No prizes for working out that Kangaroo Island is an Australian themed slot. This five-reel, 10 payline game from Edict (Merkur Gaming) is about the simplest slot you are ever likely to play.
This is not a slot for those who like high octane, high risk, high reward gameplay, as the highest win here is 100 times your stake and none of the ways to win are particularly exciting. That being said, Kangaroo Island does have an exquisite Wild feature.
To look at
To be honest, if this game wasn’t called Kangaroo island, it would probably take a while to work out exactly what the images on the reels were.
This isn’t to say this slot looks bad, it is just that the design work is so outrageously simple that it is occasional hard to work out what each thing is supposed to be.
When you do work it out, it’s all pretty predictable, a kangaroo (obviously), a koala, a dingo, a duckbilled platypus, and more besides. That being said, credit where its due, there isn’t a cork hat or any other Aussie stereotype to be found.
To play
As stated previously, the features here are not going to blow your mind in any way whatsoever, except the wild symbol.
The Wild symbol here is the boomerang, and it does exactly what you’d expect a boomerang to do.
Anytime you land the Boomerang Wild, it flies and comes back, encompassing all neighbouring tiles and turning them wild.
This can happen with more than one Boomerang Wild at any one time as well, meaning that the top prize at Kangaroo Island may only be 100x your bet, but you have a strong chance of picking that up!
A simple slot but one with real charm and genuine care taking over its theme, Kangaroo Island is worth a look.
