King Kong Cash Go Bananas (Blueprint) Slot Demo & Review

We’ve all heard of the saying “time flies”, and in the case of Nintendo’s Kong, it might shock you or make you feel old, at least when I tell you that game was first released in 1981. There have been countless spin-off titles, and the ape even found himself transitioning to the world of online slots courtesy of Blueprint Gaming. Their Kong series of games have been incredibly popular, and now we are being treated to King Kong Cash Go Bananas, which includes the Jackpot King Progressive Network. Stat-wise, we have a 5-reel slot with 10 fixed paylines, an RTP of 93.49%, and a maximum win of 50,000x bet.

There’s quite an entertaining feature set within the slot, starting with the Cash Collect bonus active in both the base game and the free spins feature. This has four levels that can be unlocked, each having more potency to increase your winnings when the special symbol lands on the 5th reel. Trigger the free spins bonus, and your Cash Collect progress will be carried over into it. Furthermore, an additional progress meter can award extra free spins and a win multiplier up to 10x.

With over four decades of adventures behind him, it seems as if the mighty Kong is showing no signs of slowing up yet. So are you ready to continue this famous story? Or maybe you could be set for your first taste of the barrel-throwing primate. Either way, there’s a free demo slot of King Kong Cash Go Bananas available for you to try below.

Back in the day, I was very much a fan of Nintendo, and to be honest, I still rate the games I played on the SNES and N64 as some of the best ever to be created. I mean, if you’ve played Goldeneye and Mariokart, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. Whilst for whatever reason ( likely licensing issues ), Mario, Luigi and Co never found their way into the online slot world with a series based solely upon their adventures, there was one exception, King Kong, with who Blueprint Gaming had huge success with titles such as Return of Kong Megaways, and King Kong Cashpots. Ever the industry to milk the last ounce out of popularity, we are all geared up here at Demoslot to check out Kingo Kong Cash Go Bananas, so let’s get things started at the paytable.

Starting at the top, we have the tiger paying 100x bet for a five a kind winning combo. Next is the crocodile worth 20x bet for a full line of five, who is followed by the rhino and bird, who both share equal payouts of 10x for a completed line of five. That just leaves the low pays, represented by four royal cards, the Ace and King, both valued at 7.5x for five across a payline, and finally, the Queen and Jack, which award 5x the bet for a five of a kind hit. A wild is also present in the game, which appears as a barrel and can land in stacks. This substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter.

With a minimum price to play of €0.10 and a maximum of €5, it’s fair to say the betting range on offer isn’t that great for the highest rollers that choose to play the slot. Still, €5 is a big stake in my eyes and should be satisfactory as a maximum in nearly all instances. As for the options below it, they may not be vast, but there’s enough choice, in my opinion, to match the bankroll of the majority of players.


Base Game & Modifiers

Blueprint has opted for a reel formation of 5×3 for King Kong Cash Go Bananas, which has resulted in 10 fixed paylines being in action throughout the base game and the free spins features. Wins are awarded if at least three matching symbols land on adjacent reels beginning from the leftmost reel first.


Cash Collect

Banana Cash Symbols can land on reels 1 – 4 during the base game. If a Collect Kong Symbol lands on reel five simultaneously, the Cash Collect feature will be triggered. This will see the Kong Symbol expand the length of the reel and collect all cash values in view. Once all the money has been collected, a new Kong Collect symbol will be unlocked. Once in play, any of the following Kong Collect Modifiers will be carried over into the free spins feature.

  • Collect Kong: Will collect all Money Symbols that are in view.
  • Respin Kong: Once all values in view have been collected, the first four reels will spin again for an extra chance to win.
  • Boost Kong: After collecting all visible values, a cash boost will be added to the winning total.
  • Super Collect Kong: All values can be collected up to ten times when activated.

Jackpot King

Randomly on any spin, the Jackpot King bonus can be triggered. Once active, players can win a multiple of their stake or one of the three progressive jackpots.

If a bonus scatter symbol lands in view on reels 2, 3, and 4, the main feature will be triggered, and 10 free spins will be awarded. In addition, any active Kong Collect Modifiers in the base game will be carried over into the feature.


Free Spins

The free spins play out identically to the base game with regard to the Cash Symbols being collected when a Kong Collect symbol lands on reel five. However, Blueprint has also added a mechanic that nearly every player will be familiar with.

Each time a Kong Collect lands, you will progress one position along the meter at the top of the reels. You can see the rewards that are on offer below each time you reach a significant point on the meter.

  • Collect 3 Kong Collect Symbols: Awards 5 extra spins, and a win multiplier of 2x will be applied to all winning Money Symbols.
  • Collect 3 Kong Collect Symbols: Awards 5 extra spins, and a win multiplier of 3x will be applied to all winning Money Symbols.
  • Collect 3 Kong Collect Symbols: Awards 5 extra spins, and a win multiplier of 5x will be applied to all winning Money Symbols.
  • Collect 3 Kong Collect Symbols: Awards 5 extra spins, and a win multiplier of 10x will be applied to all winning Money Symbols.

Pros

  • A hugely popular franchise that has stood the test of time.
  • Part of the Jackpot King Network.

Cons

  • A low RTP of 93.49%. This could be off-putting for those not interested in a shot at the progressive jackpots.
  • The standard maximum win of 50,000x bet seems unachievable.

Final Thoughts

I was surprised that Blueprint had released another slot in the Kong series of games, as I thought they had already drained every last bit of mileage out of it. The introduction of the Fishin Frenzy / Big Bass Bonanza mechanic could well breathe a new lease of life into though and spawn a whole new series of games. Watch this space.
