Jungle Games Pokie
There’s a fun fusion of African wildlife and sports on the reels of the Jungle Games video pokie which comes from those wacky Swedes who work at Net Ent and who seem to specialise in this type of off-the -wall games. There’s method behind the madness however, as visually appealing and entertaining online casino games such as this are going to attract a wide audience who will keep coming back, while something else that Net Ent like to add are a couple of rewarding bonus features. In the case of Jungle Games, we are treated to a high-paying wild symbol, scatter awards and a choice of free spins or a pick-a-prize round.
It’s got 20 paylines running from the left side across 5 reels and in the basic game, wins occur with 3 or more of the same symbol landing across one of these lines in an unbroken sequence. The low limit that can be placed on a spin of the reels is just 0.20, although this can be raised to a maximum of 40.00 and if someone wants to simply play for fun, then they will find free Jungle Games video pokies at most casino sites.
It’s a beautifully-designed game that has cartoon images of the animals and their sports equipment although we can’t help but think the artists were inspired by the Madagascar films. Surrounding the reels, there’s some trees and each reel is separated by lengths of vines that perhaps the animals are using for their exercises, while symbols float down against the backdrop of a running track. Below it all is a set of control buttons and the major controls are placed on top of some jungle drums for added effect.
Playing Jungle Games
Hidden in the tree trunks below the main game is a button that opens up a paytable and it’s here that players will see what each different symbol is worth. A whistle, towel with swimming goggles and a basketball are each valued at 5, 15 or 100x the line bet when landing on 3, 4 or 5 reels across one, while a set of barbells will pay out 10, 25 or 125x and a ping pong bat is worth 10, 25 or 150x.
Boxing gloves return wins of 10, 50 or 150x and then we go up in value to meet the various animals that are playing the sports, starting with a swimming hippo who’s worth 15, 50 or 200x. Payouts gradually increase through the basketball-playing giraffe, weight-lifting gorilla and a rhino who is enjoying a spot of ping pong, but the top prizes in normal play are awarded by the king of the jungle himself, with the lion paying 25, 250 or 1000x the line bet.
The highest value symbol is a trophy, which is also the wild and can substitute for any other, apart from the scatter, to complete winning combinations if needed. But it can also create winlines worth 250x when it lands on reels 1, 2 and 3 on a payline, while 4 of them are valued at 2,500 and a massive 10,000x the line bet is won when the wild runs right across one.

Bonus Features
A medal acts as the scatter symbol, so it won’t need to be in any particular places to be worth a prize and the amount won is a multiple of the total stake per spin, not just the amount wagered per line. If 2 scatters land, there’s a win of 2x, while 3, 4 or 5 at once equals payouts of 5, 20 or 400x respectively.
Any 3 or more will also take players to a special Pick Win option, where they can decide if they want to simply click one of the scatters to collect a coin prize, or enter a free spins round. This is also preceded by players clicking a scatter symbol and in this case, it will reveal how many spins will play out, along with a multiplier of up to 5x that will apply to any wins during them.
More free spins can be triggered if the scatter turns up at any point, with the new games tacked on to the end of any left in the current round, while the additional set will have the same multiplier attached to them.
The Verdict
Games with fun themes and cartoon styles are going to appeal to a wide range of players and anyone who decides to play for real money on Jungle Games is going to be spinning the reels of a great example from one of the top developers in the business.
It’s nice to have a choice of bonus features, but even without triggering the extra rounds, this is a good-looking online casino game that both sports and wildlife fans will enjoy.
