King Kong

The worlds most famous giant ape has smashed his way onto the slots at Cryptologic casinos. King Kong is a 25 line video slot with two bonus games including the chance to win up to 100 free games with unlimited re-triggers. As usual Cryptologic have done a first class job on the graphics and sounds.

King Kong has very wide betting limits with coin sizes ranging from 1c to $20. With a 25 coin maximum bet this means you can be playing max for as little as 25c or as much as a King Kong sized $500 per spin. Of course the bigger the coin size you play in the bigger the potential jackpots.

Speaking of jackpots, the top award on King Kong during normal play is 7500 coins. To win the jackpot you need to line up five Ann symbols. Second highest line win is 1500 coins for four Ann symbols and third highest line win is 1000 coins for five men.

The KIng Kong symbol is wild but only appears on the middle three reels so you cannot get five wilds. The King Kong symbol is the key to first of the two bonus games. Get a King Kong symbol anywhere on reel 3 and you activate the "King Kong Goes Ape" feature.

Once activated this feature pays all displayed line wins and then King Kong expands to take up all of reel 3. Additional wilds can then be added to both reels 2 and 4. Wins are then paid and the feature ends. The good thing about this feature is that it triggers very frequently.

The other great feature of this bonus is that if you get a five of a kind pay with the wild symbol on the middle reel you are guranteed to get that combination at least once more. In some cases you will get the win on multiple lines which means you can win some serious jackpots.

The King Kong logos are scattered but only pay when aligned left to right. Getting three or more activated the King Kong smash feature. It is also worth noting that five scatters awards the games second highest pay of 2500 coins. Once the bonus is won you move on to the second screen stage.

On this stage you are treated to an animated scene of King Kong on top of the Chrysler building (View Screenshot). Your aim is to smash planes by clicking either the Smash Right or Left buttons. You get to keep picking until you either win the maximum amount of free games or miss three times.

Each hit awards a free spin amount. Hits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 award 15, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 150 free spins respectively. Once you have reached the end of the bonus you have a choice of staying with the free spins or picking one of three mystery bonuses. We recommend going with the free games because if you re-trigger the bonus you get the same amount of free spins again.

During the free spins all wins are doubled so you are looking at a top prize of 15,000 coins. This can pay anywhere from $150 to $300,000 depending on the coin size you choose to play in. The King Kong Goes Ape feature cannot be won during the free spins.

Cryptologic have done a great job turning the KIng Kong theme into a video slot. The bonus games are well thought out and who can not be happy with the chance to win up to 150 free spins with unlimited re-triggers? This is a game that is sure to be popular for years to come.
