Jungle Gold Megaways Review: A Familiar Yet Underwhelming Experience

Onlyplay's latest addition to their Megaways family, Jungle Gold Megaways, is a reskin of their previous efforts. While it boasts a new jungle animal theme, the features and gameplay mechanics remain largely unchanged. In this review, we'll delve into the specifics of what makes Jungle Gold Megaways stand out from its predecessors.

Unique Features

One of the most notable aspects of Jungle Gold Megaways is its 3-tiered animal symbols. These high-paying symbols award 3, 4, or 5 times your stake for five-of-a-kind wins. The low-value royal symbols pay either 0.5 or 1 time your stake for five-of-a-kind wins. Each reel can hold up to six positions, thanks to the Megaways engine. The black panther Wild symbol is another key feature. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 only and substitutes for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins. Although it has no value of its own, it plays a crucial role in the bonus round.

Bonus Round

The Bonus Round triggers when three crossed jungle knife scatters appear anywhere on the reels. This awards 10 free spins initially, with an additional five extra spins awarded each time you land three or more scatters during the feature. All wilds that land become sticky for the duration of the bonus round, changing size to match the size of the reels.

Player Experience

Our 200-spin test run saw a few smaller wins in the base game before we triggered the bonus round with three scatters at 0:28 into the two-minute highlights video. We landed a decent amount of sticky wilds early on, which significantly impacted our winnings. You can watch the full replay to see how it all unfolded.

Conclusion

Jungle Gold Megaways is another installment in Onlyplay's seemingly endless series of Megaways reskins. While it offers some unique features, such as the 3-tiered animal symbols and sticky wilds in the bonus round, its overall performance falls short of expectations. With a below-average RTP of 95.08% and way below average win ways and potential, Jungle Gold Megaways is a disappointing addition to the Megaways family.

Final Thoughts

Onlyplay's strategy of producing essentially the same game with different skins may be working for them, but it's not doing much for players who crave something new and exciting. If you're looking for a more thrilling experience, you may want to consider other slots in the Megaways genre that offer more innovative features and gameplay mechanics.
