Red Rake Gaming is ready for a wildlife-packed excursion in its latest pokie, Wild animals. The game revolves around America’s fauna and includes some of the nation’s most iconic beasts, including eagles, wolves, bears, and horses.

The game’s graphics offer a scenic depiction of America’s untamed countryside. Towering trees dominate the slot’s background, accompanied by a serene lake and clear skies.

The depiction of the animals doesn’t come across as the finest of art, but they are adequately rendered and serve the pokie’s overall purpose of providing a tranquil atmosphere.

Immerse yourself

This pokie might be relaxing by design, but there’s no time to meditate with a pile of cash worth 2000x your stake on the line. The 5×3 reel, 243 ways to win format offers bonus features in the form of free spins and the innovative Wild Fusion mini-game for which you will need to match a minimum of 3 bonus symbols.

Running with wolves

When the Wild Animals Fusion round is triggered, you will start a seemingly regular round of free spins, but the unusual nature of the mini-game soon reveals itself. A grid appears with wolf symbols placed randomly across its positions. With each spin, you stand the chance to land new wolf symbols and expand the existing ones on the grid. If two wolves appear beside each other, they will combine into a single, larger symbol. The larger the symbol the better for you as it will become increasingly easier to land high-value symbol combinations.

If a Gold Eagle alights on the reels while a Wild Fusion game is active, you will receive an extra 3 free spins.

Wild Animals offers a unique combination of a soothing theme and a pulse-raising mini-game, making it an intriguing addition to Red Rake Gaming’s online offering.​
