Jungle Wild is indeed inspired by the wild part of the jungle, by its flowers and insects especially, but it has a human component to it as well, with a couple of symbols showing the kind of idols that you would’ve found at the ancient civilizations from South America. The game was designed by the WMS designers and it’s a pretty typical title for them, if you discount the choice of theme at least.
The offer of Jungle Wild includes the usual 5 reels and the 25 paylines that are used on them, but it also has wilds and scatters, free spins and wild reels when it comes to features. It is a game with a $7,500 top prize.
Features of Jungle Wild
If you look at the features of Jungle Wild, what you’re going to discover is a collection which includes wild symbols, scatters and free spins.
As always, the main symbol of Jungle Wild proves to be the wild, as it has the two main roles that are often attributed to it. It has that wild ability first of all, which allows it to substitute for any other symbol that is trying to form a combo on a payline. This isn’t the case with the scatter, so the wild can’t act as one. Wilds are only useful in this role when they appear on the payline where they’re needed and in the right position as well, so often enough they will not be able to do anything when they do appear. In other situations, you will find that you even get multiple wilds at the same time on a payline, and that they form a combo which pays as much as 2,500 coins.
Free Games Feature
Like is often the case, you also have a scatter symbol to make use of. The image chosen for it is that of the Jungle Temple. The scatter’s name comes from the ability it has, to be present in random locations on the reels, yet still be able to trigger the free spins if enough of them are in place.
To get the minimum number of 5 free spins you need three scattered Temples. For 7 free spins, four Temples have to be present. The maximum number of 20 free spins is obtained with all five scatters in place.
One thing I enjoyed tremendously about this feature is that each free spin comes with two wild reels, which are randomly chosen each round. You can also trigger the free spins once again, if you meet the requirements.
Betting options and jackpots
Every single line in this game is covered by its own coin, without the option to use more. There are 25 coins that are selected when all the lines are active, while denominations vary from $0.01 to 3. The maximum bet you are allowed to place is at $75.
The wild symbol is responsible for the top jackpot, the combo it forms bringing you up to 2,500 coins. In this game, that’s a value of up to $7,500.
Design and symbols
Thanks to the heavy use of the jungle flowers among its symbols, the game looks quite good and appealing. There is less of a focus on wild animals here, and the South American cultures are only present in a couple of symbols, so overall it feels like a slot which shows you things that the jungle offers or has seen at some point. You even see a bit of the jungle in the background image.
Symbols: Jungle Wild Logo (2,500 coins, wild), Temple (scatter), Gold Idol (750 coins), Gold Idol #2 (750 coins), Monkey (500 coins), Parrot (400 coins), Butterfly (250 coins), Pink Flower (125 coins), Red Flower (100 coins), Blue Flower (100 coins) and Purple Flower (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
The slot is not special in any major way, with a common theme and with features that other slots also offer, but that doesn’t make it a bad choice. It gives you enough to make it interesting.
Jungle Wild can be found at any WMS casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
