For those of us who are obsessed with all things to do with nature and its conservation, Dian Fossey sure comes to mind whenever someone mentions a gorilla. She was a self-effacing woman and idol to many modern-day luminaries, including Ellen DeGeneres and animal rights icon Jane Goodall, who sacrificed her life so that the silverbacks or as she liked to call them, “fluff balls”, would get to live.
For NetEnt’s latest slot, Gorilla Kingdom, we leave civilization behind us just like this acclaimed hero to go into the heartland of the mountains. It is here that we will embark on a vehement search for gorillas as well as other wild critters such as leopards who will, in turn, endow us with riches beyond this world!

Rules
Whether utilizing 3D or a classic 2D rendering, the developers at NetEnt always manage to come up with an eye-pleasing creation. What we have here is a product of merging both, resulting in a simplistic 5X4 grid that blends in well with a very realistic nature-inspired backdrop, and it looks awesome!
On to the actual game, you do not need to be a jungle explorer to conquer the reels of this online slot. All you need is a substantial stake and a little bit of luck to turn every single spin into a win. Talking of stakes, the options on offer here range from as little as €0.1 to the high limit of €350.

Your aim in the base game is to land identical symbols on adjacent reels, regardless of the position. Gorilla Kingdom slot has 11 regular symbols split into high and low pays. The low pays are the slot-hackneyed 9-A royals which have been embellished with nature’s colors to complement the overall look. Yes, these symbols show up everywhere, but the developers have made them appealing, at least. High payers are all wild critters such as gorillas, leopards, hornbills, okapis, and pangolins. Their values are not as high as you would expect as the premier symbol (gorilla) only nets 4 times your stake for 5 of a kind.
Finally, a word of caution: despite it being a 1024 ways-to-win slot powered by a medium volatility mechanic, Gorilla Kingdom will not shower you with wins soon after you kick off your spinning session. It will be a while before you hit something substantial but worry not because the slot will really be willing to pay during the bonus round (discussed below).
Bonus Round
Land 3, 4, or 5 scatters (diamonds) to activate 10, 20, and 30 free spins, during which landing 2, 3, 4, and 5 scatters will award you an additional 3, 10, 15, and 20 free spins respectively. The abundance of free spins is not the only thing you should be excited about. You will be presented with a symbol counter on the right side of the grid, which collects all the ancient gorilla masks appearing on the grid during the free spins to give you a chance of transforming the leopards, hornbills, okapis, and pangolins into the mighty gorilla. This could lead to you having only the gorilla symbols on the grid, which will trigger a mega payout that could reach 2857 times your bet!
Beat your Chest and Give it a Good Spin!
Are you looking for slots that give you very high chances of landing tremendous wins? Then the Gorilla Kingdom slot is just where to put your money. The base game is a complete write off because of its utter lack of special features, but juicy wins sure await in the bonus round where all the extras are concentrated.
In conclusion, NetEnt has created a slot that feels like a trophy hunt, where you lay in wait not knowing whether the kill will show up. It a dimension we never expected them to take, but then, it goes so well with the theme, not to mention that it offers a different type of gameplay with a certain degree of predictability you can always bank on!
