No prizes for guessing what the unofficial basis for this new slot from Yggdrasil is. The name may be pluralised, and the animals may not have official names either, but there is a definite sense of Kipling to this game.Yggdrasil is a software developer which has been going from strength to strength in recent years, making a real impact on the online casino scene with their collection of excellent slots, and Jungle Books looks set to continue this trend.
About the slot
A five-reel slot with 58 or 68 paylines, Jungle Books takes you through five realms, for the bear, the boy, the panther, the snake, and the tiger (you can give them names yourself, you’ll probably have some ideas!) and the features and reel sets change depending on what realm you are in.Tropical fruits play the part of higher value symbols here, while the four playing card suits act as filler symbols for the lower values, although an effort has been made to ensure these fit in with the theme too.This is a good-looking slot, with a pleasant looking jungle scene in the background and a nice soundtrack.
Gameplay
The gameplay alters depending on the realm, with the bear, boy, and tiger, all playing out on a 33433 reel set, while the panther has a 43334 set with 68 paylines, and the snake also has 68 paylines, this time on a 34443 reel set.Features also differ between the reel sets, with the panther having extra wilds and a win multiplier of between 2x and 5x, the tiger realm offering a free re-spins after every winning combination, paylines in the snake realm paying out in both directions, with a 3x multiplier for all wins, and more.An exciting slot with a lot of variety, Jungle Books is Yggdrasil at their best.
