Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild

Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild is NetEnt's lush trip into the deep jungle, a pokie of tribal masks, glowing butterflies and prowling animals that has held a loyal Australian audience since it launched in 2017. Australians who search the Jungle Spirit pokie or its RTP tend to come for the vivid artwork and stay for the way the expanding symbols can suddenly blow a modest spin wide open. You can try the free demo above in play money, with no account and no deposit, and see the Butterfly Boost work before deciding whether it fits your budget in AUD.

How Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild plays

The base game runs on a 5 reel, 3 row grid with 243 ways to win, so any matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left pay, with no fixed lines needed. The signature Butterfly Boost fires at random on a winning spin: a swarm of butterflies picks one to three symbols and expands each to fill its whole reel, turning a small hit into a much larger one. Land three or more scatters and the free spins begin on a bigger 5 row grid with 1,024 ways, where you choose one of five jungle animals to act as an expanding symbol. Each animal offers a different balance of spins and swing, so you can lean toward more, steadier spins or fewer, wilder ones.

Jungle Spirit RTP, volatility and max win

Jungle Spirit has a published RTP of 96.47 percent, close to the NetEnt average and a reasonable return for a game of its vintage. It is a medium volatility pokie, so wins land at a reasonably regular pace rather than in rare spikes. The maximum win is 7,700 times your stake, achieved when the expanding animal symbols and the 1,024-ways free spins align at their best. The figures in the stats panel above reflect these same verified NetEnt numbers.

Playing Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild in Australia

Jungle Spirit can be played at the online casinos serving Australian players shown on this page, in Australian dollars once you have an account with one of them. It is worth being clear on the rules: under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online casino and pokie games cannot be licensed for or advertised to people in Australia, so the operators listed here hold licences offshore rather than any Australian licence. The free demo at the top of the page is play money only and needs no account or deposit, letting you explore the Butterfly Boost in full before deciding whether to play for real at an offshore-licensed casino from the list.

Is Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild worth playing?

Jungle Spirit earns its place if you enjoy rich artwork alongside an expanding-symbol feature that can escalate fast and a free spins round you get to shape. The Butterfly Boost gives ordinary spins real upside, the animal choice adds strategy, and 7,700x is a solid ceiling. The medium variance keeps things steady, though the biggest wins are naturally rare. Decide on a limit before you spin, and if gambling ever stops being fun, step away and read our responsible gambling advice.
