Ape King - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

RTG’s Ape King slot has an action-packed 5x3 reel structure with 11 standard paying symbols (6 card symbols, 5 ape symbols) plus a wild/scatter. The pot of coins and jewellery acts as the game’s scatter and wild and, appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, it pays out for 2 or 3 anywhere on the reels and stands in for other symbols on the reels to complete winning combinations. During the base game it subs for the top paying great ape, and during the free spins it subs for all symbols. It can also trigger the free spins game when 4 or more land. 

Ape King is just one of our RTG free slots, here at Slots Temple. You can enjoy the whole collection of slots completely free in demo mode so it’s the perfect opportunity to get to know the slots before playing for real cash at an online casino.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

There’s no doubt about the theme of this slot from RTG - the reels are dominated by great apes! The slot is set in a lush, green forest, with mist above the trees setting the atmosphere for the game. The reels are set within twisted branches and are full of stone effect card symbols plus a range of great apes including chimps, a baboon, orangutan and a great hug silverback gorilla who is, of course, the ‘Ape King’. There are some really nice animations with the apes moving when they form a win, and although there’s no musical soundtrack, the slot sound effects and jungle sounds enhance the theme and atmosphere of the game. 

If you enjoy the ape theme you might like to try out the Epic Ape slot. Epic Ape from Playtech has an RTP of 95.96% and features wilds and free spins.
