Jungle Wild Pokies
The topic of ancient civilisations, particularly the Mayan culture that dominated central America for hundreds of years, is a popular one with online casinoplayers, so WMS Gaming have added Jungle Wild video pokies to their range, a game that sees pyramids, gold coins and various flowers and animals across the 5 reels.Although it’s not the newestpokie in their range, it has a very up to the minute design and all the symbols are in stunning detail, seeming to pop out of the reels with their bright colours and something of a 3D graphicseffect.
The backdrop of the jungle is largely obscured by the main game, but it helps to set the scene and contributes to the overall style. While the ‘Jungle’ part of the title is self-explanatory, the ‘Wild’ bit needs a bit more explanation, and it comes from the wild symbolssubstitutions that occur throughout normal gameplay and especially during the free spins bonus games which are the main extra feature that we have in this online casino pokie.
Apart from the wild substitutions, there’s also a Feature Guarantee, which, as the name suggests, ensures that once the free spins bonus feature games are running, players will be sure of at least a minimum payout. So, all that they need to do is decide how much to wager per spin and keep on playing until the free spins are triggered, with a low limit bet of 0.01, or 0.30 if all lines are in play, and a maximum stake of 90.00. Those who like gambling online, but don’t want to use real cash on an unknown game, could play free Jungle Wild video pokie games at many of the casinos where it’s featured.
Playing Jungle Wild
Various exotic flowers will make the majority of the winning combinations up, and although these will be of lower value, any win is better than no win. Talking of wins, players will need to line 3 or more of the same symbol across an active payline, running left to right on connected reels to get a prize.
Then it’s the turn of the animal kingdom, starting with a bright blue butterfly and moving up in value, there’s a couple of parrots, and king of this particular jungle is a cute monkey. The most valuable regular symbols are gold coins, which are both worth the same amount and are richly decorated with fierce-looking faces on each.
The Jungle Wild game logo is a specialwild symbol that also pays out the biggest prizes when it stops across 3, 4 or 5 reels on an active payline. When matching symbols land across a payline, but there’s a gap in the row, if the wild is in the right place it will substitute for the symbol and players will still win a prize. It can also turn winning lines into higher-value combinations if it lands in the right places on reels 4 or 5.

Bonus Features
An ancient pyramid triggers a bonus free spins game when it lands in at least 3 spots on the reels at any one time, and unlike other symbols, it doesn’t need to be on any payline. If all 30 lines are activated, there’s a guaranteed payout of at least 10x the triggering bet, but anyone who is just playing a few lines will still be assured of a consolation prize.
The number of spins awarded depends on how many pyramid scatter symbols landed. If it was just 3 of them, players get 5 spins, 4 scatters will see 7 free games play out and if 5 pyramids landed at once, the maximum of 20 games will begin. To help make sure of a few wins, 2 random reels will be filled with stacked wild symbols on each spin, so even if just 5 games are triggered, there should be a win or two in there.
If any 3 or more scatters appear in a free spin, the round is retriggered and players will see any extra spins added to the end of the current ones.
The Verdict
An outstanding design, with great detail to the symbols, makes the Jungle Wild video pokie from WMS Gaming an attractive sight. It also benefits from some fairly attractive bonus features, as the free spins game can be quite rewarding, especially as the feature guarantee ensures that everyone wins something once they are triggered.
The bet range should suit all players and lining up winning symbols is relatively easy, so anyone who likes the jungle theme, and let’s face it, most of us do, should enjoy giving these reels a spin or two at an online casino that features the WMS Gaming range.
