Slot Features
Special Symbols
Special Symbols land with multipliers ranging from 1x to 100x. When they appear in clusters of six or more, they help trigger the primary feature. These symbols are also collected by the Collector Symbol to build payouts faster.
Collector Symbols
In the base game, the Collector Symbol gathers all Special Symbol multipliers from the screen and adds them to your win. During the Hold and Win Jackpot Game, Collectors remove Special Symbols from the reels after collecting their values, opening new space for additional symbols.
Jackpot Symbols
Jackpot Symbols award one of four fixed jackpots depending on how many you land:
2 Jackpot Symbols = Mini (500x)
3 Jackpot Symbols = Minor (1000x)
4 Jackpot Symbols = Major (2000x)
5 Jackpot Symbols = Grand (3000x)
The Grand Jackpot pays 3000x, and the game’s maximum potential reaches 5000x.
Hold and Win Jackpot Game
Triggered when 6 or more Special or Jackpot Symbols land:
Starts with 3 respins.
All triggering symbols remain locked.
Each new symbol resets respins to 3.
Only Special and Jackpot Symbols appear and pay.
Ends when no respins remain or the entire grid is filled.
This feature is the primary path to jackpot wins and 5000x payouts.
Buy Bonus Feature
Players can instantly access the Hold and Win feature using the 80x Buy Bonus, skipping base game spins entirely.
Conclusion
Serengeti Sunrise brings a familiar but polished Hold and Win format into a beautifully themed African wildlife setting. Mancala Gaming delivers high volatility, rewarding multipliers, strong Collector mechanics, and a well-structured jackpot system. While the RTP and hit frequency lean toward riskier gameplay, players who enjoy long-tail jackpot hunts and classic savanna-style slots will find plenty to explore. Its buy feature and fixed jackpots make it especially appealing for players looking for quick access to high-paying bonus rounds.
