Game Overview
You have to keep your eye on those dastardly jungle animals – look away for a few seconds, and before you know it, they’ve sneaked off to join the empire! It won’t be long before they complete their new death star and make their demands. While waiting for judgement day to arrive, I guess we may as well check out the vital statistics of Booming Games latest online slot. The Jungle Empire is a 20 fixed payline machine featuring a 95.80% RTP and a top win of 1,450x your bet. Take the final number with a pinch of salt; Booming Games have not given a maximum jackpot anywhere I can see, so I am quoting the figure provided by a third-party source.
However, the feature set has been fully fleshed out inside the game, so we can be confident that there won’t be any mistakes here! The game features a “random bonus reel” in the base game, occasionally taking over the third reel before filling it with wilds, scatters, and high-paying symbols. The main bonus round is a variation on my favourite theme – the sticky wild free spins feature! Any wilds that land on reels one, two, four, or five become locked in place for the remainder of the feature, whilst the centre reel is boosted by an enhanced version of the random bonus reel.
Who doesn’t love a sticky wilds bonus round? If you answered “me” to that question, you have obviously never gotten lucky whilst playing the Dead or Alive games; therefore, I recommend you rectify that issue immediately and then return here to spin our free demo slot of Jungle Empire below!
The Jungle Empire Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I seriously doubt that anybody will ever follow the advice above, but if by some miracle you are here after scoring yourself a monster of a wild line on DoA2, I salute you! Hopefully, you got the jackpot of 111,111x your bet and are already booking your holiday in the Bahamas. For the remaining 99.99999% of you, I guess you don’t like Wild West-themed machines… which is probably why you are here looking at a game based around animals! This is another favourite amongst online slot creators – Microgaming published the excellent Jungle Fiesta just a few weeks back, and how about Amazon Island Megaways? Animal lovers are spoilt rotten in terms of choice – it doesn’t matter if you are a cat lover, dog lover, prefer big game, savannah creatures, or space-faring jungle serial killers, it’s all out there, just waiting for you to hit spin!
Ah, but there wouldn’t be much point in hitting spin if there wasn’t anything worthwhile waiting to be won, would there?! So let’s take a look – the top symbol in Jungle Empire is the wild, which has a value of 50x your total stake for each completed payline of five. Not to be outdone, the Gorilla is the highest-paying regular symbol, and he has a trick up his sleeve – he can also appear as a double symbol on the centre reel, making a six of a kind win possible! He’s worth 25x for five of a kind, or 37.5x on those lucky occasions where you catch all six. The tiger is worth 17.5x your bet for all five of those symbols, whilst the elephant is worth 15x and the lowly pelican 12.5x your bet for a complete payline. Oh, come on, the pelican didn’t deserve to be at the bottom of the list! Finally, we have the minor pays on the game represented by the three royal symbols A, K and Q. These can award from as little as 3x for a five of a kind hit up to a maximum of 5x.
A suitably wide betting range is available, starting at €0.20 for each spin and maxing out at €100.00 for those with larger bankrolls. There isn’t a vast number of steps available between these two extremes, however, but hopefully, you will be able to find a bet which suits you.
Base Game & Modifiers
The base game in Jungle Empire doesn’t hide many surprises. It’s a five-reel game with three rows per reel, the same shape and size as the overwhelming majority of other online slots. The game doesn’t win any points for originality when it comes to the paylines either – 20 fixed paylines is also a typical configuration for a 5×3 playfield.
Where the Jungle Empire slot excels is in its feature set, proving that you don’t need an enormous playfield with 100,000 payways to create a fun and exciting game.
Random Bonus Reel Modifier
Randomly at the start of any spin, you may see an ominous glow begin to form around the centre reel. This indicates that the random bonus reel has been activated, and all of the normal symbols which appear on the reel have now been replaced with a limited selection of desirable symbols.
During the base game, the random bonus reel can feature the double-gorilla symbol enabling a six of a kind win, wilds, 2x multiplier wilds, or scatter symbols.
When the free spins feature is active, the reel will instead contain the double-gorilla, 2x multiplier wild, and two special scatters that award either one or two additional free spins.
The Jungle Empire Slot Bonus Features
Scatter symbols appear on reels one, three, and five only, and you will need to hit all three of them simultaneously to win yourself a bonus round. The normal scatter symbols are removed whilst the feature is in play, but you can still add additional spins to your remaining counter by hitting the +1 or +2 spin scatter symbols on reel three.
Free Spins
Any wild symbols appearing on reels one, two, four, or five during free spins will become sticky immediately upon landing. The wild will then lock in place for the remainder of the bonus round, potentially allowing you to fill the entirety of four reels with stacks of wilds!
Wilds appearing on reel three do not become sticky, unfortunately, but you do at least get an enhanced version of the random bonus reel to temper your disappointment.
The Jungle Empire Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’m a sucker for games that feature sticky wilds, so Jungle Empire is right up my street! Of course, it is a shame that you don’t get any sticky wilds on the third reel, but I appreciate that it holds the key to winning additional free spins or completing other wild lines with the 2x multiplier wild.
I’m a little giddy about this one to be honest – the jackpot of 1,450x your bet that I have found specified on other sites is sure to be questioned, given that you could fill the majority of the screen with wilds during a particularly lucky bonus round!
I’ll be keeping an eye on YouTube over the coming months – I’m guessing that 1,450x is the maximum you can win from a single spin, and I suspect that we’ll be seeing more than a couple of multi-thousand X wins from Jungle Empire in the future, hopefully from myself!
