If you are seeking an unprecedented slot package, then Planet of the Apes may be right up your alley, being packed with a myriad of innovations and unique bonus features you have hardly encountered before. The ingenious title powered by NetEnt features an unusual setup and is inspired by two of the three Apes trilogy films – Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Each of these blockbusters is responsible for a half of the slot's screen and have its own reel set, that is, two play areas – Rise and Dawn, consisting of 5 reels and 20 paylines. What is more, you will encounter both Rise and Dawn Free Spins, two Scatters, two Wilds, Rise and Dawn bonus features and the Dual feature as well. The two-in-one, adrenaline-fuelled game boasts unparalleled visuals and an incredible Jackpot worth 600,000 coins, which makes the release a must try for all avid punters and movie trilogy enthusiasts.

Planet of the Apes is played across 10 reels and 40 paylines, and with its extensive betting range that starts at $0.20 per spin and goes to the maximum of of $200, the thrilling ride to the Ape planet is guaranteed to satisfy the needs of most punters, regardless whether they are high-rollers or casual players. The brilliant release benefits from a dual set of reels, each containing 5 reels and 20 lines, which all artfully blend the elements from the two films and the corresponding blockbusters' footage. To reap the heftiest of rewards, watch for Caesar's attic windows that assume the role of Wilds and substitute for all other icons, apart from Scatters and Bonus symbols. Moreover, if you are fortunate enough to trigger the Stacked Wild feature, you will scoop a highly sizeable loot, given the potential it brings.

Don't forget to be on the lookout for Rise Bonus symbols, as they activate the Rise Bonus feature, provided a Bonus symbol lands on the reel 1. Practically speaking, a cash prize is granted for each ape and human icon (apart from Scatter) that pops up on the screen in the Rise Play area. In this round, you can grab up to 79.5 the bet. The Dawn Bonus feature, on the other hand, is played when a Dawn Bonus icon lands on the last reel, which will in turn transform ape and human symbols into the same icons in the Dawn area. The icon will be selected at random, but it will exclude Scatters. In this feature, you can expect to win up to 1,200x your bet line.

The Dual mode is triggered randomly as well, when a single icon is selected from each playing area, however, keep in mind that the same symbol cannot be present on both reels. Once it's triggered, both reel sets will have only the selected symbols, while the rest of the reels will remain blank. In case that icon lands on the other reel, it will become Sticky and provide you with a re-spin. The re-spins will continue for as long as new icons are added to both sets of reels, whereas the feature can award up to 1,000x the stake.

During the Rise Free Spins, which are activated when at least three Rise Scatters pop up anywhere in the Rise play area, you will be awarded 10 free games, during which Wilds will be stored in the Wild Meter. On your last spin, all these Wilds will randomly be added to the play area, thus helping you grab 600x the stake per spin. To trigger the Dawn Free Spins feature, though, you need to land not less than three Dawn Scatters in the play area, and in turn win 15 free games. Yet, there is a small catch involved in it. You will need to collect three different icons to initiate the Multiplier, Extra Free Spins Meter and Extra Wild, and thus reap the highest possible benefit from the game. The astonishing feature can award up to 3,000x your bet on a single free spin. Finally, if you pitch at least three Scatters in both play sections, the Multiple Free Spins will be launched and you will have the chance to play both the Rise and Dawn Free Spins, one after the other.

Planet of the Apes slot machine is a magnificent gaming package, that is a real pleasure to both watch and play. The one-of-a-kind release is packed with bonus features and special symbols that will provide an enormous winning potential in the base game and bonus rounds as well. Visually superb, it is one of the most ingenious NetEnt's releases so far and will definitely appeal to a large number of punters, especially with its incredible jackpot that amounts to 600,000 coins. Finally, the game has a medium to high volatility, with an average return to player (RTP) of 96.33%.
