The Microgaming-powered online video slot King Tusk uses an African theme and features the might elephant King Tusk that will help you hit some big bucks.

The title of the slot machine might remind you of the story of the Asian elephant, a circus performer with 6-foot-long tusks of the same name, but luckily, it has nothing to do with it. In the game, elephants run freely across African savannahs and bath with their young in ponds.

Even playing cards appearing on the reels feature the African wildlife species, so if you feel like having a real safari adventure, King Tusk may be your next pick.

Developer

The King Tusk slot is developed by Microgaming, the Isle of Man-based software provider. Being in the online gaming industry since its dawn, Microgaming claims to have launched the first ever online casino.

Today it is one of the most reputable software developers providing operators with a gaming platform and a full range of casino games. Some of the most popular slot machines ever such as Mega Moolah and Avalon II were released by Microgaming.

Despite huge popularity among players, Microgaming slots seems to be lagging behind the games available on the market today when it comes to visuals while their bonus features sometimes may be very innovative but in most cases they are used over and over again from one slot to another. By partnering with newly established software developers, Microgaming has boosted its slot offer lately with modern looking titles.

How To Play It

King Tusk features 5 reels and 25 paylines. The minimum bet is $0.25 and players are allowed to wager up to $62.50 per spin. Featuring the standard Microgaming control panel, the slot offers buttons + and -players can use to adjust the stake to their preferences and activate automatic spins instead of spinning the reels manually. Players will create winning combinations as long as they land three or more identical symbols on a paying line left to right.

Once you find yourself on the African soil, you will meet King Tusk and his family representing high-value symbols along with pots with painted elephants and African ornaments on them. These pots are full of golden coins, so look out for them for some big wins. Playing card icons award low-value payouts. Visually, the slot machine is a typical Microgaming affair with decent graphics and smooth animations.

Special Features

King Tusk himself stands for Wild which replaces all other symbols except for Scatter to help you complete more winning combinations. During the base game, Wild can expand to cover the reel entirely. You will see a big elephant herd running across the reel when it goes Wild. The logo of the game is Scatter and it triggers the free spins feature providing you with 3 different options.

Players can choose from the Gone Wild, Stampede and The Dance features and each of them comes with 10 free spins initially. In the Gone Wild feature all symbols featuring elephants act as Wilds. During the Stampede feature, two reels will turn Wild while by picking The Dance feature, you will get up to 5 additional Elephant Wilds dancing on the reels and staying in their positions for the duration of the feature. Any of free spins features can be retriggered.

Maximum Payouts

The jackpot in the King Tusk slot stands at 1,500 coins. As a low variance game, the slot machine will pay quite often, but you should not expect high payouts. While playing the game, you can win up to 992x your stake in a single spin.

During free games you can easily create longer winning combinations thanks to additional Wilds that will boost your winning chances and contribute to an increase of your balance.

Summary

Designed in bright colours and featuring smooth animations which nicely deliver the theme of the game, the King Tusk slot will provide you with an enjoyable gaming experience. Once you start playing the game, Wild reels will help you complete multiple winning combinations which will be followed by elephants’ roar adding to the overall atmosphere the African wildlife-slot creates.

Look out for Scatters to trigger one of the free spins features and enjoy your wins while forming lines with additional Wilds. The game is surely worth a spin or two, and if you are lucky enough, King Tusk and his family will help you win big.
