African Elephant is a 5-reel, 4-row slot with 20 fixed paylines released by Pragmatic Play in April 2023. The game features a savannah animal theme with symbol sets divided into low-paying royal cards (J-A) and high-paying wildlife imagery including meerkats, cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, and rhinoceroses. The visual presentation uses an intricate wooden frame design to house the playing grid. Payouts range from 0.25x to 4x the bet on low symbols and 0.5x to 30x on premium symbols, with elephant wilds paying up to 75x for five-of-a-kind combinations. The game operates with high volatility and a 96.04% RTP, supporting bets from €0.20 to €100 per spin. African Elephant distinguishes itself through its Wild Shape mechanic rather than standard random wilds, creating visual anticipation by displaying pattern outlines before symbol transformation.
Gameplay
African Elephant appeals to players seeking high-volatility gameplay with a straightforward mechanic centered on the Wild Shape feature that transforms marked grid positions into wilds.

Special Feature
The Wild Shape feature marks random grid positions with a visible pattern outline before transforming all symbols within those areas into elephant wilds, distinguishing it from standard random wild mechanics.
