Monkey Jackpot Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Monkey Jackpot review: introduction 

Monkey Jackpot is a 5x5 reel game that is played on 25 fixed paylines. Players have the chance to win one of four jackpots in addition to enjoying various other bonus features that are available in the game. The top payout of 250x your bet may seem poor but the chance to win the top jackpot or double your wins makes up for a low top prize. 

Overall theme 

You will be swinging amongst the trees with the monkeys in this Belatra slots game. It is pretty poor graphically, with the background very blurry and not high-definition, and there are no animations with the jungle-themed symbols. Overall, the look and theme of this game is a bit of a disappointment if you like crisp, clear online slots. If you enjoy the theme of this game and want more ape-based action, check out the Monkey's Gold slot demo here at Slots Temple. 

Monkey Jackpot RTP and variance

Monkey Jackpot also falls short on its RTP. It comes in well below the industry average at 94.35 per cent, which is a real let-down for an online slot. The game also has high variance, so playing for real money will be a huge risk. While there may be larger prizes on offer, they don’t come in very often and you will have to wait a while to get any sort of return on your money. 

How to play Monkey Jackpot

There are only a few controls that you need to understand before you get started. We have outlined the basics below so that you can get to grips with how the game works: 

1. Bets can be increased and decreased using the left and right arrows on either side of the betting window. 
2. Clicking the green spin button will spin the reels once at this bet amount. 
3. Auto start makes the reels spin on their own. 
4. All the other settings and information for the game can be found in the hamburger menu, which sits to the bottom-left of the screen. 

Bet sizes & paytable wins 

One good thing that Monkey Jackpot has going for it is its range of bets. You can start out with one credit per payline, which means the minimum bet is 25 coins. This amount goes all the way up to a maximum bet of 5,000 coins per spin, so there are a decent number of options to suit many budgets. 

There is a range of symbols you will need to use in Monkey Jackpot to get a cash prize from the reels. Below we have set out the multipliers you will receive on your total bet if you can land five matching symbols across an active payline: 

• Jack, queen, king = 0.6x multiplier 
• Ace, drum = 0.8x multiplier 
• Maracas, coconuts = 1.6x multiplier 
• Pineapple, toucan, bananas = 2x multiplier 
• Monkey = 10x multiplier 

Monkey Jackpot bonus features

Wild symbol 

The monkey is the game’s wild symbol, substituting for all the basic symbols in the game to help create better wins. 

Free spins 

The scatter symbol is represented by a smaller monkey on a green background. Landing three or more of this symbol triggers the free spins round. Three scatters gives you three free games, four gives you four, and five gives you five free spins. In the free spins round, the reels shrink to a 3x3 layout and five paylines. 

Jackpots 

Landing three matching symbols in the free spins round will trigger the jackpot associated with the symbol. The jackpots are a progressive feature and increase based on your bet size and which jackpot you land: 

Three monkeys = king jackpot 
Three toucans = toucan jackpot 
Three pineapples = pineapple jackpot 
Three bananas = banana jackpot 
Three coconuts = coconut jackpot 

The three fruit-based jackpots are all for the same amount, with this increasing as you work up the list. You can only win one of these jackpots in each game you play. 

Risk games 

There are two separate risk games in Monkey Jackpot. You can change which one is activated in the settings menu or turn them off altogether. Whenever a win is landed in the base game, you are offered the chance to risk your winnings for a better prize. 

Card double 

In this round, you can either double your win or lose it altogether for a maximum of five rounds. If you choose a card that is higher than the dealer’s, your win is doubled. 

Red-or-black cards

Your win can be multiplied by two or four times with this gamble feature. You have to guess the colour of the card shown to double your winnings; alternatively, guess the correct suit and the win is quadrupled. This will also last for five rounds as long as you don’t lose. 

Max-win 250x

Volatility High

RTP 94.35%

Our verdict 

Monkey Jackpot had so much potential with the gamble features and jackpots, but the graphics really let it down. The RTP is poor and the visuals are terrible to look at thanks to their blurry quality. Overall, we wouldn’t recommend this game to any seasoned slots player.
