Toss the boomerang and see if your stake comes back The final element is the sound while the spins generate some generic slot machine sounds, when you get a winning combination a snazzy bit of 80s music plays, another association with Australia. The Wild here is that most Australian of items: a boomerang!Īnd the Scatter symbol is a road sign with a kangaroo. However, if you visit the pay table you’ll find a more interesting road scene amid the Australian desert, with fern leaves scattered around the sides and a map of Australia at the centre. The backdrop to the game is a bright sky blue which doesn’t detract from the reels themselves. It’s difficult to take a country specific theme and deliver it in a way which isn’t naff and slightly ridiculous, but Merkur have somehow accompanied this with their own restrained take. However, we doubt there is a slot out there themed so specifically on Australian wildlife and featuring unlikely animals such as the Dingo, Emu or Duck Billed Platypus. Australian and even Kangaroo themes have been done before, with other titles such as Kangaroo Land from EGT and Outback Jack by Aristrocrat. The artwork here could easily be a children’s book or cartoon, making this simple but playful. This Australian theme is all about the wildlife, with symbols including a koala, a dingo, a duck billed platypus, an emu and of course, a kangaroo! While the format of this game is quite traditional, the styling is modern, cartoonish and fun. This 5 reel, 10 winning payline game offers a top prize of only 100x your stake but if you like your wins in regular small doses then this might be a good slot to choose. The format is very simple and traditional, coming from Merkur who are originally a land based slot machine provider, more recently adapting their games for online play. The theme is fun while somehow avoiding being tacky whereas a generic Australian theme might feature beers, BBQs and hats with dangling corks this one has gone just for the unique Australian wildlife, making it that little bit more tasteful in style. It does however have one of the best Wild features we’ve come across, which delivers regular wins to compensate. Kangaroo Island is a low budget Australian wildlife themed slot with some of the smallest prizes we’ve ever seen.
