Congo Bongo Slot Review 2024

Congo Bongo is a game from Cryptologic which has a layout with 5 reels and 20 bet lines. The game offers as its major features a combination of free games, multipliers, wilds and scatters. As for the top jackpot, it's a prize of up to $30,000.

The game's theme is inspired by Africa and by its rich culture. The focus here is on the bongo drums, and you see them and their African player in the intro image. The other images found on the reels are either related to African music, or they are card icons which have an African inspired design. Even the background image, using a combination of blue and green, looks like it's inspired by the rich culture of this continent. The colors of the Congo flag are used in the logo of the game (yellow, green, red). The symbols give us the 9 to A card icons and the images of Juba (the bongo drums player), a Toucan bird, bongo drums and a few other music instruments that are specific to the African continent.

Congo Bongo's 20 lines can get bets of up to 20 coins (when they're all selected), with their individual value being between $0.01 and $5. With the maximum coin value chosen, the maximum wager of the slot is $100. The top payout is 6000 coins, and they can be worth up to $30,000 (with the $5 coin value used during that round).

Juba, the bongo player, acts as a substitute in Congo Bongo. It is able to take the place of all other typical symbols, with the scatter being the one exception. The wild will also have payouts of its own, giving the player prizes for 1 to 5 wild symbols, between 2 and 6000 coins. It's the symbol that awards the top jackpot of the slot.

The Toucan symbol is the scatter, which is important in the game as well. Besides the payouts offered whenever you have multiple scatters on the screen (giving the player 2x to 100x the round bet when he has 2 to 5 Toucans on the screen), the player can also get free spins with their help. Three or more symbols with a Toucan will trigger a round with 20 free games, during which the prizes won are doubled in value (2x multiplier).

The game might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a decent offer from Cryptologic, with some standard features and with prizes that should make it easier for everyone to like the game.
