Elephant King MegaJackpots: IGT's Progressive Safari Slot

Elephant King MegaJackpots is IGT's African-safari take on the studio's well-known progressive jackpot series. It pairs a familiar five-reel grid with the MegaJackpots network, the same linked jackpot system that powers many of IGT's land-based and online titles. The result is a steady, approachable base game sitting underneath a progressive prize that can climb well beyond what the reels alone would ever pay.

The theme is straightforward: golden elephants, lions, leopards and other wildlife share the reels with playing-card symbols. There is nothing experimental about the presentation, but the artwork is clean and the safari setting suits the relaxed, medium-paced rhythm of the game.

How the Reels and Paylines Work

Elephant King MegaJackpots plays out on a 5x3 grid with 40 fixed paylines. Because the lines are fixed, every spin covers all 40 ways to win, so there is no adjusting line counts between spins. Wins are formed left to right across adjacent reels, following standard payline rules rather than any cluster or pay-anywhere mechanic.

The elephant acts as the top-paying regular symbol, in keeping with the game's name, and it also doubles as the bonus/scatter symbol that triggers the Prize Disk feature when it lands on reels 1, 3 and 5. A shield wild substitutes for the standard symbols to help complete combinations. The card ranks fill out the lower end of the paytable.

RTP and Volatility

The published return to player for Elephant King MegaJackpots is 96.02%, which is in line with the wider online slot market rather than below it. As with all progressive games, a small slice of each wager feeds the jackpot pool, but the headline RTP here remains competitive for a jackpot title.

Volatility is medium. That means wins arrive at a reasonable frequency and the swings are moderate, so sessions tend to feel balanced rather than feast-or-famine. It is a sensible pairing with a progressive overlay: you get enough regular returns to keep playing while the chance of the jackpot remains in the background.

The MegaJackpots Progressive

The defining feature is the MegaJackpots progressive, awarded through the network that IGT shares across its MegaJackpots games. Rather than triggering on a generic random event unrelated to the symbols, the jackpot is won via the game's Prize Disk feature: when an Elephant King scatter lands under the MegaJackpots segment of the rotating disk, the progressive prize is paid. The progressive seeds at $500,000 and grows as it is played, with no published upper limit before it is won.

Because the jackpot is delivered through the Prize Disk, it sits over the base game as a possibility whenever the bonus symbols land, which is the core appeal of the MegaJackpots format.

Bonus Round and Symbols

The main in-game feature is the Prize Disk, triggered when Elephant King bonus/scatter symbols land on reels 1, 3 and 5, below the rotating disk above the reels. The Prize Disk awards one of three outcomes depending on the segment a scatter lands under: an instant cash prize, a round of 10 free spins, or the MegaJackpots progressive. During the free spins, the animal symbol values are doubled, which is where the base game's bigger payouts tend to come from. The shield wild continues to substitute during the feature to help form wins.

Aside from the base-game top win of around 500x your stake on a single spin, the genuinely large payouts are reserved for the progressive jackpot itself. The everyday wins come from lining up the wildlife symbols across the 40 paylines, supported by the wild.

Playing on Mobile

Elephant King MegaJackpots is built in HTML5, so it runs directly in a mobile browser on iOS and Android without a separate download. The layout scales to phone and tablet screens, the spin and bet controls are touch-friendly, and the progressive and Prize Disk features behave exactly as they do on desktop. Nothing is stripped out on the smaller screen.

Try the Free Demo

You can spin the demo at the top of this page to see how the game behaves before committing real money. The practice mode uses the same 96.02% RTP, medium volatility and feature set as the real-money version, so it is a fair way to judge the pace and the Prize Disk feature. The progressive jackpot, however, can only be won in real-money play.
