Monkey Madness

In the base game, you get the classic scheme: three reels, three rows and nine paylines. All symbols fall in large blocks, the lines are easy to read, there are no complex chains or cascades. The main thing is to watch the appearance of the Monkey symbol, which plays the role of Wild here. The whole game is based on catching the maximum number of monkeys on one line, because only with their help you can catch a really big win. The usual symbols are bananas, pineapples, coconuts, watermelons, gold bars, and tiger masks. They bring the usual payouts, but when Wild appears, all amounts become more interesting. The mechanics are very clear: you spin, catch matches, sometimes Monkey turns a regular prize into x3 or even x9 if there are two of them on the line.

There are no bonus rounds, free spins or Bonus Buy option in Monkey Madness at all. Everything is based only on the mechanics of the Wild symbol: if one Monkey appears on a payline, the prize is multiplied by x3, if two - by x9. There are no more modifiers, hidden features, or surprises. You don't need to wait for anything behind this slot machine — the whole game is revealed in the basic mechanics.

In Monkey Madness, the set of symbols is as concise as possible. The most valuable is a gold bar, for which you can get the largest win when you hit a line of three. It is followed by watermelons, pineapples, coconuts, bananas and mask. The main feature is Monkey Wild, which not only replaces any other symbols (except for itself) but also increases payouts per line. Two Wilds in a combination can really give a "charge" of emotions, because the winnings immediately become nine times larger. All symbols are designed in a tropical style, the colours are bright, the design is simple, but pleasing to the eye.

The maximum win is x4000 of the bet, but only if you catch a line of three gold bars with two Wild monkeys on the same line (that is, catch the rarest and most expensive combination). In practice, most often the winnings are more modest, but sometimes the slot can give out an unexpected x100-x200 due to the multipliers from Monkey. The volatility is medium — the slot can keep the balance for a long time, but without sharp drawdowns or protracted empty series.

The graphics are simple and without unnecessary pathos: large, bright symbols, funny animations when winning, and sound effects in the style of "tropics plus classics". The background is palm trees and the sun, the interface is intuitive, the reels spin quickly, and the sound is not annoying even with a long session. Everything is made to resemble real old slot machines, but with modern comfort.

Monkey Madness is ideal for fans of simple retro slot machines who do not need complex bonuses. The slot will appeal to both beginners - everything is very clear from the first spin, and fans of quick sessions who love short game cycles with a chance of a sharp win due to the multiplier. If you want to spin without any problems and wait for a "surprise" only from Wild, the slot is yours.

It is best to choose a small bet and stretch the game - with medium volatility, the slot allows you to keep on balance even with unsuccessful series. I do not advise you to immediately chase the maximum bets: the main potential of the slot is revealed only if you catch a Wild on a winning line, which does not happen every time. The default RTP of Monkey Madness is 96.16%, but Pragmatic Play allows the casino to lower this percentage – be sure to check the rate in your slot before starting your session.
