Blueprint Gaming Grows Kong Into Its Biggest Version Yet
Blueprint Gaming has sent its best-known ape back up the temple steps with a new instalment of the Kong series, and this one is all about scale. Kong Even More Money builds its entire bonus round around a collect symbol that physically grows as you play, turning a familiar cash-collect format into something closer to a slow-burn escalation. It’s live for UK players now through Blueprint’s operator network.
What’s been released
Blueprint Gaming, the British iGaming developer and part of the Merkur Group, launched Kong Even More Money, a new title in the Kong saga in which the character grows in size over the course of the bonus round
, moving from a small collect symbol up to a much larger one. The game arrived on 29 October 2026 and continues a franchise that stretches back to the studio’s original King Kong Cash release.
Since King Kong Cash introduced Blueprint’s cash-collecting ape, the Kong franchise has grown into one of the studio’s strongest performing series, with each release giving Kong more ways to gather wins.
The title is now available to Blueprint’s operator partners
, meaning UK sites carrying the supplier’s catalogue can add it straight away.
How it plays
The headline feature is the expanding Kong Collect symbol.
The Even More Monkey Bonus Round starts with three spins and a 2×2 Kong Collect.
Level Up symbols expand the Collect through four stages, adding extra spins and increasing collection power.
From there, things can go further still:
the Green Pot upgrade can also move the feature onto a larger 8×5 grid.
Getting into that bonus round depends on a trio of upgrade pots running in the background.
Three Feature Upgrade Pots, filled by Red, Blue and Green Bonus Scatter symbols, shape each session. They can trigger on any spin, alone or together, to apply a multiplier, load the reels with extra Cash Prizes and Level Up symbols, or, through the Green Pot, add rows up to an 8×5 grid.
In the base game itself,
Kong Collect symbols on reel five gather Cash Prizes, while every Banana and Cash Prize symbol adds to a Banana Pot, which eventually bursts and triggers the Banana Blitz pick feature.
Blueprint has pitched the game as high volatility, with a maximum win of 10,000 times the stake.
James Raraty, Blueprint’s Product Roadmap Manager, framed the release around that sense of escalation:
“King Kong Cash gave us a character players connect with, and each Kong game since has given him more to do. In Kong Even More Money, Kong grows as the session goes on, and his expansion from 2×2 to 5×5 is the centrepiece of the bonus.”
He added that the franchise’s following meant this release was built to be
“the biggest version of the character we have built so far.”
Where it fits
Kong Even More Money slots into a franchise that has become a reliable fixture for Blueprint across its markets, and the growing-symbol mechanic gives it a visual hook that should stand out in a lobby already crowded with cash-collect slots. For UK players who’ve spent time with earlier Kong entries, the escalating grid and layered upgrade pots offer a fresh reason to revisit a format they already know. It also reinforces Blueprint’s pattern of building depth into established characters rather than launching entirely new ones, a strategy that has kept the Kong series near the top of its portfolio release after release.
