Banana Monkey is a five reel Playtech slot which features the coolest monkey around. The reels are packed with animated icons, include stacked wilds, free spins and the chance to swing from tree to tree for cash rewards up to $12,500.

Banana Monkey Slot Theme

The slot begins with a video showing the banana monkey shaking his favorite banana tree. This isn’t the last time you’ll see this cuddly cutie either, as he makes an appearance on the animated reel icons and during the bonus round.

Once the reels have loaded you’re in for a real treat as the whole slot is as lively as the jungle itself. The reels are surrounded by jungle plants, the buttons are designed to look like planks of wood and the reels icons entertain as many of them are animated.

The reel icons include a zebra (turns his head), swinging monkeys, smiling monkeys, stretching giraffes, watermelons, coconuts and colorful 9, 10, J, Q, K and A designs. These are accompanied by a jungle beat soundtrack and a number of entertaining sound effects coming from the monkey and his jungle buddies.

Betting Options and More Functions

Not all Playtech slots include auto spins, but this one does. Players can select any number of auto starts using the menu on the left, during play this button transforms into a stop button so you can halt the spins at any time.

Players can choose to press the gamble button after any win. This presents the dealers card on the left and your goal is to pick a card which is higher from the five shown. You can choose to bet all, bet half or collect your winnings at any time (before making an incorrect choice obviously).

Banana Monkey Slot Features

The wilds on Banana Monkey are stacked which means plenty of opportunities to win by substitution. This wild will make you smile due to the extra wins and make you chuckle due to the animated sequences.

Wicker baskets are positioned below each reel, designed to catch falling bananas shaken from the branch by the monkey. Every time the banana icon appears the monkey will cause it to fall into the basket, when four have been collected you will be given up to 8 free games with a 3x multiplier.

The banana bonus is awarded when three a monkey icon appears on the first, third and fifth reels. This takes you to another screen with three banana trees which the monkey begins to climb. You use the arrows on the screen to switch from tree to tree to collect as many bananas as you can. The bananas are added together and any bonus wins are credited after the round has finished. This round is entertaining for a number of reasons, first off it requires your input, second it uses voice overs which sound remarkably like Chris Rock and finally it pays well.

Our Take on Banana Monkey

Banana Monkey is solidly constructed, hugely entertaining and a breeze to use. The 0.01 to $100 betting range ensures players can bet an amount suited to them, many of the below casinos offer the slot for free play too.
