Return of Kong Megaways slot review
Return of Kong Megaways is Blueprint Gaming’s 2019 reunion with its favourite gorilla — King Kong Cash’s laid-back hero transplanted onto six cascading Megaways reels dealing up to 117,649 ways, with golden barrels rolling through the jungle and a free-spins multiplier that climbs without limit. It quickly became one of the most played Megaways titles in the UK — the rare sequel that outgrew its parent — and its cheerful tone made it the format’s great gateway game for players intimidated by mining themes and metal soundtracks.
How Return of Kong plays
Bananas, gems and jungle critters tumble across the shifting reel set, an extra top reel feeding the middle columns, while Kong lounges beside the grid awaiting his moments. Wins cascade — cleared symbols are replaced from above — and golden barrel wilds bowl onto the board to patch winning ways together, with Kong’s random antics nudging quiet spins along.
Free spins and the climbing multiplier
Scatters wake the big ape properly: free spins where every cascade lifts the win multiplier by one, permanently, for the rest of the round — Blueprint’s well-travelled engine wearing its most cheerful costume. A trigger-stage gamble wheel offers more spins for the brave, retriggers extend the party, and a long banana-fuelled reaction chain late in the round is where the serious bunches hang.
RTP, volatility and top wins
The commonly published RTP is around 96%, with operator versions varying — the in-game information panel shows the live figure. Volatility is high, softened slightly by the cartoon charm, with advertised potential reaching five figures times stake on a charmed run through the canopy.
