Mighty Kong Slots

King Kong is one of those movie franchises that we consider a guilty pleasure. Sure, it’s all based around the same concept, but we can’t help ourselves. So when we heard Pragmatic Play made a slot based around the iconic gorilla, we knew we had to try it out. And, boy, we’re glad we did! With cool graphics and fun special features, this game will be a satisfying experience for any player. Are you ready to track down and capture the world’s largest ape?

Gameplay

We expected to find ourselves smack-dab in the middle of some city. But instead, for the vast majority of your gameplay, the background will be that of a jungle. And while we don’t see much of it, it’s a really immersive experience. The sheer height and thickness of trees makes it nigh impossible to see the sky above. The brush makes it very difficult to navigate. And nearby, there’s a flowing waterfall with buttery smooth animations which makes this release look gorgeous!

You play Mighty Kong on a 5x4 board with 50 fixed paylines, which pay left to right only. The slot doesn’t have that many special features available. There’s an expanding Wild, which only expands if it will create a win. You can also make use of a free spins bonus, with four different mixtures of extra turns and multipliers. You pick one of those four free spins rounds, and then reap the rewards! Nothing unique or complex, but still very satisfying. Both for amusement and for your pockets!

Mighty Kong Slots Real Money

As always, Pragmatic Play remains one of the best developers when it comes to cool user interfaces. We don’t know of any other developer who can get away with putting their logo as the Spin symbol! One of the things we like most is how setting your bet is handled. If you want, you can just spam click one button until you get to the stake you’re satisfied with. Alternatively, you can fine-tune it using coins per payline and coin value. No matter which option you go with, you’ll be able to bet between GBP 0.50 and GBP 250 on each spin. A bit steep for casual gamblers, but a great betting spread for everyone else!

The game has a high variance, which can be a bit difficult to play at times. But if you can manage to slog through the boring bits, you’ll have a chance to win 8000x your total stake! Of course, to do so you would have to get a full screen win of the most valuable icon. Furthermore, you’d have to do it while free spins with an 8x multiplier are active! Fortunately, the RTP is in your favour. It currently sits at 96.64%, which is more than the industry average of 96%.

Bonus Rounds

If a Wild appears on the third reel, it has a chance of creating an expanding Wild. This only occurs if the Wild’s expansion would lead to a win that otherwise would not occur.

Find three or more Scatters to win one of four different free spins bonuses. Which one you get is entirely up to you, as Pragmatic Play’s release allows you to pick your favourite. The four available options are:

• 40 free spins with a 1x multiplier

• 13 free spins with a 3x multiplier

• 8 free spins with a 5x multiplier

• 5 free spins with a 8x multiplier

This allows you to choose how volatile you want the special feature to be, which we quite like.

Summary

Mighty Kong has some cool graphics, mostly owing to interesting symbol design and the background image. But visuals are only one part, which pales compared to gameplay. And that’s a much more difficult question to answer! How much you enjoy it completely depends if you like playing high variance slots. If the answer is yes, you’ll probably have lots of fun chasing after this game’s awesome jackpot. But if you prefer more frequent, but smaller wins, it might not be the release for you.
