Treasures of Kongar

Treasures of Kongar: Slot Overview

In the world of knockoffs, it's not uncommon to see names that are very, suspiciously, close to the famous brands they are copying. Pizza Hot instead of Pizza Hut, Mike instead of Nike, Prongles instead of Pringles, and on it goes. Following in this manner is Play'n GO's online slot Treasures of Kongar. Not exactly Kong, as in the mighty beast King Kong, Kongar is nevertheless an angry ape who likes to roar and look tough. Kongar is also associated with the two key extras: Kongar Riches free spins and the Kongar Coins feature.

Like his famous namesake Kong, Kongar lives in a middle-of-nowhere spot, thick with plant life. Not only does Kongar land on the reels in the form of the highest-paying symbol, but he also peers out over the top of the gaming grid, keeping an eye on players as they set to work. There might not be evidence of much treasure in the base game, but trigger free spins and play moves inside the building behind the reels, which is drenched in gold, glowing loot.

A 5x4 active grid is Kongar's gaming domain, where 1,024 ways to win evaluate combinations of matching symbols that must start from the leftmost reel. Entering the big guy's patch means players choosing a stake of 10 c to $/€100 per game round and crossing their fingers that the 7 out of 10, medium-high volatile math model does not go berserk on them. Treasures of Kongar has been made with five RTP configurations, with the highest possible return value coming in at 96.2%.

The paytable lists regular symbols such as 10-A card ranks, frogs, snakes, crocodiles, leopards, and Kongars. A line of 5 royals pays 0.3 to 0.7 times the bet, while a line of high pays grants 1 to 4 times the bet. However, when Kongar is upgraded, it pays 4 times the bet for a 5 OAK combination. Treasures of Kongar has two wilds: Gemstones, which only appear in the base game, and Kongar Coins, which land in the Kongar Coins and Kongar's Riches features. Wilds substitute for all pay symbols and land on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Treasures of Kongar: Slot Features

Treasures of Kongar's two main features are its Kongar Coins, which are wild multipliers, and Kongar Riches, a free spins round also featuring wild multipliers.

Kongar Coins Feature

The Kongar above the reels collects Gemstones when they land. The Kongar Coins feature can be randomly awarded when a Gemstone is collected. When it does trigger, it awards 2 or 3 Kongar Coins onto the reels, which do not overlap scatters, Gemstones, or Kongar symbols. In the base game, Kongar Coins may reveal an x2 or x3 multiplier, which are added together and applied to all wins. In addition, all Kongar symbols on the reels are upgraded, causing increased payout values.

Kongar's Riches

Hitting 3, 4, or 5 scatters awards 8, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively. More scatters award more initial free spins. During free spins, Kongar symbols are upgraded to their increased payout value. Gemstones do not land during the feature. However, Kongar Coins can be randomly triggered, awarding 3 to 5 Kongar Coins with multipliers of x2, x3, x4, or x5. Multipliers are added together and applied to all wins. Landing a scatter awards an extra free spin, up to a maximum of 100.

Treasures of Kongar: Slot Verdict

If his game is anything to go by, Kongar is the sort of chap who prefers not to beat around the bush but would rather lay out his message in a straightforward, easy-to-grasp manner. At least, that is how Treasures of Kongar played out during the review, which, broadly speaking, boiled down to spinning reels in the hopes of landing Kongar Coins to combine multipliers with winning combinations in order to boost their payout values. Okay, Gemstones appear in the base game, too, but they're just window dressing, really, since landing them may (or may not) trigger a release of Kongar Coins on the reels anyway. Nothing particularly special is generated by Gemstones other than offering a slightly different way of getting Kongar Coins on the reels. Okay, the Kongar symbol values are upgraded, as well, fair dues.

Another good thing about Kongar Coins is that they're wild. One not so good quality about them is that they are not guaranteed to produce a multiplier value when they're on the reels. They do, or they don't. Hopefully, they do because Treasures of Kongar boasts sizable winning potential of 15,000x the bet, and even though there are a lot of ways to win, cramming in a load of Kongar Coin multipliers would be an assist. Kongar Coin multipliers are arguably the main feature; if discounting the Gemstones' will they or won't they tease effect in the base game, and their possible Kongar upgrade ability when Kongar Coins do activate. Don't get Kongar Coins, or don't get much of them, and Treasures of Kongar can be a tad tedious.

Simple but potentially potent is Treasures of Kongar's method of operation. It might, therefore, suit players who aren't fussed about having bags of freaky features in their games and who like the thought of throwing wild multipliers at 1,000+ ways to win alongside a Kong knockoff to see what sort of chest-thumping might occur.
