Mighty Kong Slot Review

Mighty Kong Slot Review

When I load Mighty Kong, I feel like I am stepping into a classic movie adventure built around the famous gorilla. Pragmatic Play released this five reel, four row, fifty line video slot back in March 2016, and it still holds up well. The reels sit over a jungle backdrop and look like a strip of film, which fits the whole King Kong cinema theme nicely.

Mighty Kong plays with what I would call balanced maths. The volatility is rated as medium or average, so I get a mix of smaller line wins and the odd bigger hit when features land. Even in the base game the expanding wild on the middle reel can change a spin, and once scatters show up the slot moves to another level of excitement.

Bonus Features in Mighty Kong

In Mighty Kong the main feature is the free spins round, which starts when three or more King Kong scatter symbols land anywhere. I then choose between four options, from forty free spins with a one times multiplier through to five free spins with an eight times multiplier, with thirteen spins at three times and eight spins at five times sitting in between those extremes.

What I like here is the sense of control. On days when I want longevity I take the forty spin option, and when I feel brave I go for five spins at eight times, chasing that x955 potential. There are not dozens of side games, but the bonus round triggers often enough and can be retriggered on the same settings, so the package still feels entertaining.

Mighty Kong Symbols and Paytable

The paytable in Mighty Kong is built around the film style characters and pays quite neatly when you land full lines. Ann Darrow is the top symbol, paying twenty times stake for five of a kind, with Karl Denham and Jack Driscoll dropping to ten times and five times for the best hits. You usually need three or more matching symbols from the leftmost reel to score.

Lower down, the card style icons keep the balance ticking over. Five of a kind on these symbols tends to pay between one point six times and one point five times your stake, while three of a kind wins can drop as low as zero point four or zero point five times. It feels modest, but those smaller pays appear often enough to keep the base game moving.

On top of the regular symbols Mighty Kong has two important special icons. The wild, shown simply as the word Wild, substitutes for all standard symbols and becomes expanding when it lands on the third reel, stretching to cover that reel and helping create multiple line wins. The King Kong scatter symbol both starts free spins and pays in its own right when enough appear anywhere in view.

Game Statistic. Mighty Kong by Pragmatic Play

Looking at statistics, Mighty Kong has a SlotRank sitting in the mid five thousands, and I often see it offered in dozens of countries and plenty of UK casinos. There is no published absolute max win in cash terms, but with x955 potential and expanding wilds the game can still throw up respectable hits. User ratings hover around nine out of ten, which matches my own feeling.
