Super Stampede

Super Stampede Slot Review

An African sunset burns orange over the savanna, and a reel frame of lashed wooden poles and woven beadwork stands in the dry golden grass below it. Acacias sit small on the horizon, and four carved jackpot plaques run along the top against the sky. Super Stampede spends nearly all of its ambition on that one screen and the round behind it, and it’s the right call: this is a game built around a single moment rather than a spread of small ones.

Betsoft has done nothing startling with the savanna, but the artwork is lush and the construction is tidy, in the vein of sister titles like Carnival Rush and The Oil Barons. The numbers are a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, high volatility, and a maximum win per round of 10,000x your bet.

Base Game & Features

Super Stampede is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 243 ways to win. Wins pay left to right for adjacent symbol combinations, and the number of winning ways is calculated by multiplying the matching symbols on each consecutive reel from the left. Coinciding wins on different ways add together, and only the highest win per way counts.

It’s a standard ways setup, and it behaves like one. Royals fill the bottom of the paytable, animals sit above them, and the elephant leads it by a distance: its five-of-a-kind pays twice what the lion or cheetah manage.

The symbol values below are shown at a bet of 2.00, the stake the prize ladder is quoted against.

• Elephant – 8.00, 16.00 and 80.00 for three, four and five
• Lion / Cheetah – 4.00, 8.00 and 40.00
• Zebra / Giraffe – 2.00, 4.00 and 12.00
• Meerkat / Tortoise – 0.80, 2.00 and 4.00
• A – 0.80, 1.60 and 3.20
• K / Q – 0.80, 1.20 and 2.40
• J / 10 – 0.16 for two, then 0.40, 0.80 and 1.60

Payouts are dynamic, so every figure in that list scales with the selected bet rather than sitting at fixed credits. The WILD symbol substitutes for all symbols except the BONUS and RESET symbols, and it only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. That’s its whole job here.

BONUS symbols are the ones to watch. Six or more of them scattered anywhere trigger the feature, and they carry cash prize values or one of the jackpot labels. They don’t pay anything in the base game itself, so a spin that lands five of them is worth nothing on its own.

Super Stampede Bonus Features

The HOLD & WIN FEATURE is the whole engine of this game. Six or more scattered BONUS symbols lock into place and award 3 respins. Every new BONUS or RESET symbol that lands anywhere on the reels also locks in and resets the respin count to three. The round ends when the respins run out or all 15 positions are filled, at which point every locked prize pays out.

Prize values on BONUS symbols range from 1.20 to 24.00 depending on the triggering bet. Alongside the cash values sit the jackpot symbols, which pay as follows at a bet of 2.00:

• MINI – 30.00 for each locked MINI symbol
• MINOR – 60.00 for each locked MINOR symbol
• MAJOR – 400.00 for each locked MAJOR symbol
• GRAND – 20,000.00, and it isn’t increased by the multiplier

The RESET Symbol

The RESET symbol is what makes this round different from a standard hold-and-win. It never appears in the base game. When it lands during the feature, every cash value on the locked BONUS symbols is collected, and the reels are cleared so new BONUS and RESET symbols can appear.

The multiplier starts at 1x and climbs by 1x with each RESET, up to a maximum of 5x, and it applies to all new BONUS symbols that arrive after it. A new RESET collects the previous RESET symbol’s accumulated value along with everything else on screen. So a single round can pay out several times over, each collection bigger than the last if the multiplier has moved.

Four RESET symbols is the cap, which limits the multiplier to its 5x maximum by design. Once a RESET has collected the visible values, it becomes a paying symbol itself, so it isn’t lost from the board when the reels clear.

Fill all 15 positions with BONUS symbols while a RESET symbol is locked and the multiplier sits at 5x, and the GRAND prize pays out. The multiplier doesn’t apply to the GRAND itself, so that figure is fixed rather than stackable.

Buy Bonus

The feature can be bought outright. The BUY BONUS costs 166.00, quoted at the same 2.00 bet as the prize ladder, and it buys the HOLD & WIN FEATURE with its 3 respins. There’s a single option at a single price, so the decision is binary: pay up front for a round that collects and re-collects, or wait for six scatters to do it for free.

A few round-level rules are worth knowing. The feature plays at the bet of the triggering spin, and payable symbols don’t appear during it, nor does the WILD.

The maximum win per round is 10,000x your bet, and when it’s reached the round ends immediately with any remaining features forfeited.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.1/10

Playing Super Stampede is mostly waiting under a very pretty sky. That’s the honest shape of it: long stretches of savanna scenery in the base game, and then a feature round that pays in waves, which is the one reason anybody would pick this over the next hold-and-win. The waiting is real, but the payoff has genuine second and third acts.

The strength is the collection loop. Because a round can pay out several times over with the multiplier climbing each time, a good one builds rather than tallies, and that’s rare in this format. The weakness is everything outside it: the base game has almost nothing to do, with no features worth the name between triggers, and a paytable that leans entirely on the elephant.

This one suits patient players who like a single big moment and don’t need entertaining on the way to it. Anyone after a busy base game or frequent small features will find the savanna quiet. For the rest, the light is lovely and the herds do eventually arrive, and when they arrive properly.
