Jumanji

Jumanji takes the 1995 jungle adventure film and turns it into one of the more original pokies in the NetEnt catalogue, which is a big part of why it still gets steady play in New Zealand. Released in 2018 under a Sony Pictures licence, it sits a physical board game right next to the reels, so alongside the usual spinning you roll dice and move around a board to unlock different bonuses. Kiwis can play it in NZD, and the free demo above runs the full game with no account and no deposit, so you can learn how every feature works before staking anything.

How Jumanji plays

Jumanji uses five reels in an unusual 3-4-5-4-3 shape, with 36 fixed paylines running across the grid. The base game leans on four random features that can trigger on any spin: Sticky Vines locks winning symbols and Wilds in place for a respin, Monsoon Wilds floods one or two whole reels with Wilds, Monkey Mayhem reshuffles the symbols into a guaranteed win, and Wild Stampede sends rhinos charging across the reels to drop four to nine extra Wilds. Landing the board game symbol starts the Jumanji Bonus, where dice rolls move you around the board toward one of four free spins modes or a mystery award of coins, spins or another roll.

Jumanji RTP, volatility and max win

Jumanji runs at an RTP of 96.33%, which is around the middle of the pack for a NetEnt title and easy to check on the stats panel above. It is a low volatility pokie, so wins tend to land often but stay modest, and the four random features keep the base game busy between bonuses. That profile suits players who prefer a steadier session over long dry spells chasing one huge hit. The most you can win on a single stake is 500 times your bet, so the top end is sensible rather than sky high, which fits the low-variance design.

Playing Jumanji in New Zealand

You will find Jumanji at online casinos serving New Zealand, and the operators listed on this page offer it. New Zealand does not license domestic online casinos yet; the Department of Internal Affairs is bringing in the Online Casino Gambling Act from December 2026, so for now Kiwis play at offshore-licensed sites. Every casino shown here lets you play in NZD, and if you just want to see the game first, the demo above needs no signup and no deposit.

Is Jumanji worth playing?

Jumanji earns its place on the strength of its theme and its board game bonus, which still feels fresh years after release. The low volatility and frequent small wins make it a good fit for players who like regular action rather than white-knuckle swings, and fans of the film get plenty of nods along the way. It is less suited to anyone hunting a massive one-spin payout. Whatever you play, set a budget and stick to it; see our responsible gambling guide for tools and support.
