ABOUT
When it comes to a contest of strength, a grown man will lose to a Silverback Gorilla 20 times over. These creatures can be extremely aggressive if threatened, which is why one should not mess with their temper. Luckily, players get to observe the majestic primate behind the screen of a game called Gorilla Mayhem where triggering them might be the sign of a good harvest.
Featuring definitive visuals from Pragmatic Play and a hefty jackpot worth 5000x the bet, Gorilla Mayhem slot offers players a fresh perspective on the animal kingdom.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Gorilla Mayhem drops players directly into the deep tropical jungle where a machete would come in handy judging by how thick the bushes are. Each animal featured in the game is immaculately done, with attention to detail paid to every one of them. Animals in this game all express different emotions, making the game feel more alive and diverse. The Gorilla, being the King of Kings, is the highest both in figure and pay, and it is worth 4x the stake for a 5-of-a-kind.
Gorilla Mayhem comes with a 5x4 grid configuration and 1024 win ways. The RTP seems inviting, sitting at a comfortable 96.5%, which is higher compared to most other games. As expected, the volatility is also high, but this is mostly due to the massive max win of 5000x the bet.
The game features 2 Wild symbols. One is the regular Wild, which is just a normal bolded symbol that appears on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 to substitute for any symbols aside from Scatter. The second is the Golden Gorilla Wild symbol, which also appears on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 but only substitutes for the highest paying Gorilla symbol. When the special Wilds appear with 2 or 3 gorilla heads, they will add a multiplier of 1x, 2x, or 3x the stake to the winning.
The Azure Crystal is the scatter in the Gorilla Mayhem slot. Gathering anywhere from 3, 4, or 5 of them rewards players with 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. While the bonus round is active, getting an extra 2, 3, 4, and 5 scatters will reward players with another 5, 10, 15, and 20 free spins.
Gorilla Mayhem also has a special progressive feature. In the bonus round, regular wilds and golden gorilla wilds will be collected on a tracker on the right side of the screen. Each wild accounts for 1 gorilla head and when 40 are collected, the game progresses to the next level. On level 1, each golden gorilla wild will randomly have values from 1x, to 2x and 3x multipliers. On level 2, this range of value is narrowed down to 2x and 3x. While on level 3, the wilds will only have 3x multipliers. Additionally, for each level reached, the game rewards players with an extra +3 free spins.
Last but not least, players can choose the bonus buy option at 80x the stake for 2, 3, or 5 scatters to land and trigger the bonus round.
Roshtein’s Take
With progressive multiplier, extra free spins with each bonus round level up, and retriggering free spins, Gorilla Mayhem feels like it was made specifically for me. I have nothing but adoration for this game. My favorite moments playing this game are experimenting with the bonus, as they can add up as a result of the huge chain reaction formed by free spins and become massive wins that seem to appear out of nowhere.
