NetEnt launches much anticipated Jumanji online slot

Online gambling games and software provider NetEnt has at last released its much hyped and anticipated blockbuster online slot Jumanji, themed on the beloved classic film of the same title from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The unique branded 5 reel game combines the classic board game with video slots and unleashes a rhino stampede, wild monkeys, sticky vines and monsoons .

In the original Jumanji film, a long-forgotten board game has the power to unleash chaos. NetEnt brings its own twist to the Jumanji universe by transforming the calamities that befell Alan Parrish into features with slot mechanics.

The game has four random features, a Board Game with four different Free Spins, a Mystery Feature, coins wins, and extra dice rolls (see previous reports).

NetEnt claims that Jumanji is the first of its kind and a new innovation in video slots as the game merges both board game and video slot game elements together. Additionally, the board game includes both free spins and a mystery feature.

High points include:

Wild Stampede: Rhinos will stampede across the screen while the reels spin, adding four to nine Wilds.
Monkey Mayhem: Awards potential wins when the reels have stopped, before all symbols are shuffled randomly to create a guaranteed win
Monsoon Wilds: One or two reels will be completely covered in Wilds while the reels spin.
Sticky Vines: All symbols that are a part of a win and all Wilds from the initial spin (even if they are not part of a win) stick to the reels, and all other symbols spin again.

Henrik Fagerlund, chief product officer of NetEnt, said in a statement Monday:

“The Jumanji movie was a great success and we know it has fans all over the world. Making a slot game true to the fantastic features of the movie has been challenging but most of all great fun. We found a way of incorporating both board game features and all the excitement into a slot game and the game has already been well received by players!”
