King Kong Cash is a slot machine by Blueprint Gaming.According to the number of players searching for it, King Kong Cash is a moderately popular slot. It's not up there with the most widely-known titles, but it has captured the attention of some slot machine players, so give it a try for free to see for yourself. Return of Kong Megaways Free Demo Play Blueprint is the provider with the most Megaways titles released under the BTG license, and the best of all is that most of them get a fantastic mass appeal. And here we are – reviewing what we believe to be the 13th Blueprint Megaways slot – the Return of Kong.

Adventure will often take place in places that are unexplored, where mystery is still alive, and what better place to go searching for a good story than on a long-lost island. Forgotten Island Megaways does exactly that, and this new Microgaming/All41 Studios release will rely on a King Kong like main character for the big role. With some very good features, but also with lower rewards than other slots using the same base mechanics, it remains to be seen if players will take a liking to it.

You’re going to find in Forgotten Island Megaways the same system as in other games that use this engine, so its 6 reels can get a maximum of 117,649 ways to win (Megaways). Form your winning combinations, and through Rolling Reels, Compass Wilds, Kong Spins and free spins with increasing multipliers, you could very well get close to the top jackpot worth 7,000x the stake ($140,000). RTP looks fine at 96.25%, though often enough we’ve seen it higher in Megaways slots.

Forgotten Island Megaways Betting and Prizes

Up to $20 can be used for your bets in Forgotten Island Megaways, but the starting point is much lower, at only $0.20 per spin.

The game allows you to skip the regular spins completely, and pay your way to the free spins, but it will cost you anywhere between 80x and 150x the stake. Depending on your investment, you get a different multiplier for the 10 free spins which follow (highest amount paid gets you 10 spins with either 5x or 10x starting multiplier).

Winning combinations pay very well, 50x the stake for the best symbol, and once you add up all its ways to win and multipliers, it’s not a surprise that it can give up to 7,000x the stake per spin. In fact, I’d expect it to do even better, as it’s one of the lowest paying games at this level.

A game with high volatility, it keeps a reasonable RTP in the long run, at 96.25%.

Slot Features

When you’re forming combinations in a slot like Forgotten Island Megaways, you’re using a random number of symbols on each reel, and so the number of active lines/ways to win changes all the time. Using the symbols from the reels, along with a horizontal reel from the top, you can get to 117,649 Megaways at most (no guarantee that they will actually have winning combinations on them though).

If you manage to form those new wins, the Rolling Reels mechanic comes next. You will get the winning symbols removed, others will land to replace them, and the waves of new wins can continue.

A bit of help may come via the Compass symbol, acting as a substitute when it’s included in new combinations. The downside is that you don’t get it in the main game area, only on the horizontal reel from the top (above the reels 2-5).

Kong Spins are important, and even though they’re completely random, their impact can be huge. They trigger for random winning spins, applying an initial multiplier of up to 10x (the others are 2x, 3x or 5x). The Rolling Reels which follow give 1x boosts to this multiplier and this can continue for as long as possible, no limits.

Another major feature will be the one delivering free spins. With 10, 12 or 14 rounds offered if you get 4, 5 or 6 scattered Kong icons, there is also a starting multiplier of 2x. This one also goes up by 1x, as you form combinations, and it keeps rising as you advance through the free spins. Should you retrigger the feature, the multiplier remains and it has no upper limit.

Theme & Design

It’s an adventure game, and it’s taking us to a lost island. We see the jungle image in the background, Kong the ape next to the reels, and plenty of adventure related icons in the game area. Quality wise, it’s looking great, a modern slot machine that’s well above many of the other Megaways titles (which will often look like they’re trying to win a Who’s Uglier contest).

As symbols, the Royals (9-A) get you started and can provide you with smaller wins, but the basis should be on the top symbols (Journal, Oil Lamp, Grapple Hook, Skull), plus Kong (scatter) and Compass (wild).

Conclusion

Forgotten Island Megaways delivers great graphics and the expected cool features with multipliers that have a lot of potential. It’s just a shame that the potential is not visible in the game’s top jackpot, which is limited to 7,000x the stake.

