9k kong in vegas slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

King Kong is a fictional giant monster that resembles an enormous gorilla, but the history of this character is far more interesting than you may expect! One of the story's most fascinating parts revolves around the character's intellectual property rights, which resulted in a famous legal case whereby Universal sued Nintendo over their Donkey Kong video game. Universal claimed that Nintendo infringed on their copyright, as Donkey Kong was a blatant copy of King Kong. However, it later turned out in the ensuing court case that Universal did not own the rights to King Kong anyway, and the entire case was thrown out, much to the amusement of the media at the time. Because the copyright to Kong is well established as being in the public domain, you will find him featured in all kinds of popular culture – take a look at Gorilla Madness for another example.

4ThePlayer’s games usually excel when it comes to their paytables, but as always, when a game has a huge number of payways, you cannot expect it also to have huge numbers on the paytable. The highest paying symbol in this game is, of course, Kong himself, and he has a return of 4.5x your bet for each completed payway of five-of-a-kind. The wild symbol has the same return of 4.5x, which is a tad disappointing – it’s nice when the wilds have at least a small premium over the top regular symbol – but I guess you can’t have everything! A huge Elvis-like lizard character is next, paying 3.5x your bet for all five symbols, followed by a flamingo holding a microphone with a return of 3x for each complete pay way. A rack of bananas will net you 2.5x, as will a cocktail, whilst a pair of dice or stack of casino chips will add 1.5x your bet to your balance. The four lower paying symbols are represented by playing card suits, with the spades and hearts paying a small premium over the diamonds and clubs.

The betting range seems a little unusual to me – the lowest you can play at is €0.40 per spin, but the next few steps after this are €0.50, €0.70, and €1.00. I can’t help but wonder why €0.40 was chosen for the lowest permitted bet. At the other end of the scale, high rollers can play at €70.00 per spin if they wish. Note that the Xtra Bet option increases the minimum/maximum bets to €0.60 and €105.00, respectively.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game is relatively straightforward for a 4ThePlayer game; there aren’t many modifiers to discuss, but the screen is still filled with buttons and options – it could even be said to look a little cluttered on smaller screens. The playfield has five reels and four rows, for a total of 1,024 payways, and any three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left will award a win.
