Blueprint Gaming has released Kong Even More Money, a new entry in its Kong slot franchise, built around a Collect symbol that expands during the bonus round. The game is now available to the supplier’s operator partners.
The Even More Monkey Bonus Round begins with three spins and a 2×2 Kong Collect symbol. Level Up symbols take Kong through four stages, adding spins and collection power before the symbol reaches 5×5.
The franchise began with King Kong Cash, which introduced the cash-collecting ape and has since become one of Blueprint Gaming’s strongest-performing series, according to the company. James Raraty, Blueprint Gaming’s product roadmap manager, described the 2×2-to-5×5 expansion as the new game’s bonus-round centrepiece.
Three Feature Upgrade Pots are filled by red, blue and green Bonus Scatter symbols. They may activate separately or together on any spin, applying a multiplier, loading the reels with extra Cash Prizes and Level Up symbols, or adding rows through the Green Pot.
The Green Pot can expand the action to an 8×5 grid. In the base game, Kong Collect symbols on reel five gather Cash Prizes, while every Banana and Cash Prize symbol contributes to a Banana Pot that eventually triggers the Banana Blitz pick feature.
Raraty said the pots alter how each bonus starts, depending on the colours that have filled, with players able to enter with extra rows, a multiplier or reels carrying additional Cash Prizes.
