Just before the end of August is out, and a day before the Livecasinocentral ‘New Live Casino Games August 2023’ recap, Playtech’s Jumanji™

The Bonus Level Live game show release in conjunction with Sony Pictures has been announced.

Game shows based on popular cult hits are a fast-growing niche bridging the gap between virtual and live iGaming. And even though Jumanji™ The Bonus Level is not technically a video slot, it will undoubtedly attract slot players.

I mention this because you have seen NetEnt has a Jumanji slot. However, the best way to describe Playetech’s game show is a mix of the video slot, Evolution’s Gonzo’s treasure hunt, and Wheel of Fortune game show gameplay.

The theme is based on movie scenes, and it stars the lovable characters we all know and love on the big screen. Franklin Finbar (Mouse), Ruby Roundhouse, Professor Sheldon Oberon (Shelly), and Dr Xander Bravestone (Smolder).

Key Features: The game can land up to x5,000 your bet and has a theoretical RTP of 97.63%. Spin the reels to land instant multipliers from numbers, or enter one of 6 bonus games!

Playtech Jumanji™ The Bonus Level Slot Explained

The game has two reels, each with 43 positions and several symbols that will trigger various bonus features. Therefore, technically, this is not a slot. To bet, you have 8 options. There are the numbers 1 and 2 as well as 6 bonus games. All these are explained in the table for mobile readers to the right or below. Once all bets are down, the commentator will announce the reel spins.

If the spins land on a Jaguar, you get half your money back for all bets, or if both reels show the Jaguar symbols, this will trigger the Saving Jumanji bonus game.  Hitting numbers 1 or 2 gives you 1x or 2x your bet. And, of course, the bonus rounds will trigger if these land on reel 1. The second reel is there to enhance any bonus rounds or numbers that land.

• Two reels with 43 positions
• Bet on numbers 1 & 2
• Jaguar returns half your total bet
• Jaguar triggers free bonus with 5x to 11x multipliers
• Bet on up to 6 bonus rounds
• Theoretical RTP – 97.63%

Playtech’s Live Video Slots

Now that you have read how Playtech’s Jumanji™ The Bonus Level Live game show works, you probably see its similarities with video slots. The live casino online slot niche is another part of the live dealer game show vertical that is seeing a huge growth spurt. You no longer have to spin the reels alone. Instead, you can hop onto LiveSlots, Playtech, or Evolution live dealer slot games.

Live video slots come complete with a presenter commentating on the spins and bonus features, and there is a community chat so players can share their delight when winning and frustration when the slot just isn’t paying out.

Playtech was one of the first. Live casino software providers release a live slot game by taking its Live Age of the Gods: God of Storms title to the live dealer scene. Since then, the brand has released Live Buffalo Blitz and Live Safari Riches.

Playtech has officially released its fourth live dealer slot title – Jumanji™ The Bonus Level, to capitalise on live casino slots’ influence. The previous release was the Live Safari Riches Video Slot.
