Theme – go ape in Sin City

With a Las Vegas/King Kong theme, the 9k Kong in Vegas slot sees you go ape in Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the world. Set on the infamous Las Vegas strip, the 4.2 mile long stretch has been condensed to provide the backdrop to the game. Bright with lots of neon signs, you’ll see the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino behind the reels.

The soundtrack has a gentle Hawaiian feel unusually with a touch of jazz. On the reels, symbols are classic with clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades. Then you have casino chips, red dice, coconut rum cocktails, bananas, flamingos, dinosaurs and Kong. The Kong symbol is the best paying with 0.5, 2.5, 3 or 4.5 x your total bet awarded for 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Benefitting from detailed high value symbols, the flamingo is wearing a red rose, necklace and has a microphone. The dinosaur is dressed like Elvis Presley whilst Kong has a red croupier jacket on with a gold Dollar necklace around his neck.

Look out for the Kong Wild symbol which substitutes for every paying symbol mentioned in the above paragraph. The other symbol to watch out for is the Kong Free Spins Scatter which only appears on reels 1, 3 and 5. Here’s a table with all payouts and symbol functions:

With 4ThePlayer producing all slots using HTML5 technology, 9k Kong in Vegas is available to play on mobile, laptop, PC and tablet devices. Smartphone players can enjoy this slot on iOS, Android and Windows operated mobiles. However, you can opt between Classic or Big Reel Portrait Mode. The latter uses 60% of your mobile screen and sees the reels stacked for a better visual experience. Classic Mode occupies about 20% of your screen on the other hand.

9k Kong in Vegas Bonus Features

The 9k Kong in Vegas slot comes with 4 bonus features. Big wins of 10 x bet or higher can be repeated infinitely if you land on Repeat Win on the wheel. In the Free Spins feature, the highest win is saved and then applied to subsequent wins. After your free spins, you spin the wheel to win more free spins. The number of free spins is unlimited.

Big Win Repeater feature

When you win 10 x your total bet or higher, the Big Win Repeater feature is triggered. You then spin the wheel after every big win for a chance to win it again. The 2 potential results will give you a Repeat Win or Collect. Collect ends the feature but landing on Repeat Win will re-award your original win again. You carry on spinning the wheel until you land on Collect.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing the Kong Free Spins Scatter simultaneously on reels 1, 3 and 5 on a base game spin. 10 free spins are then awarded which take place at the base of The Strat Hotel, Casino and SkyPod.

Importantly, the Big Win Repeater feature is in play. The highest win achieved sees a helicopter fly across the reels and occupy the highest win panel. When you get another win, the highest win amount is added to your win.

If you achieve a bigger highest win, the highest win panel amount is changed accordingly. This is then paid out on subsequent wins. Once the free spins have finished, Kong climbs The Strat tower and sees you a spin a wheel. Here are the possible outcomes:

You get to spin the wheel every time you reach the end of your free spins. This continues until you land on Collect during the wheel spin.

Xtra Bet feature

There is an Xtra Bet feature which is enabled by pressing the Xtra Bet Chip to the right-hand side the reels. This feature boosts your chances of triggering the Free Spins feature to 150% during a base game spin. As a result, your bet will increase by 50% meaning the minimum and maximum bet changes from 40p-£70 to 60p-£105.

With the 96% RTP rate not affected, the Xtra Bet gives you an extra chance to spin the wheel. When you land on Collect during the feature, you will be able to spin the wheel again.

Buy feature

Finally, you can buy 1 of 2 features instantly via the Buy feature. Not available to UK players, your options will cost 50 and 85 x your total bet. Here’s what they entail:

9k Kong in Vegas Review Summary – spin the wheel for infinite free spins + big wins

The 9k Kong in Vegas slot has cleared been inspired by 4ThePlayer’s first game, 9K Yeti. Instead of the Himalayan ape-like creature, it uses a King Kong character in Las Vegas of all places. The previously released 7 Gold Gigablox slot by 4ThePlayer also sees you hit the strip for a flutter.

I really do like the Las Vegas theme which has been given a King Kong twist. The graphics and animations are excellent as always by 4ThePlayer. In terms of the gameplay, the Big Win Repeater feature gives you the chance to win again and again if you spin the wheel successfully.

However, it’s all about the Free Spins feature. The key is to land a big Highest Win which is added to subsequent wins. If you manage to spin the wheel to repeat the feature, you could play with lots and lots of free spins. You can also increase the Highest Win which helps.

With 1,024 ways to win, a screen full of the highest value Kong symbol will result in a 4,608 x bet max win (4.5 x bet times 1,024). If you repeat this win successfully, you will end up with the max 9,216 x bet win possible. For this, as mentioned, you need a big Highest Win.

Whilst the gameplay is simple, it’s innovative. It is similar in nature to the EchoSpins feature found in Hacksaw Gaming slots such as Itero and Break Bones. In summary, the 9k Kong in Vegas slot is well designed, entertaining and offers good win potential.
