the Ultimate 5 Coming Soon From Pragmatic Play

Pragmatic Play has become best known in the slot game industry for releasing sharply designed, highly volatile slot games. We discovered another new title landing in their collection called The Ultimate 5. Let's find out whether this fits the usual parameters from Pragmatic Play and whether it's worth exploring in more detail.

What's the theme in The Ultimate 5?

Five is relevant here - in two ways. Firstly, it refers to The Big Five animals in Africa. Secondly, it refers to the big five jackpots (although not progressive) in the game itself. This is a nice way to tie to the theme.

Look for the tree to find the wild

No, it's not a riddle - simply an explanation of how to find a wild symbol to help you along the way. Look for the sun rising or setting (we're not sure which) behind the tree. This replaces most other icons you might see in the game, although it doesn't stand in for the free spin diamond icon or the money symbol.

It can replace the five animals on the reels, but only when doing so doesn't result in a five of a kind prize for one of those animals. So, if you want the five of a kind prize, you need to get five matching animals to do it.

The sun appears as the Money Symbol

We think it's the sun anyway, but it is a flaming ball of… flames! Each one appearing on the middle three reels carries a value, which could be a jackpot or a lesser value. There are potential respins and prizes involved with these. We think it is easier to find the game, load the demo, and to try it to find out how it works.

A more in-depth free spin game in The Ultimate 5

Rather than offering basic free games, you get eight, 10, or 12 spins whenever three, four, or five scatters appear. These contain random level up features, whereby one of the lower-valued icons is removed from the reels. You'll also receive a wild on that same spin.

These spins occur on different reels and give you the chance to look for overlay symbols as well. Yes, there are all kinds of features cropping up in this slot game.

Is it worth playing The Ultimate 5? We think so, if you're keen to play highly volatile slots. Pragmatic Play has become famous for those, but it could mean you potentially see a string of spins that pay out decent amounts. Of course, you could also go through a fallow period with no prizes.
