Planet of the Apes Slot Review
War for the Planet of the Apes has been one of the summer’s smash hits, already taking $500 million at the box office, a figure that is sure to rise with the film yet to be released in some parts of the world.
Not for the first time an online slot which is technically rich and graphically stunning was released to coincide with the blockbuster movie but, unlike many other online slots, the Planet of the Apes slot main screen consists of two similar grids which represent two different parts of the series – Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
Each grid is formed of five reels and three rows, with 20 different pay lines assigned to them. Winning combinations are created from at least three matching symbols, placed on neighbouring reels, starting from the left.
Regular, low paying symbols are almost the same for each grid and they are represented by playing cards valued from 10 to Ace. Medium and high paying symbols are shown as portraits of the main heroes and some of the apes. Special symbols including Wilds, which take form of the series logo in yellow and red colour, and Scatters that are shown as each part’s logo, are the ones you really want to see.
The smallest possible bet size on the Planet of the Apes slot is just £/€0.20 while the maximum spin can be £/€200. Such a wide selection of bet values is certain to cater to every player’s needs, that’s penny slot players through to high rollers.
The theoretical RTP (return to player) for the Planet of the Apes Slot, which has been made by NetEnt, is 96.33%. It can be played at Unibet Casino.
Bonus features in Planet of the Apes online slot
Extra features are what make playing video slots an exciting adventure. Apart from already unique dual screen gameplay, NetEnt’s In Planet of the Apes spoils players with a handful of interesting bonuses.
- Dual Feature may trigger randomly in the main game. One symbol will be chosen for each screen (excluding Wild and Scatter), although it can’t be the same for both. Reels will start spinning and every time the symbol drops, it will keep its place. If the symbol drops on the opposite area, it will transfer to the correct one, provided the spot is not already occupied.
- Rise Bonus Feature is triggered only by landing a special symbol on the first reel of Rise screen. An additional coin win will be awarded for every human and ape symbol that appears on the reels.
- Dawn Bonus Feature is triggered only by landing a special symbol on the last reel of Dawn screen. It will transform every human and ape symbol into the same, randomly chosen, regular symbol.
- Stacked Wild Feature activates on the Rise screen when Wilds fully cover a reel. The stack is then duplicated into the corresponding reel on Dawn screen.
- Rise Free Spins are awarded for scoring 3 or more Scatter symbols appearing anywhere in the Rise play area. During the game of 10 free spins the number of Wild symbols that land on each spin are collected. On last spin, all of them are randomly placed on the screen.
- Dawn Free Spins are awarded for scoring 3 or more Scatter symbols appearing anywhere in the Dawn play area. During the game of 15 free spins player will collect 3 different symbols that activate a corresponding meter: Multiplier, Extra Wild and Extra Free Spins. When a matching symbol drops, it fill the meter by 1. When the meter is full, the feature is activated.
With so many options of scoring a win and increasing its value it’s hard to get bored while playing Unibet’s Planet of the Apes online slot. Wait no longer and join the battle for big wins!
