Most Kong games save their best work for the bonus round. King Kong Splash does something different with its 6×4 grid and runs a progression trail during every spin, not just inside a feature. Three spins into our demo, the trail had already advanced. Five spins later, Expand Collect was unlocked. The slot kept moving forward before we’d even seen a scatter, and that forward momentum between bonuses is what separates this entry from the rest of the franchise. Blueprint Gaming built this one around a cash collect system with 4,096 ways to win, two distinct bonus rounds, and a set of modifiers that tie into the well-themed setting with visible personality.
Four random modifiers can fire on any spin during regular play.
Fish symbols land on the reels carrying random cash values. When a Kong Collect symbol appears on reel 1 or reel 6, it sweeps up every cash value visible across all six reels and pays the total. The Expand Collect works the same way but also reaches into adjacent positions, pulling in values that the standard Collect would miss. Both feed into the progression trail.
An eight-stage trail runs alongside the reels during regular play. Every Collect that lands advances your position. Each stage unlocks or enhances a feature. Early stages activate the Expand Collect, while later stages increase multipliers, eventually reaching x10. The trail resets once it reaches the final stage and triggers the bonus selection screen. Landing a Collect every 15–20 spins kept the trail moving visibly enough that regular play never felt like dead time.
Three coloured scatter symbols (red, blue, and green) feed into their own collection chests displayed above the reels. As these fill during play, they can randomly trigger enhanced versions of either bonus round. The upgrades carry over into whichever bonus you select at the trigger point, adding another layer of progression that builds quietly behind the main trail.
Completing the trail presents a choice between two bonus rounds. Kong Bonus Spins awards 15 free spins with its own internal trail. Collect symbols during the round to advance you through multiplier tiers and additional spin awards. The structure mirrors other Blueprint trail-based bonuses, unlocking extra spins and larger multipliers as you progress.
The alternative bonus option. Fishin’ Mayhem awards 5 free spins with a separate collect grid active above the reels. Cash symbols that land inside the grid are collected immediately, with multipliers reaching up to 5x. Dynamite symbols expand the grid, capturing more positions. Every fourth Collect during the round increases the minimum cash value and awards additional spins. It’s the higher-risk option, offering fewer spins but more concentrated payout potential.
The Wild substitutes for all regular paying symbols and appears on all six reels. Three fixed jackpots sit above the game. Mega pays 2,500x, Major pays 200x, and Minor pays 50x, all awarded during play without needing a separate jackpot trigger screen.
King Kong Splash plays across a 6×4 grid with 4,096 ways to win, and the trail indicator above the reels acts as a measure of where you are in the session. Bets start at $0.10 per spin, and although the game is rated medium volatility, the Collect Trail and random modifiers keep the session feeling more active than the label might suggest.
King Kong Splash is built around a cash collection system. Fish symbols land with random monetary values attached, and those values are only paid when a Collect symbol appears on the outermost reels. Regular symbol combinations also pay across the 4,096 ways, but the headline returns come from the collect interactions and the multipliers that build along the trail. The fixed jackpots (Mega at 2,500x, Major at 200x, Minor at 50x) can trigger on any spin.
The figures below are based on a $1.00 bet. Payouts adjust in line with whichever stake you select, and the default RTP is 95%.

King Kong Splash earns 3.8 out of 5 by doing something the other Kong games haven’t tried. The progression trail running through regular play gives every spin a sense of direction, and the Wipeout modifier keeps the grid active between Collects. The choice between Kong Bonus Spins and Fishin’ Mayhem also adds variety at the trigger point, but neither bonus matched the engagement level of the trail that feeds into them.
The setting lands immediately. Trees crowd the edges of the screen, water splashes around the reel frame, and Kong lurks behind the grid with none of the temple stonework or jungle canopy his other games lean on. The audio does its part too. Faint running water underneath the main soundtrack, occasional wave crashes that sync with the Wipeout animations, and a jolly jungle melody that holds the session together without grating. When wilds land, a bang of drums cuts through. It’s not subtle, but it reads the room.
The trail is where this slot earns its identity. Regular spins in most collect-style games feel like waiting rooms. Here, every Collect advances the trail, and the visual feedback of watching stages unlock kept us engaged through the full 155-spin stretch before the free spins bonus triggered. The Wipeout modifier helped fill the gaps. It fired often enough during our session to feel like a genuine part of the rhythm, washing the grid clean and dropping fresh symbols that usually connected into something worth $5 to $12 on a $1 bet. Not large, but regular enough to keep the returns ticking over.
Kong Bonus Spins told a familiar Blueprint story. The internal trail echoed the regular-play version, with Collect symbols advancing through multiplier tiers and spin awards. Seven dead spins to start. Then a Collect and Expand Collect arrived on consecutive spins, pushing the running total to $35 and unlocking the 5 free spins at 2x. That burst of activity made the first seven spins worth enduring, but the round ended before the trail could build further. Final result from 15 free spins at a $1 bet was $43.20. Not a loss, but well short of what we were hoping for from the feature.
The comparison to King Kong Cash and its Jackpot King edition is worth drawing briefly. King Kong Cash builds its identity around bonus variety. A wheel selects one of five distinct bonus games, and random Monkey Modifiers keep the base game active. The Jackpot King version adds three progressive pots on top of that framework.
King Kong Splash replaces all of that with forward momentum from a trail that moves during every session and two focused bonus options when it completes. Players who prefer structured progression over bonus roulette will find more to hold onto here. One full trial cycle in the free play demo is enough to review whether that progression holds your attention across 100–200 spins. For our session, it did, and it left us keen to return for another run.
Expand Collect unlocks early in the regular progression trail.
From this point, Kong’s collect symbols reach adjacent positions, pulling in fish values that the standard Collect would have missed entirely.
Collect fish, land Kong symbols to advance the trail, unlock extra spins and multipliers up to x10.
