Slot Summary

A separate multiplier reel can change the value of each winning spin and occasionally call a wild respin, giving Hot Safari a second result beyond its main grid. Pragmatic Play pairs that device with expanding lion wilds and free spins on a 25-line safari game. The cataloged 94.07% RTP and low-volatility profile make the multiplier the sharper source of variation.

How It Plays

The main grid pays across twenty-five fixed lines, but every winning result also depends on the separate multiplier reel spinning beside it and revealing a modifier.

Lion wilds substitute for ordinary paying symbols. A lion landing in a reel's center position expands vertically, giving the middle row particular importance when reading a result.

Theme & Atmosphere

Africa, Safari, Nature, Animals, and Wildlife supply the setting, with lions and other savanna animals carrying the higher-value side of the paytable.

The presentation keeps the landscape secondary to the reels, using animal symbols and expanding lion wilds to express the safari subject during actual play.

Features & Win Potential

The Multiplier feature applies the value shown on the separate reel to qualifying wins. The same reel can instead initiate a respin containing additional wild symbols.

During a wild respin, every main reel receives a lion wild. Any lion that settles in the center row expands to cover its complete reel.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three scatters award 10 free spins, and each additional qualifying scatter result during the round adds another 10. The multiplier reel remains active throughout.

Expanding Wilds and wild respins can occur during free spins as well as base play, so the round retains both of the game's main payout modifiers.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Low). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (94.07%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
