Congo Cash XL

Congo Cash XL is a jungle-themed slot game developed by Pragmatic Play in partnership with Wild Streak Gaming. The game features a 6-reel layout with a 4-3-3-3-3-4 row configuration, offering 1,296 ways to win. Set against a lush jungle backdrop, the game showcases various African wildlife symbols including frogs, lemurs, mandrills, leopards, and gorillas.

The game's visual style is intentionally retro, reminiscent of earlier slot machine designs. This aesthetic choice may appeal to players who enjoy a classic, nostalgic feel in their gaming experience. A prominent gorilla character stands to the left of the reels, adding to the jungle atmosphere.

Symbol payouts range from 1.2 times the bet for six matching royal symbols (10 to A) to 8 times the bet for six gorilla symbols. The wild symbol substitutes for all regular paying symbols and appears on all reels except the leftmost one.

Congo Cash XL incorporates several bonus features:

• Jewel Board: This feature displays random jewels above reels 2 to 5. These jewels change with each spin and can offer the following rewards:
  • Money values ranging from 4x to 200x the bet
  • Fixed jackpots: Minor (20x), Major (80x), and Grand (2,000x)
  • Free spins ranging from 8 to 100, plus a 2x bet award when collected
• Collect Symbols: The game uses three types of collect symbols:
  • Butterfly symbols: Appear on reels 1 and 6, activating Congo Cash or XL symbols when two land
  • Congo Cash symbols: Appear under the Jewel Board, collecting the jewel above when activated
  • XL symbols: Collect 1 to 5 random values from the jewels above when activated
• Free Spins: Triggered by collecting at least one free games jewel. During this feature, at least one wild is guaranteed to land on the reel where the free spins jewel was collected. The number of free spins is determined by the total collected from all jewels.
• Bonus Buy: Players can purchase entry into the free spins round for 100 times their bet, receiving a random number of free spins.

A notable aspect of Congo Cash XL is its expansion upon the original Congo Cash game, offering increased volatility and potential for larger payouts through the enhanced Jewel Board and XL Collect symbols. This evolution caters to players seeking a more high-risk, high-reward experience while maintaining the familiar jungle theme and core mechanics of its predecessor.
