Jumanji was a fantasy adventure film released in 1995. It revolves around a board game called Jumanji that thrusts its players into real life adventures many of them featuring wild animals. Earlier this year NetEnt has announced a branded online slot based on this movie. Jumanji is now live at online casinos like InterCasino.

Most players would have seen Jumanji the movie. They will find that the NetEnt video slot is as faithful a recreation of the movie as possible. The artwork resembles a board game set in the room where it was actually played. The pulsating background audio adds to the authenticity. NetEnt has chosen a hexagonal reels structure of 3-4-5-4-3, with which it has achieved success in some earlier titles. There are 36 fixed paylines.

The high paying symbols are lion, rhino, crocodile and pelican, all of which had a role to play in the movie. The low symbols are the playing card icons. The Wild logo is the wild symbol. It does not award line payouts. The Jumanji game box is the scatter symbol. There are a number of features that can be randomly activated in the base game. In the Sticky Vines feature all symbols that are the part of a win and wild symbols stick and the remaining symbols respin. The Monsoon Wilds feature generates one or two wild reels. In the Monkey Mayhem feature payouts are first awarded. Then the symbols on the reels are reshuffled so as to guarantee a win. Payouts are awarded again. In the Wild Stampede feature rhinos rush across the reels adding from 4 to 9 wild symbols.

Three or more scatter symbols trigger the bonus Board Game. You move a token on the board according to rolls of a pair of dice. You will be awarded one of the free spins features. There are four features with different number of free spins. These work essentially as the randomly triggered base game features. If the token lands on the Mystery Feature then a carousel is spun. This will award you one of the free spins features, a coin win up to 10x the bet or two extra dice rolls. Then there are locations that award coin wins and extra rolls. You can win more than one free spins feature when the Board Game is triggered, but cannot win the same feature more than once. The number of dice rolls awarded depends on the number of scatter symbols in the triggering spin to start with.
