Jungle Mode and Big City Mode

The game Kong The Eighth Wonder of The World is played in two modes: Jungle Mode and Big City Mode. In each of the two modes, the symbols change visually but the paytable remains the same. In Jungle Mode, the Wild Jungle Respins feature and the Skull Island Bonus can be triggered. In Big City Mode, the Wild Kong Respins feature and the City Tower Bonus can be triggered. Exiting Skull Island Bonus begins the Big City Mode, while exiting City Tower Bonus begins Jungle Mode.

By default, the game begins in Jungle Mode.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol in the game is the symbol in Jungle Mode and in Big City Mode. The symbols pay the same in both modes and differ only graphically. Wild can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter, to make the best possible winning combination. There is also a separate payout for two or more Wild symbols on an active payline, as seen in the Paytable. This is paid out instead of the regular symbol win if the win amount from the Wild symbols is larger than the win from the regular symbols (by Wild standing in).
