Great Game Serengeti

Great Game Serengeti is a mid-volatility payline slot from Hacksaw Gaming, released on 10 September 2026, with a maximum win of 5,000x the bet. Its volatility is rated 3 out of 5, and it is built around a single recurring event: the Hunt.

The safari theme is played for laughs, with Hacksaw's intro running through a packing list of ammo, binoculars and a khaki outfit. Mechanically, it is a collect game. Animals on the reels turn into cash-value Coins, and Traps gather those values together.

Volatility: 3/5. Max win: 5,000x. Win type: paylines. RTP versions: 96.29%, 94.21%, 92.30% and 86.24%. Release date: 10 September 2026.

The 5,000x cap is modest by Hacksaw standards, which fits the middle volatility rating. As with the provider's other releases, the casino chooses which RTP version to host, so check the game info for the exact figure.

A Hunt starts whenever a Hunting Season symbol lands. Five shots are then fired at the targets sitting above the reels, and every reel that gets hit is where the action happens.

On a hit reel, any 1-Star, 2-Star or 3-Star Animal transforms into a Coin symbol carrying a cash value. A 4-Star Animal on a hit reel becomes a Trap instead, with a value of at least 10x.

Traps are the collectors. A Trap takes the values of all other Coin and Trap symbols and adds them to its own value. So the best Hunt is one where the shots land on reels holding both a 4-Star Animal and a spread of lower-rated animals, giving the Trap plenty to gather.

A quick way to read the star ratings: 1, 2 and 3 stars all lead to Coins, while 4 stars is the only rating that produces a Trap. When you see a 4-Star Animal on the reels, the question is simply whether one of the five shots finds its reel. If it does not, the Hunt still pays through Coins, but nothing collects them into a single larger prize.

Wilds have a second role in this game. When a Wild sits on a reel that is hit during a Hunt, it applies multiplier values of up to x20 to between 1 and 5 Coins and Traps.

Timing matters here. Because Traps gather the values of Coins, a multiplied Coin could matter twice if a Trap then collects it, which would let one Wild lift the whole Hunt rather than a single symbol. The provider's summary does not spell out the full order of operations, so it is worth watching a few Hunts in the demo to see how the multipliers and collection resolve.

A Stampede Reveal is a random pre-spin event. There is a chance one triggers before any symbols land, and when it does, two things are guaranteed: a Hunting Season symbol will land, and no low-paying symbols can appear on the grid.

That second rule is the important one. With the low-paying symbols removed, the grid has more room for Animals, which means a better chance of Coins and Traps once the Hunt fires. In effect, a Stampede Reveal is a Hunt with the odds tilted in your favour.

Landing three or more FS symbols at the same time triggers one of three bonus games, each more generous with Hunts than the last.

Khaki Quest (3 FS) gives 8 free spins with a higher chance of landing Hunting Season symbols, so Hunts should come around more often than in the base game.

Roaring Reign (4 FS) gives 10 free spins with a progressive Lion Bar that awards Stampede Reveals. Progress on the bar builds up during the round and pays out in those favourable, low-symbol-free spins.

Zebrawl, the hidden Epic bonus (5 FS), gives 10 free spins with the same progressive Lion Bar plus a Hunting Season symbol guaranteed on every spin. Every spin is a Hunt, and the Lion Bar adds Stampede Reveals on top.

Hacksaw runs a free demo on its own site. When you try it, keep track of three things.

First, how often a Hunting Season symbol lands in the base game, since that sets the pace. Second, which reels the five shots tend to hit and whether they line up with the higher-star Animals; a Hunt that misses the 4-Star reel will not produce a Trap. Third, how frequently Stampede Reveals appear, as they are the base game's best moments.

The 3/5 volatility means you should see features more regularly than in Hacksaw's 5/5 releases, though the lower 5,000x ceiling limits how big any single Hunt can get.

Great Game Serengeti is a tidy collect slot with a clear hierarchy: Animals become Coins, 4-Star Animals become Traps, Wilds multiply, and Traps collect. Stampede Reveals and the Lion Bar give the bonuses a clear sense of progression.

It will suit players who like frequent feature activity and a readable set of rules more than those chasing Hacksaw's giant multipliers.

What is the RTP of Great Game Serengeti?

Hacksaw Gaming offers Great Game Serengeti in four RTP versions: 96.29%, 94.21%, 92.30% and 86.24%. Casinos decide which one to run, so the figure varies between sites. Check the in-game information screen to see which version you are playing, especially as the lowest setting returns around ten points less than the highest.

What is the max win in Great Game Serengeti?

The maximum win is 5,000x the bet. That is lower than many Hacksaw releases and matches the game's 3 out of 5 volatility rating. The biggest results are likely to come from Hunts where Traps collect several Coins that have been boosted by Wild multipliers of up to x20, particularly in the bonus rounds.

How does the Hunt work in Great Game Serengeti?

A Hunt starts when a Hunting Season symbol lands. Five shots are fired at targets above the reels. On hit reels, 1-Star, 2-Star and 3-Star Animals become Coins with cash values, and 4-Star Animals become Traps worth at least 10x. Traps then collect the values of all other Coins and Traps.

What is a Stampede Reveal?

A Stampede Reveal is a random event that can trigger before any symbols land on a spin. During one, a Hunting Season symbol is guaranteed and no low-paying symbols can land, which improves the chance of Coins and Traps in the Hunt. The Roaring Reign and Zebrawl bonuses award Stampede Reveals through a progressive Lion Bar.

How do you unlock the Zebrawl bonus?

Zebrawl is the hidden Epic bonus in Great Game Serengeti, triggered by landing 5 FS symbols at the same time. It awards 10 free spins with a progressive Lion Bar that grants Stampede Reveals, and a Hunting Season symbol is guaranteed on every spin, so each free spin includes a Hunt.
