Jungle Gorilla slot review (Pragmatic Play)

Jungle Gorilla Slot (Pragmatic Play): A jungle slot that’s smooth and easy to play

Sometimes you see slots where it takes quite some effort to figure out how it works. I’m talking about slots with many features, free spins and apotheosis.  

Other slots, on the contrary, are straightforward. The latter has its advantages, especially if you’re more interested in the wins and prefer not to overthink how to do so.  

Jungle Gorilla belongs to the 2nd category of slots.  

It’s simple, easy to understand and smooth. The theme appeals to many, as gorillas are super cool and hip animals. Anyone who prefers to see dwarf monkeys or baboons? 

By the way, isn’t it a coincidence that we have seen 2 other gorilla slots this year? Netent’s Gorilla Kingdom and Blueprint Gaming‘s Gorilla Gold Megaways. 

Anyway, back to Jungle Gorilla.  

On Jungle Gorilla, you can bag wins of up to 2.800x bet

Now don’t get me wrong: a win of over 2,000 times the bet is welcome anytime, but nowadays it falls a bit short.

Jungle Gorilla slot – Gameplay and Features

It’s a slot with 5 reels and 3 rows set-up. There are 20 paylines.  

The game takes place in the Jungle (what’s in the name), and apart from the Gorillas, you can spot Tigers, Elephants, Parrots and Green Chameleons. These are indeed the high-paying symbols. 

The low–paying symbols are the J, Q, K and A. 

The Wild symbol is easy to recognize, as it has the green letters “WILD”.  

And last but not least, will you see Golden Gorillas (a kind of a golden imprint of a gorilla. With this symbol, you create multipliers.   

Multipliers above the 5 reels

At the top of the 5 reels, you see multipliers. These all start with x1.   

If you spin a Golden Gorilla one of the reels, you note that the multiplier on the same reel increases by +1. It can happen to any of the reels.  

The multipliers are all capped to a maximum of x5, though.   

As soon as you spin a Wild, and the Wild is part of a winning combo, the Wild gets the multiplier that is “collected.” The multiplier is the one you see on the top of the reel.  

The beautiful thing is, it can happen with multiple reels at the same time. If, for example, you spin 3 Wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 (and these are part of a winning combo) and the multipliers above the reels are x5, x4 and x2, then your total multiplier is 40x (5x4x2=40). 

It can become incredibly lucrative with these multipliers! 

After the win, the multipliers of the reels where the Wilds appeared, are reset to x1. 

Payout percentage (RTP)

The RTP is 96.57%, so there is no reason to complain. Most Pragmatic Play slots have a payout rate of around 96.5%.    

Jungle Gorilla slot – the variance (volatility) is medium

According to Pragmatic Play, this online slot has medium variance (score is 3 out of 5).  

We expect most top wins to be around 500x the bet. In terms of variance, this slot is best compared to Hot to Burn, Ultra Burn and Pyramid King. 

You won’t bag the mega wins with this slot. 

Pros and Cons

Advantages: 

• Friendly theme and Gorillas are just spectacular wild animals. 
• Most suitable if you want to kick-off straight away without figuring out how the slot works. 
• The slot plays smooth and fast. 
• Some lovely wins are in the pipeline here, and the risk is limited. 

Disadvantages: 

• You won’t land any mind-blowing massive wins. 
• The slot is a bit monotonous.  
• The thrilling apotheosis is missing. It doesn’t help that there are no free spins. 
• Graphically it’s not bad, but it’s not great either. 

Who’ll like the slot? And who won’t?

It’s an easy-to-play slot and suits those players who seek straightforward slots. But in the end, there is only one feature (the multipliers above the reels). If you prefer variety, you won’t find it with Jungle Gorilla.
