I tried, I really tried. I have given Nektan every benefit of the doubt that I can but I just cannot shy away from the fact that everything they produce is just a little bit pants! Their casinos are all blacklisted and they have had the honour of their Best of British slot being named the worst online slot I have played in 2016.
A trip on an African safari means that you can either find yourself some wild animals, or get eaten by them. Either way, on the Big 5 slot game, you can get cash payouts along with your find, so that you can escape just before they decide to also have you for dinner.
I wanted to give them another shot. Let them redeem themselves with their most popular slot (allegedly) Big 5 Safari. But once again I was to be left cursing myself for putting myself through the torture of playing one of their games.
Big 5 Safari Slot Go wild and do it like they do it on the Discovery Channel with the Big 5 Safari game from Nektan. This 5-reel video slot game is themed around a safari and all it takes is a quick spin of the jeep’s wheel to set you on your way. Big 5 Safari is an online video slot from Nektan which offers the chance to enjoy a photorealistic landscape and stunning graphics. The range of features included is rather tame but there’s at least a basic bonus round together with wilds and scatters.
The African wilderness comes alive in the new 20-payline Big 5 Safari slot machine by Nektan! In this safari themed game you’ll go across the Serengeti while spinning face to face with Africa’s most beautiful creatures. Catch a glimpse of enough wildlife and perhaps National Geographic will come calling with a big wildlife bonus! Big 5 Safari Slot Machine is a top-notch application for Safari developers with a full-featured design experience. The Safari browser with support for over a million features and features to help you stay connected daily through your web browser is built with an eye to being fast, responsive and elegant.
Let me start by saying how confused I was with their so called sticky wild symbol. For the life of me I couldn’t work out why it wasn’t working. No matter the combination the sticky wilds were not acting as a wild symbol. I checked the help file in the menu but that was about as useful as a chocolate teapot. It tells us nothing. I wondered maybe the sticky wild had to be on the 1st reel? But that never spun in. Or maybe it is there for the free spins round? But no again.
Eventually the purpose was revealed… after 300 painful clicks (there is no autoplay and you cannot click away the win animations). Finally the sticky wild icon spun in on reels 2, 3 and 4. And that started a sticky wild free spin feature with a sticky wild on reel 1 for 1 spin, reel 3 for 2 spins and reel 5 for 3 spins and for some reason 4 free spins in total. Phew! Ok the slot did throw up a 150 times bet win from that feature but not before the slot had crashed and had to be reloaded (it seems to crash every time you land one of the feature bonuses).
The other bonuses, free spins is just a bog standard free spins round with no frills and a completely randomly generated number of free spins. And the pick em bonus round you have to click on the screen (presumably on some animations but these were all missing and replaced with the good old internet X icon for missing image). All fine and dandy if it worked properly.
All in all this is less mind numbingly tiresome than Best of British but it is far more confusing, full of bugs and the maths is very basic once again. Clearly developed and programmed by a sloppy and amateurish team or simply one that doesn’t really care. Knowing Nektan I’d probably plump for the latter.
Once again all I can say is steer well clear of anything with the Nektan name on it. I don’t trust them as far as I can spit.
Safaris are some of the most popular activities to undertake in Africa. If you’d like to experience this amazing activity then the Big 5 Safari will give you a glimpse into the savannah. This marvellous slot game is perfectly crafted to bring you that African experience.
The background of this game is an animated safari scape, though the animals have made their way to the reels. Once you’ve placed a wager, just hit the spin button on the tyre of the safari truck. The wheel will spin and kick up some dust before revealing the symbols that have stopped.

Big 5 Safari Slot – Catch the Hardest Beasts
The animal symbols in this game have been lovingly designed to create an almost cinematic experience. When they are part of a winning combo the animals will come to life and show their wild side. There are so many additional features in this game and they all create a wonderful slot.
Collect up three compasses to navigate your way to free spins and drop into a freebie round. This symbol won’t be affected by the wild symbol though, as this feature is too good to be copied. The wild zebra will take the place of any of the regular symbols to improve your instances of winning. This is the most valuable symbol within the game, as it can drastically increase your jackpots. It also affects the game's RTP and boosts it up to 95.01%.
Then you have the bonus round, which is brought to you by three bonus truck symbols. This round will have you snapping pictures of the various animals on safari in return for huge bonuses. The graphics in this round will have you feeling like you really are out on the savannah, so buckle up!
