Jumanji is NetEnt's slot from June 2018, and its reels are not a plain rectangle: five reels stand 3, 4, 5, 4 and 3 symbols high, with 36 fixed lines. Four random features can change a main-game spin, one at a time, from sticky re-spins to rhinos that add 4 to 9 Wilds. Three or more Scatters open a Board Game played with two dice, whose corners hold four Free Spins rounds. The RTP is 96.33%.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as NetEnt publishes it.

Where Jumanji comes from
NetEnt released Jumanji on 20 June 2018. In NetEnt's words it "brings the chaos of the classic 1995 film to the reels".
How Jumanji works
The five reels stand 3, 4, 5, 4 and 3 symbols high, 19 positions in all. All 36 lines are fixed and pay from the leftmost reel without a gap. Only the best win per line counts, and wins on different lines add up.
The Wild, a red and gold symbol that reads "Wild", stands in for everything but the Scatter, always for the best possible win. Pelicans, crocodiles, rhinos and lions pay more, J, Q, K and A less, and the Scatter is the wooden Jumanji board.
Four random features in the main game
Main game only, one feature per spin, each within a single spin.
| Feature | What happens | When wins are paid |
|---|---|---|
| Sticky Vines | Winning symbols and every Wild from the first spin stick while the rest re-spin | When the feature ends |
| Monsoon Wilds | One or two reels are completely covered in Wilds, never the fifth reel alone | Once the reels stop |
| Monkey Mayhem | Wins are paid, then all symbols are shuffled at random into a win the rules promise | Before and after the shuffle |
| Wild Stampede | Rhinos stampede across the screen while the reels spin, adding 4 to 9 Wilds | Once the reels stop |
Sticky Vines and Monsoon Wilds in detail
Sticky Vines can start only on a spin that already has wins on 2 to 9 lines, when no other feature is active. Re-spins go on until no new winning symbols stick or the whole game area is filled, and the wins are then paid.
Monsoon Wilds covers one or two whole reels, but never the fifth reel alone. So a single covered reel is one of reels 1 to 4, and reel 5 turns wild only together with another.
The Board Game, step by step
-
Three or more Scatters
3 or more Scatters anywhere in the main game start it: 3 give 6 dice rolls, 4 give 7 and 5 give 8. The Board Game itself has no Scatters. -
Two dice move the token
Two six-sided dice move the token, and the rules state that the dice odds are true. The token's look is purely cosmetic. -
Corners and prizes
Landing on one of the two locations in front of a corner starts that corner's Free Spins round. -
Each round once
Each Free Spins round can be won only once per Board Game. After that, its locations give an extra dice roll instead. -
The total
At the end, the Board Game's total win is added to any win from the spin that started it.
Four Free Spins rounds on the corners
Each is a Free Spin version of one main-game feature.
| Round | Free Spins | How it plays |
|---|---|---|
| Vines Free Spins | 10 | A win on a free spin always starts re-spins, and the vines hold every Wild for the whole round |
| Monsoon Free Spins | 7 | Monsoon Wilds, but never the same covered reels on two free spins in a row |
| Monkey Free Spins | 6 | The Monkey Mayhem shuffle on every free spin |
| Stampede Free Spins | 5 | The Wild Stampede mechanics on every free spin |
Mystery, coin wins and extra rolls
The Mystery location spins a carousel inside the Jumanji circle that stops on a Free Spins round, a win of 2 to 10 times the bet, or 2 extra dice rolls. Rounds already won in the same Board Game are left off it.
A coin-win location pays the bet times its number, from x1 to x5. At a R2 bet, x3 pays R6 and the Mystery's top x10 pays R20.
The board's layout is not published, so the chance of reaching a corner cannot be worked out. Two dice give totals from 2 to 12, with 7 the likeliest, 6 of the 36 combinations. With each round available once, one Board Game gives at most four Free Spins rounds.
Jumanji in figures
| Detail | Jumanji |
|---|---|
| Released | 20 June 2018 (NetEnt) |
| Grid and lines | Reels of 3, 4, 5, 4 and 3 symbols, 36 fixed lines |
| Hit frequency | 25%, as NetEnt states it |
| Volatility | Medium (NetEnt), Low / Mid (Evolution's games site) |
| Max payout | 500 x bet, NetEnt's figure on its game page |

How the numbers shape a session
NetEnt gives a hit frequency of 25%: over the long run one spin in four returns something, whatever its size. Its max payout of 500 x bet is the studio's figure, not a promise of what any round pays.
Every feature plays at the bet of the spin that started it, so a bigger stake makes every win and loss bigger in rand.
