Amazon Jungle (Play8oy): the seven-tile board and the temple pick bonus

Amazon Jungle breaks the usual 5x3 pattern. The playfield is seven round stone medallions set into a carved jungle temple: two on top, three across the middle, two below. Each medallion holds one animal, and nine lines join neighbouring tiles. It is one of the odder layouts in the Play8oy lobby.

First spin: reading the board

The animals seen in the screenshots are a crocodile, a cobra, a monkey, a blue frog, a toucan-like bird and a jaguar cub. There is no paytable screenshot, so their values are not given here; tap the info button before you play.

A win lights the matching medallions with a yellow ring and draws the line between them. Three frogs above paid 6 at PLAY 2, which is small against the spin cost of 18. The bottom bar is the standard Play8oy one: LINES (9), PLAY, TOTAL PLAY, WIN and SPIN.

The temple bonus

When the bonus starts, the board gives way to a torch-lit temple chamber with stone guardian statues. A legend at the bottom right explains the three results: a key means Next, a coin means Win, a skull means Exit. So each pick either moves you deeper, pays out, or ends the stage.

In the screenshots the WIN box climbs from 162 to 270 to 450 as the chambers progress, and the last chamber opens onto a heap of gold under a sun emblem.

The round finishes on a MEGA WIN banner, here 1350 at PLAY 2, and the SPIN button is replaced by a red TAKE button to collect it. PLAY cannot be changed while the bonus runs; the minus and plus buttons grey out.

Pacing

Nine lines keep spin cost low, and base-game hits like the 6 above will not carry a session. The bonus does the heavy lifting, so choose a PLAY you can hold for a long stretch without chasing. To play it, ask for a Play8oy game ID. For another animal-themed game on the platform, see African Wildlife.
