King Kong is a 5-reel-3-row video slot powered by NextGen. Offering 25 pay lines this great-looking game is an unofficial spin-off from the 2005 blockbuster movie, with a potentially lucrative Free Spins feature and some fun animations. Old movie cameras and planes, skulls and handcuffs, and the classic male and female heroes all feature on the reels. This is a medium-high variance slot, so will appeal to players with patience and nerve, who don’t mind some dry periods interspersed with the potential for significant wins.
Games
This slot is available to play across all types of devices, and spins start at just 25p. The top stake sits at £50 a spin. The infamous blonde lady from the original film is the key to big bucks in the base game – land 5 on a pay line and receive 7,500x your stake. But the main potential in this slot lies in the Free Spins, accessed via the King Kong Smash feature – when this goes well it can bring some monster pay outs. Tempting indeed.
Design
Unable to use real images from the 2005 film, this slot has adopted a more classic feel, drawing on King Kong imagery that has evolved across the 80+ years since the original movie hit the big screen in 1933. The graphics are obviously crisp and up to date, and the sweeping orchestral sound track breathes drama into every aspect of game play.
Bonuses and Features
Wild – represented by King Kong himself, and substitutes for all other symbols apart from the ScattersScatter – represented by the King Kong logo, and landing 3+ anywhere on the reels triggers the King Kong Smash featureKing Kong Smash feature – Kong climbs to the top of the Empire State Building, and players select planes for him to smash. Swipe his huge arm left and right – 3 misses ends the feature. The number of planes successfully smashed determines the number of Free Spins you win, during which all winnings are awarded a 2x Multiplier:
- 1 plane = 15 Free Spins
- 2 planes = 25 Free Spins
- 3 planes = 50 Free Spins
- 4 planes = 75 Free Spins
- 5 planes = 100 Free Spins
- 6 planes = 150 Free Spins
- Before Free Spins are played you have the option to select a mystery cash prize instead – probably not worth it if you secure 50+ Free Spins
King Kong Goes Ape Feature – triggered when the Wild lands anywhere on reel 3. Kong goes ape, turning the whole of reel 3 Wild, and can leave additional Wilds on reels 2 and 4 too.
