Zimba and Friends Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

Zimba and Friends is a wild animal-themed game is built around a 5-reel, 3-row format and has 12 paylines developed by Arrow’s Edge Gaming. The number of paylines is adjustable, so you don’t have to worry about playing more – or spending more money – than you’re comfortable with.

Zimba and Friends is a bright, immersive and fun-themed video slot that offers one of the most dynamic and well-made designs that we’ve seen from Arrow’s Edge. The reels themselves are transparent, and are set around a bamboo frame; you’ll see branches and vines making their way across the top of the screen, and in the backdrop, there’s a jungle with various plants and animals.

In terms of symbols, Zimba and Friends uses playing card values, including 10, jack, queen, king, and ace to represent the low-value ones. The higher-paying symbols are all theme-specific, and include bananas, elephants, meerkats, lions, and elephants.

Assuming you choose to play Zimba and Friends at the maximum number of lines possible, the minimum bet is 0.24 credits, while the max bet reaches all the way up to 192 credits per spin. There’s an autoplay function, which allows you to pre-set up to 50 games to play-out automatically.

Unfortunately, there’s no quickspin option, although some of the game developer’s newer releases may have this in the future.

Game Features

Zimba and Friends has a few bonuses and features to talk about – the first of which is the Monkey Expanding Wilds. If you manage to land a monkey symbol on the third reel, you’ll trigger this bonus.

Wilds will then expand in other positions – and these positions change depending on the location that the triggering monkey landed in. These wild symbols then lock in place for between one and six re-spins.

If you land a giraffe symbol on reels two or four, you will trigger the vertical expanding wild feature. The giraffe will then expand to fill the entire reel that it landed on – and up to six re-spins are then awarded. The re-spins continue for as long as giraffe symbols continue to land – and when no more land, the bonus round ends.

Finally, there are three different progressive jackpots available. These include the Mystery Jackpot, the Cash Grab Jackpot, and the Super Spins Jackpot. These are all awarded randomly during the base game.
