Lucky Monkey Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

Pragmatic Play gives the Lucky Monkey slot a classic game look with the 3×3 layout and 5 paylines. To form a winning combination, land 3 symbols on the reels from left to right.

Enter the rich Asian atmosphere with stakes as low as 5p up to £250. This lower limit is one of the lowest I have come across recently—it accommodates low-budget players.

Like most of the provider’s new online slots, it has an Autoplay function and a turbo spin option. However, these extras are not available at UK online casinos.

The Lucky Monkey RTP is 96.5%, around the same range as with other titles in the Lucky series. Keep in mind that lower versions of 95.5% and 94.5% are also available, so scan around the best Lucky Monkey casinos for the highest variant.

With the 23.75% hit frequency, you can expect wins once in 4.21 spins on average. This is a bit disappointing, considering the game’s medium volatility. On the brighter side, the Lucky Monkey max win is 5,000x the bet, which is quite decent for the classic gameplay. However, you will find far bigger prizes at progressive slots.

Playing the Lucky Monkey demo gave me a good feel for the prize feature, which presents your best chance of hitting big wins. The demo version is available in our library of free online slots.

Lucky Monkey Theme—A Chinese Adventure with a Charming Primate

If you have spun the reels of any title in Pragmatic Play’s Lucky series, you already know what to expect here visually. It stays true to the Asian aesthetic formula, with traditional Chinese architecture, tiled roofs, gold coins, and simple colour palettes (dominantly red).

The grid is set in the city centre, where a cheerful Monkey watches over the reels and brings you some fortune. I had reservations about the blurred background in the prequels, but I have accepted it as part of the Chinese vibe.

As for the soundscape, it falls somewhere between playful and thematic, leaning more towards the former. Even though it became repetitive after a while, the Monkey’s voice lines kept things a bit amusing.

The game features rich Asian cultural elements as the paying symbols. Unfortunately, there is no Scatter symbol. Still, the Wild offers some promise.

Here is a closer look at the paytable:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Mandarin	3 = 0.4x stake
Firecrackers	3 = 0.6x stake
Red Lantern	3 = 1x stake
String of Coins	3 = 2x stake
Pouch	3 = 4x stake
Pot of Coins	3 = 10x stake
Wild	3 = 50x stake; Substitutes for paying symbols

Lucky Monkey Mobile Slot

As with the best online slots, the Lucky Monkey mobile slot plays smoothly on smartphones, whether iOS or Android devices. The intuitive interface adjusts to fit small screens, so nothing looks out of place at mobile casinos.

With the portrait mode, I missed out on the Chinese architecture in the backdrop, as the grid covers the screen. I recommend switching to landscape view for a better visual experience, similar to the desktop version.

Lucky Monkey Bonus Features

Lucky Monkey is not one of those online slot games with an impressive range of bonus features. Still, the Prize feature offers random instant prizes and multipliers.

Prize Feature

The Monkey character can get excited on any random spin, triggering the Prize feature. During this bonus round, a random paying symbol represents the Money symbol, and all the occurrences of that symbol on the reels receive Money values. This ranges between 1x and 50x the bet.

If you hit 3 or fewer Money symbols, you will receive their payouts. However, if you are lucky enough to hit 4 to 8 Money symbols, it triggers Repins mode, played with a Hold and Win mechanic.

The round starts with 3 Respins, and every Money symbol that lands resets the counter and remains locked in position. Note that only the Money symbol can appear on the reels during this round.

The round ends when you use up the respins or fill up the grid with the Money symbol.

Now, if you manage to achieve the latter, a Wheel will appear, randomly awarding either of the prizes below:

• 2x, 3x, 5x, or 8x multiplier value, which applies to the total value of the Money prizes collected.
• The max prize is 5,000x the bet.

But note that the Wheel exists just for entertainment purposes.

Lucky Monkey Slot

The Lucky Monkey slot game delivers an Asian delight with straightforward gameplay and charming Monkey visuals. However, the bonus features are a rehash of its prequels and might not offer nail-biting moments.

Pros

• Simple gameplay
• Wide bet range

Cons

• Limited bonus features
• Lacks innovation
• No free spins

At this point, Pragmatic Play is committed to building a full zoo out of the Chinese zodiac animals. We have seen Tiger, Dog, Mouse, Ox, and now Monkey. No doubt, another addition to the Lucky series is just around the corner—maybe a Pig or Rooster, you never can tell.

The animal charm and original Asian aesthetics make it somewhat fun. However, its simplicity and classic vibe might be a drawback, particularly for players looking for something more modern. The gameplay feels like a copy-paste from the previous releases—from Money symbols to the Hold and Win mechanic, there’s nothing here I haven’t seen countless times.

I appreciate the twist of the bonus wheel and the chance of hitting the 5,000x max win, but it does not do much to make the gameplay stand out. Overall, Lucky Monkey is one of those slots crafted with the Asian market in mind and won’t likely appeal to players outside that demographic.
