Primate King Megaways (Red Tiger Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Primate King Megaways - Slot Overview

As the splash screen shouts The King is Back, I’m dropped into a moody jungle where skulls litter the foreground and a hulking gorilla takes centre stage. The rightmost reel is closed at the start, so the grid plays on five reels while Gold Coins feed a progress bar. Cascades clear winning symbols and fresh ones drop in, so chains can build fast. It looks and feels like classic Red Tiger jungle fare, but the coin collection loop sets the rhythm.

Primate King Megaways runs on six reels with two to seven symbols per reel, giving up to 117,649 ways when fully opened. Wins pay left to right from reel one. There’s no scatter; Gold Coins are the driver for progress. The Primate Wild is the headline act, arriving as a full-reel wild that can carry a multiplier and stick around, pushing momentum across cascades. It’s a simple base but with a steady climb towards bigger moments.

Stakes range from 0.10 to 20 per spin. The default RTP sits around 95.7%, with some operators offering lower settings, and the volatility is high. There’s no feature buy, which means the only route to the bonus is through coin collection and timing. That suits the step-by-step structure here, and it keeps the Megaways engine front and centre while you work the meter and try to bring the gorilla into play at the right time.

Symbols & Paytable in Primate King Megaways

The low pays are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, often shown with chains. Hitting six-of-a-kind pays between 0.4x and 1x, while five-of-a-kind lands 0.3x to 0.7x depending on the rank. You need three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left to trigger a win, which then tumbles away to make space for new drops. That constant clear-and-drop action gives the base a tidy tempo even when the bigger features are still building.

Premiums are a dagger, a map, a compass, a skull, and a treasure chest. Six-of-a-kind delivers 1.2x to 20x your bet, with five-of-a-kind hitting 0.8x to 5x. That chest is the top payer, and the skull and compass sit just behind it. Once the Evolution reaches its second tier, 9s can be removed from the set, trimming the lowest symbol and tightening the field. It’s a small shift that can make cascades run a touch cleaner.

Primate Wild in Primate King Megaways

The Primate Wild lands fully stacked on reels 2 to 5 and can carry a multiplier from x2 to x7. If it drops in and misses, it locks on its reel until it finally helps to make a win. When it does connect, the multiplier rises by one, so it gets stronger as chains continue. Through Evolution, the Wild gains Life Points that keep it on the reels for extra spins after wins, and it stays put during the bonus.

Primate Evolution in Primate King Megaways

The Primate Evolution bar sits over the sixth reel and has three stages. You collect Gold Coins anywhere on the grid, and 30 coins fill a stage. Until you complete all stages, the game runs on five active reels. When the bar is cleared, it is removed to free the sixth reel, where only high pays and Gold Coins can land. From that point, any new coins will appear on the rightmost reel only.

Stage one adds one Life Point to the Primate Wild, keeping it in play for an extra spin after it forms a win. Stage two adds another Life Point and, on the following spin, the Wild smashes all 9 symbols so they no longer appear. Stage three adds a further Life Point and opens the door to the bonus round by making the sixth reel live for the coin trigger.

Progress is tracked per stake level. If you change your bet, the meter recalls where you left it for that level, while other bet levels keep their own progress. Gold Coins sit on the reels until a tumble sequence ends and are then added to the meter, which can slightly change how cascades settle. It’s a grindy loop, but it builds a clearer runway for free spins once that right side of the grid comes into play.

Free Spins in Primate King Megaways

Free spins trigger when a Gold Coin lands on the sixth reel while a Primate Wild is in view. You get four spins plus one extra for each remaining Life Point on the triggering Wild, up to seven. The Primate Wild stays locked for the whole feature with its current multiplier, and at the start of each spin the game may remove the present lowest-paying symbols for the rest of the round, so the set keeps getting leaner.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Primate King Megaways

The default return is quoted at 95.7% or 95.67% depending on the profile, and some sites may use lower settings. Volatility is high, and the stated hit rate is about 30.17%, which fits the steady tumble play and the coin chase. The maths model leans towards patience in the base followed by short bursts when the Wild is primed, so bankroll management matters if you’re pushing for the later stages.

Bets run from 0.10 to 20, with the engine offering up to 117,649 ways when the grid is fully open. The top prize is capped at 30,000x your bet, which is a hefty ceiling for a Megaways slot that leans on one super Wild rather than a field of them. There’s no feature buy, so every bonus is earned in-play, and the right combination of multiplier, lives, and symbol removals can turn a small stack into a strong hit.

Final Verdict on Primate King Megaways

I rate Primate King Megaways as a focused sequel with a proper bite. The base is tidy, the coin meter gives you a target, and the stacked Wild can snowball thanks to the growing multiplier and extra lives. Free spins are short at four to seven, yet the locked Wild makes them punchy, especially if low pays have been trimmed away. It does ask for patience, but the 30,000x cap and that sticky Wild keep the chase worth it.
