Return of Kong Megaways Gameplay

Return of Kong Megaways runs on a Megaways engine. This means you can win on up to 117,649 paylines each round. While this can make gameplay a little hard to follow at first (especially for beginners), the user interface guides you through wins as they form.

Return of Kong Megaways’ cascading symbols gives the slot a unique rhythm by allowing rounds to continue indefinitely.

Instead of spinning reels, symbols cascade down to form wins. When a win occurs, the tiles disappear, allowing new ones to fall into place. This can trigger a chain reaction that continues until no more winning lines are formed.

Players can set the spin value as low as £0.10.

The Wild symbol (a pile of leaves with ‘Wild’ written over it) substitutes for any symbol apart from scatters. They can only appear in the positions above the second, third, fourth and fifth reels.

Line wins pay out as follows:

Symbol	6-of-a-kind	5-of-a-kind	4-of-a-kind	3-of-a-kind	2-of-a-kind
Kong	50x	25x	10x	2x	1x
Rhino	5x	2.5x	2x	1x	N/A
Tiger	2.5x	1x	0.5x	0.3x	N/A
Parrot	2x	0.8x	0.5x	0.3x	N/A
A	1.5x	0.6x	0.4x	0.2x	N/A
K	1.5x	0.6x	0.4x	0.2x	N/A
Q	1.5x	0.6x	0.4x	0.2x	N/A
J	1x	0.4x	0.2x	0.1x	N/A
10	1x	0.4x	0.2x	0.1x	N/A

Theme and Story of the Return of Kong Megaways Slot

Return of Kong Megaways is set in the jungle. The characters and symbols are reminiscent of nostalgic console games, which is also mirrored in the xylophone and drum-heavy sound design.

The bigger the animal, the higher its bet multiplier. Kong is by far the strongest, with its 6-of-a-kind multiplier being ten times greater (50x) than the second best – Rhino (5x). Aside from Kong, line wins won’t score you particularly impressive multipliers, as these tend to be reserved for the bonus features.

Graphics, Sounds and Vibes

Every element of Return To Kong Megaways, no matter how small, fits the theme. Each symbol is on a rock, which matches the spin button and Kong’s podium. The reels are tied together with bamboo, and each letter and number symbol is etched with traditional patterns.

A gentle xylophone track plays at first, which morphs into fast drumming once you start to spin. I was impressed by how seamlessly the slot transitions between these tracks, plus the more pared-back music in the Free Spins feature. All the sound effects, including monkey noises, trills and angelic singing, adjust to the intensity of whatever’s happening on the reels.

I asked one of our casino experts to weigh in on the appearance of Return of Kong Megaways. Here’s what they had to say:

Return of Kong Megaways Slot on mobile

Blueprint Gaming makes its slots using HTML5, facilitating cross-compatibility across desktop and handheld devices. The game can be played in landscape or portrait mode. I’d recommend opting for a horizontal display, since some of the tiles are already small enough as it is.

Just a couple of tweaks would perfect the Return of Kong Megaways mobile experience. For example, when playing on a mobile browser, the ‘Spin’ button doesn’t shift to a position that can be easily reached with your thumb. Additionally, I’d like to see the inclusion of a left-handed mode, which is becoming a standard feature in online slots. Nonetheless, I was impressed by the loading speed and smooth graphics while playing on mobile – particularly considering the game’s complexity.

One of our in-house casino writers tested the Return of Kong mobile experience on their own phone, an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Here’s how it went:

Return of Kong Megaways Slot Bonus Features

Return of Kong Megaways’ main bonus feature is the free spins round, which elevates the core gameplay mechanics by adding the Unlimited Win Multiplier and Golden Monkey Feature. The Mystery Kong feature can appear at any time during your session, and often creates extra winning lines.

Mystery Kong

On random spins, Kong will beat his chest and throw golden barrels onto the reels. The barrels explode to reveal new symbols, which often help form winning combinations.

If more than four K-O-N-G symbols appear when the bonus is triggered, you’ll receive an extra five spins for every additional scatter.

The Unlimited Win Multiplier starts at 1x and increases by 1 after every cascade (when winning symbols disappear and new ones fall into place). This means that each consecutive win within a single spin can become progressively more valuable, adding to the sense of suspense as the multiplier builds.

Once you collect three Golden Monkeys, the meter is filled, increasing the minimum number of Megaways for the rest of the round and awarding two extra free spins.

Here’s what one of our in-house experts thought about the Return of Kong Megaways bonus features:

RTP and Volatility

The Return of Kong Megaways RTP is 96.03%. I was pleased to see this, since I’d recommend most players stick to slots with RTPs on or above the UK market average of 96%.

Variance is the measure of how frequently a game is programmed to pay out. The Return of Kong Megaways volatility is medium/high, so expect some dry spells if you’re chasing big wins. Make sure to consider this when deciding on your spin value, as volatile slots can burn through your bankroll fast.

Return of Kong Megaways has a hit frequency of 1/2.67 (37.49%).

Bet Sizes & Variance

Players can bet as little as £0.10 per spin, which will suit most budgets. The maximum bet per spin is £2 for players aged 18–24 and £5 if you’re 25 or above, which is the industry standard for UKGC-licensed slots after recent regulatory changes.

The Return to Kong Megaways maximum win is 50,000x your bet, meaning players can walk away with up to £250,000 per round.

Bonus Frequency

Blueprint Gaming has not published the official bonus frequency of the Return of Kong Megaways slot. The Mystery Kong bonus tends to be triggered more often than the Free Spins feature.

I set my spin value to £0.40, giving me 120 spins. I triggered the Mystery Kong barrel feature on my 23rd and 44th spins, winning a combined £5.20. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to trigger the free spins feature. My average win was £0.68 across 43 successful spins ranging from £0.04 to £3.60. My longest dry spell lasted ten spins, which is what I expected from a slot with a variance between medium and high.
