Huga

Huga is a jungle adventure slot from Funky Games, released on 11 March 2026. It plays on a 5x3 grid with 9 paylines that pay in both directions – from the leftmost or the rightmost reel. A safari explorer, a jungle girl and a cast of cartoon animals fill the reels, and the simple line structure makes every win easy to follow.

Deep In The Rainforest

The reels sit in a carved wooden frame surrounded by lush green jungle leaves and climbing vines. Numbered line markers from 1 to 9 run down both sides of the grid in orange and blue, and a blue banner at the top shows “Congratulation!!” whenever a line pays. Winning symbols are framed with a dotted white border, and a thin coloured line connects them to the matching line number.

The symbols are a colourful jungle cast: a safari explorer in a pith helmet, a smiling jungle girl with a flower in her hair, a lion, a cheeky monkey, a purple hippo, a Venus flytrap, an orange jungle flower and a blue piranha. A tribal shield with crossed spears also appears on the reels.

The Paytable

The paytable lists these values for five, four and three of a kind, multiplied by the line bet:

Explorer – 1,000 / 200 / 50
Jungle girl – 400 / 80 / 20
Lion – 200 / 40 / 15
Monkey – 160 / 30 / 10
Hippo – 100 / 20 / 7
Venus flytrap – 60 / 15 / 5
Jungle flower – 40 / 10 / 3
Piranha – 20 / 5 / 2

Five explorers are worth 1,000 times the line bet – five times as much as five jungle girls. The rules add that “only the highest win is paid for each symbol line combination”.

Pays Both Ways

The most useful rule in Huga is printed on the paylines page: “Winning combination must begin from the leftmost or the rightmost.” A line of three matching symbols pays whether it starts on the first reel or the fifth, which gives every spin two chances on each of the nine lines.

Our screenshots show both directions in action. Three blue piranhas on the right side of the bottom row paid on line 3, while three lions on the left side of the middle row paid on line 1.

Nine Lines

The nine lines are shown on a clear diagram: the three straight rows plus V shapes and zigzag patterns that step up and down across the grid. The line numbers on both sides of the reels are not in order – 4, 2, 6, 8, 1, 9, 7, 3, 5 from top to bottom – which marks where each line starts and ends on the edges of the grid.

Line Wins At Bet Level 2

All our screenshots were taken at a total bet of 18 with a bet level of 2, which means 2 per line. Every win matches the paytable multiplied by 2:

Three piranhas on line 3 – 4 (2 × 2)
Three monkeys on line 8 – 20 (10 × 2)
Three lions on line 1 – 30 (15 × 2)
Three jungle girls on line 5 – 40 (20 × 2)

The monkeys formed a line that dipped from the middle row on the first reel to the bottom row, while the jungle girls ran diagonally from the bottom left up to the top of the third reel.

The Tribal Shield

One symbol stands apart from the rest: a golden tribal shield with two crossed spears. It does not appear on the paytable page with the animals, and in our screenshots it landed at the top of the second reel without being part of a winning line. The rules pages cover the special symbols, so it is worth checking there what the shield does before playing for real money.

What The Bet Changes

Because all line pays are multiplied by the line bet, the bet level decides everything. At bet level 2 – a total bet of 18 – five explorers would pay 2,000, or about 111 times the total bet, and five jungle girls 800. Doubling the bet level doubles every prize, while the number of lines stays at nine.

The smallest wins are small indeed: three piranhas pay 2 times the line bet, less than a quarter of the total stake. The bigger animals and especially the explorer are what move the balance, which in our session stayed close to its starting point.

Controls

The controls are at the bottom of the screen: the balance on the left, the total bet with plus and minus buttons, the bet level, a Turbo button and the last win. A large golden Spin button in the bottom right corner carries the note “Hold for auto” – holding it starts autoplay.

Who It Is For

Huga is for players who like simple, old-school line slots with a friendly cartoon theme. The pays-both-ways rule doubles the chances on each line, the paytable is short and clear, and the explorer symbol offers a proper top prize. The focus stays on the reels – nine lines, two directions and a jungle full of characters.
