Game Overview

I love the mature themes that underpin the majority of Nolimit City’s online slots, but it’s nice to see that the developer can still produce a more light-hearted game once in a while! The subject of today’s review is Monkey’s Gold, a 46,656-way machine that offers all the best features of a typical Nolimit City game in a much less serious package. The standard RTP is slightly above average at 96.02%, increasing slightly to 96.35% when using the bonus buy facility. The maximum jackpot is capped at 12,683x the total bet.

Monkey’s Gold breaks away from Nolimit City tradition slightly in that only a single feature begins with the letter ‘X’ – the Xpays payout mechanic. There’s no need to be too disappointed, though – the game also includes Colossal Symbols, Symbol Multipliers, Symbol upgrades, Free Spins, and a Vine Multiplier feature as well. There’s a bonus buy facility available too, should you be fortunate enough to live in a country that has not prohibited such things!

Seriously? A Nolimit City game with a light-hearted theme? If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try our free demo slot of Monkey’s Gold – it’s available to play below:

Monkey’s Gold Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Monkey’s Gold slot paytable

Humans share a remarkable amount of DNA with monkey and gorilla species, which has convinced many contemporary scientists that we are only here due to a freak genetic accident. I hope that hasn’t filled you with a sense of existential dread, but I’m afraid that is what the evidence suggests! Despite this, there hasn’t been a huge number of monkey-themed online slots – Lightning Box released one named Lightning Gorilla a while back, but that’s the only example that springs to mind. I guess that’s probably a good thing – who knows how deep these reviews would get if I were forced to talk about this stuff more regularly?

Still here? Fantastic, let’s talk about the paytable! There are three high-paying characters – or, more accurately, face – symbols. The gold version is the most valuable of the bunch, but it still only awards 0.6x the total bet for a full payway of six of a kind. The green face offers 0.5x the bet for all six symbols, whilst the blue variety is the least generous at 0.4x. The three medium pays follow the same colour pattern – the gold symbols pay 0.35x, followed by the green at 0.3x and the blue at 0.25x. As for the low-paying royals, the payouts for these range between 0.05x for six jacks up to 0.2x for six aces.

I’m very happy to report that Nolimit City has not started limiting the wagering options within their slots just yet! The minimum/maximum permitted wagers are set at €0.20 and €100.00 per spin, respectively, with more than two dozen intermediate bets available between those extremes

Base Game & Modifiers

Monkey’s Gold slot base game

My first impressions of Monkey’s Gold were that it would be a grid slot – the 6×6 reel set certainly looks the part, but it turns out that this is not the case. Nolimit City has instead opted for a 46,656 payway configuration, and you’ll need at least three matching symbols starting from the leftmost reel to score yourself a win.

Colossal Symbol

Any high or medium-paying symbol can appear as a colossal symbol that takes up either 2×2 or 3×3 positions on the playfield. Every colossal symbol also comes with a multiplier of between 4x and 500x, which will be applied to any winning combination it forms a part of.

Multiplier Symbols

Even the regular symbols will sometimes appear with a multiplier in Monkey’s Gold. If you’re really lucky, you may even catch a few wild symbols that boast a multiplier too! If more than one multiplier symbol is included in a single payway, the product of their values will be applied to each winning combination.

Monkey’s Gold Slot Bonus Features

Monkey’s Gold slot free spins feature

Bonus scatter symbols can land on all six reels, but you only need three to trigger the free spins feature. Three will award ten free spins, with three extra spins added for each additional scatter.

Free Spins

At the beginning of each set of free spins, a set of dice will be rolled to determine the starting vine multiplier and increment amount. The increment is particularly important – it only ranges between 1x and 3x, but the difference this can make to your potential winnings is absolutely enormous!

Every row filled during the free spins will increase the vine multiplier by the increment amount chosen at the start of the bonus round. One more free spin will be added to your remaining counter for each scatter symbol that lands whilst the bonus round is active.

Bonus Buy

If permitted within your country or jurisdiction, a bonus buy facility is available at the cost of 73x the normal price per spin. That’s a real bargain as far as I can tell – I played over a dozen bonus rounds whilst testing the game for this review and only lost money on my buy-in three times! Whilst I was almost undoubtedly lucky here, I still feel that this indicates the potential of the Monkey’s Gold bonus round.

Monkey’s Gold Xpays Slot Review Final Thoughts

Whilst Monkey’s Gold certainly isn’t the best Nolimit City release, it’s still a solid online slot with a great feature set and an attractive maximum jackpot. If you want a bit of a blast from the past by this provider on a non-controversial theme, give this one a go.
