King Kong Slot Machine: Rules and General Information
King Kong is a slot machine with 5 reels and 20 paylines. To play, you first need to choose the number of lines to activate and then how many coins to bet per line (from 1 to 5). The game features Wild symbols, Stacked Wilds, Scatter wins, Free Spins, and 2 Bonus Games. The maximum win per line is 3,000 coins.
You win by aligning 3 or more matching symbols starting from the leftmost reel. Only the highest winning combination per active payline is considered. The theoretical Return to Player (RTP) is 95.50%.
Jungle Mode and Big City Mode
King Kong slot machine is unique in that the game is displayed in two different ways: Jungle Mode and City Mode, where the symbols change but the paytable remains the same. During Jungle Mode, 3 or more Wild symbols activate the Wild Jungle Respin Feature, while 3 or more Scatter symbols activate the Skull Island Bonus. Once the Skull Island Bonus ends, you enter Big City Mode, where three or more Wilds activate the Wild Kong Respin Feature and the same number of Scatters activate the City Tower Bonus.
Wild Jungle Respin & Wild Kong Respin
When 3 or more King Kong Wild symbols appear on the reels in Jungle mode, regardless of active lines, the Wild Jungle Respin mode is activated, consisting of 3 Free Spins. During this mode, each Wild symbol that appears on the reels remains locked, substituting for all other symbols except Scatters, to form the highest possible combination. The Skull Island Bonus Game cannot be activated during this mode. When 3 or more Wilds appear in City mode, you'll also get 3 Free Spins, but with the following features: the first will have reels 1 and 5 completely filled with Wilds, the second will have reels 2 and 4 filled with Wilds, and finally the last free spin will have reels 1, 3, and 5 covered with Wilds. In this case too, Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols.
The King Kong Slot Machine Scatter Symbol
The King Kong Scatter symbol serves 3 different functions: it generates wins when it appears on the reels, activates the Skull Island Bonus during Jungle Mode, and the City Tower Bonus during City Mode. 3 Scatter symbols, besides activating the bonus games, award a win equal to 5 times the total bet, 4 symbols pay 10 times the bet, and finally with 5 Scatters you'll receive a win equal to your bet multiplied by 100. Scatter symbols don't need to appear on an active payline.
The Skull Island Bonus
Collecting three or more Scatter symbols on the reels during Jungle Mode will activate the Skull Island Bonus Game. You'll find yourself facing a map of Skull Island with 13 marked locations. Click on the locations and discover which creature is hiding at that point on the island: when you've discovered 3 matching creatures, you'll win a prize. Each creature has a different value that corresponds to your bet multiplied by a certain number of times. With 3 King Kong symbols, you'll see your bet multiplied by 20 times. Once the Skull Island Bonus is finished, you'll see your winnings displayed on screen, after which you'll return to the traditional game but this time in City Mode.
The City Tower Bonus
Collecting 3 or more Scatter symbols during City Mode will activate the City Tower Bonus. During this bonus game, King Kong is at the top of a skyscraper, being attacked by planes trying to shoot him down. It's up to you to destroy them and win the prize, which consists of a bet multiplier (from 1 to 8 times). Once all 3 planes are shot down, the City Tower Bonus ends, you'll see your winnings on screen and return to the traditional game in Jungle mode.
