King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4

The legendary King Kong is back with even more ape-eal, unlockable features, and exciting bonuses. Blueprint Gaming have expanded its King Kong Cash series once more with King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4. 

Just when you thought the bananas couldn’t possibly grow any bigger, Blueprint Gaming throws in the biggest one of the series so far. This may be the fourth instalment of this series for our loveable & rather lazy Kong, but he’s the star of many titles in the catalogue, including the popular Return of Kong Megaways. 

Nevertheless, Kong has proven to be Blueprint Gaming’s most recognisable and iconic character in their portfolio. These particular slots are never dull or dreary, with this series proving to be an excellent choice for players in terms of longevity and playability. 

Each release, so far, has built upon the other, offering many improvements to previous features, but will King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4 live up to our high expectations, or has Blueprint Gaming overestimated the size of its bananas? 

Classified as a medium (3/5) volatility release with a fixed RTP of 95%, this game can achieve up to 10,000x your bet in max win potential.

First Impression

Blueprint Gaming has acquired a taste for the classic Cash Collect feature, which seems to pop up in a lot of their new releases, and has done so for quite some time. If memory serves, D10S Maradona was the first time we encountered Blueprint’s Cash Collect feature, which triggered something new and exciting. 

As time passed, Blueprint Gaming quickly made this a focus point for future releases, including their most popular King Kong Cash series. After 3 ‘even bigger bananas’ releases, there’s no telling how far Blueprint Gaming will take the series, and let’s be honest, how big can Kong’s bananas really get?

The unlockable features atop the Progress Trail, in the base game, are a great way to engage players in a lengthy session while enjoying the different Collect functions and Cash Prizes. 

In fact, it’s so engaging that it takes priority over standard base game spins and regular wins. In addition, once you get so far into the progress bar, you begin to unlock the Banana Blitz feature and additional Free Spins modes – the more you unlock, the higher the reward.

Bonus boosts, win spins, win wheels, and more are all part of the package via unlockable features, leading to more opportunities to cash in on the 10,000x max win potential. 

King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4 certainly has more appeal than Majestic Fury Megaways Unleashed, which could have something to do with the iconic Kong character, or maybe it is just a better offering overall. 

All in all, King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4 is a staple addition to the growing series. It offers unique and engaging features and plenty of opportunities to cash in on the 10,000x max win potential.
