When a game contains free spins, wild symbols, symbol substitutions and more you know that you’re on to something that could potentially reward anyone with King Kong sized payouts. Playtech have made such features available to you in Jungle Giants slot. Let monstrous animals such as rhinos, elephants and a giant gorilla serve as the vessels to take players to a land of winnings, and potentially a jackpot amount to land you a bucket-list journey to the jungle everyone longs for.
Similar to Raging Rhino, the animations of the game are quite well crafted and reflect particularly well on mobile devices. Play is also available on tablet and desktop for Jungle Giants, a slot with a pay table consisting of 5 reels, 3 rows and 50 paylines. This title is themed around wild animals that could perhaps be found in a jungle, however there aren’t any panthers, tigers or the usual stereotypical jungle beasts. Here we have the largest of wild animals such as elephants, hippos and rhinos. The soundtrack, like most online slot titles, can grow old fairly quickly so don’t hesitate you make use of the mute button.
The wagering amounts start at £0.50 per spin, which is a little higher than the standard £0.10 – £0.20 you’d usually see. The most players can wager is £500.00, which most of us will find quite excessive, to say the least. The most you’ll be able to win is 1000x your stake, which is a decent amount. Should you combine that win with triggering a bonus round expect the payout to be even higher. While the RTP of 95.02% isn’t as high as what some games are putting out it’ll still help you over a gaming session, however it will require you to play a sensible strategy.
Let’s start with the symbol that will pay you out the most for landing 5 of a kind on the same spin. This is the wild symbol, and is distinguishable by having WILD written through the middle of the icon. Not only is the wild the highest paying symbol but it also substitutes all regular symbols to create a winning payline. The wild will not be able to substitute the scatter symbol, which is the game logo and also a jungle pass to free spins.
The regular symbols are a mix between wild animals and playing card symbols. The higher paying ones are the giants of the jungle, which include a buffalo, hippo, gorilla, rhino and elephant, with the latter carrying the highest value.
Players will notice that all the symbols can appear as one large icon that takes up the middle three rows. If you manage to land a giant symbol with reels 1 and 5 landing the same symbol then expect a jungle beast of a payout.
The usual way to trigger the free spins in most online slot titles is to land 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. In Jungle Giants you’ll still need the scatter symbol to trigger the round, but instead of landing 3 of the same symbol you’ll need to land 1 giant scatter. This will reward you with 8 free spins, while Playtech have added a couple of aspects to make the wins easier to come by. Firstly, all the low value playing card symbols are removed from the reels during the free spins. Players will also find reels 1 and 5 stacked for the duration of the feature with any of the animal symbols as well as the wild. Lastly, you can trigger the free spins as many times as possible, this includes during the free spins.
While there isn’t anything completely ground shaking about Jungle Giants online slot, Playtech have put together something that has all the traditional ingredients to help you get some thrills, and potentially wins to rival the size of the wild animals. The free spins feature is really where you’ll want to be spending most of your time. There could be a win lurking in the free spins to make you feel as powerful as a bull elephant.
