Treasures of Kongar

The Treasures of Kongar is a new addition to the famous subgenre of jungle-themed slot games, especially with giant apes as protagonists… or antagonists. The eponymous Kongar is a mighty gorilla that rules over the jungle and hides immense wealth in a derelict ancient stone temple somewhere in the depths of the lush greenery.

There isn’t much more to the game’s scenery than greenery, stone, and gold. Treasures of Kongar lacks a storyline or plot, so it doesn’t aim to be an epic journey, but rather a casual treasure-hunting adventure. We don’t know who Kongar is or how he got all that gold. Did he discover the ancient stone temple with all the gold inside that’s been concealed for centuries, or did he get the gold through some nefarious means and then hid it in the derelict temple in the middle of the jungle? Well, very few will care as long as we spin the reels of Treasures of Kongar and score some massive wins.

The graphics of Treasures of Kongar aren’t quite top-notch, but they are still decent and pleasant to the eye. The color pattern revolves around greenish and greyish shades of jungle vegetation and wet stone, which nicely conveys the atmosphere of a foggy early morning in the depths of the jungle. However, during free spins, the scenery changes dramatically as we enter the ancient temple and find ourselves surrounded by Kongar’s pure gold that shines as bright as the sun.

The soundtrack is both chill and exciting at the same time, which I think is perfect both for a slot game and a jungle theme like this one. It combines an exciting drum beat and a relaxing, mysterious pan flute, which really adds to the adventurous atmosphere of the game.

Even though Treasures of Kongar is a high volatility game, its regular spins are still surprisingly generous and land smaller wins quite frequently. This almost led me to believe that it’s a lower volatility game, actually. But when I made my way into the free spins, saw how quickly they can produce some massive wins, and found out that the max win is a hefty 15,000x, I knew where the game truly stands. It also boasts a solid RTP of 96.2%, which is high enough to appease even the most discerning slot players.

Since this is a highly volatile game, you should consider trying out the Treasures of Kongar slot demo before playing the game for real money. It’s always a good idea to play free games first, as you get to familiarize yourself with the mechanics and features and develop your own strategy for playing, without any risk.

The Treasures of Kongar slot game takes place on a fairly standard 5×4 grid without any special reels or rows. It uses 10 regular paying symbols and 3 special symbols — the scatter, the Gemstone, and the Kongar Coin. Scatters and Gemstones land during regular spins, while Kongar Coins are randomly triggered by the Gemstone. The game also includes free spins, which are called Kongar’s Riches spins. The regular paying symbols and their payouts are displayed in the table below.

Treasures of Kongar may not be an overly complex game, but it does include some unique features that set the tone of its gameplay. It doesn’t have the typical wild symbols but instead has Gemstones and Kongar coins that behave as such, besides other effects. There are also special free spins, which this time are called Kongar’s Riches spins. Let’s have a closer look at all of these.

Kongar Symbol – Although it’s basically a regular paying symbol, the Kongar symbol acts in a slightly different manner. Unlike other symbols, it can be upgraded to give a higher payout and pays even when only two of them land. It gets temporarily upgraded for the duration of a single spin when Kongar Coins land, and it’s permanently upgraded during free spins.

Gemstone Collection – A shining red Gemstone may occasionally land on the reels, and when it does, Kongar collects it, and his one eye turns bright red. Aside from being a sinister addition to Kongar’s already threatening appearance, how does it impact the game? It may or may not trigger Kongar coins to drop on the reels, which is entirely random. It also acts as a wild and replaces any regular playing symbol to contribute to winning combinations.

Kongar Coins – When the red Gemstone does trigger the Kongar coins feature, Kongar grabs the playing grid with his mighty hands and shakes it until the coins drop on the reels. They come in quantities of either 2 or 3, with multipliers of 2x, 3x, or none. Their multipliers are added together and applied to all winning combinations of that spin. They never overlap with Gemstones, scatters, or Kongar symbols, and only land in place of regular paying symbols. During free spins, they come in quantities of 3, 4, or 5. Kongar coins also act as wilds and replace any regular paying symbols, and upgrade all Kongar symbols on the grid.

Kongar’s Riches Free Spins – When 3, 4, or 5 scatters land, they trigger 8, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively. All Kongar symbols are permanently upgraded for the duration of the free spins, and Gemstones do not land, but Kongar Coins appear randomly, and this time, they come in quantities of 3, 4, or 5, with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x. During free spins, they’re guaranteed to carry multipliers. Scatters do land during Kongar’s Riches spins, and they can extend them, with 1 additional spin granted for every scatter that lands, up to a maximum of 100 free spins total. Surprisingly, I didn’t find the option to buy free spins as available in many other games.
