Blueprint Gaming launches King Kong Cash: Even Bigger Bananas 2

Blueprint Gaming has released King Kong Cash: Even Bigger Bananas 2, the latest instalment in its long-running jungle-themed slot series, the studio announced on 26th September 2024.

The title is built on a 6x4 grid with 4,096 ways to win, featuring Kong alongside other jungle characters and a set of themed bonus symbols.

Updated collect mechanic

The series’ familiar Kong upgrade system has been reworked to include five enhanced cash collect symbols: Lock and Spin, Win Stepper, Cash Match, Super Collect and Banana Blitz. As with the previous game in the series, upgrades unlocked during play carry over into the base game and free spins round.

Any Banana, Golden Monkey or Golden Barrel symbols that are not collected are instead added to a new coconut pot displayed at the top of the screen. This pot can be unlocked in base play by triggering Banana Blitz, and remains available during free spins.

New Super Free Spins feature

Triggering Banana Blitz also gives players the chance to land one of three Kong variants, along with access to a new Super Free Spins feature. This awards one of six modifiers, such as a Boost Trail, five additional free spins, or extra Golden Monkeys added to the reels, before the main free spins round begins.

The standard Free Spins round is triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols, awarding 10 free spins with unlocked Kong symbols active, plus a trail mechanic that can boost spins and multipliers. Landing four, five or six scatters also awards a cash prize of up to 500 times the player’s bet.

Company comment

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events at Blueprint Gaming, said the sequel was designed to build on the success of the earlier title in the series by offering additional ways to win while retaining features associated with the franchise’s popularity, including a reworked take on collect symbols and the new Banana Blitz mechanic.
