Is there a person among you who doesn’t like monkeys? Really? But if I told you that I could show you some really funky monkeys? Just come and check them out, and you’ll boogie all night long with those little fellas! You can find them at your favorite RTG casino, under the name they rightfully possess: “Funky Monkey.”

This funny progressive video slot is played on 5 reels and 20 paylines. If you come out on the dance floor, you’ll meet some very interesting inhabitants of this jungle adventure: bongo monkey, funky superstar monkey, DJ monkey, safari jeep, platinum record, banana guitar, and funky poker symbols. You think this is it? Nope, this story goes on with a wild symbol, scatter symbols, multiplier, free spins, and last but not the least – some great funky tunes! So, “Funky Monkey” is not just about money, it’s actually about music, dance and a lot of fun, too.

However, if you do keep money in mind, here’s a little update for you: you can play this slot with as little as $0.01 per spin (minimum bet on one payline), or with as much as $100 per spin (maximum $5 bet on all 20 lines). And keep in mind that, no matter how much you play with, you can hit a random jackpot, which keeps growing before your eyes as you play. You can expect to strike it after each spin, so keep an eye for some fireworks whenever the reels stop.

Wild Symbol:

Funky Monkey symbol serves to replace all other symbols in order to form a winning combination. This doesn’t work only for scattered bananas and for Funky and Monkey logos. It’s also important to know that this wild symbol can be seen only on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Scatter Symbol(s):

To be precise, there are three scatter symbols in this slot. One of them, banana, serves just as a plain scatter, allowing you to form combinations out of the standard paylines. The other two work as a couple – Funky and Monkey logos, which appear on reel 1 and 5 (respectively), and when they appear together, they trigger a feature. In this bonus round you need to choose a monkey to play a funky tune. The audience will reach to the song, and the Monkey Meter will measure the strength of their applause. Depending on this, you’ll be awarded with up to 25 free games. During these free spins, Funky and Monkey logos serve as additional wild symbols, which can substitute for all other symbols, and also, there is a multiplier which increases for each of those two symbols before awarding pays. The multiplier goes from one, and may reach the ultimate 10x. After all this, you cannot expect to trigger any more free spins while this feature lasts.

It’s easy to like this game. It’s got an overall package: all the features a good slot should have, the music we all like, and it provides us with some good times and a fair chance to win. I wouldn’t ask for anything more, would you?
