Jungle Gold - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Explore the jungle for treasure in OnlyPlay's Jungle Gold. 3 or more of a kind starting anywhere on the single payline is enough to secure a win, so for example 3 of a kind on reels 3, 4 and 5 will pay. Wilds substitute all paying symbols except for the scatter. If a wild appears between two sets of two or more symbols, it can form a part of both wins. For example, if two blue gems appear on reels 1 and 2, the wild is on reel 3 and two green gems appear on reels 4 and 5, the player is awarded wins for 3 blue gems and 3 green gems. The game offers free spins, triggered by the scatter symbol.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The jungle theme may be one of the more common themes among video slots, but OnlyPlay have created some great visuals in this game. Shafts of sunlight beam through the lush green canopy and vines hang above the single row of reels. The reels themselves are surrounded with a thin frame of carved stone, with the gold-edged reels 6 and 7 wrapped in thick vines. These are cut away in a single swipe of a cutlass when the free spins bonus is triggered to reveal hidden symbols. 

The lower tier symbols are gems set into the same type of stone as the reels, while the toucan, frog and monkey symbols bring in the higher tier wins. The wild is symbolised by a black panther, while the scatter is a pair of cutlasses. The minimalistic soundtrack mixed with the sound of jungle creatures echoing in the distance creates an immersive atmosphere for this game.

Jungle Gold Free Spins Bonus feature

Land 3 cutlass scatters to trigger 10 free spins. Before the free spins round starts, reels 6 and 7 are unlocked, revealing two previously hidden symbols on them. If these symbols, when combined with the rest of the line instantly create a win, that win will be paid. The free spins are played automatically. The same rules apply for wins, in that 3 or more of the same symbol appear anywhere on consecutive reels, they'll trigger a win. If several wilds appear between two sets of 2 or more symbols, they will contribute to an extended win. For example, if two monkeys, two wilds and two toucans appear in that order on reels 2 to 7, the payout will be for 4 monkeys and 4 toucans.

Jungle Gold Review 

With its single payline that extends to 7 reels, double win wild and winning combinations that can start anywhere in the field, Jungle Gold has a similar feel to its Onlyplay free play slot stable mate, Myths of Bastet, except that it lacks the additional bonus games and purchase features of its sibling. 

Beneath the quirks of the payline, wilds and wins, Jungle Gold is still a traditional slot at heart, with wilds and a scatter triggering free spins. Although there was no confirmation from the developer whether free spins could be retriggered, scatters were present in the reels during our demo run, suggesting that they might. 

If you prefer the 5x3 format with free spins, then Playtech's Jungle Giants slot is worth a try, or alternatively browse our extensive catalogue of free slots.
