Jumanji Slot

Graphics

Not only do the Lion, Rhino, Crocodile and Pelican that make up our top-paying symbols look fierce as the game's top-paying symbols, but they are matched by the lettering of the lower-paying Jacks through Aces.

All symbols appear stacked, offering winning potential across multiple paylines with our top-paying animal symbols animating superbly when they complete winning combos to add plenty of bite to our buck. The game's randomly triggered bonus features see crocodiles leap up from the game board in the Monsoon Wilds feature or rhinos stampeding across the screen when the Wild Stampede feature activates. Clawing vines wrap around a winning combo and respin the reels in the Sticky Vines feature, while the random bonuses are completed by mischievous monkeys who swap game symbols to complete guaranteed winning combinations in the Monkey Mayhem feature.

Throughout the game, lights flicker and jungle bugs flit across our reels to immerse us further into the game.

Gameplay

Not only do we seek out payline wins across stacked symbols, enjoying the randomly-triggered bonus action as we go, but we can also see more wild action as the Wild symbol substitutes for all others except Scatters to complete winning combos.

The Scatters in question are Jumanji Game Boards, exploding into life and drawing us into the game when we land three, four or five of them across the reels. We now have six, seven or eight dice rolls to make our way around the game board.

If we land on or adjacent to the feature symbols we trigger the respective Free Spins feature, awarding us between 5-10 free spins with our random bonus modifiers activated throughout.

Verdict

NetEnt has released a number of top movie-adaptation slots in the past, but the Swedish studio's masterstroke in its Jumanji slot is in taking inspiration from the game itself.

We are treated to a reimagining of the original concept, shot through with rampaging Wild action in every sense of the word. The action on Jumanji's five reels is daring, breathless and rewarding - precisely what we are looking for from a jungle slots adventure.
