Play Monkey King Slot Machine & Read our Review

Monkey King is a video slot game that has an Eastern theme. The legend used in this slot is well known and you can find a number of other video slots online that have the same theme.

The animations and visual details in Monkey King are on a high level making it attractive to players. The background music also has an Eastern touch and is in tone with the fast game play. Overall the game looks great and many players will find it attractive as most of the other games from this software provider.

Developers

Monkey King is developed by Yggdrasil Software. This company has a great reputation in the online gambling industry and is slowly attracting more new players each day.

Their games have great visual effects and animations and are somewhat different from the rest of the video slot games that can be found online. Yggdrasil Software is known to produce unique slot games with an interesting theme and attractive bonus features.

How to Play

The minimum bet to spin the reels on Monkey King is set at $0.25 while the maximum goes up to $125 per spin. There are no standard pay lines and winning combinations are formed with 3 or more of the same symbols starting from the first or last 3 reels.

Each additional symbol that lands on the same reels contributes to the overall payout multiplier. The total bet size is regulated by the coin size button and for long sessions players can use the auto spin button with an infinite number of auto spins.

Special Features

We are used to seeing video slot games from Yggdrasil Software that have a very rich and interesting portfolio of bonus features. Monkey King is no exception and players can enjoy a big number of features which can be triggered at any spin. Almost all of the features in this game are based on the wild symbol. Players can randomly trigger the sticky or the countdown wilds feature or even both at the same time.

The sticky wilds only land on reels 2 and 4 and stay in place for as long as they contribute in a winning combination in a spin. This way with only two of these wilds on both reels you can make a big number of spins and increase your balance.

The countdown wild can only land on the central reel and will remain in place for 3 consecutive spins. If you are lucky to get all of the wilds at the same time on the reels, even 3 spins can bring a big win. There is a catch to this feature however.

If the wilds land on the reels and you increase your bet size, they will lose their function and leave the reels in the next spin. The Monkey King feature is triggered randomly and changes one symbol to form a winning combination on the reels. Not a very interesting feature but can help produce 5 of a kind wins.

The Treasure Chest symbol appears only on the last reel during base play and in the bonus game. It can award coin prizes or the free spins bonus in base play, while in the free spins bonus it can award a coin prize or 2 extra free spins. The maximum prize you can win in this feature is 1,000 coins.

The free spins bonus in Monkey King is triggered by landing 3 or more Free Spins symbols anywhere on the reels. The player can select one of the 3 free spins available. Incremental Wilds feature awards 6 free spins with sticky wilds on reels 2 and 4 and adds an extra wild in each spin, so in the last free spin you will have a total of 6 wilds on the screen.

Stacked Wilds feature awards 8 free spins with sticky wild symbols on reels 2 and 4 and a chance for a stacked nonsticky wild to land on reel 3. Starting Wild Feature awards 10 free spins with a staring sticky wild on the central reel and a chance for sticky wilds to land on reels 2 and 4.

Maximums Payout

Monkey King has a weak pay table with a 250 coins max payout for the highest paying symbol. Still because of the winning combinations design and the wild bonus features, mega big wins are more than possible.

Summary

Yggdrasil Software can always surprise us with their new releases. We had a chance to try Monkey King for real and we can only say that our balance increased to over 600 x bet in the first 100 spins, without triggering the free spins bonus. The sticky wilds are a great detail and can award medium wins for a big number of spins.
