- Fun monkey theme with a bright design
- Unique respins feature that can be quite rewarding
- Familiar collection feature to earn more rewards
We haven’t reviewed too many game from Northern Lights Gaming in the past, but this one seems like a lot of fun with a colourful, monkey theme set in the jungle and it offers quite a few features too, but more on those later. You get to play on a 5×3 grid with 10 pay lines, and in order to get a win you just need a combination of 3 or more of the following symbols from left to right on any given spin:
- Jack
- Queen
- King
- Ace
- Frog
- Gecko
- Parrot
- Ape

Monkey Bonanza Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. Like any good slot, this one has a wild symbol that can appear in both the base game and banana bonanza. It substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the monkey, coin and collect symbols.
Banana Bonanza. In this game you can land a jumbo monkey, and doing so in the base game or free spins bonus will trigger the banana bonanza. You start off with 3 respins, and during these only the monkey and wild symbols can land. This will reset the number of respins back to 3 also. Wilds that land are held in place and pay up to 5x when substituting. Monkey symbols will knock out symbols on the banana splat bar, starting with those of the lowest value. Once respins have finished, you’ll get a super monkey spin. This will hold all wilds and symbols remaining on the banana splat bar, paying out once the spin has finished.
Piggy Bank And Win. You can also land coin symbols in the game, realign a cash prize as a value of your stake from anywhere between 0.2 up to 50x. If a collect symbol, shown as a piggy bank, lands on reel 5 at the same time as any coins, all the values will be collected.
Free Spins Bonus. To trigger this you need 3 scatter symbols, shown as a volcano, on reels 1, 3 and 5 at the same time. This will give you 5 free spins. The middle 3 reels will merge together here so only jumbo 3×3 symbols can land on them, but not always in full view. Monkey symbols will nudge into full view though when they appear only partially, trigger the bonanza feature.
Bonus Buy. You can buy the bonus in this game if you are outside the U.K. for 45x your stake, a reasonable amount in my opinion.
Conclusion
Monkey Bonanza slot from Northern Light Gaming is a playful slot with a fun theme and a few features that can be quite rewarding. The highlight is probably the banana bonanza which is a fun feature that sets itself apart a bit from other respins features that are all too common. There is a familiar collection feature that doesn’t really stand out, and a decent free spins bonus too. In total, you can win up to 5,000x your stake which is pretty decent, and I do think people will have fun playing this game for a while although I doubt it will stand out too much from the competition.
