Samba, a slot machine created by Nuworks, is designed based on a theme which is inspired by the dance with the same name, one of the most popular in the world. The game looks like it shows off not just the dance, but also the carnivals that take place in Brazil to showcase it. Even the playing cards are dancing in this game, which I would recommend to anyone that loves to move to the rhythm of the music.
Players that love dancing and want an appropriately themed slot will find in Samba a game which also gives them free spins, multipliers as high as 10x, scatters and two different wilds. The best prize awarded is $5,000.
Features of Samba!
Check out the list of features in Samba, and you’re going to find that it offers two types of wilds, multipliers, scatters and free spins.
The two wilds that the game has in store for you are represented by the dancers dressed in Silver and Green costumes. While the Silver Dancer is reserved for the reels 2 to 5, the Green Dancer appears only on reel 1. Both wilds can substitute for regular symbols. The Silver Dancer can’t replace a Green Dancer or a scatter. The Green Dancer can’t substitute for the scatter, but can take the place of a Silver Dancer if this results in a combo forming. If you have a combo formed out of one Green Dancer (1st reel) and four Silver Dancers (reels 2 to 5), then you get paid 5,000 coins.
The Drums are shown in the scatter icon, which also awards some very good prizes, as high as 500x the total bet. The advantage of this symbol is the ability it has to land on random reels and to give away prizes as long as there are enough Drums present.
Free Games Feature
With this feature, the player gets free spins, up to 50 of them. The requirement is for the Green Dancer to be on the 1st reel, while at the same time you have a Drums scatter on the 5th. You get the number of free spins from the wild, while the scatter shows you what multiplier will be used, the maximum being 10x.
If you happen to retrigger these free spins, you receive another 50 spins and the multiplier remains the same one for them.
Betting options and jackpots
You can wager $25 if you can afford it, but you can also modify it to a lower value if needed. You can do so either by using fewer coins (which will activate fewer lines), or by reducing the denomination from $1 to as little as $0.01 for each coin.
5,000 coins are part of the best payout that the slot will offer through the wild before any multipliers have a chance of getting involved. Their value would be $5,000. If the scatter does its best, the payout is even better, at 500x the bet or $12,500.
Design and symbols
The game has a Samba themed design obviously, with the symbols trying to be as related to the topic as possible. You have a couple of dancers among the symbols, there are drums, flowers, cocktails and necklaces, all of them things you would see during a carnival. The view of the ocean, as seen from Rio de Janeiro, the world’s samba capital, is used for the background picture behind the logo.
Symbols: Green Dancer (wild, 2 coins), Silver Dancer (wild, 5,000 coins), Drums (500x the bet, scatter), Man (1,000 coins), Flowers (500 coins), Cocktail (300 coins), Necklace (300 coins), Ace (150 coins), King (150 coins), Queen (125 coins), Jack (125 coins), Ten (100 coins) and Nine (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
In a game that gives away up to $12,500, and where you also have progressive jackpots, chances are that you’re going to find a reason to give it a shot even if you’re not a fan of Samba.
You will find Samba! at any online casino which chooses to use software from NuWorks, playable either for free or for real money.
