Ape Rulez (Foxium) – Review & Demo Play

Ape Rulez Slot Overview

I’ve put time into Ape Rulez by Foxium, a 5x4, 20 payline jungle slot with a female adventurer, Mia, front and centre. Bets run from 0.20 to 20 per spin. The top RTP model is 96.04% with medium volatility and a 35.27% hit rate; some sites may run lower RTP settings. The feature mix is Sticky Frames, Mia Wild Bonus, Nudging Scatter Respins, Jungle King Free Spins, plus Feature Buy and a Gamble option. Max win reaches 12,000x the bet.

Ape Rulez Slot Information

In Ape Rulez, wins pay left to right and need at least three matches on one of the 20 paylines, starting from reel 1. The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A, which return 1x the bet for five of a kind. The premium set features a hat, binoculars, a compass, and a backpack. These pay between 2x and 10x the bet for a five-symbol hit, giving decent step-ups when lines land across the grid.

The Wild Symbol substitutes for all symbols except Scatters and Mia symbols. That matters because wilds support the framing play later, while Scatters handle entry to free spins and progress on the Boost bar. I found the paytable clear: lows keep things ticking, but fitted premiums and wilds lift the base, while set-up spins build positions for bonuses. You can play on mobile, tablet, or desktop without any change to rules or pays.

Ape Rulez Slot Features

Wild symbols can appear in the base game and free spins. When a wild lands, it leaves a Sticky Frame with a multiplier up to 5x. Frames persist and can carry into free spins. Golden Wilds may create extra wilds, even another golden. The Mia Wild Bonus can trigger when Mia lands, turning all sticky frames into wilds; the frame multipliers on a winline are combined and applied. In base, frames vanish after the bonus resolves; in free spins, they remain in play.

The Free Spins Boost bar sits above the reels. Landing two Scatters adds them to the bar; you need 100 Scatters to light the Jungle King step on the free spins trail. If two Scatters land on the top three rows, a Nudging Scatter Respin starts. Those reels are pinned and nudge down one row while the other reels respin, repeating until a Scatter reaches the bottom. Each moving Scatter adds to the Boost bar, and bar progress depends on your bet.

Trigger 10, 15, or 20 Jungle King Free Spins with 3, 4, or 5 Scatters. Sticky Frames remain active, and Mia can fire the Wild Bonus. During free spins, collecting Mia symbols moves a progress bar: 3 Mias award a 2x multiplier and +5 spins; 6 Mias give 3x and +5; 9 Mias give 5x and +5; 12 Mias give 10x and +5. Feature Buy costs 38.6x your bet with no carry-over of frames or Boost progress. The Gamble feature uses your current stake, with no frames or Boost progress applied.

Ape Rulez Slot Verdict

Ape Rulez works because set-up matters. Sticky Frames bank value, Mia converts them at the right time, and free spins layer in trail multipliers. The jungle look, drum-led audio, and semi-transparent reels fit the steady hit rate. I’m fine with the 96.04% model and medium pace, though sites may choose a lower RTP. The buy at 38.6x is fair when you want action straight away. Ape Rulez is a game I return to when I want frames, nudges, and a punchy bonus.
