Monkey King is a brand new online slot game that has just come out, created by the development team at Yggdrasil. It is jam packed with countless features that make this looks like a fantastic slot on paper, but is it? We decided to give it a go and review the title properly so we can tell you how good, or bad it is.
Monkey King Theme and Graphics
The theme of Monkey King may not seem immediately apparent. Obviously the name tells us it’s going to have something to do with a Monkey, but what exactly? Well, the game actually has a Chinese mythological theme, focusing on the mythological figure known as Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
As for the visuals, Yggdrasil has done a fantastic job bringing this slot game to like. The background is a Chinese temple and the reels are filled with symbols of crows, goblets, scrolls, shields and potions, all drawn with a Chinese look and feel. The Monkey King also makes several appearances during gameplay and is smoothly animated and looks great.
Monkey King Features
Monkey King really is packed with awesome features that include sticky Wilds, a treasure chest that gives players a cash prize, free spins and a wide betting range. This all comes together to create this amazing product from Yggdrasil.
- Monkey King features five reels but no traditional paylines. Instead it is a Win All Ways slot, where players need to get three identical symbols next to each other.
- The minimum bet is 25p, while the high rollers out there can spend up to £125 per spin.
- The sticky Wild appears on reels two and four and will remain there for the next spin when it forms a winning combination.
- There’s also a countdown Wild that will only appear on the middle reel and will stay for a predetermined amount of spins.
- The Monkey King himself will also appear from time to time and change one symbol to w Wild.
- Land three Free Spin symbols and you’ll win free spins but you’ll also get to choose from three Wild options. You’ll get six free spins with Incremental Wilds, eight free spins with Stacked Wilds and ten free spins with Starting Wilds.
Monkey King Conclusion
Overall we really enjoyed Monkey King, thanks to its great visual and theme. We found it to be a medium variance slot with great potential for big wins in the base game and the free spins. Yggdrasil has once again done a great job with this online slot game and we can highly recommend that you check it out.
