BASE GAME SYMBOLS & PAYS
Below is the paytable for the different high-value symbols.
| PAYTABLE | ||||||
| Number of Appearance in a Pay Line | SYMBOL | |||||
| Monkey | Old Man | Prince and Purple Princes | Beast and Green Princess | Sword and Banjo | Castle and Snake | |
| 5 | 1000 | 1,000 | 400 | 300 | 250 | 200 |
| 4 | 50 | 50 | 40 | 30 | 24 | 20 |
| 3 | 34 | 24 | 20 | 10 | 8 | 6 |
| 2 | 4 | 4 | – | – | – | – |
All these numbers are multipliers, so they would not change regardless of your bet size. As a 50-credit game, these multipliers will be applied to your bet per line.
The minimum bet per round is 0.50, and the maximum is 500 coins. All pay lines are active on every spin; you cannot choose how many lines to activate per round. Your bet per line is equal to your total wager divided by 50 lines.
To win, you must land at least three same symbols on adjacent reels. The exception to this is the old man and the monkey, both of which require only two symbols.
The symbols must be on specific positions on any of the 50 lines, and must start on the leftmost reel. Despite requiring only two symbols, the old man and the monkey must still start from the leftmost reel, and must be on specific spots according to the pay line design.
The slot game only pays from left to right, and will only pay the higher win should there be two winning combos on a single pay line.
BONUS GAMES & FEATURES
The game has wild, scatters, and other features.
- Wild – substitutes for all symbols to help make a winning combo. It does not substitute for the scatter. If used as a substitute, it prize for that line is doubled. The wild is stacked on reels 2, 3 and 4.
- Scatter – this one pays coins as shown below:
- 5x – 400
- 4x – 30
- 3x – 4
- 2x – 2
- These prizes are multiplied against your total bet, not your line bet. If you wagered 500 coins for a spin and landed two scatters, your prize is 1,000 coins (500 coins x 2 for the prize).
- Free Games – you will be rewarded with 10 free games if you landed three or more scatters. During the bonus round, the Monkey Warrior will become stacked in all reels if it appears. All wins during the bonus round are also tripled.
During the free games, the online slot would use the same bet size that triggered the three scatter symbols. No bet will be taken off your balance during the bonus round.
SUMMARY
We are rating this Golden Monkey slot game 7.3 out of 10 points in our review. While it has wild and scatter symbols, the four rows make it a little difficult to land winning combinations. The stacked wild is a great addition, as it improves a player’s chances of winning.
