Slot Overview
Features Unlock the Deeper You Go
Bank a cash collect on King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4, and you are not just paid, you nudge a trail along the top of the reels one step closer to its next surprise. Blueprint Gaming has built the whole slot around that climb. Each step up the trail unlocks a new feature, from Kong pounding extra cash onto the reels to a giant collect symbol that grows as you play, and there are enough of them stacked along the way that the game you finish a free play session with looks nothing like the one you started. It is a lot, in the best way, and most of it waits further up the trail than a first sitting tends to reach.
What’s Inside The Demo
The Cash Collect Trail
The cash collect drives everything on these jungle reels. A collect symbol holds reels one and six from the start, and any spin that lands a cash prize alongside it sees the collect expand across its reel and bank every value on show. Each collect that you bank also advances the trail above the grid.
The swings can be sharp along the way, which is the high-variance side of the game. Reaching a Kong symbol unlocks a feature that stays live for the rest of the session, so the reels keep gaining tricks the longer you go.
Features You Unlock Along the Way
The trail hands out the following, in roughly the order you reach them.
- Win Smash sees Kong leap in and pound the reels, adding fresh cash-prize symbols or upgrading the ones already there before everything in view is collected.
- Win Spinner turns any reel showing cash prizes into a full reel of them, then respins it into a brand-new reel of cash.
- Win Strike lifts the cash values that land by as much as five times before the collect sweeps them up.
- Win Wheel adds special cash-prize symbols to the reels, and when enough land, a wheel appears and spins for a set amount, a mystery prize or a bonus trigger.
Banana Blitz
The fourth unlock deserves a closer look. Once it’s live, any cash prize you don’t collect drips into the Banana Blitz pot. If the pot triggers, you get to pick a Kong to reveal a guaranteed reward, which can be one of five fixed jackpots that climb with your stake, a launch straight into the bonus spins, or one of a run of modifiers.
- Bonus Boost feeds extra bonus symbols onto the spinning reels, with at least three guaranteed to land.
- Win Spin respins the grid with top symbols and wilds dropping in for a guaranteed win.
- Super Collect sweeps up every cash prize on screen at once and pays its combined value.
- Collect Add drops a collect symbol onto reel one, reel six or both to lock in a cash collect win.
- Kong Add has Kong hurl bananas across the reels, filling whole reels with cash prizes.
Three Ways to Spin the Bonus
Three Kong scatters or more open the bonus, and which version you get depends on how far along the trail you are.
- Kong Bonus Spins is the standard round with ten spins. The trail along the top tracks your progress through the bonus round. Each cash collect advances you one step further, unlocking extra spins and rising multipliers along the way.
- Kong Bigger Bonus Spins earned deeper along the trail, also runs ten spins, but it opens with a Golden Monkey pick that locks in up to five feature upgrades before the reels turn.
- Kong Colossal Cash Spins is the top tier and the trail’s final unlock, a five-spin round built around Colossal Kong, a giant collect symbol that opens at two-by-two and swells toward six-by-four as you gather level-up gems, each one buying more spins.
The Golden Monkey Upgrades
Once the trail has unlocked the Kong Bigger Bonus tier, three or more Kong scatters start it as a ten-spin round. Before the spins begin, you pick a Golden Monkey for feature upgrades, and the picks come from this pool, with up to five awarded at once.
- Trail Boost raises the trail multipliers to three, four, six and fifteen times.
- Cash Attack clears the grid of everything except cash-prize and collect symbols.
- +Spins adds up to five more spins to the round.
- +Banana seeds the reels with more cash-prize symbols.
- +Golden Barrels improves the odds of golden-barrel cash prizes landing in view.
- +Wheel adds more win-wheel symbols to the reels.
- Collect Up raises the chance of the upgraded collect symbols appearing.
- Treasure Boost increases the chance of triggering Banana Blitz during the round.
How to Play
From One Collect to a Full Trail
Everything here pretty much runs through the cash collect. A collect symbol sits on reels one and six from your first spin, and whenever a cash prize lands anywhere on the grid at the same time, the collect expands down its reel and banks the values on show. Wins and collects often fire together, because the reels, six across and four deep, pay up to 4,096 ways on matching symbols running left to right from reel one.
