Lightning Gorilla Review
After the triumph of Lightning Shelong, Lightning Box decided to bring back the popular respin mechanic but transport it to the jungle.
Lightning Gorilla plays on 5-reels with 40 paylines and the amazing Lightning Spins followed by fixed jackpots. If you love straightforward slots with fun mechanics, then stick around for this one.
Design
In the distance, there's a colourful jungle in the distance with fireflies and other little creatures moving about. It's nothing too spectacular but shows the detail put in from the developers.
On the reels, you can expect typical jungle animals such as toucans, leopards, gorillas and slots. The designs of these animals are definitely leaning towards realism but still look great on the reels.
As for music, there's a funky beat with jungle noises that fits in perfectly. It's similar to the music that you'd find in Crash Bandicoot as it has the right mix of adventure and excitement.
Gameplay
During the base game, there isn't anything out of the ordinary as it all kicks in during the respins. However, once you get to respins, there's nothing overly complicated.
Anything you may need can be found at the bottom of the screen with a drop-down menu with additional needs such as payables and instructions.
Win Potential
Sadly, this is where the slot begins to lose us as the win potential is below average. The RTP is respectable at 96.18% and high volatility is expected.
However, the maximum win of 1,250x your stake is ridiculous for an online slot and for a high volatility slot. It's not game-ending but it may leave a sour taste in your mouth.
Our Verdict
Simple and fun are the best ways to describe Lightning Gorilla. The core gameplay is perfect for newcomers or seasoned players who prefer games without loads of features.
Unfortunately, the only thing that lets down this slot is the win potential being quite low. Despite this, we recommend giving this slot a go as the Lightning Spins can be extremely rewarding when they show up.
