Net Entertainment first announced that the Go Bananas slot machine would be released a couple of months ago and it has been highly anticipated. It has been beautifully designed with lots of colourful symbols on the reels, plus there are five funky Monkeys which are animated and pop onto the screen when you land big wins.
The Go Bananas slot machine by Net Entertainment contains a total of five reels and twenty paylines – pretty standard nowadays in NetEnt slots. The coin value options are €0.01, €0.02, €0.05, €0.10, €0.20, €0.50, and €1. With a maximum of 10 coins available to bet on each line this means you can cover every payline and play for a minimum of €0.20 and a maximum of €200 – which will suit high rollers nicely.
There is a vast array of symbols featured in Go Bananas with the main ones being the five different types of Monkey – a Gorilla, Urangutan, Baboon, Langur, and Tarsier. Other symbols joining the crazy Monkeys are a Gem, Monkey Totem, Money Money Clip, Djembes, Banana Sundae Dessert, plus there is a variety of fruit symbols which are an Orange, Pineapple, Coconut, Lime, and Plum. The fruit symbols basically substitute the playing card symbols which are standard in most online slots, and are therefore the lowest paying. In fact, five Plum symbols are worth just 30 coins, while five Gem symbols see you cash in with 700 coins – a huge difference!
Wild Monkeys Feature
Go Bananas is all about the Wild Monkeys feature. It is exciting, extremely rewarding, and triggers very regularly. When any of the Wild Monkey symbols appear on the reels (Gorilla, Urangutan, Baboon, Langur, or Tarsier) that Monkey will appear on the reels in animation and some symbols will turn Wild depending on the pattern attributed to each Monkey, as follows:
Wild Gorilla: A Wild Gorilla sees you rewarded with a total of five Wilds, which are displayed on the reels in an X shape.
Wild Urangutan: A Wild Urangutan sees you rewarded with a total of four Wilds, which are displayed on the reels in a square.
Wild Baboon: A Wild Baboon sees you rewarded with a total of three Wilds, which are displayed on the reels vertically.
Wild Langur: A Wild Langur sees you rewarded with a total of three Wilds, which are displayed on the reels horizontally.
Wild Tarsier: A Wild Tarsier sees you rewarded with a total of two Wilds, which are displayed together either vertically or horizontally.
You will find that Wild Monkeys land on the reels very frequently and the wins are huge. When reviewing the slot we enjoyed back to back wins worth 6,100 and 1,500 coins thanks to the Wild Monkeys feature. Despite there being no free spins mode, life changing jackpot, or second screen bonus games, Go Bananas is a fantastic slot machine which will keep you entertained for hours.
