Monkey King from Yggdrasil is a video slot with a vague oriental theme. The Monkey King character is the star of the show, featuring on the base game Wild and making random personal appearances on the reels in the Monkey King Bonus. This slot is alive with features and bonuses, with numerous Wilds, Free Spins, Multipliers and animations combining to deliver action-packed fun to the reels.
Games
The slot is set on a standard 5-reel, 3-row format and offers 25 pay lines. Yggdrasil has built ‘All-ways-pay’ technology into Monkey King, ensuring plenty of opportunities to secure a winning combo. The bets range starts at a modest 25p per spin, and rises to £125 a spin. The RTP is a tempting 96% and the medium-high variance will perhaps appeal more to more experienced players.
Design
The reels are housed in an ornate and charming Chinese-style house, with orange lanterns hanging either side against the backdrop of a pale yellow and blue sky. Oriental music with dramatic bursts of energy keeps the slot on-theme and delivers tension and excitement to game play. The reels are filled with Chinese themed symbols that have been carefully crafted, and are rich with colour, as are the bold, bright playing card icons.
