Game Overview

Planet of the Apes is an innovative online slot from NetEnt made in partnership with 20th Century Fox, launched in October 2017. The game stands out by blending elements from 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' and 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes', providing players with a dual-reel experience that captures the spirit of both films. Game Structure and Theme You’ll find two distinct 5-reel, 3-row areas – the 'Rise' side on the left and the 'Dawn' side on the right – both offering 20 fixed paylines for a combined total of 40.

This setup lets players enjoy both film stories at once, adding to the immersive feel. The visuals and characters from both movies enhance the overall atmosphere with engaging, movie-inspired graphics. Symbols and Paytable Symbols feature central characters from the films, including Caesar and Koba, alongside traditional card icons.

Each play area has its own symbol set, staying true to each film’s theme. The highest-paying symbols are the 'Rise' and 'Dawn' film logos, which deliver bigger wins across paylines. Special Features Wild Symbols Both play areas come with their own Wild symbol to help form winning combinations by substituting for other symbols. Scatter Symbols Get three or more Scatters in either play area to activate the Free Spins relevant to that area. Free Spins - *Rise Free Spins*: Enjoy 10 free spins with all Wilds collected and then added to the reels on your final spin. - *Dawn Free Spins*: Get 15 free spins, with the chance to rack up multipliers, extra Wilds, and more free spins as you go. Dual Feature This random feature picks one symbol for each play area.

When matching symbols land, they stick in place and re-spins follow until no more matching symbols appear. Stacked Wild Feature If a whole reel in the 'Rise' play area is stacked with Wilds, that reel is copied onto the matching reel on the 'Dawn' side, opening up the chance for big wins. Betting Options and RTP Bets range from €0.20 up to €200 a spin, so there’s something for every player. The Return to Player (RTP) rate is 96.3%, representing fair payouts.

The medium volatility brings a balance of regular smaller wins and occasional bigger hits. Conclusion Planet of the Apes impresses with its unique dual-reel gameplay and faithful integration of both film stories. The carefully designed symbols, bonus features, and striking visuals make this slot a great pick for fans of the franchise and anyone who enjoys well-crafted online slots.
