Yggdrasil, the renowned gaming studio, has recently launched its latest core title, Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax. This exciting game is centered around the studio’s proprietary MultiMax Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM), which offers players the opportunity to land unlimited multipliers to improve winning opportunities.
MultiMax mechanic
The MultiMax mechanic is a fan favorite, as it allows every win to be multiplied by up to five different multipliers associated with each of the game’s reels. What sets it apart is that if multiple reel multipliers are applied to a win, they are multiplied together, rather than simply being added.
Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax also features an engaging avalanche feature. When players achieve a winning combination, the symbols involved in the win disappear from the reels, leaving space for new symbols to drop down and potentially create additional winning combinations.
Free spins bonus
The game’s free spins bonus round introduces even more excitement. During this bonus round, the reel multipliers do not reset, ensuring that players have a chance to accumulate even bigger wins. Additionally, bomb symbols can land anywhere on the reels after a losing spin and explode, potentially triggering unexpected wins.
There are three power levels associated with the bomb symbols. In level one, the bomb blows up one slot position, which then triggers an avalanche. Level two sees the bomb blowing up one slot position and all adjacent positions, while level three causes the bomb to blow up one slot position and all positions up to two spaces away.
For those eager to dive straight into the heart of the action, Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax offers an option to bet 95x their stake, instantly triggering the highly sought-after free spins bonus.
Tomasz Kowalik, head of games production at Yggdrasil, said:
The MultiMax GEM has become a staple of our top tier offering over the last couple of years and players have grown to truly love it which is why we’re proud to showcase it once more in Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax.
Fans of high volatility gameplay with action-packed features and mechanics including avalanches, wilds and ever-increasing multipliers are in for a real treat!”
Gamingslots review
Summary
Monkey go Bananas slot is a 243-way game with pirate monkeys and reel multipliers, with winning symbols removed in tumbles. Each time you win a Wild is added to the grid and the monkey above its column adds +1 multiplier to the reel multiplier for any win it is subsequently involved in. Symbols are stacked too with scatters only on the middle 3 reels for your 8 free games where wins pay both ways and the reel multipliers do not reset between each spin. You can now get a bomb to remove symbols on losing spins, the more effective each level it goes up. Given the low 5-of-a-kind pays of 3.6 down to 0.4x stake, you'll need many wins and multipliers to stack up in the bonus to get anywhere near the cannon ball of a weighty 10,000x stake maximum win.
The Pros
