Zanzibar Slot Machine
The Zanzibar slot machine is similar to the Black Knight II slot machine in the sense that it is another G+ Deluxe game from one of our favorite slots developer - WMS. Using an Arabic theme, symbols portray Tea Pots, Drinking Horns, Monkeys, Horses, Oasis, Sunset Palms, Jewelry, Scimitars, Gold Kettles, and the poker card suits. The title could well be based on the beautiful Zanzibar Archipelago or it may be all about the Sultanate of Zanzibar which is semi-autonomous island located off the coast of East Africa. Whatever the origin, the game features an Arabic female fighter.
Symbols & Features
This 5-reel, 30-payline slot game comes with replicating wilds, free spins, and multipliers. Five Oasis symbols trigger the standard jackpot worth 1,500 coins. The game's graphics aren't the best we have seen from WMS and the sounds clearly have nothing to do with the theme, but nonetheless, the game play is smooth and easy to master even for a beginner. Both the Oasis and Sunset Palms are wild symbol and they substitute all other symbols on the reels apart from the Arabic Woman Fighter who is the scatter icon symbol. The Oasis wild symbol occurs on all other reels apart from reel 3. Sunset Palms on the other hand appears only on the 3rd reel.
Replicating Wild Feature
As said before, Sunset Palms is wild too and it only appears on reel 3 and when it does the larger Oasis wild symbol will be replicated across the reels, giving you more winning chances than you could ever have imagined. The replicating wilds are available in both normal and Free Spins play.
Free Spins with Multipliers
You only need to spot 3 Arabic Woman Fighters to get into the bonus round game. The number of scatters you get will determine the number of Free Spins awarded. For instance, 3 scatters will get you 10 Free Spins, 4 scatters will get you 20 Free Spins, while 5 scatters will get you 40 Free Spins. More so, all Free Spins wins are subject to a 2X multiplier. You can as well trigger additional Free Spins by getting 3 or more scatters.
Good Betting Range
The total bet that you can place on all 30-paylines runs from 0.30 to 90.00 coins. This is not the best betting range we have seen from the developer, but it sure caters for a variety of budgets. The standard Jackpot isn't that huge either, but you can definitely turn your luck around with the replicating wilds, free spins, and multipliers.
The Bottom Line
This is a medium-volatility game with small and frequent wins during base play, with the real money coming in the bonus round and also with the replicating wilds feature. The graphics are really lacking in quality, but you will very well find the game enjoyable once you start spinning. If you are looking for highly volatile slot, you might want to check out Kiss, also by WMS.
