For rather a niche 1970s television show, Monkey has spawned several online slot machines which combine the atmosphere of the programme and the original 16th century legend Journey to the West. Monkey Warrior is one more to add to the list, it’s developed by Pragmatic Play and it offers players jackpot prizes and free spins.
Monkey Warrior is a five reel slot with three rows and 2443 ways to win; ornate golden rims frame those reels while cherry blossom constantly falls from trees in the background to complete the fantastical rural scene.
The higher value symbols include the characters Tripitaka, Pigsy and Sandy along with a scroll and a green potion; Q, K and A make up the lower values.
Monkey is wild and he will substitute for all standard symbols to help form winning combos; the staff and the pink flower are the bonus symbols.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
This is triggered by landing three of the staff bonus symbols anywhere on reels two, three and four for which you’ll receive eight free spins; only the high value characters, scroll, flower and staff are present on the reels and each set of three staffs will award another eight spins with no limits.
Money Respin Feature
Trigger this by landing at least six of the flower symbols anywhere in view – they always display a prize amount or a jackpot value; the reels now contain only blank spaces and flowers and you’ll receive five free spins to try and land more, each one locking in place as they appear. After each spin there may be a chance to pick from three chests to try and win up to three extra spins.
When the spins have finished or all positions are full of flowers the cash is totalled and awarded to you. Happy days!
Verdict
We enjoy a Monkey-themed slot as much as the next person (in the right age group) and Monkey Warrior ticks all the boxes – a proper narrative, two bonus features and some good looks to boot. Highly recommended.
For more slots with this theme try Journey to the West (also by Pragmatic Play), West Journey Treasure Hunt from High 5 Games and Sun Wukong from Playtech.
