The safari theme rests on just a handful of games, but they differ widely. The oldest, Mega Moolah, dates to 2006 and is distributed by Games Global: elephants, giraffes, a lion and a network of four progressive jackpots. Its field is modest, 5×3 with 25 lines, and its RTP is 88.12%, far below ordinary slots because part of the return feeds the prize pool. The jackpot slots guide explains how such jackpots work.
Newer games rely on other ideas. Hacksaw Gaming’s Great Game Serengeti, released on 10 September 2026, sends you on a Serengeti safari where accurate shots at targets above the reels turn animals into coins and traps collect their values. Five reels, line wins, medium volatility and x5000 describe it, and it follows Great Game Rockies in the series.
Pragmatic Play brings two different beasts. Great Rhino Megaways was the studio’s first game on the Megaways engine, licensed from Big Time Gaming, with up to 200,704 ways, low volatility and a x20,000 cap. Buffalo King behaves differently: a 6×4 field with 4,096 ways, and Wild multipliers in free spins that are multiplied together instead of summed, which pushes the cap to x93,750 at medium volatility. The Megaways guide covers the ways system.
Red Tiger adds Buffalo Mania Megaways, where a herd stampedes across the prairie and can burst onto the reels at any moment. The field reaches 6×7 with up to 117,649 ways, 95.69% RTP, very high volatility and x19,995.
Compared side by side, the theme thrives on contrast. Mega Moolah gives up payback for a huge jackpot, Great Rhino Megaways surprises with low volatility and a high ceiling, and Buffalo Mania Megaways is the roughest. For an even session pick Great Rhino Megaways, and for rare big payouts Buffalo King.
