As you'd expect given the theme, the reels in Photo Safari are filled with both animal and photography imagery. Look out for cartoon style images of zebras, giraffes, elephants and lions. They're joined by playing card symbols from A to 10, all of which are embellished by an African theme. The Zulu shield and drums are the wild, substituting for all symbols apart from the scatter and bonus. Five wilds in a payline will net you a 5,000 coin payout.
Look out for 3 or more cameras as they trigger the Bonus feature - it's a variation on the pick me feature. Take a peek through the viewfinder to find a photo and take a snap. The developed photo will reveal either the front or the back of 1 of the 4 animals.
The back of the animal will deliver a win of double your total bet. Find the zebra's head and you'll win five times your total bet. There's 10x on offer if you snap the giraffe's face and 25x if it's the elephant face. Find the lion's face and a bonus of 100 times your total bet will be yours. You'll take 3 photos in all with some impressive amounts of coins on offer if your photo skills match Rankin.
The roll of film is the scatter - find 3 or more of these and you'll activate the Free Spins feature and be awarded 15 free spins. Unfortunately, you can't re-trigger an extra free games but the roll of film symbols will turn into wilds for the duration of the bonus.
Photo Safari is a relatively low variance slot so don't expect to be breaking the bank too often. There's plenty to enjoy though. Free spins are always welcome and the pick me round provides a nice twist on a traditional offering. The visuals are well done and the action plays out to a bouncing African soundtrack.
If you like wild animal themed slots, I would recommend Raging Rhino by WMS which is very volatile. I’d also take a look at Double Buffalo Spirit (also by WMS) which is a land-based favourite.
