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

Introduction

Join the monsters as they prepare to party in the innovative and colourful slot Monster Parade from KA Gaming. Monster Parade comes with two independent 3x3 reels, each with nine fixed paylines.

You can match all manner of monster-inspired symbols to win on the reels. Look out for stacked wilds, which appear on the corresponding reel of the other game board, and the scatter symbols that hold the key to eight free spins.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

This title features an array of cute, anthropomorphised objects that make up the Monster Parade. Whilst the graphics on their own are well enough designed and created, the issue with this is that they would be more at home within a children's game. Of course, as an online slot, Monster Parade is very much not a children's game.

All aspects of this title, from the quirky soundtrack to the way in which the winning and expanding symbols animate, appear to have been produced to appeal to children, which is rather strange.

Monster Parade RTP and variance

The RTP and variance were not available at the time of writing; however, most online slots have a long-term average RTP of around 96 per cent and it can be expected that Monster Parade's RTP is around this level. The variance appears to be medium from inspecting the paytable, with balanced amounts appearing. Remember that any big wins you see available on the paytable will not come along very often and should not be relied upon.
 

How to play Monster Parade

1. To begin with, it is a good idea to take a look at the paytable. This is increasingly important for an innovative looking and playing title such as Monster Parade, as checking out the key game rules and payouts will help you to establish how the game works. The paytable is found by clicking the 'i' icon to the bottom right of the reels.
2. Set your bet by clicking the button to the left of the spin button. This will bring up the bet menu, which enables you to select an amount from the array of options.
3. Spin the reels once you are happy with your bet by clicking the spin button in the centre of the lower console.
4. You can spin the reels repeatedly by clicking and holding the spin button. This opens the autospin menu, which enables you to select up to 200 spins or even infinite spins to run without any interaction from you. Autospins can be stopped at any time by clicking the spin button again.
5. Always play Monster Parade responsibly by making sure you only spend money you can afford on the reels. Never chase losses, and never play with money you can’t afford to lose. When the fun stops, stop playing. Remember that you can play for free in demo mode here at Slots Temple.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

You can bet between 0.45 and 1,800.00 on a spin in Monster Parade, making this a game that will suit players with all manner of budgets.

Monster Parade bonus features

Wild

The wild symbol substitutes for all in-game symbols apart from the scatter.

Stacked wilds

Three stacked wild symbols can appear at any point. When they take over a reel on one board, the stacked wild will take up the corresponding reel on the other board, giving you twice the chance of a nice win.

Scatter

If the scatter symbol appears on the same reel of both game boards, you will receive eight free spins. When the free spins are taking place, there is an increased chance to hit stacked wilds on both reels.

Monster Parade review: our verdict

This title is well enough designed and has a very interesting and engaging gameplay mechanic. The biggest issue by far about this title is that it looks to have been designed to be played by children. As an online slot, developers should be more careful about not producing titles that look like they are going to appeal to younger players.
