Introduction to Hit the Jungle
Hit the Jungle is a casino slot from Red Tiger Gaming situated in, not surprisingly, a jungle. Animals from different parts of the world are often brought together in slots where the origin story doesn’t seem to be important for the game developers. However, if we assume that the tigers, parrots, snakes, and monkeys in this game live naturally in the wild, we have to be in a tropical South or Southeast Asian jungle. We may be in the Sundarbans mangrove forest between India and Bangladesh.
The game comes with several cool features and Mystery Symbols that play a great part in the Free Spins. The Mystery Symbols come stacked, sometimes covering an entire reel, and you play the Free Spins until no more Mystery Symbols appear on the screen. Let’s have a look at how it works.
Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Hit the Jungle is a video slot from Red Tiger Gaming featuring 6 reels, 4 rows, and 4,096 ways to win. The Min.bet is 0.2, and the Max.bet is 20. The game’s RTP is set to 96.08%, but other versions of 95.15%, 93.13%, and 91.10% are also available. Hit the Jungle has high volatility, and the max win is capped at 20,000x the bet.
Hit the Jungle takes place in a lush, dense jungle. The symbols seem like stone blocks, and the reels are framed with wooden roots and green plants. To the sides, thick green vegetation hinders us from seeing far. The setting is pretty dark, but there’s a thin stream of light showing in the background above the reels. When you start the game, there are tons of nature sounds from birds and other animals, and an uptempo song starts playing when you hit the spin button.
To make a win, you need to land at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left. The game is available on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Hit the Jungle are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay between 0.25x and 0.3x the bet for a 6-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are spiders, parrots, snakes, monkeys, and tigers. Scoring a 6-of-a-kind win with them awards between 0.4x and 5x the bet. The Wild Symbol substitutes all the mentioned symbols, but not special symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Hit the Jungle?
You can win up to 20,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Hit the Jungle?
The features are Wild Symbol, Mystery Symbol, Lucky Coin, Roar Feature, Free Spins, and Feature Buy.
Wild Symbol
The Wild Symbol can replace all regular-paying symbols and help create winning combinations.
Mystery Symbol
Mystery symbols appear in stacks of 4, 6, 8, or 10 symbols, with no more than one stack per reel. These stacks stay on the reels for several spins, moving one position down each spin until they disappear off the grid. After the reels stop, all Mystery symbols reveal the same symbol or Lucky Coins.
Lucky Coin
Lucky Coins can only appear when revealed by Mystery symbols. They come in Silver Coins (1x-5x), Gold Coins (10x-30x), Treasure Chests (100x-300x), and Golden Treasure Chests (500x-5,000x).
A Monkey may also appear, staying in place until all coin values have been revealed and collecting all prizes before replacing them with new Lucky Coins. If another Monkey appears in a new wave, it collects all current winnings, replaces all symbols (including the previous Monkey) with Lucky Coins, and starts a new wave. Only one Monkey can appear per wave.
A tiger can also appear as long as at least one reel doesn't contain a Mystery stack, creating a full stack of Mystery symbols on a reel. If the stack is placed to the left of the Tiger, its values are revealed after the wave finishes. If a Monkey is active, it replaces the Tiger with a Lucky Coin before the next wave begins.
A Diamond adds a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x. This multiplier is applied to the total winnings from all coins, chests, and Monkeys after all waves are completed.
Roar Feature
The Roar Feature can randomly trigger one of the following features in the base game:
- Adding between 2 and 6 full stacks of Mystery symbols.
- Expanding the grid to 6x6, 6x8, or 6x10.
Free Spins
You trigger the Free Spins on a regular 6x4 grid by landing 3 Scatter Symbols on the reels. Two full Mystery stacks (10 symbols high) are placed on two of the first four reels, and more stacks can appear during the feature.
You start the feature with a multiplier that increases by 1 after every spin. The multiplier applies to all regular wins but not Lucky Coins. If you land 3, 4, or 5-6 Scatters during the feature, the reels will expand 2, 4, or 6 rows, to a maximum of 10 rows.
If you start the Free Spins by landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatter Symbols, you play the Super Spins with 6 rows, the Ultra Spins with 8 rows, or the Mega Spins with 10 rows. The feature continues until no Mystery Symbol remains on the screen.
Feature Buy
The Treasure Fever doubles your bet and increases the chances of triggering the Free Spins five times. You can pay 100x the bet for a spin that guarantees to give you 3 Scatter Symbols, 600x for a spin of at least 4 Scatter Symbols, and 1,000x the bet for 5 or 6 Scatters.
Final Thoughts on Hit the Jungle
Playing Hit the Jungle is like wandering into the wild without a map, but in a fun way, where the monkeys hand you coins instead of stealing your snacks. It mixes a classic jungle theme with a surprisingly busy set of features, and once things get going, there’s a lot happening on the screen. Mystery Symbols sliding down like stubborn vines, monkeys collecting shiny loot, and tigers showing up like they own the place.
The Lucky Coins and the Free Spins are two of the game’s stars that can turn a calm spin into a full-blown jungle party. The increasing multiplier during Free Spins adds a nice sense of momentum, even if the biggest prizes depend more on coins and monkeys doing their thing.
The graphics are good, and the thick jungle sound helps create a full experience, making you feel like something exciting might jump out at any moment. Whether it’s a massive Mystery stack or a surprise Roar Feature, the jungle keeps you alert. For other jungle slots, don’t miss Blueprint Gaming’s Jungle Fortune or NetEnt’s Jungle Spirit Megaways.
Hit the Jungle from Red Tiger Gaming delivers a wild ride where monkeys collect treasure, tigers stir trouble, and every spin feels like a step deeper into the unknown.
