Gems of Serengeti Review

The word ‘Serengeti’ keeps popping up in many different African safari-themed slots, and it refers to a massive protected area in Tanzania. This area includes a large National Park, and the endless savannahs are known for the largest annual animal migrations in the world. You get a glimpse of the beautiful landscape behind the 5x4 grid in Pragmatic Play’s Gems of Serengeti, and the reels are filled with wildlife and tribal characters.

The visual presentation is typical both for the safari slot genre and for Pragmatic Play, and everything is accompanied by a pleasantly upbeat soundtrack. The base game is barebones and nothing special, but you get the hold & win style Respin round on a fairly regular basis. The bonus round is all about gems collection as well, and these become your starting sticky gems in the post feature Respin round for prizes up to 4,000x your stake.

Gems of Serengeti Slot Features

The premium animal symbols pay between 10 and 37.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the wild symbol pays 50x your stake for the same. The wild also steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, like wilds normally do.

You need at least 5 gem symbols in view to trigger the Respin feature, and gems can appear on all reels. It’s a hold and win style feature where you start with 3 respins, and only new sticky gems or blanks will appear on the otherwise cleared grid.

The respins tally resets each time you land at least 1 new sticky gem, and the feature ends if you run out of spins or fill the grid.

The total win is determined by the number of sticky gems, and it ranges from 1x to 500x your stake for 5 to 20 gems, respectively.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3 bonus scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, and this gives you 10 free spins. All gem symbols that appear during the bonus round are collected, and this is how you climb the gem prize meter seen on the right. If you collect between 5 and 19 gems during the bonus round, you get the Respin feature after the free spins have played out.

The post bonus round Respin feature starts you off with the number of sticky gems on the grid that you managed to collect during the free spins phase. You win 500x your stake without getting the Respin round if you collected 20 gems in the free spins round, and the following prices if you collect more either in the free spins or Respin round:

Collect 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 or 27 gems to win prizes of 1,000x, 1,500x, 2,000x, 2,500x, 3,000x, 3,500x or 4,000x your stake, respectively. If you collect less gems than 20, you still win the prizes that range from 1x to 300x your stake also in the Respin round.

Review Summary

Gems of Serengeti is a typical Pragmatic Play release in so many ways, and it's understandable that they cannot afford to be too daring and innovative every time with such a busy production schedule. This might be a run of the mill effort, but it still has its moments when things go your way. The base game is admittedly barebones, but the Respin round triggers fairly often to break things up.

This feature can land you decent prizes, but don’t expect anything massive from regular line wins in any stage of the game, not least since the gem symbols block regular win ways. What you want is to collect as many gems as possible to get the best possible start in the post FS Respin round. Overall, this is hardly a very memorable release, and this will probably be reflected in the game’s shelf-life.

Pros

  • Streak Respins round w/ up to 500x prizes
  • Gem collect FS w/ Respins that follow
  • FS/Respin prizes can go as high as 4,000x

Cons

  • Beware of customizable RTP ranges

If you appreciate Gems of Serengeti Slot you should also try:

Serengeti Gold - is a Just For The Win installment in their ongoing streak respins range, and the HyperHold Respins round can land you jackpots up to 2,500x your stake. You can also look forward to a multiplier bonus round that can also crack the 2,500x win cap.

Africa X Up - is a volatile tribal release from Alchemy Gaming, and X Up tokens are collected to climb the multiplier ladder. You can go as high as x25, and you get the currently achieved multiplier in the bonus round.

The multiplier can be increased further though, for payouts up to 30,000x your stake.

The Ultimate 5 - is another volatile African safari installment from Pragmatic Play, and you win 100x your stake if all 5 animals are involved in a win. The hold and win round comes with a symbol linking value upgrade system, and low-value symbols are removed in the free spins round. The max win is 5,000x your stake.

Gems of Serengeti has been a fun slot to review. We loved the tribal theme and thought that the respin feature was a nice addition. The game rules were fairly. When sizable hauls of gemstones don't build, then the action can be pretty middling. In that case, Gems of Serengeti is basically a plain base game leading to a.
