Return of Kong Megaways

That’s right, Kong is back! Blueprint Gaming have followed up the highly successful 2016 King Kong Cash online slot with Return of Kong Megaways slot, and this time he’s not monkeying about. Blueprint have incorporated their Megaways slots reel system giving you a giant gorilla sized 117,649 ways to win. Not only that but you’ll also find a host of bonus features including free spins, multipliers, random wilds and more. Can this title usurp the first installment as the new king of the jungle? Let’s take a closer look.

The intro video to the game gives a good indication of what you can expect from this gaming session – good graphics, fun animations and plenty of winning potential. The visuals are definitely an upgrade on the original, with clearer graphics and a much more interactive Kong. You’ll see him quite regularly, standing towards the top right of the reels. In case anyone missed the original, Kong isn’t depicted as the aggressive ape we know from movies but rather a laid back gorilla wearing a Hawaiian shirt. The reels lie in the middle of a jungle, and every now and then you’ll see Kong chucking certain objects into the reels.

Return of Kong online slot presents 117,649 ways to win with the Megaways reel system. Having this in play opens the door to so many more winning possibilities. Blueprint Gaming has set the maximum payout that players can receive at £250,000.00, which isn’t quite progressive jackpot territory but is still an amount that can change lives. To land this amount you’ll need to wager the maximum amount of £100.00 per spin. The wagering starts as low as £0.10, however wins will be fairly low wagering at this end of the spectrum. There is a RTP of 96.03% to keep losses to a minimum, while players have the option of wagering using desktop, mobile and tablet.

Feature Symbols

Blueprint haven’t overhauled the game too much from the original and this shows when taking a look at the symbols. There are the same animal characters that we saw in the first. These are the guys that make up the higher value symbols and are the parrot, tiger, rhino and Kong himself. The fabled gorilla is the highest paying of all the symbols and is the one you’ll want to land as much as possible. The lower paying symbols are your standard playing card royals – 10, J, Q, K and A.

There isn’t one symbol that acts as the scatter but rather 4 icons. You’ll be looking for symbols K, O, N and G, spelling out KONG.

Bonuses and Jackpots

Let’s continue where we left off in the symbols section. Should anyone land the scatters that spell out KONG you’ll have triggered 12 free spins. This isn’t a bad amount at all as far as free spins go. Unlike most other online slots there is the ability to add extra free spins during the feature. Each scatter that lands during the spins will add a further 5 free spins.

Return of Kong has what is known as cascading reels. This means that when symbols fall into the spaces winning combinations see the winning symbols explode, the remaining ones falling into their places and new symbols falling into the reels. This can keep happening for as long as the reels receive winning combinations. Every respin that results in a win will receive a multiplier +1.

Also look out for the Monkey Trophy during the free spins. If you manage to collect 3 of these trophies then you will have 2 extra spins added to the amount you already have. You’ll also have your 6 reels expanded to 7 reels, which is where you’ll be able to access the full 117,649 ways to win.

Once that 7th reel opens up the wins flow thick and fast, while the amount of extras added in the free spins also do their part in winning you behemoth prizes.
