Epic Ape Online Slot Goes Live

0 Comments   Email   Print

Playtech had announced the Epic Ape online slot a little over a month ago. The game is now live at Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino and Casino Tropez. Epic Ape follows the slots engine of two immensely popular slot games, which are Buffalo Blitz and Dragon Champions. The slot game has 6 reels, 4 rows and an all ways format that gives 4,096 Ways to Win.

The reels are set in a dense jungle that is the habitat of the great ape. The ape is the highest paying symbol and it can appear stacked on all reels. The other high paying symbols are jungle creatures big and small. They include leopard, panther, chameleon and frog. All high symbols start paying from a combination of two symbols. The low symbols are the playing card icons. Given the online slots structure, you cannot expect very high line payouts. The top payout is 300 times the line bet for six ape symbols. The diamond is the wild symbol that appears on all reels except the first one. As usual it does not substitute for the Free Games logo.

Three or more Free Games logo symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the free spins feature. During the feature the wild symbol also becomes a multiplier. It will multiply payouts by a randomly decided multiplier that can be 2x, 3x or 5x. The number of free spins awarded depends on the number of triggering symbols. Three symbols give you 8 free spins, four symbols give you 15 free spins, five symbols give you 25 free spins and six symbols and six symbols give you a whopping 100 free spins. The free spins can be retriggered infinitely. In the case of a retrigger even two symbols will award 5 free spins. Thereafter the retrigger works in the same way as the original trigger.

Visually Epic Ape is not as awesome as the other two online slots that preceded it. Dragon Champions has been at second most played game at Omni Casino for several weeks now. Only time will tell whether Epic Ape will make the list of the top ten games that is posted in the weekly online casino newsletter. Players trying out the new game should keep this in mind. For the big wins you will need to trigger the free spins and be lucky to hit the retrigger a few times.
