Play The Jungle 2 for Free

If the idea of The Jungle 2 is already putting you off, don’t fret, as we have just the right dose of slot machine goodness to get you back into the gaming mood; meet Bonus Bears. Created by Playtech, another online gaming giant, this slot will bring you the same depth of dynamics and volatility, but without having to wander through a neverendjungling. Let’s face it, the adventuring lifestyle isn’t for everyone.

Inside the 5 reels and 25 winlines of Playtech’s activity, you’ll watch as you come into contact with all sorts of bears, from cute and cuddly to foreboding brutes. Overall the theme and style is playful and light, which is a lot more uplifting than the tone set here. We think this is the perfect alternative, but don’t just take our word for it, give it and go and see for yourselves.

The Jungle 2 has one feature and one alone: it’s free games. Yes, sadly this is yet another real cash slot that has relied all too readily on delivering you games at no extra cost. Don’t get us wrong, we love getting something for free, but when you keep getting the same bargain it begins to lose its appeal. Nevertheless, seeing as this is the only special of the game, we have to make do and give it a try.

First things first, if you’re going to unlock this bonus you’ll need to get three of the redheaded woman on the second, third and fourth reels at the same time. Assuming you can do this without the volatility coming back to bite you in the bum, you’ll be sent to a screen with a wheel of numbers. Here is where you’ll decide how many extra spins are going to be awarded to you; it’s more in-depth than some features, but it’s hardly engaging on an interactive level.

Hunting elephants is wrong, but in The Jungle 2 you’re going to be on the lookout for them because of the amount of money they can bring you. Fortunately you don’t have to kill them to get the cash, and so morality is restored to the winlines of this slot machine. To begin with you’ll need just two of them, a smaller grouping than most titles.

As you may have figured out for yourselves, the greater the size of the combination, the better the prize at the end. We’ve become so used to the scatter being the icon that rewards free games, that we’re quite happy to see a change in tactics. Furthermore, Microgaming have ensured that their prizes keep on giving, as the five of a kind win is worth x100 of your initial bet. Even if you play with the lowest amount (0.25), you’ll still stand to gain 25 credits. The maximum bet is 125.00.

Navigating The Jungle 2 is like navigating a real life forest: it’s not that it’s tough as such, but that there’s a lot of unnecessary twigs you need to cut back in order to see the heart of the experience. What this means, at least to us, is that Microgaming have failed to make a game that flows with its users, but instead it works against them, constantly throwing up hurdle after hurdle. There’s good qualities inside the matrix, such as the scatter icon, but there’s too few for it to make a real difference.
