NetEnt Releases Highly Anticipated Jumanji Slot

Since the teaser was released earlier this year, everybody’s eyes in the iGaming world have been on the release of NetEnt’s slot based on the original Jumanji movie.

Despite a recent remake starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, NetEnt have gone back to the roots of the story with a slot based on the hugely popular movie starring Robin Williams as Alan Parrish, who was sucked into a mysterious board game as a child.

Pushing boundaries

The interesting part about the Jumanji slot is that it moves the genre into a whole new direction, blending board game and video slot elements to create an experience like nothing slot fans have seen before.

Henrik Fagerlund, Chief Product Officer at NetEnt, spoke of the release:

“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!”

Gameplay

There are four features in the slot that echo scenes from the movie based on rolls of the dice in the board game.

Wild Stampede sees rhinos stampede across the screen adding extra wilds, while Monkey Mayhem guarantees a winning outcome, Monsoon Wilds will cover up to two reels entirely in wilds for the chance at big wins, and Sticky Vines stick all winning symbols and wilds to the reels for a respin.

NetEnt are known for being the first to move slot games into a new direction, and they’ve done it again with Jumanji, a game that is a must for any true slot fan.
