There’s a touch of the King Kongs about this animal-themed online slot machine from Playtech with a huge gorilla as the title character; it’s called Epic Ape and it comes with a vast number of paylines as well as one hundred free spins for the luckier players.

Epic Ape is a six reel slot with four rows and 4096 ways to win – this means there’s no payline structure and all you need to do to make winning combos is land matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left hand side. Vines hang from those reels which float against a densely forested backdrop.

The higher value symbols are all the animals from this story and include our ape (which appears stacked on all reels), a leopard, a puma, a tree frog and a lizard; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A represent the lower values.

A huge diamond is wild and it appears on all reels except for reel one – it will replace all others to help form winning combos except for the Free Games scatter symbol.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three or more of the Free Spins scatter symbols anywhere in view for which you will receive the following:

• Three Scatters – 8 free spins.
• Four Scatters – 15 free spins.
• Five Scatters – 25 free spins.
• Six Scatters – 100 free spins.

Landing more within this round will award the following extra spins with no maximum:

• Two Scatters – 5 free spins.
• Three Scatters – 8 free spins.
• Four Scatters – 15 free spins.
• Five Scatters – 25 free spins.
• Six Scatters – 100 free spins.

Any win which contains a wild diamond will be multiplied by 2x, 3x or 5x – the value is picked at random.

Verdict

Epic Ape isn’t the most sophisticated slot we’ve ever played but it’s colourful, engaging and it’s accessorised with a jungly soundtrack which keep things ticking along. This game comes with an RTP of 95.96%.
