Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax slot by Yggdrasil Gaming brings a playful monkey pirate theme, but unfortunately, the MultiMax mechanic doesn’t seem to get the boost it could have used. That said, some players might enjoy the quirky concept of monkey pirates, which does sound fun.
Visually, the game features five cute monkey characters overseeing the MultiMax multipliers. The backdrop consists of barrels and rough seas, giving the game a charming yet adventurous atmosphere.
The music in Monkeys Go Bananas is quite unique—surprisingly stirring and emotional, though it feels somewhat out of place for a light-hearted monkey pirate theme. Perhaps it’s a placeholder from the demo, but it does feel mismatched to the overall aesthetic.
It’s possible that Yggdrasil opted for the cute monkey swashbucklers in Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax to offset the fact that the game’s RTP is lower than their usual, sitting at 94%. Despite this, the game offers super-high volatility, which may seem intimidating, but it also means the potential for big wins is definitely there if luck is on your side.
The stake range is fairly flexible, starting at 20 cents and going up to $/€25 per spin. Additionally, there’s a free spins bonus buy option for players looking to dive straight into the action. If the reels are in your favor, the game’s high volatility could lead to solid rewards, despite the lower-than-average RTP.
Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax slot features a 5-reel, 3-row setup with 243 ways to win, and it offers the added advantage of paying both ways during free spins. The game includes:
- Low-Pay Symbols: Represented by the classic 9 to A royals, where landing a 5-of-a-kind (5 OAK) combination awards 0.4 to 0.8 times the bet.
- High-Pay Symbols: Consist of five unique character symbols, with a 5 OAK combination providing payouts of 1.6 to 3.6 times the bet.
This structure enhances the game’s potential for frequent wins and engaging gameplay, especially with the dual-direction payouts during the free spins round.
