Congo Bongo Slots - Online Slot Machine Review

Congo Bongo Slots

So the first thing I was looking or, on a machine named Congo Bongo, were some pretty spot on sound effects. I must say that I was pretty disappointed. There were a few spots were they tried to embrace the them but I felt that the machine was filled with way too many generic sounds for a musically themed slot. Some of the sounds actually got pretty annoying after a while of playing. The symbols were kept very simple on this machine. I actually kind of liked this part of the machine because I never got any of the symbols confused with one another and I could always immediately identify the important symbols when they appeared on the reels. The symbols included regular playing card symbols, nine through ace, and an assortment of Jamaican inspired music symbols that included, among others, a konga, a tambourine, and a maracas. The betting options were well above average on this machine. There were twenty different lines that players could bet on that really led to a lot more wins. The betting range was also more than adequate and players could spin the reels for as little as a penny or for as much as 100 dollars. The only problem I really had was that all winning combinations had to start one reel one and occur on consecutive reels. This really led to a machine in which it was actually pretty difficult to obtain wins consistently.

Congo Bongo Slots Wild Symbol

The first thing I noticed about this wild symbol was the fact that it was accompanied by a really cool animation. The symbol itself was a picture of a man with dreadlocks and a traditional Jamaican headdress on. This symbol appeared on every reel and could be used to substitute for any symbol in the game other than the scatter symbol. Whenever this symbol was used in a winning combination the Jamaican man did a pretty damn cool little dance. I thought this was a decent symbol because it led to most of my winnings but I really would have loved if the designers would have added an additional feature along with it so that it carried more weight in the game play.

Congo Bongo Slots Scatter Symbol And Bonus Feature

The scatter symbol for Congo Bongo Slots was a picture of a Toucan. This symbol appeared on every reel and was used to award a prize whenever two or more appeared anywhere on the screen together. It was also used to award free spins. Twenty free spins were awarded whenever three or more scatter symbols appeared anywhere on the screen together. During these free spins all prizes obtained were automatically doubled. I really liked this bonus feature because twenty wins is enough time to do some serious damage as far as winnings are concerned especially when you consider all the prizes are being doubled. I also liked the fact that the feature was relatively easy to obtain.

Overall, I thought this was a pretty solid slots machine even though I was very disappointed by the sounds. I really loved the free spins bonus features because I felt like I was always winning free spins. This was pretty important since the regular wins were actually pretty hard to obtain for previously mentioned reasons.
