Jumanji

By Becky M. | Updated 17 July 2026

If you grew up watching Robin Williams get sucked into a supernatural board game, you already know what this is. Jumanji, released by NetEnt in June 2018, takes the 1995 film and rebuilds it as a five-reel video slot with a diamond-shaped grid and a board game bonus that actually captures the spirit of the original. This isn’t a lazy licence job. The board game mechanic sits at the heart of the slot, and everything else – the random base game features, the four free spins modes – feeds into or out of it.

RTP is 96.33%, volatility is medium, and the reel layout runs 3-4-5-4-3, giving the grid a shape you don’t see on most slots. It rewards patience more than nerve, and after seven years on the market it’s clearly not going anywhere.

Quick Facts

Technical Features

Five reels, 36 fixed paylines, that 3-4-5-4-3 diamond grid. The varying row heights keep the payline structure interesting and give the layout a look you won’t confuse with anything else. Bets run from 10p to £200 per spin – wide enough for most bankrolls. RTP is 96.33% with no confirmed reduced variants. Hit frequency is 24.6%, so roughly one in four spins returns something, which fits the slot’s lower-risk feel.

The headline max win is 100,800x your stake. It looks enormous. It is enormous – and almost entirely theoretical. With medium volatility and a hit frequency this high, the slot is built for smaller, steadier returns. The 504x max multiplier within the features is a more honest picture of bonus potential. Treat the big number as the mathematical outer edge, not a target.

NetEnt built this for desktop, tablet and mobile, and in testing it runs cleanly across all three.

Design and Theme

NetEnt have done right by the source material. The game board sits behind the reels, half-visible through jungle foliage, with a persistent sense that something’s about to crawl out of the undergrowth. The colour palette is warm and earthy – deep greens, aged wood – and the soundtrack leans into the film’s ominous adventure tone without overdoing it.

The movie’s animals populate the reels, and the whole thing has a hand-crafted quality that’s held up better than you’d expect for a 2018 release. It’s a licensed Sony Pictures property and the production reflects that. No clip-art energy here.

Symbols and Paytable

Low-value symbols are the standard J, Q, K and A royals. The high-value symbols are the film’s animals: crocodiles, pelicans, rhinos and others. The lion tops the paytable at 14x your total stake for five on a payline – modest by modern standards, but it fits the slot’s steady-drip payout model.

Wilds substitute for everything except the scatter. The scatter is the Jumanji Board symbol, and landing three or more is your ticket into the main event.

Bonus Features

Four random features can fire on any base game spin: respins, wild reels, guaranteed wins, and additional modifiers. They show up often enough to keep dead stretches short, which is part of why that 24.6% hit rate holds.

The real draw is the Board Game bonus. Three or more scatters drop you onto the Jumanji board, where you roll dice and move a token around the track. Each square can pay out a mystery feature, extra dice rolls, cash prizes, or entry into one of four free spins modes:

Sticky Vines gives you respins with sticky wilds that lock in place. Monkey Trouble shuffles symbols and throws random wilds onto the grid. Thunderstorm drops wilds from the top of the reels. Mantula adds spinning wilds that move around the grid. Each mode plays differently, and which one you land on depends on where the dice take you.

There’s no bonus buy option. You wait for the scatters like everyone else.
