Game Overview

Hollywood and its ever-expanding collection of movies often inspire online slot developers in creating their slot games, and one larger-than-life character that’s hit the reels on more than one occasion is the legendary King Kong. The latest studio to take this cinematic hero/villain, depending on how you portray the lovable beast, is Inspired Gaming in their release, Kong Wonder Wilds. As for its stats, we’re presented with a 6-reel slot featuring 25 paylines, an RTP of 94.50%, and a maximum win of 5,000x the bet.

Let’s give you a quick summary of the features. First of all, Inspired has included mystery symbols in Kong Wonder Wilds, with these transforming into the same randomly chosen symbol from the paytable when they appear. Then, we have a gamble feature, which allows players to spin on the pie gamble wheel to either increase their current winnings or attempt to trigger the bonus feature. Speaking of which, if you want to activate this organically, you’ll need to land any six of the three different wild symbols that are in play, which initially awards a respin bonus where you can rack up more sticky wilds before finally getting one or more money spins, where you have the potential to win big.

Enough with the chest-beating already. Rather than doing your best impressions of Kong, why not see if you can use his wilds to bring in the wins? How do you do this? Well, courtesy of our free Kong Wonder Wilds demo slot, of course. It’s available to try below.

Kong Wonder Wilds Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Whilst multiple developers in the past have used Almighty Kong as the main theme for their slots, one studio has dominated the niche in recent years, with some exquisite titles being added to their portfolio. If you’re still scratching your head as to who I’m referring to, the provider is Blueprint Gaming, and the good news is we have all of the free slots I’m talking about for you to go and try out. Don’t worry, though; I won’t leave you hanging on the best titles to play, so I’d recommend you head on over to our King Kong Cash slot demo to start, but the pick of the bunch is probably the Return of Kong Megaways, which comes with up to 117,649 paylines and a maximum win of 50,000x bet. Those are some great titles to go and try out, but make sure you stick around to find out about all the features in Kong Wonder Wilds first, which we’ll now look at in more detail starting over at the pays section.

At the top of the paytable, we have the Wild symbol and Kong sharing the top spot with equal returns of 10x the bet for a six of a kind win. Next comes the Hippo and Snake with payouts of 6x, with the Parrot and Armadillo completing the premium section, sharing rewards of 4x for a full line of six. The lower pays are represented by the industry standard royals, and you’ll find the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack all returning 3x the bet if six hit across a payline.

Finally, in this part of our review, we end with the possible staking options you can choose from when playing Kong Wonder Wilds for real money. These begin at a very budget-friendly €0.10 a spin and max out at a whopping €400, although this amount is likely to be much lower at most online casinos.

Kong Wonder Wilds Slot Base Game

Inspired Gaming’s Kong Wonder Wilds slot game is played on a 6×4 reel configuration with 25 fixed paylines in play throughout the base game and bonus round. Wins are awarded when at least three matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first across an active way to win.

Mystery Symbol

The mystery symbol can land on any position within the playfield. When the reels come to a halt, all instances of the mystery will transform into the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable.

Wild Symbols

There are three different wild symbols that can appear whilst playing Kong Wonder Wilds, although some of the actions they perform are specific to the bonus round. They are as follows:

  • Standard Wild: Substitutes for all symbols. Appears on all reels during the base game and the Wild Win and Spin bonus.
  • Power Wild: Substitutes for all symbols. Appears on reels 1, 2, 5 and 6 in the base game and all reels in the collector phase of a Wild Win and Spin bonus that has X Power activated.
  • Spin Power Wild: Substitutes for all symbols. Appears on reels 1, 2, 5 and 6 in the base game and all reels in the collector phase of a Wild Win and Spin bonus that has Spin Power activated

Pie Gamble

Players can choose to have the gamble option switched off, active for wins of 5x and over, or active for all wins. If this aspect of the game is in play, when the designated win value has been reached, you can gamble the amount of two pie wheels. The left pie wheel lets you gamble for more cash, whilst the right pie wheel gives you a shot at triggering the bonus round.

Kong Wonder Wilds Slot Bonus Features

Landing six or more wild symbols of any kind in view during the base game will trigger the main bonus, and three respins will initially be awarded.

Free Spins

All triggering wilds will become sticky, and the respins will begin, giving you a chance to land more sticky wilds. Each time a new wild lands in view, the respin count will be reset to three. If a Power Wild triggered the bonus or lands during the respins, it will have a value of up to 10x attached to it, whilst any Spin Power wild symbols that land will add one free spin to the current count.

Once all respins have been played, the number of free spins you have collected will be awarded, all sticky wilds will remain in place, and the rest of the reel positions will spin and become populated with paytable symbols. Of course, here you are hoping for premium symbols to fill the gaps so that a big win can potentially be awarded.

Pros

  • Two pie gambles where more cash and a bonus can be won.
  • Sticky wilds are always heaps of fun.

Cons

  • Low RTP for an online slot.

Kong Wonder Wilds Slot Review Final Thoughts

Kong Wonder Wilds is very similar to a previous slot we reviewed here at Demoslot from Inspired Gaming titled Wild Party Jokers, which only scored a measly 5 out of 10.However, Kong Wonder Wilds does slightly improve on the concept of that game with more wilds in play, especially ones with multipliers, so whilst it might not be the greatest online slot out there, it does offer some short-term entertainment.
