Big Five symbols
Lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo and leopards are the high-paying symbols; acacia trees and sunsets fill the reels.

Safari slots: lions, elephants and the savanna
Safari slots are set on the African savanna, with lions, elephants, rhinos and buffalo as the top symbols. For players in Kenya it is the most local of the slot themes. This page lists the safari slots we list with their published RTP and volatility rating.

Which safari slot should I start with?
Choose by volatility. The safari slots we list run from low to very high volatility, so the same KSh budget lasts very differently from one to the next; the picks below cover each end.

A small theme, so one or two slots move the figures. Read them as a guide to these titles, not a rule for the genre.
Computed from the slots we list. RTP is each slot's listed figure for its standard version; volatility counts only ratings on a five-step scale from studios whose ratings vary.

How the theme plays
What safari slots offer
Savanna lions or lion dance
Savanna lion slots such as Safari King belong here. Lion-dance slots such as 5 Lions come from the Asian fortune genre and sit with dragon slots.
Dragon slots →Kenyan context
Studios draw on the Serengeti and Maasai Mara for the artwork. The games are made abroad and none of the studios here is Kenyan.
Cost per spin Computed from the slots we list
What these slots cost per spin
Expected cost = bet × spins × (1 − RTP), at the median RTP of these slots, 96.20%.
| Bet per spin | 100 spins | 1,000 spins | 1 hour (600 spins) | vs median 96.01% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KSh 10 | KSh 38 | KSh 380 | KSh 228 | −KSh 19 |
| KSh 20 | KSh 76 | KSh 760 | KSh 456 | −KSh 38 |
| KSh 50 | KSh 190 | KSh 1,900 | KSh 1,140 | −KSh 95 |
| KSh 100 | KSh 380 | KSh 3,800 | KSh 2,280 | −KSh 190 |
What a percentage point of RTP is worth
At KSh 20 a spin, 1,000 spins put KSh 20,000 through the slot. Each percentage point of RTP is KSh 200 of that on average, so a 94% slot costs about KSh 500 more over those spins than a 96.5% one.
What it means: The theme does not change the maths. Check a slot's RTP before you pick it for its look.
