Ever since the first telling of King Kong there has been a fascination with the great ape. King Kong, since then, has featured in numerous movies and video slots. There have been online slots starring great apes without any name attached. Two new such video slots have just gone live at online casinos.

The new Playtech video slot Epic Ape has hit online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino. The slot game has a unique structure consisting of 6 reels, 4 rows and 4,096 ways to win. The ape is the highest paying symbol and it can appear stacked on all reels. Six apes on successive reels pay 300 times the line bet. The other high paying symbols are leopard, panther, chameleon and frog. The low symbols are the usual playing card icons. The diamond wild symbol appears on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 only.

Three or more scattered Free Games logo symbols trigger the free spins. During the feature the wild symbol also becomes a multiplier with a randomly decided value that is 2x, 3x or 5x. Three symbols trigger 8 free spins, four symbols trigger 15 free spins, five symbols trigger 25 free spins and six symbols trigger 100 free spins. The free spins can be retriggered infinitely. The retrigger works in the same way except that even two symbols award 5 free spins.

King Kong Fury is from NextGen Gaming and can be played at InterCasino. It is not a branded slot game but follows the original story. The slot machine has a 5x4 reels structure with 50 paylines. The great ape is the wild symbol that appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. The high paying symbols are dinosaurs and giant lizards found on Skull Island. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons. The actress that King Kong fell in love with is the bonus symbol. It appears on reels 1 and 5 only. When it appears on both these reels it pays 100 times the bet and awards up to 100 free spins.

The exact number of free spins is randomly determined. During the feature every full wild stack will award a free respin with the wild stacks held fixed. The Lightning Reel feature may be randomly triggered and will add up to 15 beast symbols for monstrous wins. After any spin the natives may chant Kong’s Call. Kong will be summoned and add up to 12 wild symbols on the reels.