Return of Kong Megaways

An invite to visit a good friend of mine, a party ape called Kong, was too good an offer for me to miss. I chucked my thongs in a backpack (those are flip-flops Down Under by the way, not undies) and made a beeline for the Return of Kong Megaways slot which is set in a tropical paradise.

If you know your Megaways games from your other games, you’ll know that there are thrills and volatility to be had from an ever-changing reel format in these slots. Other designers have followed suit, like Elk with their Voodoo Gold slot, but it was Blueprint who were the trailblazers on this one.

And it’s this Megaways mechanic that Blueprint Gaming has used to create a dizzying 117,649 ways to win. That’s even more than the Jin Ji Bao Xi Endless Treasure slot for goodness sake.

After hearing numbers like that, I needed a quick cold lemonade to calm me down!

If you’re something of an old school slot lover, you’ll already know this game’s lovable ape, as Blueprint Gaming’s title is inspired by its King Kong Cash slot. This new game is the second installment of this hit game.

Look and Feel

The Return of Kong Megaways slot is a high-budget graphics fiesta, especially when you compare it to games like the Kongo Bongo slot (also with a primate in it of course). Blueprint Gaming has spent big bucks on making this beauty look tip top: this is no clunky one armed bandit.

The game has a lot in common with the original game that spawned the new title. There’s the same larger than life party animal Kong, the jungle setting (available in a number of other games by the way like Ivory Citadel for example) and you’ll recognise a few of the other symbols and characters. Watch out for some high-spirited animations as you spin the reels.

The loveable Kong is centre stage as you play, which reminds of of another famous gaming ape. Ooh, he just loves to be the centre of attention when the wombats are away.

The reels are set in a leafy jungle scene with bamboo reels and King Kong watching you play to the right of the reels.

Game Play

The Return of Kong Megaways slot is set over 6 reels and those bonkers 117,649 ways to win.

The big fella Kong is the highest value icon on the reels and 6 of these will bring you a 50x your wager payout. Not bad for a hairy party dude in a crown!

As well as the main man, you’ll also bump into his rag-tag crew of wild animal mates. This bunch of ne’er do wells look like they are straight out of my local boozer! There’s a tough cigar-puffing rhino, an eye-patch wearing parrot and a tiger in glasses. Strewth!

The game’s lower value icons are the Ace through 9 of the card deck.

Lookout for the game’s Wild which turns up above the reel set on reels 2 to 5. The Wild subs for all icons except the Scatter which arrives on the same set of reels but within the reels, not above them this time.

The Bonuses

This game has a feast of money-making extras and packs a clever set of Cascading Reels. Each winning combo sees the winning icons replaced, in a cascading fashion, with refreshed symbols offering the chance of new wins. That’s more like it. It’s a bit like Rolling Reels and Avalanche that you may have seen on other games.

Unlimited Multipliers

After each consecutive Cascade win you gain an x1 multiplier, which can keep on growing with subsequent wins. These special multiplier-enhanced wins are unlimited. Holy Vegemite, Batman! With features like that, no wonder that ape has a smile on his face!

Watch out for the Mystery Kong feature when our host goes ape and throws a gold barrel at the reels. Crikey! That’s something this wombat hasn’t seen since the original game. When the barrel hits, it peppers the reels with matching mystery icons that can generate juicy wins for you.

Get the free spins party started by landing 4 Scatters that spell out “KONG” and you’ll get 12 Free Spins. That cheeky monkey will roll out the barrel with the Mystery Kong feature here too. If you land further Scatters, you’ll get your paws on 5 extra free games.

Golden Monkey Feature

We’re not done yet, my wombat friends! Watch out for a trio of golden monkey icons that may land on the reels: you’ll get two new spins and the Megaways are boosted.

Summary

Return of Kong Megaways slot is a barnstorming triumph for Blueprint Gaming: this good looking second installment is a return to form for the friendly ape.

It’s a high-energy game with 50,000x your wager up for grabs on every spin and the bonus games that are just too good to miss.
