Jungle King Slot Machine
There’s 1,024 ways to line up winning combos across the 5 reels of Spade Gaming’s Jungle King video slot. With symbols arranged over 4 rows, you just need to land enough of the same type across adjacent reels from left to right to claim a prize, in this fun online casino slot machine that’s based on the famous jungle-dwelling, vine swinging character originally created by Edger Rice Burroughs.
While standard win-lines are created this way, there’s a host of extra features that can bring in further rewards, such as free spins and a pick a fruit side game with guaranteed prizes at the end. The Spade Gaming online slots range is known for good design and Jungle King is another example of the care and attention lavished on their games. While the background image of trees and sunlight streaming through them is very attractive, the cartoon style symbols are very well presented, with a cheeky monkey, an explorer, Jane and Tarzan all making an appearance.
Because there are no paylines, you can’t practice playing with just a line or two active, so Spade Gaming have provided free Jungle King video slots, although to play for real cash you only need a minimum stake of 0.80 per spin. The coin values can be raised from there and high rollers will be able to wager a generous 400.00, while other options include setting the reels spinning on Autoplay, or activating a fast-mode which gets to the results in less time.
Welcome to the Jungle
Stone-effect playing card symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A will award the lower-value prizes, and landing 5 of a kind will return between 40 and 100 coins, depending on which one you see across the reels. The unique character symbols are more interesting, because they look better and pay out the higher prizes.
Unlike the cards, which need to be on at least 3 reels from the left, these only need to land on reels 1 and 2 to be worth something and the monkey, or watermelon symbols are both valued at between 2 and 150 coins. An explorer in a traditional pith helmet, and the black panther are both worth between 5 and 500 coins, while the beautiful Jane returns wins ranging from 12 to 2,000.
Tarzan is a wild symbol who will land on all but the first reel, so isn’t able to make up a winning line on his own. But when this character swings into place, he’s able to substitute for others and complete a sequence of matching symbols.
Free Spins and Scatter Pays
A free spins bonus round is triggered by the scatter symbol, which is simply the word ‘Scatter’ in big stone-effect letters, so there’s no missing it. This icon works in the usual way, paying out multiples of the total stake per spin, not just the coin value, while also triggering a scatter payout when you see it in any 3 or more places.
There’s 2x the bet when 3 scatters land, the reward for 4 in view is equal to 8x and the top prize of 15x the bet is paid when any 5 or more scatter symbols are in view. The number of bonus spins depends on how many scatter symbols triggered them, so you get 8, 12, or 20 extra games, which can be retriggered if more scatters appear.
Those generous people at Spade Gaming like to make their online casino games with bonus rounds that are a little more rewarding and in this case, you will see either reel 2, 3, or 4 fully wild in each spin. This will hopefully lead to more win-lines being completed and with up to 20 extra games, it should be more than enough to get some prizes with no risk to your bankroll.
Let’s go Pick some Fruit
A big stone block with a carved animal on it acts as the trigger for a bonus side game when it stops on reels 1 and 5 at the same time. This takes place on a second screen, where you will see Tarzan standing next to a table that has 12 colourful boxes on it, and all that’s needed is a click on each box to reveal an item of fruit within it.
You keep clicking until 3 matching fruit are found and then get paid multiples of the total stake, with pears worth 2x, apples 12x, the watermelon is worth 18x the bet and the best result is when you find the bananas, which pay 25x the triggering stake.
Going Ape for Jungle King
Jungle King video slot is a game that looks good and has some potentially rewarding bonus features, with the pick a fruit game and its guarantee of a win, being a highlight. The extra wilds in the free spins game are a nice touch and the 1,024 Ways to Win format can make it easier to land a winning combo across the reels.
It’s mobile-optimised and fully certified for fair play and reliability by independent companies, so it’s a game you can trust to deliver a high return to players. If there’s anything about it that some players won’t like, it’s the 0.80 minimum stake, but the generous returns should on average, see most of each wager won back.
