Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax Slot Review

Embark on an incredible ocean trip with a team of seasoned monkey sailors led by the captain, who plays the Scatter role and can invite you to enter the Bonus FS Game, packed with excitement and high chances for a bounty of big wins up to x10,000 times over stake. Those last ones are possible due to the unlimited Reel Multipliers that boost your cash prizes many times, and Bomb Symbols, giving you a chance to get a win even if there are no winning combinations. Moreover, those Reel Multipliers are also in the Base Game alongside the Tumble feature, which allows you to reap multiple wins per spin. Now, let us explain all those highlighted above features in more detail.

Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax Bonus Features

Features are abundant here, including special symbols (Wild, Bomb Symbol, Scatter), Reel Multipliers, and a true highlight of this gamble — Free Spins. So, let us explore all of the mentioned above in order.

Win All Ways

It needs a minimum of 3 symbols placed on the consecutive reels to get a cash prize. Though, in the Base Game, wins are awarded from left to right, in the Bonus one, in both directions, except for winning combinations of 5-of-a-kind pics, which always still pay only from left to right.

Avalanche feature

Each winning symbol of a prize combination is removed just after the corresponding payout is credited to the balance. All empty spaces fill with new pics or those above. That allows you a chance to form a new winning sequence. Avalanches never stop while there are still winning combinations.

Wild

The Wild appears on the screen in a random place each time the Avalanche function triggers the symbols avalanche dropping down after disappearing another one winning sequence. This special symbol substitutes any paying one and increases the Multiplier of the reel it is currently on by +1. The Wild doesn’t bring payments of itself. It is in the Base and Bonus Game.

MultiMax Multipliers

After each avalanche, the Wild appears in a random position on the playfield, raising the Multiplier of the reel it is currently on by +1, and there is no maximum limit to the Multiplier value. To all the winning combinations crossing that reel, its MultiMax Multiplier will be applied. If two or more Reel Multipliers are involved, their multiplier values are multiplied before applying to the cash prize you got. In the Base Game, every active Reel Multiplier (x2+) resets to the x1 value before a new spin starts.

Scatter

The Scatter (The Captain) lands only within 2 —4 reels exclusively during the Base game. Three Scatters grant you 8 Free Spins. Also, the Scatter doesn’t bring payments of itself.

Free Spins 

In the Bonus FS Game, wins are awarded in both directions (left-to-right and vice versa). The only exception is the 5-symbol prize sequences, which bring payouts only once.

Another difference compared to the Base mode is Reel Multipliers that don’t reset until the end of Free Spins. Sadly, there is no possibility of getting extra FS.

Bomb Symbol

This symbol appears only during the Bonus Game within a no-wins Free Spin. There are three types of Bomb Symbol, differentiating by blowing power. The bigger the explosion capacity, the bigger the number of paying symbols that will be destroyed and replaced. So, the more destructive the Bomb, the more chances to win.

Buy Bonus Feature

Fortunately, a convenient option for instant beginning Free Spins is provided. Thanks to that, you are allowed to start the Bonus Game any moment you want. That will cost you x95 by the stake. 

Our Experience Playing Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax

Also, we made a practical experiment of playing this game using real money. We allocated to this ‘well possible’ mission as much as €200. The stake per each spin was €1. That was the video slot with the RTP value of 94%. Looking ahead, eventually, we won as much as €269.95. Let’s explain how that became possible.

During the 1st hundred spins, we had 32 Base game wins from €0.1 to €8.4. Sadly, 17 of those turned lower than the stake. Unfortunately, there wasn’t even one Free Spins Round. As a result, after the 100th spin, we had only €146.65 on the balance.

The 2nd hundred spins allowed us to activate as many as two bonus games, which brought us a total of €430.6. Also, there were 26 regular prizes, including the biggest of €16.15. Thus, after the 200th spin, we had as much as €530.85.

The 3rd hundred spins presented us with the last Bonus Game, which earned only €8.4. The number of Base Game wins was 20. The biggest regular prize totaled €8.2. After the 300 spins over, we had as much as €469.95. Hence, we earned precisely €269.95.

Here are the statistics:

Reel Multiplier mechanics tightly linked with the Tumble feature appeared perfectly lucrative, especially given the possibility of the situation when several reels with x2+ Multipliers are involved, which are multiplied before applying. That provides a high chance to snatch a bounty of big wins, but mainly due to the swashbuckling FS Round, where Reel Multipliers don't reset till the very end of the Bonus Game. Yet, unfortunately, even that doesn’t guarantee a mind-blowing win per each Bonus Game, since just one of those has earned us €366, whereas two others — only €64.6 and €8.4.

Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax Verdict

To sum things up, this is an incredibly engaging and profitable video slot with unique Reel Multipliers mechanics that promise a thrilling diversion and, sometimes, even big enough prizes. As we noted, a true highlight of this game is the Bonus Game due to the non-resetting Reel Multipliers & the Bomb Symbol that allows to start a symbols avalanche when there are no wins at some Free Spin. Yet, unfortunately, there is no opportunity to prolong the Bonus Game using extra FS.

Also, two different RTP versions of this slot are available — with 94% and 90.5% RTP values. So, be careful. And, of course, the bigger the ‘Return To Player’ percentage, the better. Also, there are a lot of payments which are lower than the bet. Yet, the well-creative duo of the Avalanche feature and Reel Multiplier mechanics efficiently compensate for that drawback. So, if you love the Pirate theme, adore monkeys, and have nothing against big wins, this gamble is definitely well-suited to your taste.
