Monkey Money Slot Machine

Monkey Money is the name of a BetSoft slot machine with 5 reels and 9 lines, with coin values going from 0.05 to 1.00. The game features a bonus round, which the player can use to get some extra credits. The value of the bet varies from 0.05 to 45.00 for every spin, with up to 5 bets on each of the 9 paying lines. You have to get symbols that start from the beginning at the left side in order to win. Usually you will need a minimum of three of these symbols in order to win something, but you can get a small prize with just two symbols, if you get two plums or cherries. In order to get the maximum prize of 25,000 coins, the player needs to collect all five golden coins with monkeys on them on a paying line.

Just like in any other slot machine, you have to match different symbols (and monkeys) in order to win prizes. The game will not appeal to everyone, but it has some nice features and things that will keep plenty of players happy.

The Monkey Theme

As the name suggests, the machine has a theme that focuses on monkeys and on fruit. You get monkey symbols, bananas, cherries, plums, oranges, watermelons, palm trees and 7s. Overall, the graphics are cartoonish, so they will not be everyone's cup of tea, but they can be fun to play with.

Playing Monkey Money

The player starts out by choosing the coin's value. The smallest value one can choose is 0.05, with the highest value being 1.00. The second step is to choose the pay lines that they want to bet on, from the 9 that are available. The third step is to choose how many bets they want for each of those 9 lines. Once the selections are made, the SPIN button can be used to start Monkey Money.

If the player chooses to use the button marked with Bet Max, he doesn't have to go through the first three steps we mentioned, since he will place the maximum amount of 45 chips on the game and the SPIN will be started automatically.

In order to get a winning combination, the symbols that match have to start from the first reel to the left.

Bonus Rounds

One of the main features of Monkey Money is its bonus round, where the player gets the chance to make some extra money. In order to start a Bonus Round, a total of three coconuts have to be collected on the reels. The coconuts can be collected during different games, since they accumulate at the bottom of the screen, in the monkey's arms. Once the monkey gets its arms full with the three coconuts, the Bonus Round will be activated.

During the Bonus Round, you get a screen with four palm trees, each one with two coconuts. When you click on those coconuts, the Monkey goes up the palm tree and opens up the coconut, showing you how much you won. You can keep choosing coconuts until one of them turns out to be a bad coconut, ending the Bonus Round in the process.

Conclusions

Overall, this is not one of the more advanced slot machine games, so it will be a good choice for beginners. For advanced players though, it doesn't have the features that attract them, things like progressive jackpots, lots of bonus rounds and lots of pay lines.
