Before you enter the jungle, you should set your bet. By clicking on "+/-" you can set the coins size which ranges from 0.01 to 0.25. The number of lines can be set by clicking on "Select Lines" and by clicking on "Select Coins" you will adjust the number of coins per line. "Bet Max" sets the maximum bet and starts turning the reels automatically. "Auto" will turn the reels automatically without interruption but it is available only when playing for real money, and "Spin" will set the reels in motion.
The Wild symbol in the game is the Gorilla, and it can replace any other symbol in the game. This Wild is an expanding wild which expands each time it is possible for it to create a winning combo. During Free Spins the Wild comes with x2 multiplier, and during Super Round it comes with x3 multiplier.
A totem is the Scatter symbol which can trigger Free Spins feature if you land 3 or more of them anywhere on the reels. You can win 15, 25 or 50 free spins, and the number depends on the number of triggering scatters. If during Free Spins you land another 3 Totem scatters, you will trigger Super Round.
Dinosaur is the bonus symbol and if you land 3 or more of them anywhere on the reels you will trigger the Bonus round. This can only be triggered during Super Round.

Golden Gorilla the name for sure will make you think that you are gonna become rich playing this game which wasn't the case for me but at least I walked off with profit playing this Rival game that has 5 reels and 50paylines and the minimum bet I could do was 0.50$ which is not something that I'm comfortable with but I decided to give it a try.
Symbols in the game can pay really good if you get a full line which seems very hard but if you get lucky enough you will be looking at huge payouts, the normal Gorilla not (Angry one) that is wild pays 5000x, the Gold Coin pays 2500x, the Dragon pays 750x, the Leopard pays 500x and the monkey 400x, the rest of symbols pay from 75 to 250 I never got any line playing this game but when I do it better be some symbol that pays a lot.
The small Gold Gorilla doll that is scatter symbol won't grant you any cash prize but you will be seeing 15,25,50 free spins for the amount of them you get on the reel, 3 of them will grant you 15 free spins, 4 or 5 will be 25 and 50 free spins which is actually insane with the potential this game has but it seems too hard to get them. First time triggering the free spins I got a quickly 50x win because of (Angry Gorilla) symbol which is a wild becomes 2x that expand into the full wild reel and can be very rewarding if you get a couple of them. Second time triggering the bonus was very interesting because I managed to re-trigger it by getting 3 scatter symbols again and I got 15 Super round spins that on the start disappointed me a lot with the number of Dead spins I had but somehow it turned out to be another x90 win because then the wild symbol is 3x playing the super round spins and somehow I was able to get 2 of them on the reel they expanded and gave me a nice win.
The game itself has an original theme that I don't see very often and if Rival decides to make a Golden Gorilla 2 perhaps it could have a chance to become a very popular game as they could set up higher RTP and nicer graphics.
While playing free spins you will not be allowed to quick spin and I noticed this is a thing in almost every game Rival has, and it makes me angry most of the times when I have to watch a lot of dead spins in a row and not be able to just skip them basically.
The base game is really disappointing because of wild not having any multiplier on it as on free spins and the wins become too low especially when you are spinning on 0.50$ stake as your money can vanish really quickly, especially keeping in mind that the game RTP is very low for nowdays standards just 94.26%.
