The Isle of Man-based developer of online casino content, Microgaming, has announced the arrival of the latest chapter of its Jungle Jim series.

The launch of the new game starring Jungle Jim was announced earlier this year, and now we’re finally going to have the opportunity to see our hero in action.

An Unforgettable Experience

Titled Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx, the fresh release was developed exclusively for Microgaming by Stormcraft Studios.

Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx features a five-reel four-row layout with 35 paylines, while the certain stages of the game will see the grid increase to five-by-five reels and 50 active lines to play on. Helping players scoop more awards are such exciting features as the Rolling Reels and the Win Booster, while a multiplier trail that increases during the Free Spin round will further boost the overall gaming experience.

The game starts with a 5×4 layout and a multiplier trail of up 10x. Thanks to the Rolling Reels mechanics, winning symbols will be removed from the screen, with new ones falling into their place, creating an opportunity to grab more wins. Three wins in a row will expand the grid, adding an extra row and unlocking 15 additional paylines. A 4x multiplier will also be awarded, as well as a free respin.

Free Spin and Multipliers

Landing 3 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger the game’s Free Spins round, with Jim himself appearing on the reels. Players will receive 12 spins and a multiplier trail of up 20x. When collected, the golden Sphinx symbols will award an additional spin and increase the size of the multiplier trail.

Using the Win Booster option will allow players to trigger the Free Spin round more often.

Help Jungle Jim uncover hidden riches of Egypt, and embark on an adventure of epic proportions at any Microgaming online casino.

Commenting on the new launch, James Buchanan Director of Global Operations at Microgaming said they were excited for the return of the iconic character in Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx. He also stated Jungle Jim was ready to dig up incredible rewards with win potential of up to 6,250 times the original stake.

Buchanan pointed out that the combination of innovative game mechanics and a graphically rich visual experience made this latest instalment of Jungle Jim a game not to miss!
