Animafia

Original theme with a funny twist

Of course, the observant reader had long realized that Animafia is a contraction of “animal” and “mafia.” While the theme may sound somewhat dark, Animafia actually puts a humorous twist on it.

For example, the base game appears to take place right in front of the entrance to a zoo. However, we do not get the idea that we are actually dealing with a zoo here. Rather, it seems to be a kind of facade, behind which mafia bosses have their headquarters. On top of that, we see the armed “guards” raiding a bank during the free spins feature. More about that free spins feature later.

Of course, a funny slot machine like Animafia is accompanied by a cheerful and adventurous soundtrack, through which jungle sounds can be heard from time to time.

In Animafia, wild animals are extra wild!

The playing field of Animafia has dimensions of 5×5 and there are 40 paylines available. You have to spin 3 or more of the same symbols from left to right on such a payline to form a winning combination.

Your bet at online casinos each spin is a minimum of $0.20 and a maximum of $50, unless you activate the golden bet feature. That will in fact increase your bet by 20%, in exchange for doubling the chance of the free spins feature being activated.

The maximum prize you can win at this mafiosa? That’s the maximum prize of (only) 3,200 times the bet.

The important role of wilds and scatters

Although you need 3 scatters in Animafia to activate the free spins feature, it is also nice if you only manage to spin 2 scatters at once.

In addition, Animafia is characterized by the fact that there are 3 different types of wilds present. Note: we are talking about the base game, because during the free spins feature we get to deal with another new type of wild.

Three types of wilds

Actually, the base game of Animafia has 4 types of wilds, but we won’t count the “regular” wild in this situation.

This is because the power wilds are much more interesting and can appear on stage at any time. When that happens, they trigger their corresponding modifier:

• Expanding wild expands to the maximum size of the reel
• Random wild adds 4 to 15 wilds to random spots on the playing field
• Monster wild can appear in different sizes. Minimum has dimensions of 1×1 and maximum of 5×5

Animafia free spins

As you know by now, 3 scatters are needed to unlock Animafia’s free spins bonus. That would mean that it’s a big bummer when you spin 2 scatters, but that’s not quite the case. In fact, every time you spin 2 scatters, a special collector’s meter is filled. And that is very important, since the level of the accumulation meter determines how many free spins the free spins feature will be played with. The fuller the accumulation meter, the greater the number of free spins you will receive the next time you trigger the free spins feature.

Minimum is 6 free spins and maximum is 20 free spins. So spinning 2 scatters multiple times can make quite a difference. Animafia’s free spins feature revolves around roaming wilds, to which a level system is linked. Scatters can cause you to level up, which results in roaming wilds increasing in size. At first, the sizes are 1×1, but they can grow to 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 and eventually even 5×5. Also, a new level yields additional free spins.
