Wild Jungle Slot – Free Demo

The logo is the wild and the temple is the Scatter

On the reels the Wild Jungle logo functions as the wild. It substitutes for everything except the Scatter, and it pays in its own right for 3, 4 and 5 of a kind. A wild in a line therefore does one job or the other on that line, never both, since the line settles on its highest single win. The Scatter is the full-height symbol that pays anywhere on the reels rather than left to right. It does not have to sit on a payline at all, and the count of them on the screen is what decides the Free Game.

You got your 5 reels and 40 fixed paylines that pay left to right, and only the highest win on each line is paid. Every line has to start on the leftmost reel, so a run of matching symbols that begins on reel 2 counts for nothing.

Scatter counts and the gorilla’s rocks

Wild Jungle is a straightforward game, and it's all about the Scatters, which have to land full-height to register. When 3, 4 or 5 of them land, the Free Game is granted. In the session the three triggers came on spins 80, 223 and 292, dealing 25, 15 and 10 spins in that order. You get 10, 15 or 25 free spins played at the bet of the triggering spin. Each of the three ran out at the number of spins it was dealt, with the stake held at 60.00 throughout.

There's also the Random Wild Feature. On one base spin at 60.00, with the balance at 99,445.00, it left two full-height logo wilds stacked on reel 3 and a panther pair lit on reels 1 and 2, the gorilla standing at the left of the grid, the top ticker naming one line at a time with Line 32 wins 22.50 credits while the win box totalled the spin at 337.50. The gorilla throws rocks that turn into one or more wilds, and it can occur on any base spin, with no declared frequency.

Minty’s Closing Thought: Three Free Games carried 32% of everything the session won, and the largest of them was the 25-spin round on spin 80 that paid 45 times the stake. Everything else came off a base game whose only moving part is the gorilla’s arm.

370 spins that never got back above the start

I have to admit, KA Gaming must have quite some nerve to release a jungle slot in 2022. They scarcely even bothered to alter the name. The studio also has Jungle on the site, and Three Little Pigs, which runs the same 40 fixed paylines. Not that I'm a designer or anything. But if this is not a threadbare theme, then what is.

It's certainly debatable from a viewpoint of novelty, even if the industry has a long history of "borrowing" from each other. With that said, over 370 spins at 60.00 credits a go the game returned 68.3% of what I put in, with the balance topping out at the 100,000.00 credits it started with. Of those 370 spins 122 paid something, 67 of them less than the stake, and the longest stretch with nothing at all ran 12 spins to spin 65. The Free Game arrived three times. The gaps between them ran 143 spins and then 69. It carried 32% of everything won, the best of them 25 spins for 45 times the stake.
