Planet of the Apes Slot - Review

This wild creation from NetEnt comes with three different Free Spins modes, plus exciting effects that will make players go ape. See what the fuss is about now by monkeying around on the Slot online for free or play for real money wins.

Slot theme

The Planet of the Apes Slot is based on the dramatic films, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and it features characters from the movies. Caesar and Koba, star apes in Rise and Dawn, appear here as high-paying symbols. So do Caroline, Charles, and Dodge from Rise, and Malcolm, Dreyfus, and Ellie from Dawn.

One of the aspects that separates this from other Slots is that there are two halves to the reels: the left side represents Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the right side is for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Symbols

The following are values for five-symbol winning combinations:

• The Rise of the Planet of the Apes Scatter gives a 1000x multiplier
• The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Scatter gives a 1000x multiplier
• The Rise Wild gives a 600x multiplier
• The Dawn Wild gives a 600x multiplier
• The Rise Caesar symbol gives a 600x multiplier
• The Dawn Caesar symbol gives a 600x multiplier
• The Rise Koba symbol gives a 400x multiplier
• The Dawn Koba symbol gives a 400x multiplier
• The Caroline, Charles, Dodge, Malcolm, Dreyfus and Ellie symbols all give a 180x multiplier
• 10 to Ace symbols give an 80x multiplier

Bonus

Free Spins

There are three types of Free Spins you can win in Planet of the Apes – Rise Free Spins, Dawn Free Spins and Multiple Free Spins, with both types together. In Rise Free Spins, players get 10 Free Spins and all Wilds are collected until they are used on the last spin. In Dawn Free Spins, players get 15 Free Spins and they can pick up symbols that combine for up to three extra spins, up to three more Wilds and anything from a 2x to a 5x multiplier.

Multiple Free Spins are activated when players spin three Scatter symbols on both the Dawn and Rise reels. Rise Free Spins are activated with three or more Rise Scatter symbols and Dawn spins are activated with three or more Dawn Scatter symbols.

Rise and Dawn Bonuses

If the Rise Bonus symbol lands on the first reel of the Rise area, there is an extra coin win for every human and ape symbol on the reels except the Scatter. The Dawn Bonus transforms all human and ape symbols into the same symbol. The Dawn Bonus is triggered when its symbol lands on the last reel.

What our experts like

The clips from the films incorporated into the Slot make it feel like a blockbuster, while the special effects are spectacular too. Seeing apes running across the screen brings another dimension to playing a Casino Slot.

It feels like NetEnt went all out here and we also like the Free Spins, separate reel areas, and the variety of Bonus Features.
