Gorilla Go Wild Slot

Gorilla Go Wild is a Jungle themed video slot from NextGen Gaming with 5 Reels/25 Paylines/Sticky Wilds/Bonus features.

The design and gameplay are well presented but nothing more above my expectations. For those who admire the Jungle atmosphere, might be an appropriate choice to engage.

Ever heard of Gary the Gorilla? Well, you have now, in this Gorilla Go Wild game from NextGen. Gary is a cute little gorilla that would eat bananas one at a time, all for your benefit. Actually, for a small little fella, Gary bites and swallows each banana in real quick time, but don't go and follow his style of eating - you might end up choking! Hahaha. It's not a new game, not a new one either, but can be quite fun to play, especially if Gary is in a good mood. Well, my several plays with him haven't really been any good, but I'm not complaining nonetheless.

Gary is of course the Wild symbol in the game, but unfortunately paying a very low 50x the total bet for getting 5 of him. Gary doesn't double any wins either, so that's one more downside for Gary. The Pyramid is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pays 83x the total bet (another low value), and getting 3 or more of these Scatters award a Free Spins game - there are 4 progressive levels of free spins modes, each with varying features, so you need to progress through each one of them in sequence. As for the other symbols in the game, they pay from 33x down to 2x the total bet for any 5 of them, so the paytable isn't that good at all, and still a low one.

During play, both in base game and during free spins, Gary may randomly award a Gary's Bonus Time feature to win an instant cash prize - not a lot, but better than nothing. The 4 progressive modes for the free spins are Grillionaire Wild Spins, awarding 10 free spins with a 2x multiplier, Stay Wild, awarding 10 free spins with Sticky Wilds, Mega-killa Multiplier, awarding 10 free spins with increasing multipliers up to 10x, and finally More Wilds, awarding 10 free spins with up to 3 symbols turning into Extra Wild symbols. Retrigger is possible for one time only in each of the 4 modes. Ah well, at least there's still a chance for a retrigger, for a better winning potential.

When Gary finishes eating that bunch of bananas above his head, he would move to a new place for a new bunch of bananas. For players, each new bunch of bananas means better and higher prizes for the features, but Gary can only move 3 times, so the final bunch of bananas would provide the best winning potentials. Yeah, the longer you play, the better the prizes - so for nice big wins, you must get to the 4th bunch of bananas, or you would go bananas with only small wins! Hahaha.

An interesting game to play in the long run, because you need to progress through the 4 modes of free spins, very much like in Immortal Romance and other similar games. From thereon, you can choose any of the 4 modes to play your free spins, for better or for worse. Why? Simply because any of the 4 modes can provide good wins or bad wins! May the Luck be with you all the time! It didn't for me, and I haven't had any good luck on this game so far either. My best win is just below 100x my bet amount, so that's nothing to shout about. Nonetheless, if Gary offers me a banana, I'd still take it! Hehehe.

I really haven't played too many NextGen slots in the past, in fact 300 Shields and Foxin' Wins are the only two I can think of off the top of my head that I have spent a great deal of time playing. 300 Shields is of course a true classic and Foxin' Wins isn't half bad, so I know this developer is capable of making a great game and I feel I haven't given their slots anywhere near as much attention as I should have done!

My first impressions of "Gorilla Go Wild" were very positive - I smiled at the games introduction screen for naming it's Gorilla protagonist "Gary" as there's no doubt that naming any animal instantly makes me feel more attached to the character than I otherwise would. I wasn't going to let a cute onscreen monkey influence me too much though of course! :)

Progressing into the slot proper my first thought was that it was a little unnecessary giving up a quarter of the screen real estate to "Gary", I suspected he was going to become involved with the reels in some way and sure enough on my very first spin he jumped up on his feet in response to two scatters falling into view and appeared to be even more disappointed than I was when a critical third failed to make an appearance. On subsequent spins I soon learned that Gary has lots of different animations, but I didn't see him really making any difference to the outcome of my spins like the fox often does in Foxin' Wins.

