Grand Monarch Slot Review

IGT GRAND MONARCH SLOT REVIEW
This is your best opportunity to get up close and study some beautiful butterflies. This whimsical video slot was released in 2013 by developer IGT and has been fluttering wins into players’ pockets ever since. 

Playable on both PC and mobile devices, Grand Monarch features a setup of 5 reels and no less than 50 paylines, along with a demo version that you can try right on this page for free. If you want to withdraw your wins, you’ll have to head to our Real Money Slots section and bet real money on this slot.


HOW TO PLAY THE GRAND MONARCH SLOT
The whole slot is based on the life cycle of a butterfly, starting from an adorable caterpillar and all the way to the fabulous butterfly, celebrating nature and its beautiful creatures. Playable from as little as $0.50 per spin, this slot comes with a decent RTP of 94.97% and medium variance. We found this to be a rather balanced experience, with small but constant payouts and the biggest wins happening during the special round.

When it comes to symbols, you’ll see some beautiful flowers with colors ranging from blue and yellow to purple and pink, along with some low-paying playing card symbols (9, 10, J, Q, K, A). It also features some special symbols, including a Wild and a Scatter.

GRAND MONARCH SLOT FEATURES

• Wild symbol. The Wild symbol is the Monarch butterfly and it will replace any other symbol on the reels except for the Scatter. It’s also the most lucrative symbol in the base game, awarding you with 1000x your stake for 5 on an active payline. 
   
• Scatter symbol. The Scatter is represented by the green chrysalis and it serves to trigger the Free Spins game mode. It can only appear on some specific reels and can’t be replaced by the Wild. 
   
• Free Spins feature. To trigger this feature, you’ll have to land three Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4. You’ll get started with five free spins, three more chrysalises earning you five more spins during this round.
   
• Stacked Wilds feature. We all love a little stacked action in our slots and this is just what Grand Monarch offers. In the main game, the butterfly Wild appears as stacked, opening up more opportunities for winning combos.
   
• Simple yet fun. You won’t find many dazzling features and advanced settings in this slot but that’s exactly what makes it so good - you won’t have to waste time learning about dozens of features and settings. You’ll just place your bet, spin and win!
   
• Natural look and feel. As we mentioned above, this slot seems to be celebrating nature and its beauty. The reels are set against a beautiful forest backdrop, some little white flowers resting atop the table.

All in all, we can definitely admit this video slot has won our hearts. It’s the perfect combination between great atmosphere and simple yet fun gameplay that will have you spinning the reels for hours on end. We got the bigger wins during the Free Spins feature, while the main game can provide some fun with the Stacked Wilds. We encourage you to try this one out and see how much you can win!
