African Quest Slot Review

African Quest RTP and Wagering

African Quest runs on a 5 reel, 4 row engine with 1,024 ways to win instead of fixed paylines. You can stake between £0.10 and £15 per spin, which suits low and mid stakes players more than high rollers. The stated RTP sits at 96.02% in the base game, rising to around 96.52% when you use the paid Hyperspins re-spin mechanic. Volatility is high, so you should expect dry patches between the more serious hits.

From my own sessions on African Quest, most base game returns came as small top ups, with the bankroll swinging quite hard at times. The official maximum win goes up to 5,600x your stake, though some material rounds this nearer the 5,000x mark. Either way, the real money lies in wild multipliers during free spins, so I usually keep stakes modest and try to ride out the quieter spells until the bonus lands.

African Quest Symbols and Audio & Video Design

African Quest is set against a wide savanna at sunset, with a fiery sky, long grass, and a giraffe in the distance while birds glide overhead. The graphics are colourful rather than flashy, but the scene works well. Gentle background sounds of the bush mix with short bursts of African-style music on each spin, and wins trigger drum beats and chimes. When lions land as part of a win, their roar adds a nice touch to the atmosphere.

There are thirteen symbols altogether in African Quest. The lower pay icons are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, each paying 0.50x, 1x and 2.50x your bet for 3, 4 and 5 of a kind. Giraffe and zebra pay 0.70x, 1.50x and 3x, while rhino and elephant give 1x, 2x and 3.50x. The stacked lion is the top paying regular symbol, paying from just two of a kind up to 7.50x for five.

The Africa map scatter symbol pays anywhere, awarding 2x, 10x or 20x your bet for 3, 4 or 5 scatters and also triggering free spins. The tree silhouette is the wild, landing only on reels 2, 3 and 4. Wilds substitute for everything except scatters, both in the base game and during free spins. In the bonus rounds, any wild that helps create a win also carries a random multiplier from the range you chose at the start.

African Quest Bonus Features

For me, the real pull of African Quest is the free spins feature. Three or more scatters anywhere trigger a scatter win first and then a choice of three free spins options. One package gives fewer spins with higher wild multipliers of x3 to x4, another sits in the middle with x2 to x3, and the last offers the most spins with x1 to x2. When more than one wild joins a win, their values combine to reach up to x64.

On top of that, extra scatters during the feature add more spins to your total, so a good round can run for a while. In the base game you also get Hyperspins, which let you re-spin individual reels after any spin at a shown price. I tend to use this only when one reel is missing a scatter or lion stack, as the cost can jump quite high when a strong win is already lining up.

How You Can Play African Quest

Getting started on African Quest is very simple. Load the slot, set your stake between £0.10 and £15 using the plus and minus buttons beside the total bet, and check your session budget. The 5x4 reels sit above a clear control bar, with the main spin button in the centre, autoplay next to it, and a max bet button on the left. I usually switch on the lightning icon for quicker spins, then spin manually to stay in control.

How to Play for Free in African Quest

I always recommend trying African Quest in demo mode first. The free version uses the same reel set, RTP, volatility and bonus features as the cash game, so you can see how often Hyperspins are worth buying and which free spins option suits your style. A few test sessions also give you a feel for how frequently the stacked lions appear, before you risk real money on a high variance safari.

African Quest Final Thoughts

African Quest from Triple Edge Studios is a solid African safari slot that leans on gameplay rather than flashy presentation. The combination of 1,024 ways to win, stacked lions, Hyperspins and three free spins options gives you more decisions than many high volatility games. In my experience, the slot can feel quiet for stretches, but a single strong bonus with combined wild multipliers can easily swing a session into profit.

On the downside, regular symbol values are quite low, so the base game rarely throws up very big hits without help from features. The £15 maximum stake also keeps serious high rollers away. For players happy with medium stakes and a patient bankroll, though, African Quest offers an engaging mix of choice and risk. I like to warm up in demo, then move to small real money bets and chase that big x64 multiplier moment.
