Evoplay heads on a safari adventure in Heart of Africa: Lion Way

Evoplay heads on a safari adventure in Heart of Africa: Lion Way news featured image

7th April 2026 – Evoplay has launched Heart of Africa: Lion Way, its latest feature-rich slot release that captures the spirit and magic of the wild, set in the sun-scorched savannah. 

Surrounded by sweeping desert landscapes, Heart of Africa: Lion Way follows the path of the king of the jungle, where powerful features and fixed jackpots combine.

Majestic animals roam the reels, including zebras, giraffes and elephants, but it is the Lion who takes centre stage through the game’s core mechanic, the Lion Way feature. Triggered when Lion symbols land consecutively from left to right, each Lion awards the value displayed, with players able to collect cash prizes or fixed jackpots, including Mini, Mega, Super and Grand.

Three distinct symbols shape gameplay, with the First Lion initiating winning chains, Money Lions carrying values of up to 15x the bet or jackpot prizes, and Golden Lions unlocking the Special Bonus Game.

The Special Bonus Game unfolds on a 3x3 grid with three spins, where only Money Lion symbols land and lock in place. Filling the grid entirely awards the Super jackpot, while all collected values combine to determine the Golden Lion’s final payout.

Wilds appear on reels two to four, substituting for all regular symbols except Scatters and Lions, helping to form winning combinations across both the base game and Free Spins.

Three or more Scatters trigger the Free Spins, awarding up to 20 spins. During the feature, Lions appear more frequently, while extra Free Spins can be retriggered with two or more Scatters.

During Free Spins, a random event may also activate, placing between two and six Lions across the reels to boost winning potential.

For players looking to jump straight into the action, a Bonus Buy option is available, offering direct access to 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: Heart of Africa: Lion Way captures the raw beauty and intensity of the savannah, combining striking visuals with a feature set that keeps players engaged from the first spin.

“The Lion Way mechanic introduces a fresh dynamic to the experience, giving players a clear path to rewards while maintaining the sense of unpredictability and excitement that defines the wild.”
