Everyone's got a favourite animal, so it's no surprise animals are a hugely popular slot theme. Check out my animal slots review of 15 top games in this category - which ones are your favourites?

Top 15 animal slots

The Dog House Megaways

Just a year after the release of The Dog House original slot, the mutts make a comeback in Megaways format. The Dog House Megaways upgrades from 20 paylines to 117,649 ways to win thanks to the Megaways mechanism. Wilds can carry 2x and 3x multipliers here and in the free spins feature you get to choose whether those wilds are sticky or raining.

Fat Rabbit

Enjoy a relaxing visit to Fat Rabbit farm, with its carved wooden symbols, blocky hay bales, and 5x5, 50 payline setup. The farmer harvests wild carrots at random for additional substitution power, but it's that chunky white rabbit you need to watch. In the game's feature, any carrots that appear will be quickly munched by the wild rabbit, causing him to grow in size.

Buffalo Blitz

Dark and brooding six reel slot Buffalo Blitz might seem simple at first, but it's hiding a stampede of free spins. You only need two matching animal symbols on consecutive reels to trigger a win here, with the diamond symbol playing wild. Land at least three Free Games symbols anywhere at once to unlock up to 100 free games with up to 5x wild multipliers. The best part? Additional free games can be retriggered infinitely!

King of Cats

This unique slot lets you choose your wild type before you begin. Opt for the lion for 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 sized wilds with up to 16x multipliers. Or go for the puma for up to 3 reel height wilds with up to 4x multipliers on every spin. Each big cat flaunts its strengths in the free spins feature, with both bringing increased multipliers in their own unique ways.

Gorilla Gold Megaways

The first thing to notice about Gorilla Gold Megaways is that you're playing four different slots at the same time. With each set offering 117,649 ways to win, that's a total of 470,596 ways to win in play altogether. If at least four diamonds appear on any reel set at once, you'll win free spins or super spins at random. You'll start the feature with just one reel set, with each reaction pushing the win multiplier up by one. Collect golden gorillas to unlock the other three reel sets.

Space Donkey

This blippy retro style slot features a monkey pilot as he tries to combat an alien. Abduction wilds suck up symbols and chopper symbols fire in multiple directions, both resulting in increasing multipliers. Land three or four scatters to unlock the slot's mini games, Hide N Seek and Seek N Destroy, to see if the monkey makes it out alive.

Bling Kong

In Bling Kong, your goal is to help the cool monkey climb the high rise tower block. The higher he gets, the more you win. Each 'spin' is a game in its own right, releasing 10 blocks of assorted sizes that the monkey then climbs. You can then buy additional blocks for the chance to climb higher. This slot's mechanics remind me of Slingo Advance, but with a mini King Kong theme.

Silver Lion

Run with the majestic lion through daytime and nighttime in this 1,024 ways to win slot. Land three or more diamond scatter symbols to trigger up to 20 free games. The wild tree symbols are key to bigger wins during the feature, with each one carrying 2x or 3x multipliers. Appearing on reels 2, 3, and 4, they can boost your win by up to 27x.

Elephant King

The elephant really is the star of this slot show, appearing on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game. Spin the five reels and watch as the prize disk along the top rotates with cash prizes. Land the vibrant elephant symbol directly underneath one of those prizes to collect it. Collect a free spins symbol this way and you'll get elephants on every reel during the feature.

Wolf Run

Played with up to 40 paylines, Wolf Run by IGT is set in a wilderness of snow-capped mountains and evergreen forests. The focus is of course on the beautiful wolves, with the wolf howling at the moon serving as the game's wild symbol. The gameplay is simple here: land a Bonus scatter symbol on each of the centre three reels to unlock five free spins.

The Fortune Pig

Filled with eastern culture, The Fortune Pig slot is rich with gold coins, money trees, and the lucky pig. You'll find the wild pig stacked whenever it appears, helping you trigger wins along the game's 25 paylines. During the free spins feature, two reels will spin in sync for a better chance of winning, while the cash respins feature throws in even more money bags.

Desert Shark

This slot is quite the mashup: think Aladdin + Pirates of the Caribbean + Jaws… in the desert! It's a mad premise, but it actually works here. More than one gold shark on the reels triggers the Swim Swim feature, which can transform symbols immediately to the left into wilds or upgrade the wild's multiplier. This effect is enhanced during free spins, with only one gold shark needed to trigger the feature. Throw in some dynamite wilds to explode multipliers even further and boom, what a slot.

Great Rhino

Head to the African savanna in search of the Great Rhino and you won't be disappointed. Look out for the mighty beast appearing stacked on at least two reels. This triggers the respins feature, where your goal is to spin in as many rhinos as you can. Land 14 to unlock the Major Jackpot, or 15 for the Grand Jackpot. Reach the free spins feature and all rhinos are wild.

Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe 10

This undersea adventure builds on the original slot by expanding play to a massive 5x4 plus 5x12 double reel set. Winning symbols disappear with a pop and are replaced by more floating down from above. Full height wild stacks on the smaller reel set transfer to the corresponding position on the larger reel set. Find the pearls to unlock up to 20 free spins.

Snake Trio Bonus

This elaborately decorated slot starts off with 50 paylines, but expands to 100 if you trigger the right feature. Collect coins to unlock one or more of the three features: wild stacks, bonanza, multiplier. Trigger all three at once to unlock the Snake Trio Bonus for expanded reels, tripled wins, and a shot at one of the four jackpots.

Which animal are you?

Just about every animal you can think of has been immortalised in slot form, as you can see. Animal slots are many and varied, with features including massive multipliers, jackpots, Megaways, and some questionable themes (sharks in the desert??). Which of these 15 did you like the look of? Most of the animal slots on my list here are free to try, so give them a go and see which ones bring out the animal in you.
