Quick verdict: King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 2 is Blueprint Gaming's continuation of its long-running King Kong Cash series, built around a layered Cash Collect mechanic that unlocks progressively stronger Kong variants — Lock & Spin, Win Stepper, Cash Match, and Super Collect — as a round develops. A separate Banana Blitz pick bonus and a scatter-triggered Free Spins feature with a building multiplier meter add further routes to value on top. At 95% RTP, medium/high volatility, and a 10,000x max win across 4,096 ways, it's a feature-dense sequel built for players who already enjoy Blueprint's wider King Kong Cash lineup.
The Story
Blueprint Gaming's King Kong has become something of an unofficial studio mascot over a long-running series of Cash-branded slots, and Even Bigger Bananas 2 continues that lineage as a direct sequel to the original Even Bigger Bananas. There's no narrative beyond the established jungle-adventure premise — waterfalls, ancient stone ruins, and a towering, banner-swinging Kong presiding over the reels — but the series' commercial track record has clearly earned continued investment from Blueprint, with this sequel adding a deeper, more layered version of the Cash Collect mechanic the earlier games built their reputation on.
Theme, Gameplay & Symbols
King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 2 runs on a 6-reel, 4-row grid with 4,096 ways to win. Low-value symbols are card royals (10 through A), while higher-value symbols carry the jungle theme: a parrot, golden monkeys, and banana bunches, alongside Kong himself as the game's central recurring icon across both the base game and its bonus features. Cash symbols carrying their own coin values, and Kong Collect symbols that trigger the collection mechanic described below, are the two symbol types the entire game is built around.
Presentation & Sound
Visually, the game keeps Blueprint's established King Kong Cash jungle aesthetic — waterfalls, ancient stone temple ruins, and dense tropical foliage framing the reels, with Kong himself rendered in a bold, slightly cartoonish style consistent with the wider series. It's a vibrant, adventure-themed presentation with a percussive, drum-heavy jungle soundtrack, building into a more triumphant fanfare whenever the Cash Collect mechanic upgrades to a stronger Kong variant or the Free Spins multiplier meter advances a tier.
How to Play King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 2
- Set your stake. Bets run from £0.10 up to £25.00 per spin across the game's 4,096 ways to win, though UKGC rules cap online slot stakes at £5 per spin (£2 for 18–24-year-olds), so UK players can't stake anywhere near the top of that range.
- Spin the 6x4 grid. Matching symbols pay along the available ways.
- Watch for Cash and Kong Collect symbols together. When both appear on the same spin, the Kong symbol expands to cover the reels and awards the visible Cash values.
- Build toward stronger Kong variants. Repeated collection unlocks progressively advanced versions: Lock & Spin, Win Stepper, Cash Match, and Super Collect.
- Watch for Banana Blitz triggers. Landing non-collected Banana, Golden Monkey, or Golden Barrel symbols adds to a Banana Pot, eventually offering a pick-a-Kong bonus choice.
- Land 3+ scatters for Free Spins. This awards 10 free spins with any already-unlocked Kong variants active; landing 4, 5, or 6 scatters adds a 20x, 100x, or 500x cash prize on top.
- Try the demo first. King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 2 has a free-play demo available on this page, a sensible way to see the layered Kong Collect system before staking real money.
Features & Mechanics
The game's core system is Cash Collect: whenever Cash symbols and a Kong Collect symbol appear simultaneously, the Kong symbol expands to cover the reels and pays out the visible Cash values. Collecting through this mechanic repeatedly unlocks progressively stronger Kong variants in sequence — Lock & Spin, Win Stepper, Cash Match, and Super Collect — each a more powerful version of the collection mechanic than the last.
Separately, Banana Blitz is a pick-me bonus fed by non-collected Banana, Golden Monkey, or Golden Barrel symbols adding to a Banana Pot. Once triggered, players choose from three Kong options, which can reveal free spins, Super Free Spins, a guaranteed win, or a jackpot wheel. Free Spins itself is triggered by landing three or more scatters, awarding 10 free spins with any already-unlocked Kong variants carried into the round active from the start; landing 4, 5, or 6 scatters instead adds a cash prize of 20x, 100x, or 500x the bet respectively. During Free Spins, collecting Kong symbols builds a separate progress meter that unlocks multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x, with five bonus spins awarded at each tier reached. Super Free Spins, reachable only via Banana Blitz, offers a further upgrade pick — trail boosts, extra spins, or increased symbol frequency.
Volatility & Win Potential
King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 2 carries a published RTP of 95% and medium/high volatility. The maximum win is 10,000x your stake, reached through a heavily built-up Free Spins round with the highest Kong variants unlocked and the multiplier meter maxed at 10x. Bets run from £0.10 up to £25.00 per spin — again, above the UK stake cap noted above — across 4,096 ways to win. The layered structure — Cash Collect tiers, Banana Blitz, Free Spins, and Super Free Spins all feeding into and building on each other — gives the game multiple simultaneous progress systems rather than one flat bonus target, which spreads win potential across several routes rather than a single trigger.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: the four-tier Kong Collect progression (Lock & Spin, Win Stepper, Cash Match, Super Collect) gives repeated collection genuine escalating value.
- Pro: Banana Blitz adds a distinct second bonus route on top of the core Cash Collect and Free Spins systems, rather than duplicating the same mechanic.
- Pro: carrying unlocked Kong variants into Free Spins means strong base-game progress isn't wasted once the bonus triggers.
- Con: the layered system of Cash Collect tiers, Banana Blitz, and Free Spins multipliers takes real time to learn compared with a single-mechanic slot.
- Con: at 95%, RTP sits on the lower side compared with several competing modern releases.
- Con: reaching the top-tier Super Collect and 10x Free Spins multiplier simultaneously requires sustained progress across multiple systems, not just a single lucky trigger.
Final Verdict
King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 2 rewards players willing to learn its layered structure rather than offering a single, easily-grasped bonus mechanic — the four-tier Kong Collect progression, the separate Banana Blitz pick bonus, and the Free Spins multiplier meter all build on each other rather than functioning in isolation. That depth is the game's main appeal for fans of Blueprint's wider King Kong Cash series, even if it asks more of a first-time player than a simpler slot would. Trying the demo first to get a feel for how the Kong variants unlock and carry between the base game and Free Spins is worth doing before spinning for real money.
