King Tusk

Microgaming´s King Tusk slot is an African themed 5 reel online slot. A Serengeti styled adventure with  expanding Wilds and a trio of free spin modifiers.

The Graphics

On top of the reels in between the game logo sits the huge King Tusk. Endowed with enormous tusks he will also give a tremendous roar as he lands on the reels. The backdrop to your play is a simple design featuring  Africa’s sun scorched savannah with giraffes, rhinos and zebras.

King Tusk Slot Gameplay

Place your bets on this majestic animal over 3 rows, 5 reels and a mighty 25 pay-lines.

The top-scoring icons are a pair of elephants having a trunk cuddle, a grazing group of elephants, and an African pot decorated with these big grey mammals.

The lower value icons are the Ace through 9 of the card deck done up with African-inspired letters and the odd lizard thrown in for good measure.

Hold your nerve, as this game’s Wild is big beast, King Tusk, himself – and he’s preparing to charge with his giant tusks pointing directly at you! The Wild will substitute for all icons, except the Scatter but it will also pay out mammoth wins – as it can randomly expand to cover more than one spot.

This game’s logo is the Scatter in King Tusk slot, but will only crop up on the middle 3 reels.

The Bonuses

Land 3x Scatters on the middle 3 reels and you’ll trigger off the Free Spins with 10 goes on offer. There are 3 options for you to choose from:

Prepare to be scared in Elephants Stampede. While you take your spins you’ll see that 2 of the reels will transform into stacked Wilds to help generate bigger wins for you.

Elephant Dance adds an additional Wild to the reel set for each spin, and these will stick in place for 5 spins.

Finally, Elephants Gone Wild transforms all the elephant icons into Wilds for the duration of the 10 spins. Even I’ll trumpet about that nifty trick!

Plus, if you land 3x more Scatters during the bonus mode, you’ll gain a further 10 free games.

The Monkey Verdict

King Tusk slot isn’t box fresh but this Microgaming title has a devoted following thanks to its classic look and the straightforward game mechanics. Those randomly expanding Wilds and 3x free spin bonuses make this game as rewarding as it is fun to play.

Score 4 out of 5 bananas.