I liked the fact that the game has several features that can be unlocked by entering the bonus round repeatedly which is a feature I have previously only seen in slots from Microgaming eg Thunderstruck2 and Immortal Romance. This definitely increases the games addictiveness and always makes me want to continue playing so I can unlock the next feature and give it a try!

I really enjoyed Gorilla Go Wild overall, there's plenty of fresh ideas here and plenty of chances to land yourself a huge win. There's a lot of variety between the different bonus features and it feels like a very professional and polished product. I definitely prefer this game to Foxin' Wins and in fact whilst it may not have quite the same potential for an outrageously huge win as 300 Shields, I think it has the edge in terms of fun and variety.

I felt the game was running very slowly but I had quite a few tabs open within my browser at that moment so decided I should probably close a few things down to see if that helped the game to run more smoothly. The animation did improve when I did this however I have played many other games today that were still able to function correctly without having to trim down my browser activity which suggests this game has relatively high system requirements for some reason.

Gorilla Go Wild is a 25 paylines slot that projects the jungle theme! It is all about the gold Aztec coins, Gary who poses as the wild, the 3 Aztec temple/pyramid symbols and more importantly Gary who is the Gorilla wearing a crown on the left must eat plenty of bananas above him!! When i see that Gary eats bananas it tells me that I am one step closer to improving the random features.

The Random features, or "Bonus Time", are randomly triggered by Gary to win bonus credits.....to say the least and what I want the most, entry into the feature kingdom.....in a few words.....Free Spins!!!! Probably the most during live action on this slot gave me the next row of bananas for Gary to eat. This actually made the most in differences. I saw random features coming much more than the 1st row of bananas!

Before I feed the machine, I decide whether on a starting balance of $20 and $100 for when it calls for it, $0.02 bet size is efficient or $0.05 will survive through my rounds. As long as I hear the beats and drums I know something will come up. For anyone trying for random features, entry into the Feature Kingdom is the best, credit prizes....not so much! I have lasted up until the second option of Free spins....the Stay Wild feature! It's not as good as the first feature, Gorillionaire Winspins because if I do not land enough sticky wilds on Stay Wild, they do not harvest such amazing wins! No Wilds to little Wilds mean no big wins, it's a killer!

The sauciest part of playing Gorilla Go Wild is if I get the Bonus Time (random bonus hit), Gary the Gorilla gives me entry into the feature kingdom, the 10 Free spins on Winspins play out and before the last 5 free spins play out he gives out a retrigger!!!! That is one of the parts that creates more excitement for me, aside from the winnings!! It's a great game, full of random mysteries that tells a chance between winning well earned free spins or receiving the worst to a mediocre bonus prize.....I'd laugh at winning 3x my total bet all the time!!!

Hitting dead spins, delivering no random features if even after the random feature improvement as it promises from the time it struck the last random hit to the next random hit. Basically the question "how much investment and time will it take to hit the next feature and is it worth it?" comes to my thoughts.

Gorilla go wild is game made by Nextgen. And for me it is very interesting and a bit mystery game. I am tried it only couple of times, and I am really want to continue my adventure with this game, and I am for sure will continue it. Game itself is not old game and was released not long ago. Absolutely interesting game, and I will make my new deposits in it very soon, it is in my plan.

Game looks awesome. Generally reels and symbols are very similar to other Nextgen works, but I do love Gary! It is a gorilla, and it is placed near reels, and animation and look of this gorilla is outstanding. Very funny, and give me a lot of fun each time I played this game.

There is nothing very interesting during normal play, just because payouts are very very low. I once got 4 wilds, and thought that I am get good win, but I get paid something like 40 bets only, and of course it was quite shocking.

There is many different features, but unfortunately I am still on my way to try them all. First feature winspins feature, each freespins is guaranteed win, nothing special to me, because most freespins pay something like 1-2 bets. Second feature is stay wild - wilds are sticky during freespins. And unfortunately I did not checked 3 and 4 features, I need to hit freespins couple more times to unlock it.

