NetEnt announces the release of Jumanji, a first of its kind online video slot
July 2nd, 2018 – Today NetEnt releases Jumanji, a first of its kind video slot game based on the beloved classic film Jumanji from Sony Pictures Entertainment. The unique branded game combines the classic board game with video slots and unleashes a rhino stampede, wild monkeys, sticky vines and monsoons.
In the original Jumanji film, a long-forgotten board game has the power to unleash chaos. Now NetEnt brings Jumanji to the world of online video slots with a five-reel game packing all the excitement of the movie.
NetEnt brings its own twist to the Jumanji universe by transforming the calamities that befell Alan Parrish into features with slot mechanics. Jumanji is a five-reel video slot game with 4 random features, a Board Game with four different Free Spins, a Mystery Feature, coins wins, and extra dice rolls.
Jumanji is the first of its kind and a new innovation in video slots as the game merges both board game and video slot game elements together. Additionally, the board game includes both free spins and a mystery feature.
Fans of the film are in for a treat as they will recognise four famous features in the Jumanji video slot game:
- Wild Stampede: Rhinos will stampede across the screen while the reels spin, adding four to nine Wilds.
- Monkey Mayhem: Awards potential wins when the reels have stopped, before all symbols are shuffled randomly to create a guaranteed win
- Monsoon Wilds: One or two reels will be completely covered in Wilds while the reels spin.
- Sticky Vines: All symbols that are a part of a win and all Wilds from the initial spin (even if they are not part of a win) stick to the reels, and all other symbols spin again.
Henrik Fagerlund, Chief Product Officer of NetEnt, says: “The Jumanji movie was a great success and we know it has fans all over the world. Making a slot game true to the fantastic features of the movie has been challenging but most of all great fun. We found a way of incorporating both board game features and all the excitement into a slot game and the game has already been well received by players!”

NetEnt’s Taco Fury™ XXXtreme Takes Players to a Post-Apocalyptic, Zombie Filled World
NetEnt has launched its latest slot game, Taco FuryTM XXXtreme, where Chef Zombie serves questionable delicacies from a rusty food truck. Taco Wilds, Wild Explosions and XXXtreme Spins swarm the gaming grid set in a post-apocalyptic, brave new world to entertain players.
An extra horizontal reel spans above the middle reels. The Wild Explosion Feature is activated when at least 1 of the 3 different Wild Explosion symbols slides onto the horizontal reel with Taco Wilds beneath. Taco Wilds then receive Win Multiplier upgrades, and more Taco Wilds are blasted onto the gaming grid to boost the potential payout for players. Once the upgrades and payouts come to an end, the Wild Explosion Feature anchors the Taco Wilds onto the gaming grid with clattering chains and triggers a Respin for potentially more rewards.
Players can also toggle on XXXtreme Spins, where they can choose from two different options for 20x and 60x the bet. They can enjoy either 1 or 2 guaranteed Wild Explosions on each spin until the XXXtreme Spins button is toggled off again.
Nicholas Peters, Chief Business Development Officer Europe at Evolution, said: “Thanks to the quirky theme and fun mix of features, NetEnt’s Taco FuryTM XXXtreme is an entertaining gaming experience. Our talented team has created a game that will engage players with multiplier Wilds and Respins, plus the added bonus guaranteed Wild Explosions in XXXtreme Spins. Just stay out of Chef Zombie’s way, you wouldn’t want to end up on the menu!”

NetEnt’s New Buster’s BonesTM Game Brings Paw-Some Features and Characters
Fierce pooches roam the dusty back roads of a never-ending canyon in NetEnt’s brand-new Buster’s BonesTM video slot. As Buster prowls the reels collecting bones, he leaves Wilds behind and amasses a tail-wagging win multiplier.
This Cluster Pays™ slot boasts thrilling gameplay as the Buster’s BonesTM Feature leaves no bone unturned. When the Buster special symbol bounds onto the gaming grid he sets eyes on available bone symbols and jumps around the reels to gobble them all up. Before moving on, he turns each bone into a Wild, which substitutes for all paying symbols. Bone symbols have a value from 1 to 5 which add up to a multiplier Buster carries with him. After all bones are eaten, Buster becomes a Wild and uses this multiplier to boost potential winnings.
Buster also triggers 8 Free Spins when he is accompanied on the reels by 2 Free Spins scatter symbols. Free Spins takes place in a dimy-lit saloon, where Buster jumps around the reels for the entire bonus round collecting bones and increasing his multiplier. If 1 or 2 additional Free Spins scatter symbols land during the bonus round, 1 or 3 extra Free Spins are awarded, respectively.
Nicholas Peters, Chief Business Development Officer Europe at Evolution, said: “Buster’s BonesTM, which was NetEnt’s headliner during ICE London 2023 earlier this year, is an exciting game thanks to its special namesake feature. Buster is an all-encompassing character, turning bones into Wilds and generating a win multiplier. The team has created a great combination; the game’s features, theme, artwork and soundtrack come together, bringing a wonderful concept to life so players can have a howling good time.”
