NetEnt's Planet of the Apes slot was developed in cooperation with 20th Century Fox and it is based on the popular movie franchise of the same name. It is another slot in a group of branded games produced by the company in an effort to expand their fan base.

Planet of the Apes slot is an interesting game featuring two independent yet connected sets of reels. This also means the slot has quite a few features players can look forward to, creating non-stop thrilling action.

Graphics & Theme

The slot is based entirely on the Planet of the Apes movie franchise, featuring characters from two movies on the reels. The game is divided into two set of 5x3 grids, with the left side representing the Rise movie, while the right side represents Dawn.

The game is very graphically rich with numerous cut-scenes from the movies accompanying big wins and bonus features. Likewise, the original music is there to complete the atmosphere and create a truly unique experience, especially for the fans of the franchise.

Gameplay

Planet of the Apes is a very exciting game because two sets of reels made it possible to introduce numerous special features, so there is something going on almost at all times. Each set of reels features 20 paylines.

Two main bonus features are Rise and Dawn Free Spins, triggered by three scatters appearing on their respective sets of reels. During Rise free spins, wild symbols are accumulated for one big spin in the end. In the Dawn free spins feature, players are awarded 15 free spins, with additional increasing multipliers and extra wilds.

There are two other bonus features for each set of the reels. The Dawn bonus feature transforms all human and ape symbols into the same symbol. The Rise bonus pays a special coin win for each human and ape symbol appearing on the reels.

Finally, the Dual Feature takes place on both sets of reels, selecting one special symbol for each of the areas (Rise and Dawn), with the symbol becoming sticky and awarding an extra re-spin every time it lands on the reels.
