Zany Zebra Slot

Get ready to meet the zaniest of zebras in this bright and bold 3-reel slot machine by Microgaming software. With the possibility to play with 5 paylines, Zany Zebra offers a decent range of winning chances to spinners who like their games to be relatively simple on a gameplay front, but who are tired of the same old classic fruit machines. There is a wild symbol to give players a helping hand in their betting endeavours to land the slot machine’s jackpot of 6,000 coins.

Stripes and Slots

Whoever said that a 3-reel slot machine had to be filled with fruit symbols? We mean, there’s no rule that dictates that a simple slot machine game can’t try something a little bit out of the ordinary like throw in a crazy zebra character just for the sake of it, right? Well, if there was a rule banning black and white horses from 3-reel games, then Microgaming obviously didn’t get the memo because they have introduced a Zany Zebra to the reels of this random novelty slot.

Admittedly, this slot machine is rooted in some sort of convention with a set of reel symbols that nod to classic slot machines, including single, double and triple BARS as well as golden bells and 7s. Then there is, of course, the Zany Zebra character himself, presented on the reels wearing a pair of shades as well as below the reels surrounded with some bright and bold party paraphernalia. Indeed, far from being a black and white visage like its namesake, this game is lifted by a vibrant use of colour, mixing bright pink reels with shades of yellow, orange, red, green and blue.

Set the Reels in Motion

Even though this slot machine is adorned with one of the most complex colour schemes in the world of slot machines, it is just as effortlessly easy to play as any good 3-reel slot should be. The only thing that spinners need to do before they set the reels in motion is choose their desired bet by toggling the (-) and (+) buttons at the bottom of the screen. The coin sizes are as follows: 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 and 5.00. Then, punters need to select how many paylines they would like to activate for the spin, clicking the “Bet One” button to roll through the options which will be highlighted by the diagram in the top right hand corner of the game screen.

Of course, playing with all 5 paylines will result in a higher total bet per spin, but it might just be worth it since this will make it possible to win the game’s highest jackpot of 6,000x. That jackpot is triggered whenever three Zany Zebra icons align in a row with all five paylines triggered If three Zebras appear with fewer paylines active then a line bet multiplier of 1,000x, 2,000x, 3,000x and 4,000x will be awarded, depending on the quantity of paylines in play.

There are plenty more ways to win in this slot machine, with prizes that range from 5x to 300x the value of the wager that is placed on the winning line. All players have to do is find three matching icons upon any active payline to pay the line bet multipliers in the table below:

A Wild Zebra Appeared…

Unfortunately, this wacky 3-reel slot machine from Microgaming doesn’t offer up any major causes for celebration in the bonus feature department. So, there are no free spins, no gimmicky side games and certainly no progressive jackpot potential. However, the colourful game is given some special gameplay characteristics thanks to the fact that all zebra symbols are wild icons. That essentially means that they will help to complete winning lines by filling in the gaps for all other symbols on the reels.

Zany Spins for an Old Classic

Nothing quite beats a classic slot machine with 3 reels and a set of timelessly traditional symbols. However, it’s always nice to come across a game that takes the simple 3-reel set up and gives it a makeover. In this instance, that makeover is completely bonkers and a little bit random, calling upon the services of a Zany Zebra character to bring some colour to the proceedings. What’s more, this wacky character will perform as a wild symbol to help spinners complete their line wins for optimum winning opportunities.
