With Cash Coins, Lightning Coins, and a Buy Feature option, it delivers a thrilling and flexible experience for players seeking action-packed jungle adventure.
Kingdom of the Flaming Ape
Deep within an untamed rainforest, sunlight filters through dense green canopies while cascading waterfalls tumble down moss-covered cliffs. This is a realm of ancient wilderness, where the air hums with the buzz of life and the ground trembles beneath heavy footsteps.
At the heart of this jungle dwells a colossal gorilla, its powerful frame framed by dancing flames that mark it as the undisputed ruler of these lands. Its piercing amber eyes survey the territory with quiet authority, a guardian of secrets hidden among the vines and rocks.
Legends speak of a golden twin, a radiant echo of the great ape that appears when fortune stirs in the forest. Together, these mighty apes command a domain rich with glittering treasures, sparkling diamonds, and gleaming relics waiting to be discovered. For those brave enough to venture into this wild kingdom, the jungle offers an electrifying adventure beneath the watchful gaze of its fiery king.
All Ways to Win
The game is played across six reels with 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations must begin from the leftmost reel with matching symbols appearing in any position on consecutive reels. On each way, only the highest winning combination pays, while wins across different ways are accumulated.
Wild and Scatter Symbols
The diamond acts as the Wild symbol, substituting for all symbols except the Scatter, Cash Collect, Cash Coin, Lightning Coin, and Free Games Coin symbols. The Free Games symbol serves as the Scatter, with 3 to 6 landing anywhere on the reels triggering the Free Games feature.
Cash Collect and Coin Symbols
The Cash Collect symbol lands only on reels 1 and/or 6 and collects all coin symbols in view on that spin. The game features three coin types: Cash Coins carrying values from 0.5× up to 10× the total bet, Lightning Coins that award jackpot prizes, and Free Games Coins worth +1 that appear during the Cash Collect Free Games. Up to two Cash Collect symbols can land simultaneously in the main game.
Cash Collect Prizes
Landing a Cash Collect symbol together with a Lightning Coin awards one of four fixed jackpot prizes. The Grand is worth 1000× the total bet, the Major 200×, the Minor 50×, and the Mini 20×. The awarded prize is selected at random and can be won multiple times.
Free Games Feature
Landing 3 to 6 Scatter symbols triggers the Free Games feature, where players choose between two modes. The Cash Collect Free Games award between 2 and 8 spins depending on the number of Scatters, while the Epic Ape Free Games award between 8 and 30 spins.
Cash Collect Free Games
During this mode, Cash Collect symbols appear on reels 1 and/or 6 and stay locked in place until the feature ends, collecting all coins that land. Only Cash Collect, Cash Coin, Free Games Coin, and Lightning Coin symbols appear. The feature can be retriggered indefinitely by landing a Cash Collect and a Free Games Coin symbol together.
Epic Ape Free Games
This mode features symbol collection boxes beside the reels. Golden ape symbols that land are collected, and filling each box converts a lower-value symbol into an ape symbol, increasing win potential. Filling any collection box awards two additional free games, and landing two or more Scatters grants further spins.
Epic Ape and Nudge Features
During the main game, an Epic Ape may appear on any random spin, adding Cash Collect symbols, coins, or Scatter symbols to the reels. The Nudge feature can trigger on reel 6, shaking the reel to bring a Cash Collect or Scatter symbol into view, boosting the chance of triggering features.
Extra Bet and Buy Feature
The Extra Bet mode increases the chance of triggering Free Games by raising the total bet by 20%, without changing payouts. Alternatively, the Buy Feature lets players manually trigger Free Games with 4+, 5+, or 6 Scatters at 100×, 150×, or 250× the total bet respectively, then choose which Free Games mode to play.
