Monkey’s Money is not the most appealing slot you will ever see, though to be fair you don’t usually expect that anyway when you’re looking at a classic slot machine. This Microgaming slot machine is indeed themed around a monkey, shown grinning at you, wearing sunglasses and eating a banana. It’s not a very appealing look for the monkey, and the slot machine isn’t very attractive either. For the most part it’s filled with classic icons, but some are themed.
The slot’s main characteristics are the same as those from other classic titles, offering a wild symbol, 3 reels with 1 line on them and a payout of $15,000.
Features of Monkey’s Money
The game will give you a single feature, a wild symbol that can help you out by bringing you more wins as you keep playing it. It’s a wild without multipliers, but that doesn’t stop it from being a useful addition to the slot.
The wild has the power to act as another symbol, as a Joker of sorts, but it has to appear on the payline and in the position where it’s needed, in order to be of any help. One or two wilds present on the payline will act as the rest of the matching symbols from the line, and a new combo will be formed.
The wild symbol is the same one that can award the top jackpot of 3,000 coins, and it does this by landing three symbols together.
Betting options and jackpots
You can bet 1 or 2 coins, though it’s a good idea to always use both of them, as that gives you a much better top payout. These coins are valued between $0.25 and $5, so with both at the highest level you end up with a $10 bet.
If you’re lucky enough to land three Monkey symbols on the line, and you used 2 coins in your bet that round, you end up with a 3,000 coins jackpot. It can mean up to $15,000 cash.
Design and symbols
The game has an abstract orange and red background picture, with purple and green columns for the paytable, while the reels were kept white. A monkey with sunglasses, dressed in a purple suit and holding a banana, is shown in the logo area, and he’s grinning in your general direction. There are monkey and banana symbols on the reels, but the majority remains formed out of classic icons.
Symbols: Monkey (3,000 coins, wild), Red Seven (600 coins), Three Bars (200 coins), Two Bars (80 coins), One Bar (30 coins) and Bananas (20 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
With so many alternatives available out there, the only thing that sets this game apart is the theme that is used. If it’s something you enjoy, go for it.
You will find Monkey’s Money at any online casino which chooses to use software from Microgaming, playable either for free or for real money.
