Secret Jungle

There have been games here and there in the online slots world that have been based on different Native American groups. The Secret Jungle slot, a game produced by Realtime Gaming, offers players a fun Aztec jungle concept. The volatility is high in this game, and it's fast-paced as well. There are some real chances for large payouts for players at all stakes in this slot, but you have to be ready for the serious swings that can come along with that. If you aren't used to titles with a larger variance like this, then you'll probably want to pick a smaller bet size than what you're more used to.

Betting and Format

This is a title designed from the ground up to offer an action-oriented experience, and that's why there are 50 paylines maximum available across five reels and three horizontal rows. That's a layout that's very dense with payout possibilities, but you should make sure that you don't drop below the maximum of 50 paylines because doing will will lower your average win per session by dropping down the RTP as well.

You can pick total bet sizes per line, and that goes from $0.01 to $5 apiece. With all 50 lines available, this lends itself to a betting range of $0.50 to $250 per spin, which is enough for virtually everyone at all levels of play.

Wild Symbols and Jackpot Payouts

The golden idol symbol with green accents is the wild symbol in this slot. You'll see that it appears on every one of the five reels, and you'll also see that it counts for everything but the scatters. Five of a kind of this symbol is worth a huge 8,888x top jackpot. What's more is that even just getting four of a kind is worth 5,000x, which is several times larger than the top payout in many games. Prizes of 500x and 50x are yours for three of a kind and two of a kind of this symbol as well.

The wild symbol gives a tremendous amount of value, but it helps with the other winning combinations as well by giving out multipliers. Any winning combination with a minimum of one wild symbol awards players a 3x multiplier on that payout.

Scattered Pyramids and Free Spins

The pyramid is the scatter, and two of a kind gives a 1x win no matter where they appear on the reels. Three or more awards players free spins. You'll be given eight, 18 or 88 free turns for three, four or five of the free spins. You'll start with a multiplier of 1x if you use three scatters to trigger the feature, but it's 2x for four or five.

During this feature, a re-trigger of three or more scatters on the game board adds three free spins to your total. However, it also increases the multiplier by a factor of one. You can re-trigger up to eight times total for multipliers as high as 10x total. This is obviously an enormous amount of value that can be had here, and it's one of the big contributors to the high volatility of the game as a whole.

Other Payouts and Prizes

Some other great pays can be had as well. Five of the woman gets 1,000x, or 3,000x with a wild, and you can also earn the same payouts for five of the warrior symbol. The jaguar gets you 500x (or 1,500x with a wild) for five, and all three of these symbols will get you wins for two of a kind or more.

The gold coins and the intricate piece of pottery with two handles will get you the same win of 300x (or 900x with a wild) for five of a kind combinations. From there, the card rank wins pay out 200x (or 600x) for five on an activated payline with the A, K and Q symbols, and the pays drop in half to 100x (or 300x) for the J, 10 or 9.

Our Thoughts

Realtime Gaming has created the Secret Jungle slot in a way that it makes you feel like you are deep under the jungle canopy. It's a title that looks great, and it plays really well with a high-volatility and high-swing style. If you prefer games with smaller swings and a more relaxing approach, then you may want to try a different RTG slot, but this one is a good fit for players who want to try to take down some big payouts instead of trying to stay afloat on small and medium wins.
