King Kong Cash Slot Review

King Kong Cash Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The King Kong Cash slot comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols across a payline. These need to appear on adjacent reels and from left to right. The only exceptions are the King Kong Cash and wild symbols as you only need 2 to get a win.

You can play King Kong Cash from 20p to £200 per spin. Click on the arrows to the left of the reels to select your stake. Alternatively, click on the amount, which will display all available stakes on a popup screen.

The King Kong Cash RTP is 95.79% which is just below the 96% online slots average. The variance is in the middle with a nice range of balanced payouts throughout the random features and main bonus features.

The max win is 1,000 x your total stake. This can be won from many of the bonus features on offer.

Theme – swing into action

The King Kong Cash slot has a light-hearted gorilla theme and is far from the inspiration of the game which is the King Kong film monster. With cartoon-style graphics, Blueprint Gaming has created a cracking looking title here.

Colourful and fun, it has a swinging soundtrack to match the madcap feel. You head into a dense jungle where you’ll encounter low-value A, K, Q and J royals as well as cartoon crocodiles, parrots, tigers and rhinos.

The highest paying symbol is the King Kong Cash logo. Land 5 of these on a payline and you’ll pocket a 25 x stake payout.

The barrel is the game’s wild and substitutes all symbols bar the Bonus scatter. Like the King Kong Cash logo symbol, 5 on a payline will pay 25 x your stake, which is quite generous.

Symbol	Payout
J	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.5 or 2.5 x stake
Q	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.5 or 2.5 x stake
K	3, 4 or 5 = 0.4, 2 or 5 x stake
A	3, 4 or 5 = 0.4, 2 or 5 x stake
Croc	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 3 or 10 x stake
Parrot	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 3 or 10 x stake
Rhino	3, 4 or 5 = 1, 4 or 15 x stake
Tiger	3, 4 or 5 = 1, 4 or 15 x stake
Logo	2, 3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 2, 5 or 25 x stake
Wild	Substitutes for all except scatter + pays up to 25x
Scatter	3+ triggers King Kong bonus

King Kong Cash Mobile

Produced using HTML5 technology, King Kong Cash can be played on mobile, tablet and desktop devices. The simple 5×3 reel layout works just as well on smartphones as it does on laptops and PCs.

King Kong Cash Bonus Features

When it comes to bonus features, there are 9 to benefit from in King Kong Cash. You have 4 randomly triggered base game features as well as 5 main bonus features. Strap in: you’re in for a wild ride.

Sleepy Kong Bonus features

To the side of the reels is a snoozing King Kong. He can wake from his slumber at random on any base game spin and in the process, deliver 1 a Sleepy Kong Bonus feature. With 4 to play, here’s what they entail:

• Banana Cannon Wilds feature: King Kong fires bananas from a cannon. These will land on the reels and turn a random selection of symbols into wilds.
• Golden Barrel Super Spin feature: Kong wakes and throws a barrel onto the middle of the reels. This barrel explodes and adds more barrels to the reels. After the explosions have finished, the barrels all morph into the same matching symbol and a new payout is made.
• King Kong Spin Streak feature: After a winning spin, Kong will whack the reels with a giant mallet. The successful symbols are held and a respin follows. These continue as long as a new matching symbol is added to the winning cluster.
• Bonus Boost feature: Kong adds extra barrel scatter symbols to the reels, making it that much more likely that you’ll trigger 1 of the main bonus features.

King Kong Bonus features

These bonus features are triggered by landing 3 of the Bonus symbol of King Kong himself anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Spin the wheel to decide which bonus feature you’ll play:

• Barrel Blast Bonus feature: Pick from the barrels. Find 3 the same to win that multiplier prize. Find 3 Golden Monkeys and you’ll advance to the Big Money Bonus feature.
• King Kong Trail Bonus feature: This is a cash trail bonus that’s modelled on a classic, Donkey Kong-style, platform game. Advance and collect prizes as you go. Land the Golden Monkey and you’ll go to the Big Money Bonus feature. Land a bomb and it’s game over.
• Empire Free Spins feature: The action here takes place on a new set of reels set against the top of the Empire State Building. With 10 free spins awarded, the aim here is to collect golden monkey symbols, advance through the free spin levels and win even bigger awards.
• Golden Kong Free Spins feature: 10 free spins are played on 5 reels and 40 paylines. This instantly doubles your winning potential per free spin. Once the free spins end, you’ll be awarded wild super spins where all your collected wilds are put into play. After each super spin, pick a barrel. Find the golden donkey and you’ll spin again. A bomb ends the feature.
• Big Monkey Bonus feature: Spin the barrels to win up to 500 x your total stake. You then pick a banana that will end the feature or give you another spin. Carry on picking until you reveal a bomb. You can win up to 1,000 x your total stake.

The bonus features listed above offer increasing average payouts. If you don’t like the feature you’ve been awarded, you can gamble and try to win a better bonus feature. If you lose, you’ll still get a Mystery Cash consolation prize.

King Kong Cash Review Summary – simple formula still works well

The King Kong Cash slot has become something of an institution. Found in arcades around the UK, there’s plenty of entertainment in the form of the 9 bonus features. The base game features are triggered regularly which is good but they offer much smaller wins than the main extras.

The key to potentially big wins is from the Big Monkey Bonus feature. However, I found the best to be the Golden Kong Free Spins feature as playing with 40 paylines can give you 1,000 x stake wins on every free spin. However, the main bonus features will be harder to activate.

Design-wise, King Kong Cash is excellent. The images are superbly drawn and the rhythmical, drum-heavy soundtrack gives the game a nice tempo. Combine that with the range of extras and this favourite becomes a very playable game.

You should try the Return of Kong Megaways slot (also by Blueprint Gaming) which is just as fun and offers 50,000 x stake max wins. I suggest Congo Cash XL by Pragmatic Play for a similar theme or 9k Kong in Vegas by 4ThePlayer which offers 9,216 x bet max wins as well as repeated big wins in the base game and free spins.
