Continent Africa Review
Wanting to witness the thrill and beauty of tribal culture, then look no further than BF Games’ Continent Africa. As the name suggests, the slot is set in the continent of Africa. With 5-reels and 20 paylines, the gameplay is quite traditional. It brings excitement in the form of an animal theme and embracing the landscapes of the Continent Africa.
Design
Surrounded by animals and stunning landscapes, Continent Africa looks great. The style of the characters and backgrounds almost feels like the DreamWorks film Madagascar. It’s playful and fun to make it more exciting.
Sadly, the backgrounds aren’t animated - so it may feel more like a still from the film rather than a scene. The slot only comes to life once you successfully land on a payline and the animals come to life. That’s when Continent Africa really feels more alive.
As you open up the slot, you’ll hear tribal chants that truly sound amazing. It’s a shame that they stop playing this after a few seconds. The only other sounds you get are the sounds of the reels spinning. Other than that, it’s mainly silent. For a title from BF Games, it does feel a bit lacking in creativity. Bonnie & Clyde and Stunning Cube have so much imagination thrown in, that Continent Africa let’s down the name a little bit.
Gameplay
There is a lot of inspiration aesthetically from Mega Moolah in visuals, and there definitely is in simple gameplay. Nothing is too complicated and all explained fairly well. It’s a standard online slot game with nothing special too it really.
Menus are easy to see at the bottom with a big green button highlighting the spin button. To the right of this, you can see autospin between 10 to 100.
Win Potential
Honestly, Continent Africa has a great RTP that is above the standard average at 96.22%. With the medium volatility thrown in as well, you could have quite a balanced game with this slot. It’s great for veterans and newcomers to online slots.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the payout to match. You can win a measly 20x your stake by rolling 5 wilds during the slot. You could double this during the free spins round, and then double it up by gambling. That leaves you with a maximum of 80x your stake. Of course if you bet the maximum, then you could be in for some nice returns. However, this will isolate players and for that reason lowers the overall win potential.
Our Verdict
Whilst Continent Africa has some fun elements to the gameplay, overall it’s quite outdated. It was released in 2017, but has not held up to the best standard now. If you love animal themed slots and want something with a great RTP, then Continent Africa is one you should check out. For a lower RTP but the chance at a progressive jackpot, try Mega Moolah instead.
