African Quest

African Quest sends players on safari with Triple Edge Studios, running on a 5x4 grid with 1,024 ways to win - a step up from the 5x3, 10-payline format the studio typically favours, giving the reels more room to build combinations. It's a wildlife-themed slot topped by Kubwa the Lion, presented front and centre as the game's flagship symbol and highest earner among the animal set.

Visually, African Quest plays it safe: a tree-lined savanna with a warm sunrise-or-sunset glow sits behind the reels, and while the artwork is competently done, it treads very familiar ground for anyone who's spun a few African wildlife slots before. The UI carries the classic Triple Edge/Microgaming layout, and the default bet sits at one credit per spin, adjustable from 10p/c up to $/€15.

Ten base symbols make up the paytable - nine-through-Ace royals styled with an African motif, plus five animal icons: zebra, giraffe, rhino, elephant, and Kubwa the Lion topping the list. Rather than a straightforward free spins round, African Quest brings back Triple Edge's Hyperspins feature, previously seen in games like Book of Oz and Break da Bank Again. At the end of any base-game spin, players can pay to re-spin individual reels as many times as they like, chasing a specific symbol to complete or upgrade a combination - with the cost scaling based on how lucrative the resulting combination would be.

RTP comes in at a healthy 96.5%, and the game is rated high volatility, which fits the extended 1,024-ways format and the optional Hyperspins gamble mechanic layered on top of it. Maximum win and hit frequency figures haven't been published for this title, so it's worth treating both as unknowns until you've spun the reels yourself. Stakes run from 10p/c to $/€15 per spin, a fairly modest top end that keeps the game accessible even without knowing the full win potential in advance.

Worth flagging too that Hyperspins isn't a free extra - it's an optional gamble players opt into after a base-game spin, paying a fee scaled to how valuable the resulting combination could become if the chosen reel lands the right symbol. That makes African Quest as much a decision-based slot as a pure luck one; players who prefer to sit back and let autoplay run may get less out of it than those willing to actively weigh up each Hyperspins opportunity as it appears.

Given the high volatility and the added risk-reward layer of Hyperspins, African Quest suits players who like a bit of extra control over their spins rather than a purely passive experience. With the max win and hit rate undisclosed, the smartest move is to run the free demo at johnessyslots first, get a feel for how the Hyperspins economics work, and decide from there whether it's worth switching to real stakes.
