Zulu Gold

Zulu Gold, developed by ELK Studios, takes players on an exhilarating journey through the heart of Africa. This slot brings the adventurous Kane back to explore the mysteries of Zulu culture, set against a vibrant jungle backdrop filled with carved symbols, tribal masks, and stunning wildlife. 

The game’s rich visuals and immersive soundscape create an engaging atmosphere that complements its innovative gameplay. Across its six reels, you’ll find an assortment of wild animals and tribal drawings that fit perfectly into the main theme. 

The Zulu Gold slot game has a return to player (RTP) percentage of 95% and a high variance. Instructions are simple and suitable for players with any level of experience, including beginners.  

Explore the Tribe 

Start playing Zulu Gold online by setting the base wager and pressing the spin button. After each symbol drop, any winning formations are paid out, followed swiftly by any triggered bonus features. 

During the base game, the Zulu Gold slot grid always begins with six reels and four rows. There are no paylines, so winning combinations are formed whenever matching symbols land on adjacent reels. It doesn’t matter which row winning symbols land, resulting in 4,096 ways to win. 

As with other Gold series slots by ELK Studios, the slot’s most valuable standard symbol is Kane. Landing three or more matches across the reels pays between 1.5x and 5x. Elephants provide the second-highest payouts, ranging between 1x and 3x. 

Zulu Gold Features 

Bonus features can trigger randomly on any Zulu Gold spin, unleashing entertaining modifiers and surprising twists. 

Zulu Gold Multiplier Free Drops 

Hitting between three and six scatters during the Zulu Gold base game unlocks between 10 and 25 free drops. During this feature, every time that three or more multiplier symbols land on the grid, their values are added to the progressive multiplier. Every standard payout in the bonus is multiplied by the progressive multiplier. 

Multiplier free drops can be retriggered indefinitely, and like other top online slots, continue until they run out or the maximum win limit has been reached. 

Avalanche Feature 

Whenever winning combinations are created in the Zulu Gold base and bonus rounds, they activate the Avalanche Feature. After paying out, these symbols are removed from the grid and new ones fall from above. An additional row is also added to the top of the grid, providing more winning combinations. 

The Zulu Gold grid can expand to a maximum of eight rows through successive Avalanche Features. A fully-expanded grid features 242,144 ways to win. 

In the base game, the expanded grid returns to its normal size at the end of a non-winning spin. However, in free spins, it retains its current size until a win expands it further or the bonus ends. 

Big Symbols 

Like other Gold series slots at our online casino, Zulu Gold has a Big Symbols mechanic that can land random symbols with a larger footprint. 2x2 symbols are called Super Symbols, while 3x3 and 4x4 symbols are called Mega and Epic respectively. 

These symbols can land on any spin, including free drops, and increase the likelihood of forming winning combinations. As they land, they crush smaller symbols below and fill any empty spaces with an identical standard symbol. 

Wild Symbols 

Zulu Gold has three types of wild symbols that can land during the base and bonus rounds, substituting standard symbols to create or develop winning formations. In addition, Wild Walker symbols move around the grid after every avalanche, leaving a tail of wild symbols behind them. 

Charged Wild symbols, meanwhile, stay on the grid until they die. They lose a life every time they form part of a winning combination. 

Zulu Stacks 

Standard payout symbols and regular wilds can land on the grid in the form of Zulu Stacks. These single symbols represent two or more matches, increasing the potential for a winning formation.
