The action in the Monkey’s Gold slot plays out on a 6×6 grid. Winning combinations are created by landing 3 or more matching symbols or wilds on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1.

The Monkey’s Gold RTP is 96.02% which is about average. 57.32% of wins will come in the base game and 38.7% coming in the free spins. The hit frequency rate of 23.26% means you’ll land a winning combination just less than a quarter of spins on average.

The volatility here is in the medium to high range. The Monkey’s Gold slot maximum win is 12,683 x your total stake.

Theme – head to the Monkey King’s citadel

The design in the Monkey’s Gold slot is impressively done. Based on the legendary Monkey King figure (also known as Sun Wukong), it has a slight Asian feel to it.

Despite all the moving parts, the colourful visuals here work very nicely. The soundtrack fits well too. There’s a rhythmical backing track playing while you spin which is punctuated by the occasional blast of panpipe. With the thud of the stone blocks as they drop onto the grid, it creates plenty of atmosphere.

The reels are flanked by a pair of gigantic stone monkey statues which are covered with jungle vegetation. The stone blocks on the reels feature A to J symbols, 3 medium paying gemstones and 3 higher-paying totem symbols.

The most lucrative symbol is the orange totem, which starts at 0.6x. But it’s all about the symbol multipliers and wilds in this unique xPays game, which can increase your potential wins.

Nolimit City has created fully optimised versions of Monkey’s Gold for all devices including desktop, tablet and mobile. There’s a lot going on in this slot but the design and gameplay stand up nicely, even if you playing on a small screen.

Monkey’s Gold Bonus Features

If you’re after a slot that delivers something new, you’ve come to the right place with Monkey’s Gold. The xPays game mechanic is certainly different. There are plenty of other extras to consider too including multipliers, colossal symbols, symbol upgrades and a free spins feature with even more multipliers. We’ll start by looking at the game mechanic.

xPays feature

When you get a winning combination, the xPays feature kicks in. When that happens, all the losing symbols are removed and the winning symbols drop down to the lowest position on their reel. A new symbol drop follows (this doesn’t count as a paid spin).

If a new winner is created, the process is repeated. The symbol drops continue until no new winner is formed. A payout with all the symbol blocks is then made. A brand new symbol drop comprising the whole grid is then made.  It’s a bit like an avalanche reels slot in reverse.

Colossal Symbols feature

On any spin you could see a 2×2 or 3×3 colossal symbol drop onto the reels with this Monkey’s Gold slot. These colossal symbols come with multiplier values attached worth between 4x and 500x. If there are empty positions below a colossal symbol, these positions turn into wilds.

Symbol Multiplier feature

If a symbol appears with a multiplier attached, it counts as multiple symbols. For example, a symbol with 3x attached counts as 3 symbols in any winning combination.

Symbol Upgrade feature

The Symbol Upgrade feature comes into play if you manage to fill the whole of a row with symbols during a set of symbol drops. All the symbols in the row are upgraded to a more rewarding symbol. If it’s already the highest paying symbol, you’ll get a multiplier on top.

Monkey’s Gold Free Spins feature

The Monkey’s Gold Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 Bonus symbols on the game grid in the same set of symbol drops. You’ll then go on to play 10 free spins. 3 more free spins are added for each extra Bonus on the trigger.

Each time you fill a row a multiplier is applied. The multiplier will be 1x, 2x or 3x. This is determined by a roll of the dice before the free spins start. When you fill a row, the multiplier increases by 1, 2 or 3 each time. Every bonus symbol landing will also give you an extra free spin with no limits.

Monkey’s Gold Review Summary – promising debut for the xPays mechanic

In the Monkey’s Gold slot, the gameplay is a little unorthodox courtesy of the xPays mechanic. It can sound a little complicated but a few spins in and you’ll soon get the hang of it.

There are some top extras here once you have got your eye in. That’s the case in both the base game and the Monkey’s Gold Free Spins feature where the symbol upgrades and colossal symbols can really work some magic. The key to big wins is from the multipliers in the free spins which can increase infinitely if you get on a good run and fill plenty of rows.

It’s nicely designed too. Put all that together and the Monkey’s Gold slot game is a promising debut for the xPays mechanic.
