Game features of Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx

Jungle Jim logo wild

The logo symbol acts as the wild for this slot when it surfaces on reels two through to five. This symbol substitutes for all others except the scatter and sphinx symbols.

Scatter wins

The scatter symbol can appear in any position, and we can earn 5x, 10x or 20x total bet (excluding boosted bet) with 3, 4 or 5+ symbols. The symbol only appears during the base game.

The slot has high volatility with an RTP of 96.10% to 96.30%.

Rolling Reels with Multiplier Trail

The Rolling Reels feature is a bonus game triggered by a payline win. In this feature, the symbols involved in the win are removed from the reels. This action creates gaps that are filled by symbols from above the reels for the chance to create new wins. If the shifting reels create a new win, then this process repeats until no new win is created. Each roll increases a win multiplier trail:

• 1^st roll: 2x multiplier
• 2^nd roll: 3x multiplier
• 3^rd roll: 4x multiplier + 50 paylines upgrade
• 4^th roll: 5x multiplier
• 5^th+ roll: 10x multiplier

If no win is recorded on the 3^rd roll, then a Second Chance Re-Spin is awarded.

Win Booster

The Win Booster is an optional feature in the main game at the cost of an extra bet of 3x current bet. It enables an additional scatter to increase the odds of triggering extra spins.

Features of the game include Multiplier Trail, extra spins with Multiplier Trail, Win Booster, Rolling Reels, scatter wins, wilds and more.

Extra spins with Multiplier Trail

The sphinx symbol can only appear on the 3rd reel during extra spins where it is collected giving rise to a shift of the remaining symbols. It awards an additional spin and increases the minimum multiplier value, thus increasing the multiplier trail until the maximum is reached. The win multiplier is as follows:

• 1^st roll: 3x multiplier
• 2^nd roll: 4x multiplier
• 3^rd roll: 8x multiplier
• 4^th roll: 12x multiplier
• 5^th+ roll: 20 multiplier 

The trail resets when a winning combination is not formed. The extra spins are played with 50 paylines and are triggered by 3 scatter symbols.