I do not had payouts more than 100 bets, but for sure I will have it. Second feature with sticky wilds have a lot of potential, and I probably 3 and 4 have even more potential. I am very want to play this game, and will play next time I will make my deposits.

I rate this game with 10 stars.

Low payouts during normal play is bad. But in freespins you still could win very good.

Excellent! That's the first word that comes to my mind whenever I think of "Gorilla Go Wild" manufactured by the company "NextGen Gaming". On one side this slot of 5 x 3 reels is visually very attractive, inspired by a comic vision of life in the jungle, this slot has pretty icons, bright colors and a gorilla, Gary the Gorilla, which remains in motion throughout the game that even seems rejoice every time you get a prize or when you unleash some special feature. On the other hand, about prizes, the game seems to have no comparison, it has many features which attract players not only because of how they are described on the information section of the game, but because right from the start you feel all their power to the point of taking you to the euphoria, at least that has happened to me during this month, just because I had never before heard of this slot, but since the first day I played it won a place in my list of favorite slots with honors.

Special features:
3 or more scatters with figures of Aztec pyramids trigger a round of 10 free spins that can be retriggered only once, and every 4 times you access to this round, you unlock one of four features to choose and apply to your free games; which in their respective order are:
- Gorillionaire Win Spins: This option is available by default, and in this round all winnings are doubled and Gary the Gorilla may additionally retrigger the round without need of scatters.
- Stay Wild: wild symbols that appear will remain frozen in place until the end of the round.
- Mega-Rilla Multiplier: every wild symbol appears, adds 1x multiplier to your round up to 10x.
- More Wilds: each occurrence of 3 symbols may be converted to wild symbols except the scatter.
All these features have a great potential, and although not always your winnings will be what you expect, you will eventually end up loving these free rounds, and the best part is that they are frequently triggered throughout the game, I even finished a round and in the immediate next turn I could trigger another else.

Additionally, the gorilla is eating bananas as you play and when he runs out of them, he just move the reels to another part of the jungle and this means that it will increase the frequency with which he gives a bonus called "Gary's Bonus Time", which grants an intant bonus or gives access to a new free spins round. In this game you pay 30 credits per every spin with 25 lines, but as far as I'm concerned this slot is worth every penny, for its features, for its good hitting average, the excellent frequency on features activation and for its wild symbol that is more active than a monkey. Highly recommended

This slot is one of the cutest slots that were designed in NextGen Gaming. The slot has a very good graphic and a jungle theme where the main character is Gary the Gorilla. This game reminds me of some Betsoft 3D slots but with much better payout and a lot more fun.

This is a multistage slot game where you unlock more and more feature of the game as you play. If it was a Microgaming slot it would have been a progressive for sure but here it’s a 25 payline, 5 reel slot with a minimum bet of 0.30 euros per spin. The main symbol of the game is Gary who is also wild. During the play he stays left of the reels and occasionally eats a banana. The more bananas he eats the more often Gary’s bonus time is awarded and the wins are more frequent. When he eats all of the bananas he moves the reels to a different surrounding and you start over again. The Gary bonus feature can award cash prizes or you can get the Feature Kingdom bonus.

This is a free spins bonus which is played in four sets. You have to play each bonus 5 times before you unlock the next. Every bonus has its own features. In the first Gorrillionaire WinSpins you get a win on every spin guaranteed. The wins can sometimes be small but sometimes you can get nice 60-70 x bet wins. The second bonus is the Stay Wild feature and here every wild that lands on the reels stays there for the free spins. This is the best bonus of the game and usually in the third bonus you have a win of over 100 x bet. Once I got 9 wilds on the reels and had an amazing win of almost 300 euros on a 1.5 euro spin. The third bonus is also good and every wild awards a multiplier up to 10 x, so the more wilds you get the bigger the multiplier becomes. In the last bonus more wilds are added to the reels because random symbols turn wild.

