What Is Jungle Spirit?
Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild by NetEnt is a jungle-themed 5-reel slot with an unusual butterfly feature that transforms individual reels into colossal 2x1 or 3x1 mega-symbols. Released in 2017, it combines standard NetEnt production quality with a distinctive visual expansion mechanic that creates large-coverage wins from individual reel positions.
The Colossal Symbol feature is Jungle Spirit's defining mechanic. During any spin, a butterfly can appear over a reel and transform it into a giant colossal symbol that occupies all rows of that reel. Colossal symbols cover 2 or 3 rows, multiplying the symbol's presence across the grid and dramatically increasing the probability of winning combinations across the 40 paylines.
RTP & Volatility
Jungle Spirit carries a published RTP of 96.47%. Medium-High volatility means the slot sits between medium and high, offering a reasonable hit rate alongside occasional larger payouts.

Key Features
The butterfly can appear on any single reel per spin, randomly selecting a symbol type to colossal-transform. The larger the colossal coverage (3 rows versus 2 rows), the more winning combinations it contributes to. During free spins, colossal symbols land more frequently and can appear on multiple reels simultaneously.
Free spins trigger when three or more Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels. During free spins, the colossal symbol feature is enhanced — butterflies can transform multiple reels in the same spin, creating conditions where two or three adjacent reels are covered by the same colossal symbol type, dramatically expanding winning coverage.
Wild symbols substitute for all non-scatter symbols. The 40-payline structure gives the game a reasonable base-game hit rate independent of the colossal feature. The combination of full-reel colossal coverage, 40 paylines and free-spin frequency enhancement is what drives the 50,000x theoretical maximum.
Theme & Design
A lush tropical rainforest setting with snakes, elephants, tigers, cobras and exotic birds across the reels. Butterflies — the game's signature visual element — flutter across the reels to trigger the colossal transformation. NetEnt's production quality is high, with lush jungle animation and an atmospheric nature soundtrack.
Verdict
Jungle Spirit is a solid medium-to-high volatility slot with a genuinely unique visual mechanic in the colossal butterfly transformation. The 96.47% RTP is competitive, the 40-payline structure gives it a reasonable base-game hit rate, and the 50,000x maximum win potential is impressive. For Irish players seeking a NetEnt title beyond the usual suspects, it is worth exploring.
