Monster Money - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you enjoyed Worms Reloaded, you may also like Monster Money. This vividly drawn slot from Bwin.Party is set in a mansion, which is more of a haunted house, where a mad professor has built his laboratory. Played on five reels, the different pieces of his monster join lab equipment for you to try to land winning combinations on the 25 paylines or trigger the bonus game. Read on for our full Monster Money slot review.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Where do you find monsters? When it comes to the Frankenstein creatures of this world, they are often made in labs by scientists with dubious ethics. Luckily, the Monster Money slot balances the horror elements of its origins with a sense of fun, with its graphics leaning towards being cartoony. There are plenty of bold colours, which always makes a slot more engaging.

The reels are fairly large, narrowing your glimpse of the lab in the background. In some ways, this adds to the sense of mystery with the beakers of strange liquids in unusual colours. As for what is being made, you can see the disembodied green hands and floating brains amongst the symbols. Add them all together and you could have a full monster. You will also get a glimpse of the outside of the haunted house and a scared-looking peasant man with a flaming torch, amongst others.

Monster Money RTP and variance

The RTP is where Monster Money is a little disappointing, at least when compared with other online slots. We prefer a figure over 96 per cent, but here we have a significantly below-average 93.35 per cent.

The volatility is more promising. It is medium variance, which suggests a good balance. Wins should be both reasonably frequent and reasonably sized without too many high or low extremes. We always recommend trying free casino slots to get a feel for the gameplay and returns.

How to play Monster Money

Pull the lever and see whether your monster comes to life:

1. The layout won’t be completely unfamiliar if you have played a Bwin.Party online slot before. Indeed, any slot machine will have similar kinds of controls, although perhaps in a different order. Here, they are all under the reels.
2. Any sensible slots player will set themselves a budget before they start gambling. To do this, you need to know your balance, which means looking at the figure to the bottom right. 
3. In fact, all the displays (balance, credits, bet and win) are useful for tracking your wins and losses to ensure your gambling doesn’t get out of hand. Even in free casino slots, it is good practice to gamble responsibly.
4. There are two more displays in the centre: your current bet and lines. You can adjust these before you play by using the arrows.
5. Other settings include the volume button in the top right-hand corner and the max bet button floating towards the right.
6. If you need to know more about the gameplay, symbol values and features, you will find the paytable behind the view pays button to the bottom right.
7. Alongside the floating max bet are the floating autoplay and floating spin buttons. 

Don’t forget to take regular breaks and always play responsibly. Timeout and self-exclusion functions are available if you need them.

Bet & win sizes

Online slots, like slot machines in a bricks and mortar casino, come with a range of bet levels. The Monster Money online slot starts as low as you can go at 0.01 a line. The maximum bet is 250.

As with many other online slots, you win on Monster Money when you match between three and five regular symbols or between two and five special symbols across a payline. The top prizes for five matching symbols are as follows:

• Screws, screen = 100
• Electrical rod scatter = 100
• Potion, bug = 150
• Hand, head = 200
• Brain = 300
• Peasant = 400
• Igor = 1,500
• Mansion = 2,000
• Professor = 5,000

Max-win 5,000x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 93.3%

Monster Money bonus round

We all love a slot with free spins, but this is only one kind of bonus feature. Monster Money goes a different way with the Monster Money bonus round, which is triggered by three or more scatters. Enter the Haunted House, then choose five of the eight doors. Every door with a monster behind it will award a prize; find the professor and you can triple all your prizes.

Monster Money review: our verdict

What do we like in our online slots? Good graphics? Check. Smooth yet thrilling gameplay? Check. An exciting feature? Check again. Monster Money has everything you could want, as long as you are a fan of mad professors making dangerous monsters. It more than makes up for the low RTP.