This can be a very fun game to play and can be very lucrative at times. I would recommend a minimum 100 euros balance to unlock most of the bonuses and a chance to win something big.

Gorilla Go Wild is the latest NextGen slot that I did get a closer look and spent recently some time with and the very first thing you notice is the game creates a really joyful, charming environment right after your open it up. The graphics are quite good and the little animal characters are truly cute and attractive but for me the purple gorilla which looks like a plush toy is the one what makes me smile at times with the little funny moves it makes or when it gets excited (just like me) when 2 Scatters are already on the table and all of us are waiting for next one to trigger the bonus and after a big win it’s starting clapping, dancing and wears sunglasses while little bananas are flying all over the screen and this little animation makes the win a little bit more sweater. The supplementary background picture is also great looking pictures with jungle on the both sides of the reel area and with changing background images like sunset, waterfall which follow each other as the play session progresses. Maybe the background music and sounds could be better fitting but it’s really no big deal because the cheerful and delightful mood what the appearance of the game reflects is really top-notch and I honestly like and admire it.

This 25-payline slot is basically a multi-level game and it doesn’t just works for the bonuses but the base game also contains more stages. The mentioned Gary the Gorilla is not just an atmosphere inspiring decoration element on the screen but it can award randomly instant cash prizes (up to 1000 times of line bet) or entry to any available bonus games and from time to time it eats bananas and when all of them are eaten the background image changes and turns a new chapter of the gameplay and triggering the bonus or getting other extras happen more frequently afterwards.

By the way, getting to the bonuses we can achieve it by collecting 3 Temple symbols during normal game mode and at the beginning it means we’re awarded 10 free games where each and every spin guaranteed brings at least one winning combination and all wins are multiplied by x 2 but after the fifth time when we play bonus another kind of extra session becomes available and we can chose that we go with the mentioned Gorillionaire (what a great name) guaranteed win free spin bonus or play with the newcomer Stay Wild feature where every appearing Wild during that session remains on its place while the feature lasts. Mega-Rilla Multiplier feature can be played after the 10th triggered bonus round where every Wild landing on the table means the win multiplier is increased by 1 (up to x10). With other words, getting many Wilds at the beginning of the feature gives us an incredible chance to play the remaining free spins with very high win multiplier and needless to say how much potential is in spins which are played with x6, x8 or even x 10 multiplier. The next and last selectable feature (More Wilds feature) can be reached after 15 previously played bonus rounds where every spin may transform randomly any symbols on the reels into Wilds (up to 3 symbols).

I very like the variety of the bonuses and the possibility to choose from them but I have to mention unlocking all bonus options is really hard and takes some time and require flexible budget. I have never managed to get access to all of them though my longest play session lasted more than 40 mins. From these bonus I like the ‘Wild remaining on its spot’ feature the most because there are more Wilds during bonuses and if I can collect some of them on the first reels, at the end the final won amount (especially if the feature is re-triggered) is quite respectable (the most I could collect was around €140). The first mentioned bonus with guaranteed wins is also not bad but most of the occasions it means only just 3 of a kind wins and those are not from the better paying ones though it is still good to pocket around x 20- x 50 times of total bet.

During the base game the payout ability of winning combinations and the appearing tendencies of them are just average and even though the Gorilla which works for the game as Wild appears often but I never felt that I could win any real big and maybe it’s no wonder as the best paying 5 of a kind type win is worth only 2500 times of line bet and surprisingly the Scatter symbol can do that for us.

All in all, I like and enjoy playing with this slot mainly because of the above mentioned atmosphere creating ability and the different kinds of bonuses and really find some entertaining and pleasure moments spending my time with Gorilla Go Wild. Even if there are some smaller things what I could have done differently if I have been the creators (like the bonuses can be more re-triggered not just once or make all bonuses available to play with much easier way and at the earlier section of game session) but overall it’s a really cool and loveable video slot and I can advise it to anyone who’s searching a fresh, amusing product to spend the time with.
