Our take
Sequel with upgraded mechanics and 96.05% RTP, but limited coverage of bonus frequency and hit rate means it remains moderately volatile.
African Sunset 2 is GameArt's follow-up to their 2015 African Sunset slot, and it brings meaningful gameplay evolution. The core format—5 reels, 3 rows, 15 paylines—remains straightforward, but the math model and bonus structure have been substantially redesigned.
The wild symbol is your key mechanic: it substitutes for other symbols, and during the free spins round it transforms into additional wilds, cascading to create more winning opportunities. This transformation system creates moments where free spins can snowball into significant payouts. The 96.05% RTP is solid, and the maximum win of 8,778× suggests a game designed for high-volatility sessions.
Visually, the safari setting is polished. You'll see giraffes, lions, rhinos, and zebras across a warm, earthy colour palette. The theme feels genuine rather than phoned-in. For players who enjoyed the original or favour African-inspired slots with wild mechanics, this sequel is a meaningful upgrade.
Pros
- Solid 96.05% RTP paired with high volatility
