Game Overview
At times, in the online slot industry, it feels as though we are being bombarded with sequels, prequels, and long-running slot series, where providers have found a cash cow and are milking every last ounce out of it they can. I don’t suppose you can blame them, but it can become monotonous when they get past the 3rd game. Thankfully, today’s review is only the sequel to the Red Tiger slot named Primate King, and titled Primate King Megaways; we have a 6-reel game with up to 117,649 ways to win, an RTP of 95.70%, and a maximum win of 30,000x the bet.
Much like its predecessor, Primate King Megaways main feature comes courtesy of a full reel wild that can land on any spin and increase in value each time it’s part of a winning combo. This works in tandem with the collection meter at the side of the reels, which can be upgraded by collecting special coins in the base game. These modifiers give your full reel wild, extra lives, as well as eliminating lower paying symbols from the reels. Once the collection part of the game is maxed out, a 6th reel appears, allowing you to trigger the free spins bonus where your primate will remain locked throughout the bonus and may also randomly remove lower value symbols from the reels.
The jungle may seem a scary place to visit alone, but thanks to our Primate King Megaways demo slot, you can enjoy the thrills and spills of this game from the comfort of your own home. Give it a try; it’s free to play below.
Primate King Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Red Tiger is one of the more active slot providers within iGaming, generally releasing a couple of fresh new slots a month under their own brand. The majority of these titles are original games, but every now and then, we do see an upgrade on a previous game, such as Rainbow Jackpots Megaways, which was recently reviewed here at Demoslot, scoring a solid 8 out of 10, so go give that a look and a few spins when you’re done playing Primate King Megaways today.
As always, we’re checking in on the pays section next, and sitting at the top of the paytable is the Treasure Chest, valued at 20x the bet for a full line of five. The Skull comes next at 5x, with the Compass following at 2x, and the Map and Dagger completing the premium section with returns of 1.5x and 1.2x, respectively. Dropping onto the low pays, we have the standard royal symbols in play where the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, and Nine will pay 1x, 0.8x, 0.7x, 0.6x, 0.5x, and 0.4x, respectively, for a winning combination of six.
Wrapping up this part of our review, we end with the bet selection on Primate King Megaways, with players being able to spin from a minimum of €0.10 up to a maximum of €2. This seems to be a very low upper limit, and it could be the base that it is increased when you are playing from real money at an online casino.
Primate King Megaways Slot Base Game & Modifiers
Although Primate King Megaways is eventually played on a 6×7 reel set, the initial gameplay begins on one of 5×7, with the 6th reel needing to be unlocked, as I’ll talk about later. Once the full reel formation is in play, a total of 117,649 ways to win will be active. A payout will be awarded when at least three (two in the case of the treasure chest) matching symbols land on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost first. All winning combos trigger the cascading reels feature, which removes the symbols involved in the win from the playfield and then drops new ones down for additional chances to win.
Primate Wild
The Primate Wild is a Super Wild symbol which covers an entire reel and always lands in full view. One Primate Wild can land in a spin on reels 2, 3, 4, or 5. The wild holds a symbol multiplier of between x2 and x7, with the symbol multiplier representing how many symbols the super wild is being counted as in the ways calculation. If the Primate Wild does not participate in a win when it lands, it will lock on the reel until it forms a win. When the Primate Wild participates in a win, it is not destroyed. Instead, the symbol multiplier of the increases by 1.
Primate Wild
A Primate Evolution progress bar with 3 stages is placed over the 6th reel. Until the last stage of the progress bar is completed, the game is played on 5 reels.
When Gold Coin symbols land anywhere on the reels, they are collected and contribute to the Primate Evolution. Collect 30 Gold Coins to complete each stage of the progress bar and evolve the Priamte Wild. The rewards for completing each stage are as follows:
- Stage 1: Adds one additional Life Point to the Primate Wild. With each Life Point added, the Primate Wild stays for one spin longer on the reels after it forms a win.
- Stage 2: Adds one more Life Point to the Primate Wild. Additionally, on the next spin, the Primate Wild will destroy the symbol 9, which will no longer appear on the reels.
- Stage 3: Adds one more Life Point to the Primate Wild and unlocks the chance to enter free spins.
After the last stage of the progress bar is complete, the bar is removed and reveals the 6th reel, where only high paying symbols and Gold Coin symbols can land. Gold Coins no longer appear on the first 5 reels after the progress bar is complete. Instead, one Gold Coin symbol may land on the 6th.
Primate King Megaways Slot Bonus Features
Landing a Gold Coin symbol on the 6th reel when the Primate Wild is present awards 4 free spins, with one additional spin awarded for each remaining life that the Primate Wild has at the point of entering. The maximum number of free spins is 7 if the bonus is triggered when the Primate Wild still has 3 lives remaining.
Free Spins Feature
The Primate Wild remains locked on the reel for the duration of the bonus round. Additionally, at the start of each spin, the Primate King may randomly remove the current lowest paying symbol from the reels for the remaining spins until all low-paying symbols are removed
Pros
- An increased max win compared to the original which now maxes out at 30,000x the bet.
- Good potential in the base game to land something substantial.
Cons
- A reasonable sized bankroll is required to collect all the coins before the feature can be triggered.
- Below average RTP.
Primate King Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
Red Tiger is no stranger to collection-based slot games, with Zillard King and Dynamite Riches a couple of titles that immediately spring to mind, so there is definitely an interest in these types of games.Personally, they are not the sort of slots I'd bother with, as I always think you should be able to load up a game and hit the bonus from the very first spin, but I do appreciate they have a place in the market which is reflected in the score Primate King Megaways has been given.
