Jungle Monkeys Slot Review & Free Play

AINSWORTH JUNGLE MONKEYS SLOT REVIEW

What can possibly be more thrilling than an adventure in the lush jungles of the Amazon? If you’re a fan of the more exotic slots, this one might just pique your interest. You’ll be acting as the monkeys’ helper, bringing them delicious fruits and finding their feathered friends and you can do so on all types of devices, including mobile and PC.  

Jungle Monkeys was released in 2009 by the australian developer Ainsworth and features a setup of 5 reels and no less than 100 paylines. You can give this video slot a try right here for free, using the demo version, before heading over to our Real Money Slots section to bet real money. 

HOW TO PLAY THE JUNGLE MONKEYS SLOT

Before you embark on this journey, you’ll have to place your bets on this video slot and you can do that from the bottom side of the screen. The lowest amount you can bet is $1 - if you’re on a tight budget, this slot might not be a good choice for you because you might find yourself burning through all your cash before having gained a considerable win. The relatively low RTP (94%), along with the medium volatility make it a good fit for the seasoned veterans and high rollers who prefer high-risk-high-reward slots. 

Ainsworth has kept this slot relatively simple in terms of visuals - the reels rest against a tropical jungle background and are filled with a selection of fruits and animals that you’d find in such a place. You’ll see some playing card symbols (9, 10, 11, J, Q, K and A), along with some bananas, coconuts, parrots, mangoes and barrels as the medium to high paying symbols. 

JUNGLE MONKEYS SLOT FEATURES

• Wild symbol. The wild monkey itself takes the place of the Wild, replacing every other symbol in the base game except for, of course, the Scatter. The good thing about this Wild is that it can appear on any reel, so you won’t have to worry about having to land it in a specific spot. 
   

• Scatter symbol. The Scatter symbol takes the shape of a barrel and it will trigger the Free Spins game mode. This icon will also land on any reel, just like the Wild but it can’t be replaced by the latter.
   

• Free Spins feature. You will be awarded 20, 12 or 8 free spins if you land 5, 4 or 3 Scatters respectively. During this game mode, the Wild monkey will appear only on reels 1, 3 and 5 and the barrel will award you with some extra spins if you land three or more.
   

• Autoplay feature. While it doesn’t come with many advanced features (you can only set up to 100 automatic spins), the Autoplay feature comes in handy whenever you feel like taking a break from spinning the reels yourself. 
   

• Highest paying symbol. The highest paying symbol in the game is the Scatter. Besides triggering 20 free spins, this icon will also reward you with a net $1.000.000 if you’re lucky enough to land five on an active payline. It could be achievable, seeing as the very maximum amount you can bet reaches $10.000.

All in all, this slot can either make or break your bank, depending on how much you want to bet and how quickly you manage to enter the Free Spins round. The huge prizes should also be a good motivation to try out this slot and travel through the jungle in the company of these adorable monkeys. We found ourselves having so much fun with this one that we strongly encourage you to give it a try as well!
