Game Overview

Being a game provider in the online gambling industry with a reach as far as developer Pragmatic Play allows you plenty of wiggle room when creating a popular game. We’ve seen this in the past from the studio with the clones of their Gates of Olympus slot, and now it looks as though Sugar Rush is the latest release to get a makeover to target the Pragmatic fanbase in different countries. That brings us nicely to today’s review of Monkey King Rush, an Asian-themed 7-reel slot operating on the cluster pays engine with an RTP of 96.50% and a max win of 5,000x the bet.

If you’ve played Sugar Rush before, you’ll know what to expect in Monkey King Rush, but let’s give you a quick refresher anyway. Winning combos are formed when five symbols match adjacently on the grid, triggering the tumbling reels mechanic, which removes winning symbols and replaces them with new ones for more chances to win. Furthermore, each symbol involved in a win will leave a mark on the reel; if another win takes place in the same position, a multiplier will appear, continuing until multipliers reach a maximum value of 128x. Landing three or more scatters in view will trigger the free spins feature, where multiplier spots and values do not reset between losing spins.

Sugar Rush and its clones to date have proven to be hugely successful for Pragmatic Play, so if you want to get stuck into another version of this classic game, fire up our free Monkey King demo slot; it’s available to play below.

So, I touched upon in the intro that Pragmatic’s Sugar Rush slot was a roaring success for the provider that not only resulted in them making a clone for the Asian market titled Mochimon, but also led to the developer uPGrading the engine to provide bigger multipliers and a higher max win, which you can check out in our Sugar Rush 1000 demo. With those three titles firmly under their belt, it did surprise me a little to see that Monkey King Rush was another entry into the Asian slots genre, but we’ve seen this from Pragmatic in the past with multiple “Gates of” releases targeting the same geo, so if it’s bringing the cash for the studio, who am I to tell them otherwise.

It’s that time of the review when we find out what Monkey King Rush can pay, and over at the pays section, we find the Horn as the most valuable symbol, returning 150x bet for winning combos of 15 or more. Next comes the Scroll, worth 100x, the Bracelet at 60x, and the final premium, the Perfume Bottle, paying 40x. As for the so called lower pays, there’s a Ring valued at 30x, the Potion at 25x, and finally, a Peach paying 20x if 15+ symbols are part of a winning connection.

Finding a suitable bet to spin the reels for real money on Monkey King Rush shouldn’t be a problem whether you’re a low, mid or high roller, with the minimum price to play starting at €0.20, whilst the max stake comes in at €100.

Monkey King Rush Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Monkey King Rush is played on a 7×7 reel format, with 49 symbols dropping into play on every spin. If five or more matching symbols land adjacently within the playfield, their corresponding value from the paytable will be awarded as a win. All wins trigger the tumbling reels mechanic, which removes the winning symbols from the reels and replaces them with new ones, providing extra chances to win.

Reel Spots & Multipliers

Each time a win is awarded, the symbols removed from the reels leave a spot behind. If another win occurs on a marked spot in the same series of spins, it will turn into a 2x multiplier, doubling in value with each subsequent win up to a maximum of 128x. Once you fail to hit a new win, the reels will return to their default setting.

Landing 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatter symbols in the base game activates the main bonus and awards 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 free spins to begin the feature, respectively.

Free Spins Feature

The free spins bonus plays out exactly the same as the base game, with one exception: the spots and multiplier values will not reset between losing spins. Players can win additional spins with 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 scatters, awarding an extra 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30 extra spins to the current total.

Bonus Buy

If you’d prefer to skip the base game and head straight to the free spins, you can hit the bonus buy button and get instant access to the feature for 100x the current bet.

Pros

  • Clone of a very successful game.
  • The theme may appeal to a different set of players.

Cons

  • Nothing that we haven't see before from Pragmatic.

Monkey King Rush Slot Review Final Thoughts

There's not really that much I can say about Monkey King Rush other than it's a great game that we have seen multiple times, except in a different way from Pragmatic. I guess it's just down to which of the themes you prefer more.
