Benny’s the Biggest Gameby Mascot Gaming

Screenshots

Video slots come in many shapes, sizes, and themes. But life and death? Usually too heavy of a subject to go over in something that should be light and fun.

But here’s an offering that’s all about the cycle of life begging in the fertile African jungle and going all the way to the afterlife.

The elephant afterlife, that is.

It’s clear to see some parallels between this and the Lion King then since that famous animated movie was also about the cycle of life and prominently featured an elephant graveyard.

Theme

The developer Mascot Gaming is tackling this big theme (some might say biggest) by setting the entire offering in the fertile rainforest.

The background is all about greenery and blue skies suggesting life and procreation. One the other hand…

…the extra spin mode is themed after the “next world” and features some pretty gruesome imagery like graveyards and dead elephants.

It’s a tonal rollercoaster because the punters get to see the peaceful forest with tropical fruit symbols and friendly apes, giraffes, and lions but then also a hunter…

…who shoots at elephants in a pick game and finally the next world for the elephants where even a peanut symbol is depicted with a halo and wings.

There is even a mouse who is quite cleverly depicted as the Devil on account of the whole elephants being scared of mice thing.

Betting Options and Functions

This exciting look into life and death in the African savannah takes place over a five by three grid with 20 fixed lines.

The hunting expediting can cost between a minimum of 20 cents per spin and a whole 100 euros so high-rollers take notice.

In addition to these features, there are the expected options of autoplay and there is a quick spin mode for anyone who wants to skip the long spin animations and just see the results of their bet as soon as possible.

Special Features

When it comes to the special gameplay this slot, like many other new games does not disappoint because there is not just one, but two special game modes on offer here.

The first is a pick game called “Shoot Me!” and it is triggered by three of hunter special symbols appearing on the reels.

During this game, the player shoots at targets that can contain prize coins or multipliers. The winnings are tabulated at the end of the mode and the mode itself ends if the player shoots at a target containing the loss symbol.

The extra spins mode is called “Elephant’s Next World” and is set in the elephant afterlife we spoke of earlier, complete with the Mouse Satan. During this mode…

…all the symbols are replaced with new ones which have their own paytable. Besides the rodent devil there are also elephant angels, gravestones and a shrunken head.

The mode has its own special scatter and wild symbol.

The Scatter is the Harp which awards winnings and gives out additional extra spins.

The Wild symbol is a Ghost Peanut and it comes with various multipliers attached that can combine up to a hefty x125.

Our Take

An interesting and tongue-in-cheek take on hunting in Africa with several really engaging features and a game that we definitely recommend to punters all around the world.

There isn’t a lot to complain about here, and it’s a solid effort that’s bound to entertain and please.
