Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild Slot

Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild is a beautifully rendered wild animal-themed game by Net Entertainment. The lifelike visuals and enchanting sounds go well with random base game features and a free spin round, to provide a well-balanced online slot game designed for more experienced players.

Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols

The animations and graphics in this online slot are a mark of the kind of games we expect from the halls of NetEnt. The 3D designs of the symbols and background create a lifelike slot experience.

Explore the deep, dark jungles of India. Here, the reels are framed by old ruins and pitched on a background set of dense Asian rainforest undergrowth. The sounds of the wild are evident in the game, and the tribal drum and whistle tune complete the ambience needed to bring the jungle alive in your home.

The game symbols remain thematic, including the five main character animals. These comprise a Bengal Tiger, an Asian Elephant, a Bear, a Crocodile, and a King Cobra. The lower-value symbols include superbly rendered card deck symbols that feel like they are a part of the backdrop.

There is no Wild symbol in this game, but there is a flower scatter symbol that plays a part in triggering the main feature.

Wild Game Mechanics

Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild is played over five reels that can be played from between 0.20 and 100 per spin. There are 243 ways to win in the base game and 1,024 ways in the free spins feature. Here, combinations are won by landing 3 or more matching symbols anywhere on adjacent reels running from the leftmost reel to the right. There are no set of pay line patterns.

The RTP is 96.47%, and it has a medium to high variance, meaning that wins do not occur all that frequently. Free Spins will balance the game out, as big wins can be hauled in during that feature.

Be sure to make use of some of the shortcut controls. For instance, the top bet can be placed at the click of a button. Simply click Max Bet to change the bet up for a spin or two without interrupting your default bet setting.

If you would like the machine to spin the reels for you, you can set an automated instruction by clicking the Auto Play button. You can then select that the machine spins the reels for you between 10 and 1,000 times.

Special Features

True to the nature of NetEnt, this casino game offers a fine variety of features to keep you satisfied in both the base game and during the main feature.

Symbol Extension

You will find that butterflies take a liking to specific symbols now and then. If that particular symbol is involved in a winning combination, it will expand to fill the reel in the hope of a bigger win haul.

Butterfly Boost

Butterflies might randomly flutter around the reel set, settling randomly on 1 to 3 symbols that will all expand to fill the reel they are on. These will then play a part in a guaranteed winning combo.

1,024 Ways Free Spin

You can trigger free spins with an added row of symbols on the reels, by landing 3 or more scatter symbols. The bigger reel set means that the potential winning increases from 243 ways to 1,024 ways instead.

Triggering with 3 scatters awards the free spins, but triggering with four symbols grants free spins + 15x bet win, and triggering with five symbols awards free spins + 50x bet win.

You will now be able to choose your feature by selecting one of the five featured animals. The game will yield spins in the following ways:

• Tiger awards four free spins
• Elephant awards eight free spins
• Bear awards 12 free spins
• Crocodile awards 16 free spins
• Cobra awards 20 free spins

The lower the number of free spins offered, the higher the risk run of not making wins, but the payouts offered are higher than those with a higher number of free spins.

Play ‘On The Go’

NetEnt brings the wild jungle spirit to your Android and iOS mobile device so that you can rustle up a few wins while taking your lunch break or commuting on the train, etc.

The gameplay and features remain intact, and the high definition graphics still manage to ‘pop’ on the smaller screen. The control interface is changed to suit touch screenplay, where controls like ‘spin’ and ‘bet adjust’ are at easy reach for your thumbs.

CasinoWow Game Verdict

If animal-themed games are your passion, then this beautiful NetEnt Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild slot is a must-try. The higher variance may mean that you need to be a little wiser with your bets, as the gameplay is a little more on the risky side. In this way, one of the NetEnt casino bonuses might help you with your hard-earned money.

If you manage to trigger the free spins, you are in for a treat with the increased reel size, and the random base game features do well to pass the time by until the free spins are unlocked.
