Today is World Wildlife Day and we are looking at certain video slots that encapsulate the essence – i.e. animals that are nearly extinct and creatures living below water.
The ocean is a big focus for us all because as much as 40% is now heavily affected by the direct threat of over exploitation as well as pollution, climate change and loss of coastal habitats. Today’s World Wildlife Day is about life below water as they want to raise awareness of the importance marine species of our existence. Here’s 2 video slots which showcase the beauty of the ocean:
Tidal Riches
Powered by Novomatic, Tidal Riches is a 5 reel, 20 payline game that takes you on a deep-sea adventure – you will see pufferfish, pennant coral fish, turtles and dolphins on the reels. When you get a win, the number of paylines and reels increases as well as giving you win both ways payouts.
There’s a Free Games feature where you’ll benefit from 6 reels and 50 paylines as well as stacked, mega and colossal treasure chests for bigger wins. Finally, there’s a Hi Roller feature where you get 3 spins with Mega Wilds.
Great Blue Jackpot
Powered by Playtech, Great Blue Jackpot is a 5 reel, 25 payline game which focuses on the great blue whale – that whale is the wild which appears stacked and will double your outcome when part of a winning combination.

World Wildlife Day also looks at raising awareness for endangered species – we focus on the tiger and gorilla which are in the top 10 animals that need protecting the most:
Tiger Rush – Thunderkick
Powered by Thunderkick, Tiger Rush is a 5 reel, 10 payline game which takes you to a tropical rainforest. The tiger is the wild symbol and expands to cover the whole reel when it appears on the 3 central reels. It’s all about the Bonus Game feature which is played on a 25 payline reel set.

Visually superb, this simple game focuses on the Free Spins feature where a wild symbol is added to each reel for every free spin. This can lead to huge wins in this highly volatile offering.
Our final video slot is based on the Dodo which is officially extinct – this game should serve as a reminder that animals/species shouldn’t live on in stories, film and video slots and that we must protect what we have now before it’s too late:
Wild Dodo
Powered by Side City Studios and NextGen Gaming, Wild Dodo is a 5 reel, 20 payline video slot that takes you the homeland of the dodo – Mauritius.
