Gold Pile: Orangutan is a jungle-themed online slot from Playtech that revolves around the orangutan, a great ape native to the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. The game is set against a lush jungle backdrop and features various wild animals on the reels, including elephants, leopards, bears, pangolins and hornbills, in addition to the standard royals (A-9).
The slot uses a standard 5×3 reel layout with 20 paylines. Winning combinations are formed by landing 3+ matching symbols on a payline from left to right, starting from the first reel. The elephant is the highest value regular symbol, paying 12x the stake for 5 on a line.
Central to the gameplay are the gold symbols which can land on reel 5 and activate the Gold Pile feature. Players can adjust their bet size to increase the Gold Meter, boosting their chances of landing gold symbols. 5-of-a-kind wins that include a gold symbol can award the Mini (25x stake) or Maxi (75x stake) jackpots, or trigger the Grand Chase feature.
In the Grand Chase, players get 3 respins on a special reel set that only contains gold symbols and the Grand symbol. Landing the Grand awards the top jackpot of 2,500x the stake.
The orangutan acts as the scatter, paying up to 100x the stake for 5 anywhere. It also triggers 8 free spins when 3 or more land. During the bonus, 2 extra wilds are added to the reels on each spin. The free spins can be retriggered infinitely by landing 2+ scatters.
The diamond is wild, substituting for all regular pay symbols and paying up to 80x the stake for a full payline.
Gold Pile: Orangutan is a medium volatility game with an RTP of 96.46%. The maximum win is capped at a decent 2,500x the total stake.
