HENRY THE APE: OVERVIEW
Last Updated: June 12, 2025Written by Stephen Cummings
Push Gaming slots are now among the most anticipated releases, no matter the slot. Perhaps is due to the fact that Push Gaming limit the number of slot games they release to a maximum of one per month, or perhaps its just because they are usually exceptional games. Today, the SlotsHawk team are taking a look at Henry The Ape slot by Push Gaming.
Our Henry The Ape slot review will give you all of the information you need so that you can decide whether this slot is the right one for you. As always, you can find our full gameplay review via the official SlotsHawk YouTube channel.
HENRY THE APE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
This slot is certainly pleasing on the eye. Clearly, it is a well put-together game. However, we would like to let you know now that the free spins bonus round is one of the worst we have ever played. We entered the bonus game twice, firstly with four scatter symbols and 14 free spins and then three scatter symbols with 13 free spins. In the first we won a combined total of 60p and the second, a total of £1.04 . We did win £9 in the base game once. To be honest, we were quite board playing this game, despite the decent mehcanics.
Overall, we are disappointed with Henry The Ape. Low payouts combined with a simply terrible bonus game makes this a huge L from us.
HENRY THE APE FEATURES
There are several unique features which you will discover when you play Henry The Ape. We have outlined them for you.
SUPER HIGH PAYING SYMBOLS
The blinged up ape is the Super High Paying symbol. This pays two of a kind and can appear on all reels. When this symbol lands on reels 2-5, the Nudge feature will activate.
FAT STACKS
During both the base game and free spins, 1-2 stacks of the Super High Paying symbol can be randomly added to reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a non-winning spin.
SECOND CHANCE
The Second Chance feature has an opportunity to trigger when only two Scatter symbols are present at the end f a spin. When this feature activates, an extra scatter will be nudged onto the reels which will trigger free spins.
DROP THE WIN
At the end of a non-winning spin, there is a chance that the Drop the Win feature activates. If it does, Super High Paying symbols or Wild symbols can be added to the grid in order to complete winning combinations.
REWIND FEATURE
The Rewind feature can randomly drop at the end of a non-winning spin. The reels are respun to form a winning combination.
HENRY THE APE FREE SPINS
If three or more scatter symbols land in the base game, the free spins feature is triggered. During the free pins, a bonus Meter is placed above the reels. On all reels, the Super High symbol can land or Nudge with a Gold Disk, which will be collected into the bonus meter.
For every four Gold Disks collected, additional free spins are rewarded and a symbol will be transformed into the Super High Paying symbol across all reels. If you trigger the bonus game with four scatters, you will automatically begin with one place on the bonus meter unlocked. Five scatters and two will be unlocked and so on.
Full List of Slot Features:
- Free spins

- Multipliers
- Nudge
- Scatter symbol

- Wild multipliers

STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING HENRY THE APE FOR REAL MONEY
To be honest, we recommend playing other slots such as MeJUICEa or Fire in the Hole 3 which are all around simply better. However, if you insist on playing Henry The Ape, then we recommend a lower betting strategy. If you hit an early win, then you can increase your bet size. But we think you should be conservative with your bets in this slot game.

Henry the Ape has high variance with a minimum bet level of 10p per spin and a maximum bet of £3.80 per spin if you activate the Push Bet feature.

THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Despite the great graphics, the gameplay here is very meh. We are disappointed here because there really is no reason to release such a lackluster slot, especially given there are so many excellent new slots out there. We recommend avoiding this in favour of better slots such as MeJUICEa.”
