A slick slot with high adventure in Egypt’s deserts with some swashbuckling exploits where you can win up to 6250x your bet? Bring it on! The Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx slot is a game with ancient artefacts to hunt and plenty of loot. Let’s hit the dunes!
Microgaming has teamed up with Stormcraft Studios on this game to produce this legend of a slot. Stay sharp for the free spins, rolling reels, a multiplier trail and more. And there’s even a win boost feature and a second chance re-spin too. Let´s check it out, shall we?
Normally we´d expect Jungle Jim to be in a jungly game like the Ivory Citadel slot but hey ho, I guess he gets about (lucky for us).
Look and Feel
Jungle Jim is a angular-jawed bloke who has been around the block: some of you slot fans might already have spun the reels in his El Dorado slot.
Now he’s leading a new adventure in this stunning looking game. Some big money has obviously been lavished on producing a top-notch game with 3D graphics and a real foot tapping selection of music. We’d say this game is as good looking as the Conan slot – that’s another game with a square jawed dude in it, by the way.
The back drop to the reels is a star-filled desert night while the reels themselves are a detailed stone monument inscribed with the markings of a Multiplier Trail.
Game Play
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to plunder some ancient prizes and try and make a mint over 4 rows, 5 reels and a whopping 50 pay-lines. That´s double the number that you´ll find on the North Storm slot which should give you an idea of how this game plays.
You´ll need to stay sharp though my friends as those reels can grow when you trigger the Multiplier Trail!
The top value icon is Jim : he’s a solid looking fella- he look like he´d be good to share a tinnie or two with.
There’s a 10x your wager boost for you if you land 5 of the Jim icons.
Then there’s an ancient Egyptian book, a tomb and a decorated vase to complete the high-value icons.
4 gigantic uncut gems, part of this game’s treasure trove, make up the sparkly lower value icons.
The Wild is the game’s logo and subs for all symbols, except the golden sphinx and the Scatter.
A complicated archaeological thingamajig is the game’s Scatter.
The Bonuses
And to spice the proceeding up a bit, this adventurous slot comes with Rolling Reels. Every time you make a winning combo, the winning icons will explode into a puff of red sahara dust and the other remaining icons will drop down into the vacuum to create a new combination and, of course, the potential to hook another win from your first win.
Better still you will keep those reels avalanching until you stop making wins. I love the way you roll, Jim!
This game packs a Multiplier Trail with the Rolling Reels mechanism. Each consecutive win you make increases the multiplier by 1x. But careful: once you start to lose you can quickly lose your hard-won multipliers. If your winning streak ends you can make use of the Second Chance Re-spin.
There are 5 levels of the Multiplier Trail. Kick-off with a 2x multiplier, and if you luck-in and make it to the third level of the trail you will expand the reels to a 5 x 5 grid.
The Second Chance Re-spin will let you make 3 losing spins in a row but when you activate this nifty feature you gain a single re-spin to get you back on track.
Win Booster
Activate the Win Booster on the left hand side of the reels and you will unlock an additional scatter that will increase your chance of triggering the free spins. By 9 times! You will need to pay for the privilege however. This mode quadruples your bet, so use it carefully or set your original bet at a modest level that you can afford.
Conclusion
Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx slot is a great addition to the series, although this time there’s not a vine in sight! There’s no beating the rolling reels, a juicy multiplier trail and a second chance to keep those coins rolling in! And with graphics that fancy, you’ll be well entertained as you play for that barking mad 6,250 x your bet win potential.
