Blueprint Gaming has released Kong Even More Money, the newest game in its Kong franchise and, according to the studio, the biggest version of the character it has built.

The series began with King Kong Cash, which introduced Blueprint’s cash-collecting ape, and has become one of the studio’s strongest-performing franchises. In the new game, Kong himself grows in size during the bonus round.

A bigger Kong in the bonus

The Even More Monkey Bonus Round starts with three spins and a 2×2 Kong Collect symbol. Level Up symbols expand Kong through four stages, adding spins and collection power until he reaches 5×5.

Three Feature Upgrade Pots, filled by Red, Blue and Green Bonus Scatter symbols, shape each bonus. They can trigger on any spin, alone or together:

  • Red or Blue: apply a multiplier, or load the reels with extra Cash Prizes and Level Up symbols.
  • Green: adds rows, taking the game up to an 8×5 grid.

In the base game, Kong Collect symbols on reel five gather Cash Prizes, while a Banana Pot fills up with every Banana and Cash Prize symbol before bursting into the Banana Blitz pick feature. The game is available now to Blueprint’s operator partners. Blueprint recently expanded in South Africa through a deal with Betway and JackpotCity.

James Raraty, Product Roadmap Manager at Blueprint Gaming, said:

“King Kong Cash gave us a character players connect with, and each Kong game since has given him more to do. In Kong Even More Money, Kong grows as the session goes on, and his expansion from 2×2 to 5×5 is the centrepiece of the bonus.

“The Feature Upgrade Pots change how each bonus starts. Depending on which colours have filled, players can enter with extra rows, a multiplier or reels loaded with Cash Prizes.

“Kong has a strong following across our markets, and this release gives players the biggest version of the character we have built so far.”
