Funky Monkeys Slot Review 2024

Funky Monkeys

Funky Monkeys, this 5 reel, 20 payline game, was designed by OpenBet, with a $20,000 jackpot, and with wild symbols and scatters, free spins and multipliers.

This slot has a music theme, with monkeys thrown in, as the players in a band. The background used is the night sky, full of stars, while the reels use symbols that are mostly music related. Those that are not music related, the playing cards from 9 to A, are still designed with a psychedelic theme. As for the rest of the symbols in the game, you will find on them images with monkeys playing the guitar, playing the boards, the trumpet, the drums, singing in a microphone or simply dancing.

The game's wager values are composed based on the number of paylines the bet is made on, and the value of the coins used for each payline. Up to 20 coins/paylines are selected by the player, after which the coin denomination is chosen, between $0.25 and $50. If the maximum values are selected in both cases, the maximum bet is $1,000. The top jackpot, awarded when the coin value is at $50, is $10,000, but that value can double if a wild is part of the winning combo.

You need five symbols with the orange haired monkey if you want that top jackpot, and they all have to occupy the same payline. The prize is reduced to 150 coins if there are only four symbols, and to 50 coins if there are only three of them.

Three special symbols are used in the game: the wild, the scatter and the feature symbol.

The wild symbol will substitute for other symbols, as it usually does, and it will also multiply their value by 2, so it's especially important because of that feature. The 2x multiplier should apply to the top jackpot as well, so only with it you can win the biggest amount possible in this game.

The scatter is the second symbol, and it pays between 2x and 10x the bet, plus it gives away 15 to 25 free spins, when three to five of these symbols show up anywhere on the reels.

The feature symbol is the last one, and it starts a bonus round when a minimum of three symbols of this type appear on one of the paylines.

The psychedelic music theme of this slot appeals only to some people, so I expect the slot's audience to be limited as well. With $10,000 top jackpots you can't say that this is a bad slot though.