One rule shapes how those ways land. The barrel wild stands in for every paying symbol but never the Kong scatter, the collect or the cash-prize symbols, and it only turns up on reels two through six, so the leftmost of the six reels always shows a real symbol or a collect, never a substitute.
Stakes and RTP
Stakes cover 10p to £25 a spin, and with high volatility the swingy sessions lean on the collects and the trail more than the ways pays alone. The default RTP is 95%, with trimmer 93% and 92% builds available to operators. The top payout is fixed at 10,000 times your stake, large enough to end the round on the spot if it ever lands.

Ultimate Slots Verdict
The progression is what earns this one its score. Where most cash collect slots give you a single trail and a single bonus, Even Bigger Bananas 4 keeps switching on more layers as you play, and the run toward Colossal Kong gives even a quiet spell a point. What holds it just short of the very top is that you cannot buy into a feature you fancy. On a game this stacked, being unable to pick your round outright is the obvious thing missing. Even so, few slots pack this much in without losing the thread.
✓ What We Like
- The trail turns a familiar collect setup into a session with momentum; passing each milestone switches on a feature that stays live, so the game visibly grows the longer you spin
- Three bonus-spin tiers give the Kong scatters real weight, from the standard ten-spin round up to the two-by-two Colossal Kong collect that swells as you bank gems
- Banana Blitz quietly rewards the spins that miss, funnelling uncollected cash into a pot that can return a modifier, a fixed jackpot or a bonus trigger
- The sound design is a real highlight, collects, dings and clattering coins landing on cue and selling each win as it banks
✗ What Could Be Better
- No feature buy, so a round you take to can only be reached by working the trail toward it, never chosen outright
- Early on it plays like an ordinary cash-collect slot, the depth only arriving once the trail has switched on a few features, so the opening stretch undersells what the game becomes
Detailed Review
Why the Trail Keeps You Spinning
The pull is momentum. A cash collect dropped on our second demo spin for £12.50, another £8.50 arrived five spins later, and each one nudged the trail along the top a little further. That trail is the spine of the session. Fifty spins in we were roughly halfway along it, and the reels already behaved differently from how they had at the start, which is the trick the whole game turns, your slot quietly becoming a busier one as you play.
Three Kong scatters dropped us into the Kong Bonus Spins round, where the collects do double duty, banking cash and building toward extra spins and a rising multiplier by unlocking steps on the trail. Our first run reached £42.60 and stalled one collect short of the next free spins reward. A later trigger, once the trail had opened the Bigger Bonus Spins, went better. We got to pick two Golden Monkey upgrades before it began, resulting in two extra bonus spins and Trail Boost, which boosts the multiplier values on the trail. Win Smash threw fresh cash symbols onto the reels for a £9.50 hit, and a £6.50 collect landed under a 3x multiplier that dropped on top to turn it into £19.50, the kind of small flourish the animation gets right.
Anyone who knows the original King Kong Cash will find a different machine here. That 2016 game runs on random modifiers and a five-route bonus wheel, a self-contained setup where each spin is its own event. This one trades that for a trail that carries progress from spin to spin, on six reels instead of five, with a top end ten times what the original could reach. It is the same ape in the same jungle, playing at a completely different pace.
What it holds back is control. With this many features in play, the lack of a buy-in stings, because a round you enjoy can only come around again by grinding the trail toward it. The upside is a game that never sits still. The jungle backdrop washes to a purple night for the bonus rounds, and the jackpot ladder on the left climbs with your stake, while the cartoon artwork keeps Kong front and centre, and chimes and clashing coins mark every collect.
We completed the trail at around a hundred and forty spins, which unlocked Colossal Cash Spins, then kept playing with every feature now active. No further bonus triggered before we ended the demo, so we never got to choose it and watch Colossal Kong in action. That is the impression that stuck. It is hard to exhaust this game in one sitting, and the steady reveal of the next feature keeps you spinning more than any single payout does. If you like a slot that builds as you play, few collect games we have reviewed are this involved.
