Animal Instinct

Animal Instinct by Playtech features a 5x4 reel grid with 40 fixed paylines, where wins form by landing matching symbols from left to right starting on reel 1. Bets range from 0.80 to 240, with gameplay centered on animal symbols like lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo, each tied to colored meters above the reels, alongside standard card suits as low pays. The Power Collect symbol, landing on reels 2-4, highlights one color (blue, red, yellow, purple, green), collects all on-screen instances of the matching animal, awards a payout, fills the corresponding meter, and transforms into a wild. Wilds substitute for regular symbols except scatters and Power Collects. Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 trigger Animal Free Games, awarding 5 spins based on the fullest meter: Lion turns one animal to wilds per spin; Elephant applies cycling multipliers (2x-25x) from a row above to Collect wins; Leopard reveals coin and multiplier scatters; Rhino makes Power Collects double-stacked; Buffalo adds massive sticky wild stacks (55 on reel 2 first spin, 40 on reel 3 second, 65 on reel 4) that persist. Visuals depict an African savanna with desert backdrop and mountains, using vibrant animal graphics and totem-like designs. It stands out through meter-driven free spins selection and color-coded collection that builds toward specific high-volatility bonuses, blending strategy with frequent feature triggers.
