Monkey King slot theme and style
This is not your typical silly monkey game because Yggdrasil never does anything typical. The game is based on Chinese myths about Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from the novel “Journey to the West” written back in the 16th century. Monkey King was known to be able to transform and change different objects, and that’s exactly what he does in this fast-paced treasure hunt slot, changing the symbols and helping you achieve better winning combos.
The 3D game, while being quite action-packed has a certain Asian tranquility to it, with the soothing music, very detailed and stunning symbols and the Monkey King figure appearing outside the reels to help you out in the gameplay.
Monkey King slot winnings and jackpot
Monkey King slot might not be the game where you win millions, but it still has a decent RTP of 96%, allows you to win 250 times you bet and features a multiplier up to x243. The game variance is rather low to medium, but the extra features do give you an opportunity for some decently sized winnings.
Monkey King slot symbols and features
The beautiful 3D slot will take you back in time and place you in an ancient Chinese temple, where you find intricate symbols such as scrolls, shields, goblets, potions, crows and cauldrons.
One of the most noteworthy symbols in the Monkey King slot is the treasure chest symbol that shows up on the fifth reel only, providing you with the random winnings from 2 to 50 times your bet.
There is also not one, but two wild symbols. First one is a countdown wild on the middle reel with a random number on it that shows you how many free spins you’ve got left and can be reset to a new number if you're lucky to get another one during the remaining free spins.
The second type of wild is a sticky one, appearing on the second and fourth reels only, it will stay in its place until you keep getting more winning combinations.
