Play Button

Animal Instinct is a slot game set in a lush forest, where various creatures roam freely among the trees and streams. The reels display clear and detailed illustrations of wild animals, including foxes, owls, wolves, and deer, paired with natural elements such as leaves and paw prints. Calming woodland sounds create a peaceful atmosphere, while subtle colours evoke the feeling of a quiet morning in the countryside. Easy-to-read buttons and smooth transitions make it straightforward to play, allowing players to enjoy the patterned movement of the reels and the company of the forest’s inhabitants.

Understanding the Paytable and Paylines

  • The paytable, accessed by pressing the 'i' button, details symbol values and feature triggers. Scroll or swipe to view different sections. Return to the main game by pressing the back-arrow.
  • There are always 40 active paylines in play. Paylines are displayed across the reels and explained in the paytable.
  • Winning combinations must begin on the leftmost reel, with matching symbols appearing on consecutive reels across the same payline.

Features and Special Symbols

Wild Symbol

  • The symbol marked ‘WILD’ acts as the WILD symbol.
  • The WILD can stand in for any symbol except the Scatter and Power Collect symbols to help create winning combinations.

Scatter Symbol

  • The SCATTER symbol features the face of a tribesman.
  • Landing SCATTER symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 at the same time triggers one of four Animal Free Games or the Leopard Bonus feature.

Power Collect Symbol and Collect Feature

  • The Power Collect symbol is depicted as a circle with five coloured segments. It can land on reels 2, 3, or 4.
  • When one or more Power Collect symbols appear on these reels, the Collect feature is activated.
  • During the feature, each Power Collect symbol flashes one of five colours. The colour determines which animal symbol will be collected from the reels.
  • Once all matching animal symbols have been collected, the Power Collect symbol turns into a WILD, a payout is awarded, the corresponding reel collapses, and the respective meter is filled.

Animal Free Games and Leopard Bonus

  • Triggering three SCATTER symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 launches one of four Animal Free Games or the Leopard Bonus.
  • The selected feature depends on which animal meter is most filled at the time. If there is a tie or all are empty, the choice is made at random.
  • Available features include:
    • Lion Free Games (Gold Meter): On each spin, a random animal symbol is transformed into a WILD.
    • Elephant Free Games (Red Meter): Over 10 spins, a row of multipliers appears above the reels. The rightmost multiplier multiplies all payouts from Power Collect symbols. Each time a multiplier is used, it is removed, remaining multipliers shift one space, and a new multiplier (2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, or 25x) enters from the left. Multipliers are removed even if a Power Collect symbol attempts to collect a non-visible symbol.
    • Rhino Free Games (Pink Meter): For 10 spins, all Power Collect symbols appear in double stacks.
    • Buffalo Free Games (Blue Meter): On the 1st spin, 55 stacked WILDs are added to reel 2; on the 2nd spin, 40 stacked WILDs are added to reel 3; on the 4th spin, 65 stacked WILDs are added to reel 4. WILD symbols remain fixed until the feature concludes.
    • Leopard Bonus (Green Meter): Three SCATTER symbols land. SCATTERs on the left and right reveal a cash prize and a win multiplier respectively. The cash prize is multiplied by up to 5x, then multiplied by the total bet before being awarded.
