Banana Town Slot Review

Banana Town Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Banana Town slot is played on a 6×5 grid and uses the Scatter Pays mechanic. All you need to do is get at least 8 matching symbols in view anywhere on the grid to land a winner.

Stakes range from just 10p up to £50 per spin. Simply use the + and – buttons below the reels to change your total bet. Turbo spins and autoplay are also available for players outside the UK.

The Banana Town RTP is 96.12%, which is respectable and a little over the 96% average for most online slots. But please note that the hit frequency is 18.45%, which means that just under a 5th of all spins on average will result in a winning combination. Volatility here is very high too and rated as 5 out of 5.

The maximum win is 10,000 x your stake, which sits somewhere in the middle when compared to a lot of other slots on the market. Here’s some useful information on win probabilities of certain levels in the Banana Town slot game:

• Big Win – 1 in 143 (bet multiplier 15+)
• Mega Win – 1 in 256 (bet multiplier 30+)
• Epic Win – 1 in 430 (bet multiplier 60+)

Theme – hang with the mischievous monkeys

With a gangster theme, the Banana Town slot is all about monkey criminals and the mafia. The game has got a really retro feel to it and looks like an 8-bit video game from the 1980s, which is also known as the third generation of games consoles.

The audio also matches the graphics with its retro computer game effects. It’s really well done albeit slightly repetitive. Trigger the Free Spins feature and the music speeds up as if you’ve just got a special level on your favourite video game. If you’re a fan of old video games, you’ll love what they’ve done here.

On the reels, you’ve got different coloured bananas as the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by numerous monkeys with different coloured backgrounds. The Red Monkey is the most rewarding symbol, paying 4, 8 or 12 x your stake for 8+, 10+ or 12+ in view on the grid.

There’s no Wild in the game but there is a dollar symbol acting as the Scatter. Land 3 or more of these to trigger the Free Spins feature, which we expand on below.

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Blue Bananas	8+, 10+ or 12+ = 0.5, 1 or 2 x stake
Green Bananas	8+, 10+ or 12+ = 0.5, 1 or 2 x stake

Purple Monkey	8+, 10+ or 12+ = 1.5, 3 or 6 x stake
Orange Monkey	8+, 10+ or 12+ = 2, 4 or 6 x stake

Banana Town Mobile

Despite the 80s/retro feel, the Banana Town mobile slot has been created using HTML5 technology. This allows for play on mobiles, tablets, laptops and/or PC devices. The 6×5 setup works well on iOS and Android smartphones.

Banana Town Bonus Features

There are 3 bonus features in the Banana Town slot if you count the Buy feature option. You have the multiplier upgrades which could help lead you to big wins, and you’ve also got the Free Spins feature. Let’s explain how everything works here so that you can fully understand the slot.

Multiplier Upgrade feature

Every symbol has a multiplier associated with it and you can see that to the right of the reels. The multiplier is applied to all wins including that symbol. The value begins at 1x and will double after each win on that symbol. This feature can also be randomly triggered by assigning a random upgrade of multipliers to a random number of symbols when a new spin begins.

Free Spins feature

You’ll get 8 free spins if you land 3 or more Bonus Scatter symbols in the base game. Each additional Scatter above 3 will award 1 extra free spin.

During the bonus round, the multiplier levels that have been achieved in the base game will remain and the Multiplier Upgrade feature will be in play throughout the free spins. Landing a Scatter in the Free Spins feature will give you 1 additional spin.

If you’re outside the UK, you may have the option to buy the Free Spins feature for 100 x your stake. You will see this option to the left of the reels if it’s available.

Banana Town Review Summary – a worthwhile liaison with the mafia

At first glance, I didn’t know what to expect from the Banana Town slot with its grainy retro graphics before I hit the spin button. But I have to admit that I’m impressed. A lot of providers can churn out numerous slots with the same popular themes, but Relax has not followed the crowd and has produced a great looking slot that has its own unique gangster theme.

The bonus features aren’t unique but they’re still great fun to play. I think it’s the retro feel that makes it so appealing. If you’re a fan of older video games, this will definitely appeal to you. The 10,000 x max wins are generous enough but don’t expect bigger wins too often due to the 5/5 volatility and the 18.45% hit frequency.

Overall, it’s a fantastic slot from Relax Gaming. Feel free to give our demo a try if you want to test it out before using any real money.
