Gorilla Mayhem (Pragmatic Play) Slot Demo & Review

Those of you who are regular players of slots featuring all of the weird and wonderful creatures from around the world are spoilt for choice in this niche, as game providers continue to create dozens of games a year with this theme. If you want to get better acquainted with what’s available to play, you can use our slot filter at the top of every page or head directly to our animal-themed slots section, where you have hundreds of titles to choose from. In the short term, and if you’re seeking slots specifically with a gorilla theme, I’d recommend Blueprint Gaming’s Gorilla Gold Megaways and Gorilla Riches from Realistic Games.

We’re making our way to the pays section next to find out what you can win on Gorilla Mayhem, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the Gorilla is the highest value symbol in the game with a return of 4x the bet for a five of a kind win. The Leopard and Alligator follow, sharing payouts of 3x, with the Hippo and Parrot next, both awarding 2.5x, before we reach the final premium paying symbol, the Snake, worth 1.5x for a complete line of five. That takes us down onto the lower pays, where we have an Ace paying 1.5x, the King and Queen at 1.2x, with Jack and Ten rounding out the paytable with equal payouts of 1x. The game also features a Wild symbol on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, which substitutes for all regular symbols.

Wrapping up this part of the review, we come to the staking selection on Gorilla Mayhem. Players can choose to start betting from as low as €0.20 a spin, with the max stake reaching up to €100.

Golden Gorilla Symbols

At random during the base game, golden gorilla symbols can appear on reels two, three, four and five. These substitute for the standard gorilla symbol but come with multipliers attached to them. One golden gorilla head in a symbol provides a 1x multiplier, while two offer a 2x multiplier, and three gorilla heads triple your wins. This multiplier will apply itself to all winning combinations featuring the gorilla symbol.

While the base game is active, you hope to see the appearance of the Green Crystal, which acts as the scatter symbol. If 3, 4, or 5 lands simultaneously, the bonus round will be triggered, and 10, 15, or 20 free spins will be awarded, respectively.

Free Spins Feature

During the free spins bonus, a progressive feature is in action. All gorilla and golden gorilla symbols that hit are collected into a meter, with every 40 hit increasing your level, as seen below.

• Level 1 – Golden gorilla symbols can randomly hit with multipliers of 1x, 2x or 3x.

• Level 2 – Golden gorilla symbols can hit with multipliers of 2x or 3x randomly. Achieving this level rewards you with three more free spins.

• Level 3 – Golden gorilla symbols can hit only with multipliers of 3x at random. Achieving this level rewards you with three more free spins.

After level three is reached, all remaining free spins and potential re-triggers are played at this level

Bonus Buy

On the left-hand side of the game’s reels, you will see a button giving you the chance to activate free spins. If you wish to skip the base game, you can utilise this feature at the cost of 80x the current bet.
