Jumanji Slot Review

Jumanji is an online slot by NetEnt with an RTP of 96.33% and low to medium volatility. This slot is based on the old movie with Robin Williams—a true classic.

How to Play Jumanji Slot Machine

The Jumanji slot machine is a brand new (at the time of writing) movie slot machine from NetEnt. This game is perfect for those who are fans of the original movie. It is easy to jump into too, with the minimum bet being just 10p, and the maximum £100.

The layout of this slot is unlike anything you will have encountered before (if you are new to the world of slots). This is because NetEnt have ditched the traditional reel structure. Instead, the reels are in a diamond shape. This actually plays in well with some of the features in the game, so no complaints here.

The game is based around the original version of Jumanji, and it feels just like a Jumanji-themed slot should feel. You have awesome sound effects, and the art is amazing. The features, even though they are ones that you have probably seen in NetEnt games before, also tie into the theme too. Lots of effort went into design.

If you play on a mobile device, then you will be enjoying the best experience that the slot offers. However, we are sure you knew this, NetEnt have always pumped out decent mobile slots.

Since this is a slot designed for beginners, don’t expect anything too crazy. It is fun to play, but you are not going to be navigating a lot of complicated features. For the most part, your only interaction will be spinning the reels.

Jumanji Slot Machine Bonus Features

There are several features built into this slot, many of which can occur during the base game. In fact, they can occur randomly on any spin (bar one of the random features)

  • Monsoon wilds: up to five of the reels can be turned fully wild.
  • Monkey Mayhem: the monkeys pop up and rearrange the reels to create new combinations.
  • Wild Stampede: wilds spread across the reels.
  • Sticky Vines: occurs on winning spins only. The win may be randomly locked into place and you get a free respin.

There is also a bonus feature built into the game. This occurs when you get three scatters on the reels. It is a feature which ties into the whole theme very well. The feature almost seems as if it is a cross between a board game and a slot machine, with a whole host of free spins on offer. It is a shame that this is unlikely to be a feature that you are triggering all that much, because it really is going to be a delightful amount of fun!

Jumanji Slot Machine Tips

The Jumanji slot is erring on the side of having a higher volatility, with a larger house edge. This is because we have no doubt that the licence for the game was expensive for NetEnt to obtain.

This means that you can’t expect regular wins. When they do pop up, you will get a larger sum of cash, but it can be a long wait. Honestly, we play this game for the enjoyment of playing the slot machine themed around Jumanji and nothing more than that. Keep your bets small and soak in the atmosphere. You may come across a larger prize on occasion, but don’t count on it.

Summary - What Do We Think?

All in all, Jumanji is a fantastic slot machine. We are actually impressed with the amount of work NetEnt have put into this game to make it seems ‘original’. It took them under six months from obtaining the licence to releasing this game, and yet everything about it seems ‘right’. This is going to be a surefire hit. It is certainly going to be a game you will end up loving.
