Expert opinion

Congo Bongo is the slot machine created by the specialist of Cryptologic company for all the fans of hot music rhythms. Bongo in the title means the double Cuban drum, which has come to the Liberty Island from Africa. Congo can mean the country or it is just a denominative from conga - the Latin-American drum musical instrument. Taking in account the character of the background music of this slot, the second version looks more likely. Moreover, the main hero of this game - Juba looks like a Rastafarian a lot.

Wild symbol is an image of Juba the Rastafarian. It forms the winning combinations on its own every time it appears at the screen (even one Wild brings a payoff) and helps making it of other symbols, replacing the missed (except of Scatter).
Scatter symbol is an image of a cheerful toucan. In case two and more such symbols appear anywhere at the screen (independently of their location, number of the active lines and other things), the player gets a payoff. Its amount is calculated in the following way: the total bet is multiplied by the special index from two to one hundred (2, 5, 10 or 100).
Three and more toucans also trigger twenty free spins with double payoff indexes. The game goes on by the current bet and number of the active lines during this round. Free spins are prolonged by three and more Scatters.
