Stampede

The African savannah! It’s a sprawling plain as far as the eye can see. A sea of grass and shrubs, broken up by the occasional tree or mountain you can make out in the distance. Here, speed alone won’t save you. What you’ll need is luck, endurance, and smarts!

Stampede Slot Review

Stampede is played on a five reel board, where each reel is four symbols tall. Rather than using a standard payline layout, this game offers players 1024 Ways to Win! Scoring a win under this system is a lot easier than usual. All you have to do is find three or more identical icons in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. As long as that one rule is satisfied, you get to revel in the satisfaction of winning!

Betsoft’s release is far from the most complex one we have seen. Just the opposite, its special features are kept quite sweet and simple. Three, four or five Scatters will activate eight, twelve or twenty free spins. All pretty standard, but then add to the fact Wilds have multipliers attached to them. Oh, and those multipliers can multiply each other. That means that any win you land could be increased by 27x!

Theme & Symbols

Stampede is a great slot if you love exotic animals. But for everyone else, this theme will be hit or miss. It looks good, don’t get us wrong. But much like a gorgeous fruit machine, it’s something that temporarily piques your curiosity, and then loses it. There’s little about this game to make it stick in our minds. It’s no Good Girl Bad Girl, which went out of its way to integrate theme and gameplay.

We really like the background image of this game. It perfectly captures the feeling of staring off into the distance while in a savannah. It’s majority grass and nothing, with the occasional appearance of something here and there. Trees, mountains and animals are what you see in most of the cases. Of course, it’s the animals you can’t see that you should really be worrying about.

Symbol designs are a mixture of playing card royals and actual animal icons. All the animals are native to the African savannah. Antelopes, giraffes, zebras, birds, cheetahs and elephants can all be found hanging out at the reel. A colorful tree illuminated by the Sun is the Scatter, while the word Wild is this release’s Wild. Remember to act shocked. Playing card royals try out a more tribal look, but we can’t say we’re big fans of it.

How to Play Stampede

Stampede is played on a 5×4 board with 1024 Ways to Win, rather than your boring old paylines system. That lends itself to a maximum win of 769,500 coins, though it obviously requires a lot of luck. You have to find all the right symbols, hope they appear in the right order, and hope you hit a 27x multiplier. The odds are definitely stacked against you, but the top prize is most certainly worth it!

Fortunately, there aren’t many special features to be activated. That means that on each go, you’ll most likely be given another shot at the jackpot. Most of the time, you won’t succeed. You’ll get a miniscule win, or a small multiplier, or maybe you fail to win at all. But when all the stars align, and the slot grants you an awesome cash prize? You’ll be jumping with joy from a mere free spins with multipliers bonus!

Changing your total bet has always been easy for Betsoft games, and this release keeps it that way. You only need to tweak your coin value and bet level this time around. No need to worry about turning individual paylines on or off. You can wager between €0.40 and €200 on each spin. Great for mid-range gamblers and high rollers. For casual players? Not so much.

Bonus Features

• Free Spins

Collect three, four or five Scatters in any position to win eight, twelve or twenty free spins. It is possible to win more extra turns by collecting additional Scatters while free spins are already being played. The best part about the extra turns is the fact Wilds with multipliers can appear while they’re active. Wilds only occur on reels two, three and four, and can land with 2x or 3x multipliers. This means the absolute maximum multiplier is 27x your total stake.

• Double Up

You’re given a choice to flip your coin after every standard win. You can choose to bet all your winnings, or just 50% of them for half the prize. Guessing the coin toss correctly allows you to double your wins. However, getting it wrong even once means you lose all of your prizes for that spin.

Stampede Payouts

Stampede is played with a high volatility and a maximum jackpot worth 769,500 coins! The slot’s RTP is 95.27%, which is lower than the current 96% average most games offer nowadays.
