King Kong Cash Slot Review

About the Game

King Kong Cash is a 5-reel, 20-line slot from Blueprint Gaming that’s pure monkey mayhem. The game features five amazing features, including the BIG MON KEY, where you can win up to 1,000x your total bet—a blast!

Wild Symbol

The Wild(s) symbol can be used to form winning lines, substituting for other symbols. The Wild(s) symbol cannot substitute for Scatter or Bonus symbols. Only the highest win on each line is paid (for example, if there are 3 Wild symbols or if these symbols are combined with another symbol to form a 4-symbol win, only the highest win will be paid). Wild symbols include Banana Cannon Wilds, Empire Spin Roaming Wilds, and Standard Wilds.

Sleepy Kong

If Kong wakes up during any game, there’s a chance the Sleepy Kong bonus will activate. Kong will jump off his throne and grant one of the following options:

• Banana Cannon (Wilds) – While the reels are spinning, Kong jumps from his throne with a banana cannon and fires a sticky banana bomb into the center of the reel, which then explodes, turning additional positions into wilds. After processing wins, Kong will sometimes jump up and slam the ground, causing the reels to spin again, keeping all wilds in their positions.

• Golden Barrel Super Spin – While the reels are spinning, Kong awakens from his slumber and throws a golden barrel into the center of the reels. This causes an explosion above the reels, adding multiple golden barrels to the reels. After the reels land, all golden barrels in sight explode, revealing the same symbol.

• King Kong Spin Series – After the reels stop and display a winning combination, Kong may sometimes jump up from his throne and begin slamming the reels with a wooden mallet. This will cause the reels to spin again, keeping the trigger symbols in their positions. This will continue until the win is increased.
• Bonus Boost – Similar to the Golden Barrel Super Spin – Instead of adding multiple golden barrels to the reels, the explosion will add several additional bonus symbols to the reels. This significantly increases the chance of triggering the bonus on that spin.

Bonus Activation

The player enters the bonus game by landing 3 or more bonus symbols anywhere on the screen. This does not award a direct win, but only access to one of the bonus rounds. There are 5 unique bonuses in total, determined by the “King Kong” bonus. The player spins the wheel, which, after a spin, lands on one of the 5 features, revealing the awarded bonus.

Barrel Blast Bonus

The bonus is triggered by landing on the “Barrel Explosion” segment during the King Kong bonus game. After a short transition, a scene with several barrels and a winning scheme on the left will appear on the screen. The player selects the barrels to reveal an item. Each item corresponds to a total bet multiplier, which is paid for matching three identical items. Additionally, revealing a special icon increases the total bet multiplier, and collecting three golden monkeys earns the “King Kong Cash BIG MONKEY KEY” bonus.

King Kong Trail Bonus

After a brief screen transition, the player will be presented with an additional bonus screen, styled in a retro platformer. The bonus is divided into two stages: Stage 1 is a chain of multipliers leading to the King Kong Cash BIG MON KEY bonus (Stage 2). The player always starts in Stage 1 and must select barrels to progress along the chain, increasing the overall bet multiplier. Selecting barrels will reveal one of the following positive or negative outcomes:

If a player reaches the final stage of the King Kong Cash BIG MON KEY bonus game, Kong enters the final stage of the game with big cash prizes. Here, the player sees Kong in the center of the screen, surrounded by a carousel of barrels and bananas on the sides. The barrels spin and then stop, awarding a corresponding multiplier to the total bet. The player is then prompted to select a banana from any side of the carousel, which reveals either a Golden Monkey (which restarts the barrels and adds to the bonus win) or a Bomb, which ends the feature, awarding the player a total bet multiplier.

Empire Free Spins

The feature is triggered when the Empire Free Spins feature is triggered on the wheel during the King Kong bonus round.

The screen will change, transporting the player to a new location—the top of the Empire State Building, where several reels will be visible. The screen will start at the top, then pan down, revealing other reel sets and a side banner with information about the upgrade for that reel set. The player will then be shown the lower level. Here, the player will play their set of free spins on that reel set.

The goal of the free spins round is to collect Golden Monkeys, which randomly appear on the reel symbols. After collecting a certain number of Golden Monkeys, the player moves on to the next reel set. The higher the player’s level, the more powerful the upgrade provided. As the player moves up, additional spins are awarded.

Free spins continue until all spins are used, at which point the player is awarded the amount displayed in the bonus win. Additional free spins are awarded each time the player completes a level.

Golden Kong Free Spins

Triggered when the Golden Kong Free Spins segment is triggered during the King Kong bonus game.

Golden Kong Free Spins are played on a 5×4 reel layout with 40 paylines and a fixed number of free spins. After each spin, if special Wild symbols appear on the screen, the Wild Bank panel located on the right side of the screen expands by the corresponding number of Wild symbols. After the first round of free spins is completed, the player is awarded a series of Wild Spins. Wild Spins are played on the same set of reels, and during each spin, the accumulated number of Wild symbols is randomly placed on the reels. After completing a spin, the player is shown four barrels above the reels and asked to choose a barrel, which reveals either the Golden Donkey (the reels spin again, with Wild symbols shuffled into new positions) or the Bomb, which ends the bonus game.

Golden Kong Free Spins cannot be retriggered during the Golden Kong bonus spins. Additional spins may be awarded during the Wild Spins.

Feature Gamble

With each win in the bonus game, the player can either “CLAIM” the bonus or gamble and try to win one of the other bonuses (except the “BIG KEY” bonus).

After the initial bonus is awarded for spinning the wheel during the “King Kong” bonus, the player will be presented with a “Risk” screen displaying five bonuses, ranked from bottom to top, by average payout. The bonus the player has won will be indicated by the words “CLAIM” and “RISK” in the bonus panel in the center of the screen.

If the player gambles and wins, the bonus they bet on is collected, and all bonuses below it are cancelled. This continues until the player claims the bonus, reaches the top bonus (where it is awarded), or hits the “Mystery Win” segment during a wheel spin, where they are awarded a mystery winning prize (a mystery cash amount based on a multiplier of the player’s total bet).

Reel Wins

Line wins are multiplied by the bet on the winning line. All wins across all lines are added together to form the total win. All symbols that award payouts must appear on the winning line and on consecutive reels, starting with the leftmost reel. Only the highest win on each line is paid. Scatter symbol wins are added to any line wins.
