Slot Review: Bush Telegraph

When out in the wilderness of the African bush, the pounding of drums acts as a sort of telegraph between neighboring village, spreading news, gossip, and important information over long distances. The bush telegrams may be an innovative and effective way of keeping in touch, but we can’t attach similar praise to the Bush Telegram online slot machine by casino software giant Microgaming. Offering only a tiny jackpot, garish visuals, and a lack of replayability, we could not give this slot game much praise.

Bush Telegram is a five-reel, fifteen-payline online slot. Coin values range from two cents to one dollar, with max coins set at fifteen. This makes the max bet per spin fifteen dollars. You will need to wager the max coins on every spin to have a shot at the ten thousand coin (ten thousand dollars maximum), non-progressive jackpot.

Drum-playing toucans and other jungle-related symbols share the reels with huge, brightly-hued letters and numbers covered in a batik print. The wild bush symbol is wild, and can stand in for any other symbol in a winning combination. The seedpod is a scatter symbol. There is a simple, “guess the color” bonus game, which is activated with any win. You can guess red or black for a chance to double your winnings, or bypass the game to keep what you have. The Bongo Bonus game is activated when you land at least three Bongo Bonus symbols on the reels. Pick three drums, and win the accumulated bonus amount.
