The world of Jumanji continues to fascinate! After several film adaptations, Jumanji is now… In slot machine version. NetEnt, a well-known supplier accustomed to this type of project, has indeed launched a slot directly inspired by this exceptional world, where wild animals, adventure, and dangers intertwine and that our teams have analysed, to present it to you in detail.

Discover the Jumanji slot machine, by NetEnt

The Jumanji slot machine, by NetEnt, was launched on the market in 2018. As its name suggests, it is directly inspired by the iconic film from 1995, which was directed by Joe Johnston.

This slot machine operates on a 3x5 reel grid, with a total of 36 paying paylines. It is a slot machine with relatively low volatility that will speak to you if you enjoy adventure films.

The symbols of the Jumanji slot machine

The Jumanji slot machine consists of several symbols, divided into two distinct groups. On one side, you will find the classic symbols. These are “playing card” symbols, ranging from Jack to Ace (J, Q, K, and A). These symbols are the ones that occur most frequently during a game. They are also the least rewarding.

The premium symbols, on the other hand, represent jungle animals. You will find the lion, rhinoceros, crocodile, and pelican. These symbols appear less often, but they are also the most profitable symbols.

Finally, you will find:  

• a Wild symbol. Like all, the Wild symbol aims to replace any game symbol to create winning combinations.

• a Scatter, which takes the form of the game's box.

The options and bonuses of the Jumanji slot machine

Here are the different options and features of the Jumanji slot machine.

Sticky Vines

The first feature of the Jumanji slot machine is the Sticky Vines bonus. This allows you to get free re-spins. 

The winning symbols from certain combinations will then become sticky, in the hope that winning combinations form during the next rounds. 

In some cases, the Monsoon Wilds option may activate. This covers two entire reels with Wild symbols.

Monkey Mayhem

The Monkey Mayhem feature is very interesting. Indeed, it allows the game's monkeys to come in and swap the different positions of your symbols at the end of a spin. The goal? To allow the monkeys to help you form winning combinations, without you having to do anything.

Wild Stampede

The Wild Stampede feature is quite surprising. When activated, it brings a herd of rhinoceroses onto the game screen. They will then spread up to nine Wild symbols across the game grid, in a completely random manner.

Scatter option

Finally, the Scatter symbol allows you to unlock the game's mini-bonus. To do this, you need to get 3 Scatters. Once this happens, you will then be able to roll two dice next to the game grid (the more Scatters you have in hand, the more dice rolls you will have available).

Depending on the result of the dice roll, you can unlock free spins:  

• 10 free spins, thanks to the Vines Free Spins

• 7 free spins, thanks to the Monsoon Free Spin,

• 6 free spins, with the Monkey Free Spins,

• 5 free spins with the Stampede Free Spins,

• extra dice games, with the Extra Rolls option,

• coins credited to the player account, thanks to the Coin Wins option,

• a mystery option.

RTP and profitability of the Jumanji slot machine

The Jumanji slot machine by NetEnt, profitable? It is important to know that it has an RTP (return to player) of 96.33%. This is a high rate. Generally, slot machines have a return rate ranging from 94 to 96%, so this one is above average.

The minimum bet is 10 cents. The maximum bet is 200 euros, for a total maximum win of x5,000. This is low compared to some slots that guarantee winnings of up to x10 or even x20,000, but such profitability is rare and a win of x 5,000 is already very profitable.

How to play the Jumanji slot machine?

Playing the Jumanji slot machine is very simple. Once the game is launched, just pay for your spin and then activate the slot machine, which will start spinning its reels and then slow down before revealing their combination.

If you have nothing, not even a bonus, you lose your bet. Otherwise, everything happens automatically: in the case of a paying combination, you are credited. Otherwise, the bonuses will trigger on their own. Only in the case of a Scatter will you need to act by rolling the two dice provided for you.

Note, moreover, that this slot machine exists in demo mode. You can therefore play it without having to spend any money.
