If you liked the fictional world of Wakana in Black Panther or have been to the African continent and deeply appreciate its beauty, then Africa X Up is designed to impress. The beautiful slot game is set against a waterfall backdrop that plunges into a basin where a remote village is located.

Will the African plains and landscape be as friendly to you as the features in Africa X Up? That still remains to be seen. There is no debate about the exoticism of the game with the symbols, the sprawling plains, waterfalls, and the soundtrack going with it.
The design alone is intriguing enough for players to want to experiment with this African-themed game. Players will be glad to know that the details are also things to rave about. For starters, the RTP (return to player) is a nice 96.37%, which is above average.
The 5×3 reel offers 243 payways that can yield a max win of an amazing 30,000x your initial bet. If the designs and RTP weren’t enough to get you to give Africa X Up a chance, then that max win definitely will. The betting range is between 0,3 to 37,5. Yes, it’s a strange range, but with such high wins, we don’t question the game’s choices.

It will be tougher to reach the max win, but you get an average payout of around 50x your initial bet anyway, which is great. As many players suspect, the volatility is high in this game, which is completely understandable given the RTP and high wins.
Africa X Up Features
What does Africa X Up offer in features? It has a wild, like most other slot games, that can expand or substitute other symbols in the game. The wilds can also form combos and pay out directly like that as well. So, the wild W symbol is the one to go for in Africa X Up for consistent payouts.
There is also a basic scatter symbol, which can add to the multiplier counter on the left of the screen, or it can activate the free spins if you get three or more of them. You get 8 basic free spins, and they can be retriggered.
When you retrigger the free spins, you get 2 more tacked on plus the multipliers you have accumulated. What’s a bit strange about Africa X Up is all your accumulations will reset if you change your bet, so make sure you keep it consistent and choose the right amount from the get-go.
Verdict
It’s no surprise that Africa X Up is a very highly-rated game in our books. The specs are astounding with a very high max win - one of the highest we have seen in a while. The design leaves nothing to be desired and is very smooth. The soundtrack nicely balances out the sound effects, and the RTP is more than acceptable.

You get pretty regular 50x your bet payouts, but if we could change something, it would be the volatility and the choice to lay down different bets without undoing all the previously accumulated multipliers and free spins.
Even though the max win is so high in Africa X Up, the betting range is set quite low, which makes it a great game for everyday players.
