Wheel of Africa is not a classic video slot game that you come across every day. We will be travelling to the Dark Continent, where a group of young animals will be waiting for us. There is a certain Wheel you need to spin in order to win payouts. So, no reels (maybe just one), no paylines, only a roulette-kind of a game where you place your bets on animals and colours and wait for the Wheel to stop. There is a bit more in the 2019 release. One slot-like reel will deliver three possible outcomes and reveal 2x and 8x multipliers. Finally, there is a random double win award, placed on a random field.
Those of you who played roulette before will have no problems at all understanding the rules of the game. Players are required to place their bets on a certain field, or fields, and if the Wheel stops on that particular field, gamers will win a payout, it’s as simple as that. There are Chips that are used for placing bets, and they go from 1 up to 1,000. It is possible to place Chips on several possible outcomes. Twelve different winning possibilities are waiting for you. Gamers can also bet on the slot-like game, placing Chips for the possible outcome.
When talking about the overall visual appearance, the 2019 release seems more like a cartoon than a game where you can place bets, win and lose money. The Wheel is placed in a thick jungle somewhere in Africa, overlooking ruins of some ancient city. There are no more people in this forsaken town, only animals. Little wild animals are now living there, and also delivering payouts for players who decide to try out the game. The Elephant is the symbol that pays the most, offering 40x bet if you stop the Wheel on him. You will also meet a Monkey, a Giraffe, and a lovely-looking Crocodile.
To win payouts, players need to place bets on the animals. There are 12 different options you can choose since every animal has three different colours. Players can place their bets on different fields and different animals. In the inner segment of the Wheel, you will notice an arrow that spins around. Once it stops, it will reveal the symbol and the colour. The colour is displayed on the first Wheel, while on the higher reel come the animals.
There is one more way that you can win the money. Place a bet on a slot-like reel, which spins and stops, revealing one of three options. Guess the option and you can win up to 8x bet. Finally, there is also a random multiplier that can double your winnings.
Wheel of Africa is an interesting game, to say the least. Something between a Roulette game and a video slot. The visuals are bright and colourful, while the soundtrack fits the theme nicely. Players can win really big, especially if they continue to bet on the Elephant. Be very careful when placing multiple bets, since this way of betting could suck your balance dry very quickly.
