The set up here will be familiar to anyone who has seen the TV show - the reels are set against the famous jungle camp. Instead of playing cards, all the symbols relate to the show as you’ll see grubs, pans, crocodiles, hats and campfires. More rewarding are the jungle throne, Kiosk Keith and Ant and Dec.
The best of the Ant and Dec symbols pays 66.6 times your total stake if you land 5 on a payline. The I’m A Celebrity logo is the wild - it replaces everything bar the scatter and bonus and pays 250 times your stake if you land 5 across a payline. There are 5 bonus features on offer in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here:
Critter Chaos feature - this is triggered at random when a snake slithers across the reels. You’ll then be awarded 5 free spins. Any wilds that land here will be locked in place for the duration of the feature.
Kiosk Keith Free Spins feature - this is triggered by landing 3, 4 or 5 of the money bag scatter. As well as a payout equal to 3, 20 or 100 times your total stake, you’ll also be awarded 10 free spins. These are played on a new rolling reel set. After a winning spin, a Closed shutter will remove the successful symbols and new ones drop in their place. The process is repeated as long as a new a winning combination is created. Each successive rolling reels win boosts a multiplier which starts at 1x but can reach 5x. The multiplier resets after a winless free spin.
Bushtucker Trial Bonus feature - land a Bushtucker star on the middle position of a reel and it becomes activated and turn gold. Once all 5 reels are active, you will trigger this feature. Choose a trial and try and win gold stars for the camp. The more stars you collect, the better the prizes. Awards of up to 450 times your average total stake are on offer here.
Furthermore, you can activate the Letters from Home Bonus feature randomly during a trial – this feature can reward you with all prizes for that particular trial, apply a 2x multiplier, give you a cash bonus or let you access the Treat for Camp Bonus feature. Here, you pick from cloches to win more cash bonuses.
As you’d expect from a big TV tie-in, the design here has a glossy feel. The sound and imagery will be instantly recognisable to fans of the show. The features aren’t bad. We found it a little frustrating though, landing a seemingly endless succession of 2 scatter spins but rarely going on to land the all-important bonus-triggering third.
The Kiosk Keith Free Spins feature do offer some decent potential when they do hit though, as do the randomly activated Critter Chaos feature. Just like the TV show, you’ll need staying power and patience aplenty here.
If you’re a fan of Ant and Dec and the creepy jungle challenges then you should find plenty to like in this slot game version of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. If you’ve never understood the fuss, you’ll likely find this slot game a bit baffling. If you like games based on television shows, 24 by iSoftBet and Game of Thrones by Microgaming are worth playing.
