4 African Drums by 3 Oaks Gaming on 1xBet

Editorial team · 2026-11-10

4 African Drums is a 3 Oaks Gaming slot released in November 2025. It runs on a 5x3 reel set and builds its play around four Drum Metres. Each metre fills with matching Diamond symbols to unlock a bonus feature.

What the Base Game Sets Up

The developer describes the theme as a safari quest across untamed savannah. Beyond presentation, the base game feeds a Hold & Win bonus. Drum Metres fill as their matching Diamond bonus symbols land.

A fill activates the Hold & Win bonus. Diamonds can carry Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot values. Filling the whole board may also award the Grand Jackpot prize.

The Master Drum adds unpredictability. In the base game it can trigger any feature, or all three at once. That single symbol links the base reels to the bonus engine.

3 Oaks Gaming Demo Format and Controls

The studio demo presents the same 5x3 layout. Players set a stake, spin, and watch the four Drum Metres fill beside the reels. Bonus symbols are collected during the Hold & Win phase rather than the base spin.

Once a Drum metre is full, its feature activates. The demo is the clearest way to see how each metre maps to its booster, because the studio page ties meter state to feature state.

How the Three Drum Boosters Work

Each activated Drum unlocks one special feature. The three documented boosters are Collect, Multi and Extra, and each changes the bonus round in a different way.

Collect gathers all symbol values already on the board into one payout.
Multi places multipliers on random empty cells; a repeat strike on the same cell adds +1.
Extra expands the grid by two rows and may copy a symbol from one extra row to the other.

Filling the expanded grid may award the Extra Grand Jackpot. So the Extra booster does not just add space; it opens a second route to a top-tier prize.

Drum Features and the Hold & Win Round

Diamonds tied to inactive metres can activate extra bonus features mid-round. That means a Hold & Win session can grow while it is already running, rather than staying fixed once started.

The Master Drum can also fire during respins. It releases up to three bonus symbols, and those symbols may carry jackpot values from Mini up to Grand.

Booster	Effect in the bonus round
Collect	Gathers all symbol values on the board
Multi	Adds multipliers to empty cells; repeat strikes add +1
Extra	Adds two rows; may duplicate a symbol across them

Jackpot Values and the Super Bonus

The developer specification lists a Grand Jackpot at x1000. Jackpot symbols can also carry Mini, Minor and Major values during the Hold & Win round.

Two paths lead to the Grand tier. Filling the standard bonus board may award it, and filling the expanded grid may award the Extra Grand Jackpot.

The Super Bonus Game changes the round further. It unlocks all three features, boosts symbol values, and guarantees the Master Drum strikes at least once, releasing only jackpot symbols.

Mode	Documented behaviour
Hold & Win	Diamonds fill Drum Metres; jackpot values can appear
Super Bonus	Unlocks all three features; symbol values boosted; Master Drum guaranteed

The Super Bonus is available in select markets through the Buy Bonus engine. Availability depends on the market, so the option may not appear for every player.

Access on 1xBet

On the 1xBet game profile, 4 African Drums appears under 3 Oaks Gaming. Regional access can differ by market and account, so confirm the game is listed before playing.

The developer specification is not the selected configuration of every 1xBet account. Features such as the Buy Bonus engine can vary by jurisdiction.
