Planet of the Apes

Fans of the latest round from the Planet of the Apes movie franchise will love playing the Planet of the Apes video slot game by NetEnt. There's lots to see, lots of action, and lots of chances to win. Let's get into the unique features of this exciting slot experience.

The playing screen is divided into two separate 5-reel games, each named after one of the first two movies: RISE, for Rise of the Planet of the Apes (the 2011 film), and DAWN, for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (released in 2014). While they are separate reels with their own characters and symbols, there is a Dual Symbol feature.

NetEnt has made every gorgeous effort to include elements from the films in each game. First, there is original soundtrack music as well as the authentic ape sounds from the movies. In addition to the steely letter and number symbols – 10/J/Q/K/A – there are photos of our most beloved characters:

• From RISE: John Lithgow as Charles Rodman, Freida Pinto as Caroline Aranha, and Tom Felton as Dodge Landon. You'll see the familiar faces of Cesar and Bright Eyes, and the movie's logo.
• From DAWN: On this side you're greeted by Keri Russell as Ellie, Jason Clarke as Malcolm, and big, bad Koba. And the movie's logo, of course.

On each side there are also wild cards, free spins, scatters and multipliers.

The Planet of the Apes video slot machine is formatted for desktop computers as well as all mobile devices, so you can play at home or when you're out and about. We really love these movie-themed experiences, and we hope it's a sign of even better things to come – we can think of several franchises we'd like to see.
