9k Kong in Vegas Slot Review
The OG version King Kong almost became a gladiatorial bloodbath. You see, the director, Merian C. Cooper, wanted to have a real-life gorilla fight a Komodo dragon in a miniature set, but mercifully, he opted to go the stop-animation route instead.
Yeah, animal cruelty really wasn’t a thing back in 1933.
The movie's original version included scenes of Kong mixing it up with three triceratopses, a brontosaurus, and a giant spider. Cooper hastily cut the Spider Pit sequence when test audiences literally ran screaming out of the theatre.
I wonder what it would take to get the same kind of effect these days…
Anyways, this is 9k Kong in Vegas slot from 4ThePlayer.
Gameplay
Kudos to 4ThePlayer and Relax Gaming on a job well done. Not only have they come up with an off-the-wall theme, but they’ve clearly invested a lot of time and effort into pimping this game out. And the results are stunning!
From the “Go Ape” copy on the landing page button to the way the blinged-out primate climbs the Empire State Building, to the rocking character symbols (such as the T-Rex Elvis and pink flamingo lounge singer), 9k Kong in Vegas slot has been brilliantly put together.
And the awesomeness carries over to the mobile experience. Both portrait and landscape modes kick ass, so you can choose whichever orientation suits you, or flip between em.
Equally impressive are the 1,024 ways to win, the 96.01%, high volatility rate, and the €184,320 max win. But you’ll need to play with fiat currency coz that’s how Vegas rolls.
As a final point in this section, the Kong Wild replaces all symbols other than Free Spins Scatters.
Features
BIG WIN REPEATER:
Any win that’s bigger than 10x triggers this feature. It gives you the chance to spin a wheel which is divided into a blue (Repeat) and green (Collect) section.
You can keep going – and thus rack up wins – as long as you land on the blue section. Land on the green portion and you’ll be paid out and the round ends.
FREE SPINS:
This feature gets triggered once you land a Scatter on reels 1, 3, and 5 (you’ll get 10 spins as a result). Your biggest win will be saved, and it will be replaced with each successive higher win.
Wins are paid out in addition to the value of your highest win. At the end of the Free Spins round, you’ll once again be confronted with the wheel, only this time it has three colors/options.
Land on Collect and the Free Spins round ends. The other option is that you clinch 5 to 20 additional spins, and you’ll keep the current highest win you previously scored. Lastly, you could win 5 to 20 spins and reset the highest win counter.
XTRA BET:
You’ll bolster your chances of triggering the Free Spins round (via landed Scatters) by 150% for the cost of 50% of your stake.
Xtra Bet also allows you to spin the wheel again, should you be in the Free Spins round and land on the Collector section of the wheel.
BUY FEATURE:
Buy your way into the Big Win Repeater feature for 50x your bet. Alternatively, you can opt to pay 85x your bet and fast-track your way to the Free Spins round.
Performance
4ThePlayer didn’t make a monkey out of me, as the gameplay was slick and glitch-free. I tested 9k Kong in Vegas slot on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, using Chrome and Safari.
Maximum Win
There had better be some serious prize money on offer here, considering we’re in Vegas and our gorilla is rocking the bling like a hip-hop legend. Else that would be false advertising!
Luckily, the max win tips the scales at €184,320 and the biggest multiplier is a decent 9,216x. There’s also a fair betting spread, starting at €0.10 and maxing out at €20.
Conclusion
Hillbillys, frogs, and gorillas seem to love Vegas almost as much as we do. The garish setting makes for an unmissable backdrop, and I enjoyed how 4ThePlayer wove the Empire State Building into the scenery, to work with the King Kong theme.
The game offers solid stats and the Big Win Repeater and the options available during the Free Spins round are funky deviations from the norm.
Another selling point is that the game looks great on a mobile device, so it’s totally portable. All told, this game was enjoyable enough that I’ll have to give it a repeat performance.
