Special Features

The first feature to highlight is the Wild symbol and this is represented by an image of King Kong. Like most Wild symbols, the main function of this symbol is to substitute for other symbols except the Scatter to help form winning combinations. It is worth mentioning that this symbol only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4.

King Kong features 2 randomly triggered bonus features. The first one is Lightning Reels and when it is triggered, up to 15 high-value symbols will be added to the reels to really boost your chances of landing a big win. The second random feature is Kong’s Call and when this feature activates, up to 12 Wild symbols are added to reels 2, 3, and 4 to further enhance your chances of landing a big cash payout on the reels.

The Scatter symbol is illustrated by a lady in blue clothes and when you land 2 of these symbols on reels 1 and 5 then you will trigger the Free Games bonus game. In this feature, you are taken to a new set of statue reels where you get to spin to reveal the amount of Free Games you will be awarded. The reels can award up to 10 games each and these are then multiplied. The maximum amount of Free Games you can be awarded is set an incredible 100!

During the Free Games bonus feature, fully stacked Wilds will begin to appear on the reels and when they do, you will be given a Free Respin with the fully stacked Wilds remaining in place for the spin. The more stacked Wilds that appear in this feature then the more Respins are awarded.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The presentation of the game is second to none thanks to NextGen Gaming working with King Kong brand owner Joe DeVito. The graphics are highly detailed as the game takes place on the beast-roaming Skull Island. For instance, you will notice that the reels are made out of ancient temple rock. Symbols are superbly rendered on screen and consist of King Kong, a Lady in Blue, a T-Rex, a Triceratops, a Pterodactyl, a Snake, a Bug, and the usual A – 9 icons. The animations are stunning as symbols zip up and down the reels in frantic fashion and highlight with a beautiful gold-like effect when part of a winning combination on the reels.

The music is atmospheric and suspenseful. It ties in really well with the action-packed gameplay of the slot.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 50 paylines, a very good RTP of 96.7%, and an excellent maximum payout worth 12,500X your wager.

Our Verdict on King Kong Fury

NextGen Gaming produced this very enjoyable slot and to be honest, it is one of the best King Kong based slots that we've ever played. The game is visually stunning to look at, very easy to play and contains a slew of amazing bonus features to keep players entertained for countless hours. The random bonus events trigger quite frequently but took me some time to trigger the Free Games feature. However, it is definitely worth the wait as you can win up to 100 Free Games, claim plenty of Respins and the 2 random bonus features are present here as well to really boost your chances of landing a big win! I found this slot to be of Medium to High variance so it might take you quite a few spins before you land a decent enough payout on the reels. For slots with a similar ape theme, check out Epic Ape and Planet of the Apes.
