The football season is moving towards its closing stages now, and in England at least, the title race already appears to be pretty much over. No one really believes that Manchester City are going to peg back United, which leaves the issues of relegation and European places to be decided in the last couple of months of the season.

The end of the season leaves a bit of a void for anyone who loves the game, whether it is just spectating, or watching the game and betting on it, the one way of potentially filling that gap is football themed slots game like Soccer Safari.

Soccer Safari is certainly far removed from the drama of a Premier League season, being centred on a madcap bunch of animals playing a World Cup game in the African jungle, but in its own way it is just as exciting. The key aspect of the game is the quality of the video graphics, which really bring everything from the stadium to the animals – including lions, buffalo, rhinos and warthogs – to life.

This five reel slots game is also a clever mix of the international and the domestic, combining a World Cup idea that can appeal to football fans anywhere. The game provides comedic references for English fans to enjoy, with the elephant commentator resembling football legend Gary Lineker. In fact some fans may feel that the warthogs look a little like Arsene Wenger as well, but this is (probably) unintentional.

Furthermore, Soccer Safari also succeeds as a great video slots game, thanks to a quality bonus round – which requires you to try score goals from different positions to win prizes. The game offers you a real chance of winning money, with the maximum jackpot being an impressive $8000.

Even though you might not win that much by playing it, the presence of a wild symbol (the Soccer Safari logo), which you can substitute for others to give you a winning reel, means you should win something by spending an evening playing it.
