PlayNGo have just released a new game called Monkey: Battle for the Scrolls, and it’s based on the popular TV show Monkey. I still remember watching it years ago, and it’s great to see it being used here. There are 4 main characters, each with their own features as we’ll soon see. Visually, it’s a very impressive game and they’ve done a great job with the design overall. There are 5 reels and 3 rows to give you 243 ways to win. Just spin the reels and try to get a winning combination from left to right using the following base symbols:
- Jack, Queen, King or Ace
- Green Monk
- Blue Priestess
- Pink Pig
- Monkey
Monkey: Battle For The Scrolls Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbols. These are shown as a golden dragon and they substitute for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatters.
Scatter Symbols. These are actually 3 different scatter symbols in this game, each triggering different features. There are demon scatters that trigger the character features, closed scroll scatters that trigger free spins and open scroll scatters that trigger characters.
Trigger Character Features. Each of the main 4 characters in this game can appear above the reels, moving with each spin. If a demon scatter lands on a reel with a character above it, that feature will then trigger:
- Monkey Feature. This can add stacked wilds to the screen.
- Pig Feature. This splits symbols to create more ways to win.
- Priestess Feature. This adds random wilds to the screen.
- Green Monk. This turns random symbols into matching symbols.
Mini Jackpot Bonus. Sometimes 2 or 3 bonus symbols will appear on the middle reel, giving you either 100x or 500x your stake, respectively.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered with 3 closed scroll scatter symbols, giving you the choice of 4 different bonuses. These are based on each character and have different volatilities. The monkey bonus is the most volatile, with 5 free spins and a 20x multiplier. The pig bonus gives you 10 free spins and a 15x multiplier, and the priestess gives you 20 free spins and a 5x multiplier, being the least volatile. Alternatively, you can choose the monk who can give you as much as 15 free spins with a 25x multiplier, or as little as 3 free spins with up to a 100x multiplier. The character with the bonus you choose will always appear above the reels and their features are triggered with open scroll scatters landing on that reel.
Conclusion
Monkey: Battle for the Scrolls is based on one of the greatest TV shows of all time that I thoroughly enjoyed growing up. The game looks great and I love how there are different features associated with each character, as well as the option to choose a bonus for each one. This will depend on how volatile you want the game to be, but it’s hard to resit going for the monk in the hope of getting a 100x multiplier. Overall, it’s a very fun and engaging slot with a terrific design that I’d highly recommend.
