Safari Sam 2 review

Theme and Storyline

This slot is themed around an African Safari.

Set on the African savanna, this game is hosted by an eccentric ranger named Sam. With his help, players will explore a world filled with friendly wild animals and scorching heat.

The whimsical mood of this game provides an exotic escape into a sunny world of adventure.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack is made up of percussion beats and animal noises. The lion roar in particular provides a safari-like ambiance. A rainstick rustles when players hit 'spin', adding to the sense that this is an African setting.

The characters of this game are animated with a Pixar-like quality. Sam looks from side to side nervously, while the female guide raises an eyebrow with sassy confidence. Players may begin to have a sense that she’s the one really running the show.

The animal symbols are especially memorable, with a grumpy lion and sly-faced zebra stealing the show. They are accompanied by a host of other safari symbols from rugged vehicles to makeshift tents and a acacia tree silhouetted against a sunset.

Whenever the reels spin, they leave a little trail of dust, adding to the sense that players are riding on dry roads.

The backdrop behind the reels is beautifully animated with distant mountains and clear blue skies. The reels themselves seem built into a large welcoming tree.

Overall, the graphics and soundtrack support the theme effectively and help make this game’s world an entertaining one.
