Blueprint Gaming’s iconic gorilla makes a special, festive return in the studio’s latest release, King Kong Cash™: Even Bigger Bananas Power Play, offering slot enthusiasts a plethora of bonus rounds to enjoy just in time for Christmas.
The 4,096 ways to win slot takes its place in the depths of a frozen jungle with the 6×4 grid playing host to a series of Kong’s fellow inhabitants and festive-themed bonus icons.
Landing a collect symbol on reels one or six will see all cash and jackpot symbols awarded that land simultaneously. Once the Cash Collect feature has been triggered, players then have the chance to benefit from four Kong upgrades; Dual Collect, Lock & Spin, Cash Boost and the coveted Golden Monkey, all optimising the chance for lavish wins through a series of cash-enriching features.
As in its predecessor’s offering, all unlocked upgrades remain in the base game and during the title’s free spins feature. However, any non-collected banana, golden monkey or golden barrel symbols are added to the new banana pot at the top of the player ‘s screen which can trigger the Go Banana’s feature at random, presenting players with a choice of three Pick a Prize features.
The series’ renowned Free Spins round is accessed by landing between three and six Kong scatters, granting 10 free spins and the perfect Christmas treat of a direct payout of up to 500x.
For slot enthusiasts on the hunt for further gameplay, Blueprint’s festive release also features a brand-new Power Play game available at 5x the original bet, benefitting from only cash, cash pots, collects and bonus symbols active, increasing the chance of additional collects and bonus wins.
King Kong Cash™: Even Bigger Bananas Power Play marks Blueprint’s blockbuster Christmas and final release of 2024, showcasing its commitment to consistently enhancing its game families with fresh features for players to enjoy worldwide.
