Let’s set the record straight. There are quite a few King Kong slots out there. But why wouldn’t there be? It’s an awesome movie franchise packed with action that could definitely be translated into the online slot domain.

Today, we’re checking out NextGen Gaming’s attempt at it. This slot is simply named King Kong and while it probably isn’t the best King Kong slot out there, it is a lot of fun to play, and you can do so on this new casino site King Casino.

Stake up to a big max bet of £250 and hit the game’s max win of 250x your stake and, well… you do the maths. The issue with this, however, is that the King Kong volatility is pretty high which means that you might hit a few dry spells. We don’t fancy throwing £250 down the drain too many times!

The issue with King Kong slot is the fact that the RTP is all the way down at 95.14%, which is substantially below the market average of 96%. It’s not all bad, though! Stick around as we look at the pros and cons of slot games like King Kong.

King Kong Theme and Graphics

Visually, King Kong isn’t exactly thrilling. The King Kong graphics feel a bit dated, but they are kind of cool in a nostalgic way.

The King Kong slot by NextGen Gaming has a bit of a steam punk thing going on which suits the slightly dated feel of the slot, but it’s really down to personal preference as to whether you are going to enjoy it or not.

This slot was actually intended to be played on a mobile. King Kong is super easy to play on a smaller screen thanks to neat layouts of the buttons, but it is available on desktop and laptop computers as well thanks to the fact that it has been optimised in the production stages.

There is a nod to the 1930s setting of the original King Kong movie with an old-fashioned video camera as one of the symbols, and you’ll also see other items such as a skull, a spider and Godzilla.

The art deco style reels are laid out against a pretty nicely designed city skyline, and every time you spin the reels the symbols boom as if they are the feet of King Kong walking around. Each win is met with a glittery musical melody.

As much as we think King Kong is a pretty okay slot, it is safe to say that NextGen Gaming have done better in the past. Here are a few of their best slots that you might want to check out instead:

The functions of the only 2 controls are as follows:

  • The Spin button on the right in the centre – the function of this one kind of speaks for itself. Hit it once to spin the reels a total of one time.
  • The settings cog in the top right – here, you can tailor the game to your liking. Toggle the sound on and off, change your stake, set the reels to spin automatically up to 100 times, and even view the pay table so that you know which symbols to hope to see.
