Mad Mad Monkey Slot Review
I wonder just what drives a monkey mad? Is it a lack of bananas perhaps or do they have marital problems? Well whatever it is the madness adds to the enjoyment of this game from NextGen who always come up with some great games.
In our continual trip around the slotworld we find ourselves in the jungle this time and there are plenty of animals for us to look at. The backdrop to the game shows the jungle which is thankfully celebrity free. There’s plenty of trees and flowers but the mad, mad monkey is to be seen up above the reels not too far from his beloved banana. There’s a crazy soundtrack too that get the jungle beats going and isn’t too likely to get you reaching for the mute button.
This is a five-reel game that has four rows of symbols and 50 paylines for you to try and get some wins on. The 50 paylines aren’t fixed so it’s up to you to decide just how many to activate. Playing the game can cost as little as £0.01 and that still gives you a chance of getting into the bonus game.
The symbols in the game are rather basic but still enjoyable to look at. There’s a snake with a smile on its face, a parrot, a split coconut and a banana. Five of the banana symbols will win you 1000x your line bet so keep an eye out for that one. There's also the ten to Ace playing card symbols which have a bit of a jungle look.
The wild symbol in this game is the grinning monkey and he can substitute for other symbols to create winning combinations. He’s so generous that wins he creates are doubled and you don’t have to give him a banana, though he’d love it if you did. It can’t substitute for the scatter symbol in this game which is the Mad Mad Monkey logo.
The monkey wild symbol triples any prizes that it creates. It’s stacked on the second, third and fourth reels so that can really improve your chances of winning combinations being created.
Bonus Games
To trigger the Super Stack free spins round you need three of the Mad Mad Monkey scatter symbols to appear anywhere on the reels. That’s handy as it means even if you just activate one payline there’s still a chance of getting into the bonus round. Once triggered you get ten free spins and all wins are tripled and it's 6x the win if the wild gets you the winning combination. That's possible as the wild is stacked on all the reels and you have some excellent chances of boosting your account balance here.
In the base game there is a gamble feature. Now remember you don’t have to go for this and it’s best to protect your really good wins. If you do go for the gamble, this is the usual guess the next card feature. Guess correctly the colour of the next card to double a win and the next suit to quadruple it. This isn’t as easy as it sounds so be wary of this feature.
Conclusion
An enjoyable game to play and there are some good chances to get wins here. The stacked wild and the free spins can really help you grow that account balance. Remember to have a look through the paytable to fully understand how the game works and be careful with that gamble feature and don't throw away good wins.
