Jungle Games is a 20 payline video slot that runs on the well-known NetEnt software platform. This sport-themed game comes with rich graphics and sound effects. There are 5 transparent reels featuring the legendary jungle animals who play different sports. Players are welcome to try the game for free on this page or choose any of the NetEnt Casinos found in our listings to play for real money.
To enter the world of jungle animals, players should select their bets first. There are up to 20 paylines that can be selected by pressing the “Lines” arrow keys. The bet amount is controlled by using the “Coin value” button, ranging from 0.02 to 0.5. The game “Level” can be set from 1 to 4. The “Max Bet” option shows the value equal to the number of paylines selected multiplied by the bet per line value. “Autoplay” enables reels to turn without interruption, while “Spin” starts the game.
The Wild is the Trophy which substitutes all symbols except the Scatter. It helps to land a winning combination and, what’s more, all Wild wins are doubled.
The Scatter is the Medal symbol. Players need to land at least 3 random Scatters in order to activate the Pick Win feature. During this round, you are asked by Jeff the crocodile to choose between Free Spins and an instant win. This bonus feature gives players the opportunity to win massive coin jackpots, of up to 400 coins. Free Spins carry a random multiplier from 1 to 5 times which is displayed in the game.

There are Summer Games, there are Winter Games, and there are Jungle Games too. The events in the Games may all be about similar, but the participants certainly aren't. In this case, we have lions, rhinos, giraffes and even apes competing for the coverted Gold Trophy. A lion against a man gladiator maybe? Nah, no man, just animals, hehehe.
Jungle Games could have been a more popular game, by having better features, but I guess this wasn't the main intention of NetEnt game designers. Instead, what we are getting is a tuned down game, a mixture of good and not-so-good features, so to speak, with an intention of creating a medium volatility / variance game. What I mean by this is that the Wild symbol, for instance, has an excellent win value of 10,000x the line bet, the Scatters too have a marvelous 400x total bet win value, but all the other symbol values have been tuned down, paying just 1000x down to 100x the line bet for getting any 5 of them. I can only say that the paytable is about average to good.
On top of that, even the Free Spins games have been tuned down too, randomly awarding the number of free spins and its multiplier of up to 5x. If you think this is good, well, not to me it isn't! A few times I had won 30 free spins with a 1x multiplier, and the final payout from those free spins were simply horrible - not even 20x my bet amount! Where free spins are concerned, I would still prefer a fixed number of free spins with a reasonable multiplier, like 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier for example. This would give a better indication of how the free spins would and could pay.
Well, honestly speaking, my several plays on this Jungle Games have not been good at all! Partly because I keep getting undesirable free spins and multiplier combinations, like 10 free spins with a 1x multiplier! Argh! I couldn't get any of the 5x multiplier at all, so none of my Free Spins games have been fruitful or satisfying enough for me. But, I must admit that the game can play quite well at the right times, with possibly some good big win potentials too, but all that has eluded me so far. Just too bad.
