How the Jungle Books bonus works

Jungle Books is a very special slot machine, based on 5 different game modes. Each spin is under the aegis of one of the characters from The Jungle Book: the panther Bagheera, the tiger Shere Khan, the hero Mowgli, the snake Kaa and the bear Baloo. Each character has its own game grid and two features associated with its realm.

• Bagheera the panther: the Super High Pay symbol turns into a WILD and multipliers of x2, x3 or x5 are applied to the winnings at random.

• Shere Khan the tiger: a Sticky Respin is awarded after a winning combination. Symbols that are part of a win and WILDs remain sticky during this respin. A column of WILDs is added to the highest reel.

• Mowgli the hero: reels with the same number of symbols are linked together to host the same symbols. Each WILD that appears on the grid adds 1 or 2 Extra WILDs anywhere on the reels.

• Kaa the snake: connecting lines pay in both directions (left to right and right to left) and a x3 multiplier is applied to winning combinations incorporating a WILD.

• Baloo the bear: Honeybee Bonus symbols are added to the top reel and contain cash rewards. A symbol is randomly selected to stack on the reels on each spin.

Each character is a master in his own realm, but can also appear as a guest in another's realm at random. Only one feature is applied as a guest. 45 combinations of features are possible.
