Return of Kong Megaways

The ape king Kong has spread across all kinds of media these days. It’s not just the movies anymore – he’s the darling of the slot industry as well. Blueprint Gaming is the latest online casino studio to focus an online slot on it with Return of Kong Megaways.

While it sounds like a sequel, it's not – this is the first Kong slot released by the studio. However, that doesn't make it inferior to other ape-inspired slot titles. As a matter of fact, this might be the superior Kong version in the slot industry, with 117,649 ways to win and potential maximum returns of 50,000x the bet.

The slot pairs medium to high volatility with an RTP of 96.03%. Return of Kong Megaways offers ample winning opportunities thanks to the variable reels engine. Cascades are in the mix as expected, but me Foxy-lovin’ players can also enjoy a range of other features such as multipliers, Mystery Kong, and Golden Monkeys that you collect to upgrade the engine.

Just like most Megaways slots, Return of Kong Megaways has a 6-7 setup. There's an extra horizontal reel on top with four symbols that can complete winning combinations. The number of winning ways varies per spin depending on the number of symbols on the reels, which can go up to 7. Blueprint Gaming has made the slot look pretty easygoing, with all the controls in their usual spots.

A glance at the paytable will tell you that Kong pays the most. Six of these symbols pay 50x. The other symbols are far inferior paying less than ten times of that. There's a wild too, and a scatter which spells Kong and grants you access to the bonus round.

Visually, it’s an impressive-looking slot, especially when it comes to Kong. The king ape is dressed in silly attire that fits today’s generation, so me younger Foxy-lovin’ fans will surely like him.

Playing the Return of Kong Megaways slot is simple. You place a bet, click on the Spin button, and wait to see what the engine has in store for you. Once again, I remind you that the number of winning ways changes per spin, so you might get 100 or the maximum of 117,649.

Cascades are active all the time starting with the base game as expected. Every win gets followed up with a new cascade. And these will go on and on for as long as there are winning symbols.

The Mystery Kong feature can be triggered on each spin. At this point, Kong himself will throw a golden barrel on the reels and add up to 100 mystery symbols.

That’s as far as special features go in the base game, but there’s still a bonus round to play for.

Four scatters that spell KONG will get you to the bonus round. They award 12 free spins, with each additional triggering scatter awarding five more. During the bonus, there's an unlimited win multiplier on each cascade, and the Mystery Kong feature is active on each spin.

To make things even more exciting, Blueprint has added Golden Monkeys to the mix. Me foxies should collect three of these to upgrade the bonus round, boosting the number of minimum win ways and awarding a pair of spins.

I won’t lie – it doesn’t get more fun than Return of Kong Megaways when it comes to Megaways slots. It’s a game brimming to the top with special features and a stunning number of ways to win. Cascades have been boosted by the Mystery Kong feature, which is active all the time in the bonus round.

With a few other modifiers included in the mix and an uncapped multiplier to top things off, this is an ape me Foxy-lovin’ spinners will love to party with.
