Wild Wild Bananas: Collect Golden Bananas For up to 12,000x Wins

Wild Wild Bananas by Pragmatic Play leaves behind the Irish countryside of Wild Wild Riches for a tropical island filled with monkeys, exotic wildlife, and, of course, plenty of bananas. Collecting wilds, expanding reels during free spins, cash prizes, and three fixed jackpots all return with a few twists, helping you chase a 12,000x max win in this sequel.

The game uses a 3-3-4-4-4 reel layout with 576 ways to win, while regular symbol values range from just 0.08x to 4x your bet. Those numbers don't look particularly exciting on paper, and honestly, they aren't. Thankfully, the hit rate kept the session moving, with winning combinations landing every 3 to 6 spins and usually returning between 0.20x and 2x my bet. Regular symbols quickly became secondary though, as most of my bigger wins came from the collection mechanic instead.

Whenever wilds land on reels 1 and 2 alongside cash symbols on reels 3, 4, or 5, they collect every visible cash prize, including any jackpot symbols that appear. This feature carried my entire base game. Even at its weakest, I was collecting around 9x my bet, while several spins landed multiple cash symbols worth between 1x and 10x each. My best collection reached an excellent 41.16x payout, which made the base game far more entertaining than the regular line wins ever could.

Triggering the bonus proved much harder than I expected. You need wilds on both the first and second reels together with a scatter on the third reel, a combination that simply didn't appear naturally for me. After roughly 90 spins, I eventually switched on the Ante Bet, paying an extra 0.20x my stake, and finally managed to activate the feature twice.

The bonus awards 10 free spins, where golden money symbols expand the final three reels and can even award additional free spins once they're fully upgraded. My first attempt never really got going and ended with just 27x my bet, but the second feature made much better use of the expanding reels and climbed to just under 70x, finishing the session on a much stronger note.

Wild Wild Bananas does a good job of making the collect mechanic feel rewarding throughout the base game instead of saving everything for the bonus. Triggering the free spins can require a fair bit of patience so I’d suggest going with the ante-bet.
