Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

The Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax Slot Game

I’ve spent time with Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax, a 5x3, 243-ways slot that sails to a tropical hideout ruled by pirate monkeys. Reel Multipliers sit above each reel, ticking up when wilds land during avalanches. The setup flows well on mobile and desktop, with controls placed on the right. Wins form from leftmost reels in the base game, and every winning tumble removes symbols and drops fresh ones. It feels pacey when chains start, especially once multipliers get involved.

Stakes range from 0.20 to 25 per spin. The default RTP is 94.00%, though some sites may run 90.5%. The hit frequency sits at 23.86%, and variance is high, so dry spells can be followed by sharp spikes. The max win is 10,000x the bet, which pairs nicely with the MultiMax system. Feature Buy sits on the right as an orange button, ready to send you to the bonus round without waiting, but more on that in the features section.

Symbols & Payouts in Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax

The paytable splits into two tiers. Low pays are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, worth 0.4x to 0.8x for five-of-a-kind. Premiums show the crew and critters: brown crab, blue lizard, green walrus, plus purple, yellow, and red pirates. Land five and you’ll see 1.6x to 3.6x. Wilds carry the word Wild, substitute for everything bar Scatter and Bomb, and they grow reel multipliers. Scatters show a monkey and only land on reels 2, 3, and 4 to trigger bonuses.

Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax Bonus Features

Avalanche fires after any win, clearing the winners and dropping new symbols. On each winning cascade, the game adds a Wild to a random position before refill. When a Wild lands, the Reel Multiplier above that reel increases by +1. Any win that uses that reel then gets multiplied. Multipliers persist for the whole avalanche sequence and reset after the spin in the base game. During free spins, those multipliers don’t reset, which is where the big chains can build.

Hit three Scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 to bank 8 Free Spins. In this round, wins pay both ways, so lines count left to right and right to left, while five-of-a-kind still pays left to right only. Non-winning free spins can trigger Bombs. Blue level 1 blows the symbol it lands on. Yellow level 2 clears the surrounding ring. Red level 3 wipes a radius of two. Each detonation causes another avalanche. Feature Buy costs 95x and awards 8 Free Spins.

How to Win at Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax

I lean on the 243 ways and treat every spin as a chance to stack avalanches. Wins keep dropping a Wild somewhere on the grid, so I chase sequences that touch the same reel and ramp its multiplier. The bonus flips to both-ways pays and keeps multipliers sticky, so that’s the target. You’ll need three Scatters together, or you can buy in. The hit rate sits around one in four spins, so I set stakes to ride out swings and wait for a hot chain.

Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax Slot RTP & Volatility

The maths profile is punchy. The default RTP stands at 94.00%, with an operator setting down to 90.5%. That’s below par for this studio, and it can show in longer sessions. I factor that in when planning bankroll and time at the reels. Hit frequency is 23.86%, which describes the long-run cadence rather than a promise per session. If your site publishes the lower model, expect the same features and paytable, just a tighter long-term return.

Variance is high and the max win caps at 10,000x. In practice, peaks come from free spins where both-ways pays and sticky Reel Multipliers align with looping avalanches. Base play can still pop when several cascades stack +1s on the same reel. Feature Buy is priced at 95x, which matches the eight-spin award from natural triggers. Stakes span 0.20 to 25, so session length and risk can be tailored, though the swingy profile means patience pays more than big leaps.

Final Verdict on Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax

I had fun with the cheeky pirates on deck and the two-score soundtrack that shifts from drums to a swashbuckling melody once spins roll. The Reel Multipliers mechanic still lands tidy moments, and the Bombs add a lifeline to dead free spins. I’m less keen on the RTP model, as it drags the appeal of longer grinds. Still, when avalanches keep feeding wilds and the multipliers stick in the bonus, Monkeys Go Bananas MultiMax can land satisfying bursts.
