Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild

Be sure to turn up your speakers as you play or watch the video teaser below because NetEnt has really pushed with the animations and sound effects like they did with the Dracula slot, with 3D SFX. There’s just one major sacrifice to be made – there are no Wild symbols in this game. Nevertheless, you can still win up to 7,678x bet. See how in the full Jungle Spirit review below.

Symbol Expansion Feature – Earn Bigger Rewards With Randomly Expanding High Symbols

On top of the stunning win animations and 243 ways to win, like in Twin Spin and Victorious, Jungle Spirit boasts with 2 features that are active during the base game as well.

One of them is the Symbol Expansion bonus, which activates randomly. So when usually it’s the Wild symbols that expand, then this time it’s one of the 10 basic symbols. This includes the 5 high-value animals, which pay up to 150 coins per line. By the way, they can also appear stacked, 2- or even 3-high.

So here’s how the feature goes.

As you spin, the game may randomly mark one of the symbols by butterflies. Should it take part in a winning combo, it’ll expand to cover the entire reel and increase your chances of winning even further.

While that’s okay, it can still get better.

Butterfly Boost Feature – Expand Up to 3 Symbols at Once with Guaranteed Win

Like the above, this one can kick in on any spin, at random.

This time the bonus is more dramatic and puts everything in suspense. Watch as the fireflies take over the screen and tie themselves to up to 3 low or high symbols, which take part in a guaranteed winning combo.

The chosen ones will then expand to cover the entire reel, setting up the scene for Super Mega Wins like this one.

While there are no mystery symbols in the Jungle slot, there are still some similarities to Motörhead’s Mystery Reels and the Bomber Feature, which are quite outrageous as well.

This leads us to Jungle Spirit’s last bonus – the epic Free Spins.

Free Spins Bonus – 5x Free Games Options from High to Low Risk and 1,024 Ways to Win

This one’s massive.

You need 3 or more of the pink flower Scatter symbols, on any of the 5 reels, to win Jungle Spirit’s Free Spins bonus with a selection round.

More specifically, you get to choose between 5 animals, which stand for different bonuses. Go for high risk and less, but bigger wins; or lower risk and smaller, but frequent wins.

The free games count ranges from 4 to 8, 12, 16 and 20 free spins, respectively (image below). Obviously, the fewer the spins, the more volatile/risky the round and the bigger the possible rewards.

Unlike Microgaming, there are not that many NetEnt slots that let you pick between Free Spin bonuses, as usually they are awarded randomly. One of them is the 20-line Hook’s Heroes, with 3x Free Spins and lots of wild extras.

There is two more good news for the players in this epic round of free games.

First of all, the reel-set will expand from 243 to 1,024 ways by gaining one extra row. This means you’ll be playing on a 5×4 reel-set. A fan of that? See Quickspin’s Phoenix Sun slot, which expands up to 7,776 Ways in a similar fashion.

Secondly, during Free Spins, all 5x animal symbols can also appear stacked, like the base game, which means more ways to win in a single spin. Finally, both the Symbol Expansion and Butterfly Boost features are active too. And with 781 more ways to win with an extra row, they are that much more rewarding.
