The design team at Microgaming have created some quality visuals in Jungle Jim El Dorado – a ruined ancient temple in a jungle clearing forms the backdrop to the reels which include gemstones, idols, burial masks and chests full of treasure. The high spec, 3D HD visuals look a treat.
Jungle Jim uses the Rolling Reels feature - after every winning spin, the successful symbols are blasted away and replaced by the symbols above for the re-spin that follows. That's not all as each reel roll offers a multiplier which increases with each successive win - manage 4 Rolling Reel wins in a row (good job Jonathan Ross isn't saying that!) in the base game and you can look forward to a 5x multiplier boost.
Land the scatter symbol on reels 1, 2 and 3 and you'll trigger the Free Spins feature - here you'll be sent inside a chamber where you will get 10 free spins. The Rolling Reels are once again in play during the feature, this time with even bigger multipliers on offer. Consecutive Rolling Reel wins will improve your payouts by 3x, 6x, 9x, 12x and even 15x! You can re-trigger the feature so hope to see the scatter for up to 20 free spins.
On the variance scale, Jungle Jim El Dorado sits somewhere in the middle - you won't be waiting ages for a winning spin but there are still opportunities for a decent sized payout. There’s a massive 3,680 times your bet available on each free spin (due to the potential 15x multiplier) so there’s plenty to aim for.
The tropical adventure offers plenty of entertainment - it looks terrific and has features to match. If you like the Rolling Reel game engine, you'll find plenty to enjoy here. Throw in the free spins feature with the potentially massive multipliers and our plucky adventurer can bring the golden riches of El Dorado much closer to home if fortune is smiling. In terms of theme and gameplay, Jungle Jim El Dorado has a lot of similarities to Net Entertainment’s Gonzo’s Quest.
