Savanna Roar Review

Considering that Jelly signed up for Yggdrasil’s YGS Masters program almost a full year ago, they have certainly taken their sweet time with this debut release. Savanna Roar is set in a pastel-colored African landscape, and the visual presentation is quite pleasant and somewhat unique. The same cannot be said about the theme and features however, as this debutant has decided to play it safe.

Players looking for something extraordinary will be disappointed, but you do get a nice and varied assortment of established modifiers. These trigger at random times to liven up the base game grind, and you get even more of them in the bonus round. The math model is pretty solid, with a 10,459x potential, an above-average 96.56 % RTP and a hit rate that gives you a win around every third spin on average.

Savanna Roar Slot Features

The Lion Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, and the premium buffalo, rhino, leopard and elephant symbols pay between 0.8 and 8 x your stake for 5-oak wins. There are quite a few features to cover, and we’ll start with the randomly triggered base game modifiers:

• Rhino Stampede - turns a random selection of symbols into mystery symbols, and these then reveal the same matching symbol.
• Wild Leopard Spotted - turns all currently present leopard symbols wild.
• Buffalo Charge - makes random buffalo symbols spread to adjacent positions.
• Untamed Elephant Spotted - expands a random number of elephant symbols into 3x3 sized mega symbols.

A respin feature can sometimes trigger when bonus scatters land, and these will then lock in place as the respin plays out. Any new bonus symbols that land will become sticky as well, and this provides another respin. This goes on as long as you keep landing new scatters, and it’s a feature that can help you trigger the bonus round.

You need at least 6 bonus symbols in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and you get 10, 12, 15 or 25 free spins when you land 6, 7-8, 9-11 or 12-20 scatters, respectively. You can retrigger the feature with extra spins in the exact same way, and the bonus round comes with an extra modifier, as well as one enhanced modifier, as follows:

• The Wild Leopard Multiplier - is an enhanced version of the base game modifier, and now the leopard wilds come with random multipliers of x1, x2 or x3.
• Savage Lion - triggers when you land less than 6 bonus scatters, and these will then turn into wilds.

The 200 Spins Savanna Roar Slot Experience

Nothing too exciting happened for a while, as we grinded along in the base game. Towards the middle of the 3:22-minute highlights video we got a decent payout from the Wild Leopard Spotted modifier. The bonus round is triggered at 2:39, and you can see how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

A debut release will sometimes be a spectacular, and many times over-the-top effort, to draw attention, or it’s played safe like Jelly has done with Savanna Roar. This is a visually pleasing African-themed release, but there is nothing new to see. The gameplay is simple, with tried and tested features, but all the modifier action do provide some variety to the experience.

The 10,459x potential is solid, and it might be enough to pull in some fence-sitters curious about what this newly minted YGS Master has up its sleeve. Hopefully, Jelly will let their hair down more in future efforts, but overall this is a decent enough debut release. Their stated intention was to cater to players who want simplicity, and that’s pretty much exactly what they have done with Savanna Roar.
