See no evil, hear no evil

It’s almost an assault on the senses - there’s an awful lot going on when you start playing this Blueprint slot! The play board is full of bright colours, and the animal symbols all look pretty realistic, though you might not want to come across them in a dark alley. The background of each window is earthy brown, with a wooden border, and the overall background is very much that of a rainforest, with green plants, trees and leaves and some water running through too.

The music is a nice touch too - it’s the sort of thing you’d expect to hear on a jungle-themed game like this, and it definitely adds to the exciting atmosphere. Blueprint games are often quite immersive and engaging, and Gorilla Gold Megaways is definitely not an exception - from the rich colours to the rhythmic music, you won’t want to take a breather!

Opening the windows

What sets Gorilla Gold Megaways apart from other slots is the four windows - each one encompasses what would normally be the play board in itself. The four windows all have six reels each, but there’s no guarantee how many symbols will be on the reels at any time. As Gorilla Gold Megaways utilises the Megaways feature, each spin offers you up to 470,596 ways to win - up to 117,649 on each window. Wins are awarded on left to right adjacent symbols regardless of size.

This slot has cascading symbols too - each winning symbol forms part of a reaction, with cascading symbols from above the reels or from the right of the top symbols coming down to replace them, as they disappear. There are quite a few different symbols to find, from the letters and numbers you’ll recognise form other slots, to plenty of wild jungle animals. Unsurprisingly, the gorilla is the most valuable, but you should look out for the tiger, crocodile and snake too!

Striking Gorilla Gold on the bonus

Get four or more scatter symbols on any of the four windows, and you’ll trigger the Gorilla Gold Bonus! Here, you’ll have the chance to spin the bonus wheel to win up to 35 free spins or 30 super spins. An unlimited win multiplier will be active on both - during free spins, it’ll increase by one after every cascade, while the positions above the reels can reveal more scatter symbols to bring you extra free spins!

If you’re going in for super spins instead, the multiplier still increases by one after every cascade, while you have the chance to collect Golden Gorillas to unlock extra windows and even more spins! After 30 Golden Gorillas, you’ll have an extra three windows and a cumulative total of 15 additional spins too. There’s also the free spins gamble feature - if you’d like, you can gamble the number of spins you’re starting with. Whether you lose or win, you’ll simply be awarded the relevant number of spins - just select ‘Take Spins’ to be awarded them and get going!

Conclusion

Unless you prefer more basic, stripped-back games, Gorilla Gold Megaways is good to try out. Yes, there’s a lot going on here, but it’s all part of the fun - you never know just what you’re going to walk away with, and with a high volatility, you could get some huge wins. Just be warned - you can never quite predict what’s going to happen with this gorilla...
