Stampede Gold

Stampede Gold Overview

Stampede Gold is a safari slot from Betsoft and the sequel to its earlier hit Stampede. Betsoft lists it as live from 30 May 2024. The game has 5 reels and 4 rows with 1,024 ways to win, and it is built around multiplier wilds and a golden elephant that upgrades the animals during free spins.

According to Betsoft, the RTP is 96.62%, the volatility is high and the hit rate is 29.41%. SlotCatalog lists bets from 0.60 to 24 per spin. A maximum win has not been published.

Out on the Savanna

The reels stand in a carved wooden frame in the middle of the African savanna. Acacia trees and red rocks frame the scene, the sky is bright blue, and the gold-and-green “Stampede Gold” logo hangs in the top left corner. Wins are announced with big wooden numbers that fly across the reels.

The animals are painted in a realistic style: the elephant is the top symbol, followed by the cheetah and the eagle, then the zebra and the giraffe. The low symbols are the card ranks A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9, carved into the wood in red, blue, green and purple. Each animal sits on its own coloured tile, which makes the high symbols easy to spot at a glance, while the elephant stands out without a tile at all.

1,024 Ways to Win

The rules describe the game as a 5-reel, 4-row video slot with 1,024 ways to win. Way wins are paid for matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, so the position on each reel does not matter. The elephant pays from just two symbols.

Paytable

At a bet of 12, the paytable in our screenshot showed the elephant at 60, 50, 40 and 10 for five, four, three and two of a kind. The cheetah and the eagle paid 50, 40, 16 and 4, the zebra and the giraffe 30, 20, 8 and 2. A and K paid 28, 12 and 2, and Q paid 24, 8 and 1. So five elephants pay 5x the bet on a single way – and with 1,024 ways, several ways often pay at once.

Multiplier Wilds

The wild is a silver disc with the word “Wild”. According to Betsoft, each wild that lands turns into a random multiplier between 1x and 3x, and when several wilds join the same win, their multipliers are multiplied together. In one of our spins two wilds helped two elephants and paid 50.00, and in another two wilds on reels 2 and 3 linked elephants and letters for 154.00, almost 13 times the bet.

Free Spins

The scatter is a glowing sunburst. Three, four or five scatters anywhere on the reels start the free spins with 8, 15 or 20 spins, and scatters pay on their own as well – 16, 80 and 160 at a bet of 12. In our session three scatters paid 16.00 and a panel announced 8 free spins.

During the free spins, Betsoft says every wild is upgraded to a 2x or 3x multiplier, so the 1x result drops out, and the free spins can be retriggered.

The Golden Elephant

The golden elephant only appears in free spins. Each one is collected in a meter on the left of the reels, up to 15 in total, and every few elephants upgrade one of the other animals into the top-paying elephant. In our round, the meter already showed 4, a cheetah had been changed to an elephant, and the next target read: collect 3 to change all eagles to elephants. The more animals turn into elephants, the more ways they can fill.

Hit Rate and Volatility

A hit rate of 29.41% means that, on average, a little under one spin in three returns a win. Many of those wins are small – two elephants or three letters pay only a fraction of the bet – and the high volatility means the bigger payouts are saved for the moments when multiplier wilds line up or the free spins fill the reels with elephants. The scatters help a little along the way: at a bet of 12, five of them pay 160, which is more than 13 times the bet, before the free spins even start.

That shape suits a patient approach. A bankroll that covers a long run of small results gives the game time to reach the feature, where most of its potential lies.

Buy Feature

The Buy Feature starts the free spins directly with a randomly selected 3, 4 or 5 scatters. At a bet of 12 it cost 510.00, or 42.5 times the bet.

Bet Range and Controls

SlotCatalog lists bets from 0.60 to 24 per spin; our session ran at 12. The control bar along the bottom holds the menu, the sound switch and the info button on the left, the balance and the bet selector with minus and plus buttons in the middle, and the round spin button on the right. A small shopping-cart icon with the current price opens the Buy Feature, and the paytable, autoplay and options sit behind the menu in three tabs.

Who Will Enjoy It

Stampede Gold is aimed at players who like high-volatility slots with a clear bonus goal. The golden elephant gives the free spins a sense of progress – every collected elephant brings the next upgrade closer – and the multiplying wilds can turn an ordinary spin into a big one. Players who prefer steady, small wins may find the quiet stretches long.

Our Verdict

Stampede Gold is a worthy sequel. The multiplier wilds give the base game a real punch, and the golden elephant makes the free spins grow stronger as they go on. The volatility is high, so the wins come in bursts. The free demo above, served by Betsoft, lets you see the elephants at work before you play for real money.
