Savannah Pride turns Shield symbols into the centre of its Wild system, but activation depends on how much of a Shield is visible. A fully visible 1×3 Shield becomes a Warrior Wild; a partial one does nothing. The Princess Wild adds a second transformation rule by spreading through adjacent Shields. In Free Spins, a Princess remains on the reels and moves between spins, changing where that adjacency can matter.

Shield conditions and Wild expansion
The base game uses five reels, three rows and up to 20 lines. A 1×3 Shield may land partially or fully visible. Only a fully visible Shield transforms into a Warrior Wild, which substitutes for paying symbols and forms the highest winning combination on a line when part of a win. This visibility condition is a genuine limit: seeing a Shield is not by itself evidence that a Wild will activate.
The Princess Wild also substitutes for paying symbols and contributes to the highest line combination. Her additional role is spatial: she transforms Shields immediately adjacent horizontally or vertically into Warrior Wilds. Shields adjacent to those newly formed Warrior Wilds are transformed too. This second step makes the effect extend beyond the Princess’s immediate neighbours, though the supplied description does not say it repeats indefinitely.
Free Spins and the roaming Princess
Three, four or five scatters award eight, twelve or twenty Free Spins. At the start of the bonus, one Princess Wild is placed randomly on the reels and remains for the feature. She moves to a new position between spins, while additional Princess Wilds may also appear during the round. The movement means that the same Shield arrangement can have a different relationship to the Princess on a later spin. It does not guarantee a neighbouring Shield or a winning line.
Three, four or five scatters during Free Spins award another eight, twelve or twenty spins. Feature Buy is available for 60x stake and guarantees three or more scatters in a spin to trigger the bonus.
Configuration and trade-offs
The listed configuration is 95.74% RTP, numeric volatility 14.36 and a 3,425x maximum payout. The release date is 3 October 2024. Savannah Pride has a 5×3 layout and 20 maximum lines, with stakes from 0.10 to 50. Feature Buy is listed at 60x stake. Volatility is given only as a numeric index, without a verbal label. The page does not publish scatter or Shield probabilities, and it does not quantify how often the Princess’s adjacency effect produces line wins.
The rules make the crucial Shield distinction unusually concrete: a partial Shield stays inactive, while a full Shield becomes a substituting Warrior Wild. The Princess then offers a readable but position-dependent expansion, especially in Free Spins where she moves each turn. That dependence is also the limitation: the effect’s reach matters only when suitable Shields are nearby, and the page gives no rates for those arrangements. The buy option provides feature access at a stated price, but it cannot remove the uncertainty in the bonus result. Those boundaries remain explicit despite missing rates.
Strengths and weak points
Strengths
A full-versus-partial Shield rule gives the core Wild trigger a precise condition, while the Princess’s stated adjacency expansion adds a spatial interaction that moves through the bonus.
Weaknesses
Shield and scatter rates are undisclosed, and a roaming Princess only helps when nearby symbols align; the 60x buy guarantees entry rather than a useful result.
Our Editor’s View
Savannah Pride’s identity comes from the relationship between Shield visibility and Wild conversion. Full Shields become Warrior Wilds, partial ones remain inactive, and the Princess can transform neighbouring Shields plus one further adjacent layer. In Free Spins her position changes between spins, creating fresh opportunities without guaranteeing useful adjacency. The scatters and retriggers have clear awards, and the 60x purchase provides a defined route into the feature. Still, scatter, Shield and movement probabilities are absent, so neither bonus frequency nor the value of the roaming effect can be inferred. This suits players who enjoy spatial symbol interactions and accept that their practical frequency remains uncertain.
