Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom slot review

Is this a video slot or video bingo? Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom isn’t one of the Neko Games slots with spinning reels and lines of winning symbols; instead, it is about daubing numbers across the columns and rows of four bingo tickets. Of course, not many games of bingo take place in the jungle, where you join the titular monkey trying to pick banana treasures. If you are confused, here is our Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom slot review.

Welcome to the jungle

If we tell you a game is about monkeys and bananas, you are probably not expecting spaceships or seabeds. Their natural environment is the jungle. Like slots with a similar theme, thick, vibrant green foliage fills the background of Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom. Our eponymous Monkey King is a King Louis-type figure for Jungle Book fans, his fur somewhere between brown and orange, his crown gold.

The humble banana

So, why bananas? Why, of all the strange and wonderful fruits in the jungle, is the banana the one most associated with the monkey? It may be partly because of the banana’s distinctive look, because they are popular with humans, or because monkeys do eat bananas. Bananas are a convenient source of nutrients. 

In this game, the bingo format means it doesn’t have themed symbols like regular slots; however, bananas are prominent, particularly in the Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom bonus features. Who would have thought that picking bananas could increase your payout potential?

Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom RTP and variance

The RTP of the Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom slot is 95.09%. The variance is medium to high.

How to play Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom

Remember, this isn’t about spinning reels:

1. Just like when playing slots, you need to set a budget and limits first.


2. Casinos that let you use timeout or self-exclusion functions should let you apply them to bingo in addition to slots. Check your options.


3. Another thing that is common to both slots and bingo is wagering. Here, the minimum is 0.20 per ticket. 


4. When you press the play button, you will draw numbered balls instead of the reels spinning. Any that match your ticket numbers can be marked.


5. If you are still confused about the difference between slots and bingo, go to the menu and read the rules.

How to win at Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom

With no reels or paylines, winning at bingo isn’t like winning at slots. It is hard to find winning symbols when technically there are no symbols at all. The aim is to cross off the numbers on your tickets, which you can do by drawing the ball with that number.

It is a 90-ball base game, with 30 balls drawn in each round. Each ticket has five columns and three rows, meaning 60 numbers in total. There are 19 patterns to fill, up to the maximum of a full house. The wild ball acts like a wild symbol, substituting for any number (your choice), but there is no scatter symbol equivalent.

Top wins

• The lowest value win is for five numbers on one ticket across any of its rows. This will earn you 2x your bet.


• Other patterns are worth between 3x and 2,000x the original wager.


• A full house awards the biggest prize.


• Overall, the maximum win available in the base game is 3,400x.

Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom bonuses 

Modern slots often have lots of bonuses, such as a free spins bonus or extra win multiplier. Bingo games have fewer bonuses, except Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom. In addition to jackpot prizes, it has three pick games.

Banana Jackpots

You can’t trigger banana jackpots unless all four tickets are in play. Collect the bananas inside the balls and add them to the meter:

• 6 bananas = copper jackpot = 60x


• 7 bananas = silver jackpot = 160x


• 8 bananas = emerald jackpot = 1,000x


• 9 bananas = gold jackpot = 5,000x

Royal Picker

This is triggered through pattern three, whereby you complete all positions but the middle of the first, third and fifth columns. Keep picking treasures until you find the collect symbol. Up to eight treasures are available, with values between 20x and 80x.

Banana Tree 

Pattern two is the trigger, which this time means daubing all positions in the centre of columns two, three, and four. This time, you have to pick banana trees to work your way through five possible levels. Level one prizes start at 28x, with level five prizes going as high as 350x.

Vine 

Find pattern one, daubing all but the bottommost positions on the first and fifth reels. Again, it is a five-level pick game, this time with vines. Prizes start at 60x and can reach 500x if you reach the final level.

Max-win 3,400x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 95.09%

Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom review - summary 

Whatever you imagine when someone mentions bingo, it probably doesn’t involve a jungle, a monkey king, and a banana-picking bonus. Neko Games has tried to be creative with the Crazy Monkey Banana Kingdom slot, from making the graphics bright and modern to including more bonuses than usual. It is neither a slot nor classic bingo, so set your expectations appropriately. Be responsible.
