It sure is nice to look at but man does it not play well. Make the spinner shot to get to the pop bumper and it often rolls straight back down the drain. The rollovers are not fun to shoot at and the bonus multiplier is only for the last ball which makes it a one-ball game. There is a nice kickback and gate to return the ball to the plunger but over all it feels like a design that was never completed.

As other reviewers have noted, Jungle King has very few good shots, but they are tough shots! Jungle King is an add-a-ball game, so you're not trying to win replays, you're trying to prolong the game and build your score higher.
There are ten roll-over targets to hit, five on each side. Hitting all five targets in one shot is indeed possible, but it requires a perfect shot. Once all ten targets have been hit, the WOWs are lit. Hitting a lit WOW adds a ball to the balls to play meter, and you can win up to 10 balls. The WOW shots are tricky, missing the stand-up targets can send the ball coming back between the flippers.
It's a different kind of pin. It's a finesse pin. Interestingly enough, when you complete the last of the targets, invariably the ball heads for the gap between the flippers. So far, I have achieved getting several extra balls, but to date, haven't made it to 10 balls to play yet.

This is an all-or-nothing machine! There are basically only 3 shots that make any sense. And they are 3 TOUGH shots! So if you're a novice, this machine will eat you alive! However, if you are a 'Wizard', once you get the shots zeroed in, you can tear it up, and it will become kind of boring!
