The first thing I thought about when I started testing the Animals Strike pokie was that I should take my socks off and enjoy the sand on the beach barefoot. I packed a sad when I realised that I was actually sitting in front of my computer.
The visuals are impressive as well as the soundtrack. The soothing sounds of bossa nova really helped me to get in a proper mood. Heck, I even made myself a tasty cocktail! You have to admit that the view behind the reels is amazing.
Honestly, I expected the beach to be crowded with people. However, there were only a few of them. Maybe they were a bit scared of all the animals appearing on the reels. Personally, I have nothing against rabbits and donkeys. Even bulls.
But, when I saw alligators, tigers, and lions, I did not feel comfortable at all. What is also interesting is that AvatarUX used dice for Bonus Scatters. I don’t know whether animals or people play dice in this bar. Low-value symbols are represented by playing cards.
I will not lie to you – it will take you a while before you understand how everything functions here. You begin with a 6×3 grid. Animals Strike pokie also comes with 3 additional rows. However, you need successive winning cascades to unlock rows 4 and 5. The 6th row only unlocks when you trigger free spins.
The slot pays left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel. You need to land matching symbols on at least 3 successive reels to win a payout. The betting range is quite wide and you can wager as low as $0.10 and as high as $300 per spin. This medium-volatility pokie offers a 10,000x max payout. Animals Strike RTP is 96.05%.

If you thought that this would be a relaxing day on a beach, you were wrong. With the Animals Strike pokie, every spin brings action. Each time the reels stop, the blocked reels can display certain upgrades, such as win multipliers and the High Symbol Upgrade feature.
Winning spins activate Cascading Reels and upgrades, unlocking additional reels in the process. When you land 3 Bonus Scatters, you trigger the Free Spins feature with increasing win multipliers. Also, you can gamble to get more free spins.
Each win triggers Cascading Reels. Now, on the 4th and 5th reel, you may land up to 4 upgrades on every spin. Each upgrade triggers in a specific order, after successive spin. Once there are no winning cascades, everything resets and you get new upgrades on the following spin.
When activated, the upgrade explodes and reveals additional cells. If you get 4 successive upgrades, you will play on a 5×4 grid. Upgrades may include win multipliers, which go up to 20x. If you get more win multipliers from different upgrades, all the multipliers are added together.
Among the upgrades, you can get the Symbol Upgrade feature. This means that 1-5 high-value symbols will be removed from the grid for the current spin and will not appear until the spin is over. For example, if the Symbols Upgrade feature excludes the rabbit, it will not appear until the spin is over.
When Bonus Scatters land on the reels, you trigger the Free Spins feature. You start with 6 free spins. If you decide to use the Gamble Wheel, the first gamble will get you 9 free spins. If you continue to gamble, you can get as much as 15 free spins.
You start with the 6th reel unlocked. In the Free Spins feature, you can benefit from up to 46,656 ways to win. Cascading Reels and the Grid Unlock feature are also active during free spins, as well as the Symbol Upgrade feature and the win multiplier.
The only difference is that, once you lock any high-value symbol, it will not appear on the grid until the feature ends. Also, the win multiplier does not reset after one free spin is over. It remains persistent and grows with each new multiplier added.
In free spins, upgrades can carry win multipliers higher than 20x. I triggered the feature several times. I gambled a couple of times and the most I got was 12 free spins. In most cases, I lost the gamble and lost all free spins. My best result included 12 free spins, a 26x win multiplier, and a 178x total win.
Here, you have several options. You can activate the Ante Bet to triple your chances of triggering free spins. The Loaded Up option gives you guaranteed upgrades on reels 4 and 5. You can buy the Gamble Wheel and gamble for free spins for 60x the bet.
The Free Spins feature with 6 free spins costs 60x the bet. If you want the Bonus Max option, with 15 free spins and persistent symbols upgrades and multipliers, you have to pay 500x the bet.
In the beginning, I could not completely understand what these animals were doing on the Brazilian beach.
I expected a peaceful afternoon in a beach bar when they started occupying the reels. Maybe they escaped from a local zoo, like the animals from Madagascar.
Joking aside, Animals Strike pokie is an interesting game that will attract a wide audience. It comes with decent features and might appear a bit complicated.
However, you will get the hang of it in no time at all. My favourite part is the Cascading Reels and the Grid Unlock. These two can help you land hefty payouts.
Animals Strike is one of the best pokies from Avatar UX I had the pleasure of playing. I rate Animals Strike 8.2.
