Play Monkey Bonanza Slot Game

Monkeys and bananas seem inseparable in pop culture, but Monkey Bonanza is a cheeky twist on this trope. Developed by NorthernLights in collaboration with Games Global, this slot goes deep into the jungle. The game introduces a cheerful primate protagonist, whose antics on the reels are anything but ordinary. Whether or not bananas are part of a wild monkey’s natural diet is up for debate, but in Monkey Bonanza, they’re definitely key to unlocking some jungle mischief.

At its core, Monkey Bonanza is a 5-reel, 3-row slot offering 10 fixed paylines. Wins are created by landing three or more matching symbols on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel. The minimum bet is set at a modest amount of 0.10, making it accessible for casual players. From vivid animations to the reggae-inspired soundtrack, every detail adds to the breezy jungle vibe.

NorthernLights has a knack for combining creative themes with clever features. Monkey Bonanza follows in the footsteps of titles like Gods of Rock, which introduced their signature Jumbo symbols. While the two slots are thematically worlds apart, their shared focus on mechanics makes Monkey Bonanza a worthy addition to the developer's catalogue.

The symbols in Monkey Bonanza reflect its jungle theme, featuring a mix of animals and lush greenery. Low-paying symbols include the plant-covered 10-A card ranks, while higher payouts come from creatures like frogs, lizards, parrots, and, of course, a fellow primate. A complete paytable is given below.

Apart from the paytable above, Monkey Bonanza also has a couple of special symbols to account for. The first is the Wild symbol, which substitutes for regular pay symbols and help create winning combinations. However, the Wild also comes with its own payout potential, paying out 1x, 2x, and 3.5x for a line of 3, 4, or 5 of a kind, respectively.

Apart from the Wild, there’s also the Free Spins symbol, responsible for activating the bonus feature of the same name. To activate this features, players need to collect at least three of these symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5.

Monkey Symbol

Monkey Bonanza introduces two types of Monkey symbols: the regular Monkey and the Jumbo Monkey. While the standard Monkey symbol appears in features like Banana Bonanza, the Jumbo Monkey can occupy up to a 3x3 space on the grid.

Banana Bonanza and Super Monkey Spin

When the Jumbo Monkey fully lands on the grid, it triggers the Banana Bonanza feature. This round starts with three respins, during which only Monkey symbols or wilds can land on the reels. Each new symbol resets the respin counter, and all wilds remain locked in place. At the end of Banana Bonanza, the Super Monkey Spin is activated. During this spin, any empty positions on the grid are filled only with symbols that remain active on the Banana Splat Bar.

Piggy Bank & Win

Gold coins carrying values of up to 50x the bet can land on the reels during the base game or free spins. If these coins appear alongside a Collect symbol on reel 5, their values are added to your total winnings.

Free Spins

Landing three free spins symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 triggers five free spins. During this round, reels 2, 3, and 4 merge into a single jumbo reel, increasing the potential for big wins. Unlike regular spins, these jumbo reels can land oversized symbols, which are key to potentially securing higher payouts.

Monkey Bonanza delivers a jungle adventure packed with quirky features and oversized symbols. However, it is not the only light-hearted slot out there. For a similar experience check out The Jungle Empire and Banana Drop by Crazy Tooth Studio, both available at Heart Bingo.
