DANCE OF THE MASAI

About Dance of the Masai

Microgaming’s Dance of the Masai is well over a decade old. Today, this African tribal-themed slot is outdated, both in terms of theme and gameplay. In fact, it is not overly easy to find this old-school slot offering at too many internet betting sites. However, what should you expect to see if you do come across it? Dance of the Masai is played over a simplistic 5-reel, 25-line format. You can expect to see stakes range from a floor of 0.01 per line per spin, with bets capped at around 100.00 a pop here. This is because the payline structures can be altered in this dated game, and you will have total control of your bets. We’re not huge fans of the substandard RTP rate in this old game, and the non-progressive jackpot of 5,000 coins is bang average. Even so, we believe that there may still be something worth having a lot at here, especially if you are into retro slot action at online casinos.

Special Features

You’ll get the usual suspects when it comes to special features in the Dance of the Masai slot. There isn’t a whole lot to sing and shout about here. There is a wild symbol in the shape of a tribal warrior. Unfortunately, while the symbol can replace all icons save for scatters, the warrior wild only appears on the second and fourth reels. That makes it far less useful than in other typical Microgaming slots.

The scatter symbols in Dance of the Masai appear as trees on a savannah plain. These symbols can appear on all reels and will dish out payments when just two or more spring up on Dance of the Masai’s reels. You’ll need at least three trees if you want to trigger the game’s bonus round.

Bonus Feature

There isn’t really anything special about the free spin feature in this Microgaming slot. Once you’ve located three scatters, you will be rewarded with ten free spins. It doesn’t matter if you land four or five scatters – ten free spins will always be the reward here. It is worth noting that you can retrigger the bonus round if you land further scatters on the reels.

Save for the free spin bonus; you can trigger a gamble mode following any win. This basic feature allows you to risk your winnings if you can predict the outcome of the next card. You can double or even potentially quadruple your winnings if you predict the colour or suit of the next card in the sequence. We wouldn’t call this a bonus round, and it certainly isn’t enough to make us want to play the game any more than we must. However, as mentioned, if you like retro games, Dance of the Masai may be your cup of tea.
