Safari Dream is a July 2014 safari-inspired video slot designed by Cayetano Gaming. Big cat, big five animal, game drive, wildlife, playing card values, wildlife photography, wildlife viewing, and tourism are among the themes. Relatable games from Cayetano Gaming include Dark Jungle (2018), Forest Rush (2016), and Rhino Rumble (2019). The numerous safari-themed rival games include: Safari Sam (November 2012) from Betsoft Gaming, Savanna Safari (February 2018) from Nucleus Gaming, and Hot Safari (March 2016) from Pragmatic Play.

The noun “safari” refers to either a wildlife viewing or hunting tour particularly in a Southern or East African setting; while the noun “dream” contextually denotes a surreal tour. One symbol (the “FREE SPINS”) requires three combinations; eleven symbols (lion, female tourist, vehicle, buffalo, zebra, gazelle, hat, binoculars, A, K, and Q) require three, four, or five winning combinations. However, symbols are automatically chosen during the instant winnings.

Safari Dream Game Characteristics

The Safari Dream has a red-lined cream 5X4 grid that turns purplish during the winning rounds. There are twelve symbols, free spins, win multipliers, autoplay, stacked wilds, instant wins, forty fixed pay lines, fixed odds, and regular payouts that range from X5 to X1000.

Safari Dream has two special symbols and ten ordinary symbols. The special symbols: a colorful “FREE SPINS” symbol; and a majestic “WILD” lion, which is the substitute. The ordinary symbols: a female tourist with a DSLR camera; an African buffalo; a zebra; a gazelle; a white Land Rover Defender; a gazelle; a yellow-green bush hat; a green pair of binoculars; a red A; a purple K; and a golden Q.

After loading, the Safari Dream software shows it two best features—the camera-based instant wins and the free spins-based win multipliers. Pressing the luxury black-and-white round “start” icon ushers slot players into the interface.

Befitting high-rollers and accessed via the “stake” icon at bottom left, the Safari Dream bet sizes are: $0.40 (minimum bet), $0.80, $1.20, $1.60, $2.00, $4.00, $10.00, $20.00, $40.00, $120.00, $200.00, $400.00, $800.00, $1000.00, $1600.00, $2000.00, and $4000.00, (maximum bet).

The Safari Dream payouts for three, four, and five winning combinations. The “Wild” lion pays X40, X200, and X1000; the buffalo pays X20, X50, and X200; the tourist pays X30, X100, and X400; the zebra has X15, X40, and X180; the Land Rover pays X25, X75, and X300; either the bush hat, or pair of binoculars pays X8, X25, and X100; and A, or K, or Q pays X5, X10, and X60.

Three “FREE SPINS” symbols can even offer twelve free spins. Up to X5 win multiplier can be applied on the regular wins. During the instant wins mode: bush hat, or binoculars offers X5; A, K, or Q has X3; Land Rover has X15; gazelle has X7; tourist has X20; zebra has X9; buffalo has X10; and “WILD” lion has X50. Three “FREE SPINS” symbols offer twelve free games. Therefore, the instant wins can reach $4000.00 X50, which is up to $200000.00. The non-progressive jackpot of Safari Dream is $4000.00 X1000, which is theoretically $4000000.00,

The Safari Dream software is good. Stake, spin, and autoplay (up to 100 rounds) icons are at center right. The drop-down menu at top right contains paytable, home, on/off sound, and full screen; clicking the “help” icon displays a “404- Not Found” error. The diverse sound effects include: a trumpeting elephant, roaring lion, chattering monkeys, and chirping and trilling birds. There are animated 3D graphics. The herds of gazelles and giraffes beside acacia trees relate with the golden yellow-and-orange theme color and golden sunbeams.
