Kong’s Temple

Overview of Kong’s Temple

Kong’s Temple is the latest slot from the Australian developers at Reel Time Gaming in partnership with Blueprint Gaming who are responsible for powering the slot. If you are into old school gaming, then Kong’s Temple is most definitely a slot for you! The slot is complete with Gorilla wilds which have x8 multipliers up for grabs as well as bonus free spins that can double the amount of your winnings.

The slot features the flat top format which is one of the most desirable features with most players. Whilst the Gorilla in this slot may share the name of Kong it is certainly no match for the King Kong that we know and love. However, this is not a bad thing as you will be taken to an exotic place which could be called an “ancient, treasure-filled temple” Oh yes, it is! There are several temples filled with treasure themed slots but not that many that are home to the gorillas.

You will soon see that the gorilla in Kong’s Temple is nowhere near as volatile as King Kong and the slot is not to. The gorilla in this slot is laid back, and can be of use to you as he brings multipliers with him and these play a great part in the slot as they will assist you to land the highest wins.

Theme

This is a well-crafted slot that features colourful symbols that come from the jungle theme and are played out over a 5-reel and 3-row set up. The background is crisp and fresh, and the background alternated between the mountain top and the jungle in accordance with the stage of the slot you are playing.

Gameplay and Bets

The slot is played on 5-reels, 3-rows and 25 pay lines, and wins are created by landing two or three of the same symbols on consecutive reels. The slot is played over a standard format and the classic slot ambiance is accentuated by the sound effects. As the slot is powered by Blueprint it operates on their UI format to offer a user-friendly system that stays hidden away.
On the left of the game screen are the arrow buttons which you can use to choose your bet, and bets range from a minimum of 25p per spin to a maximum of £125 per spins. You can begin play by selecting either the manual spin button or the auto spin feature and into the temple you go!

As you will have noticed from the introduction of the slot Kong is not the wild beast you may first have thought he was and the volatility is not bad to however, the most appealing has to be the return to player which stands at 96.31% which is above average when compared to the competitor slots.

Pay Table and Symbols

The symbols make up the most vibrant area of the pay table and come in the form of a mix of old and new. The older symbols are represented by the usual playing card symbols 9 through to Ace and these are rather jungle-esque and created from wood. Next come the mid-range symbols which are the flower, frog, and mango. Finally, there are the two premium symbols which are depicted by the treasure chest with overflowing riches and a mysterious looking statue. You will want to land the chest as landing five will reward you with either 2,000 coins or 80x the amount you have bet.

The wild is Kong the gorilla and he can substitute for all the other symbols apart from the scatter to create winning combinations and he is also responsible for bringing multipliers into play. For every gorilla you land the win is increased by 1 to a maximum of x4 in the base game and if you are lucky enough to unlock the bonus round the modifier is doubled.

Bonus Features

When it comes down to it Kong’s Temple does lack when it comes to the features, apart from the Gorilla Wild and what it does to the multipliers and the round of free spins. The scatter is represented by the gold temple and this can land anywhere with three or more activating the free spins feature. There is quite an impressive number of free spins with 3, 4, or 5 scatters awarding 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. However, the best bit is that all wins landed in the free spins round are doubled and this means that the Gorilla multiplying power can double things to. When you land 1, 2 or 3 the multipliers are x4, x6 or x8 and the scatters stay on the reels during the bonus game making it possible to land more free spins and extend the feature even further.

Conclusion

Although Kong’s Temple is a simple game it will appeal to various types of players particularly those looking for a classic slot experience. When it comes to the visual’s things are modern with expertly executed symbols and a high definition background. The sound effects are testament to the slots land-based roots as do the pay lines when they light up with any wins. The slot is simple and offers a respectable return to player with the maximum wins capped at 10,000x the stake and £250,000 (whichever comes first). However, I can say from experience the most I won was 2,000x my stake but that is surprisingly good too.

The Gorilla symbol and the way he is so generous with the multipliers is what makes this slot exciting as they spice up the game and can then appear again in the bonus game with double the value. However, sadly those players looking for a modern slot with an abundance of features may not get that much satisfaction from this slot.

There are many slots like Kong’s Temple, and this sits pretty much at the top for me as it is a well designed and executed slot. If you are looking for something with more features and depth, I would suggest giving Return of Kong Megaways from Blueprint a spin. Although this slot has a more realistic feel Megaways has a more cartoony feel. Both provide similar winnings and Kong’s Temple is a good example of a slot that provides decent win potential in a physical styled slot.
