Triple Monkey Slots
Monkeying around is good fun, isn’t it? You get that cheeky feeling that you’re being mischievous, but it’s okay because primates do it all the time and everyone just thinks they’re funny and cute.
If you don’t get that reception when clowning around, you can always try for a slot machine to get your playfulness out; Triple Monkey should be just the ticket for you.
This is a beach scene 3-reel slot machine with 5 win lines, all of which are frozen in place and unable to be reduced, which makes perfect sense given how small this online activity is. Although it has traditional and classic markings, it has a very contemporary atmosphere to it, with the novelty theme being the most obvious element of that.
Don’t let the fancy graphics fool you though, this is as retro as you can get, just minus the bells and star symbols, or the trashy arcade noises; think of it as a revamping, but where the core values and controls have remained the same. Oh, and there’s some special features thrown in, which isn’t always guaranteed with smaller slots.
Monkey Re Spin Fun
As the monkeys are the wild of the game, they bring with them good fortunate in the way of moving about the symbols to create a combination, however with Triple Monkey they go one further than that. They trigger a re spin, but not just any re spin, one that promises wins.
For that to happen, you’ll need to have obtained two full reels of monkey wilds, which is difficult in itself, but when that happens the remaining reel will speed until a victory is claimed. Think of it as a reward for hard work and perseverance paying off, as you’re going to have to try many times for the Monkey Re spin to occur, and even then you might never strike lucky. But we can hope.
Six Primates in a Row
What’s better than two reels of monkeys? All three of them being filled with the little guys! In Triple Monkey, if you fill the whole matrix with these symbols, you’ll get the top prize fund of x1,000 of your wager. Wow, right?
Well, it depends. You see, your bet can be as small as €0.01, so although x1,000 would be a huge improvement, that would only give you a win of €10. Therefore, for you to get the most out of this ‘bonus’, you need to have the maximum stake of €1, thus leaving you with a top pay out of €1,000 (as you’ll have probably worked out for yourselves).
Lounging Around on the Beach
So far we’ve gathered, although possible to get money back, this isn’t going to be a high paying title, so what’s the point in playing? First off, there’s a virtual beach for one, and then there’s the low bet threshold, making this an easy to play for real game.
Tap that arrow and the betting options will show up, with the (+) and (-) your tickets to the lowest and highest of bets, both of which are measly (as you’ve already read). Seeing as the pay lines are fixed, you don’t have to faff about with that setting, and so you need only determine your way to play: hands on or hands off and whether you go turbo.
The turbo option feels a little wasted on this slot, but we guess added speed is speed at the end of the day, and if you’re in a hurry it can make all the difference; you set that from where you decide your stake value.
As for the automatic rounds, that’s done from the spin widget, by holding it down and waiting for the settings to appear. If you’re a regular player with Playtech, this will be second nature to you by now.
A Quick Getaway
Triple Monkey isn’t a holiday of a slot machine, think of it more as a weekend away or a mini break. It takes you away from the stresses of your life for a couple of hours, but it’ll never do more than that. Once you're done you’ll probably move on rather than play it again, leaving it as a gap filler rather than a feature experience.
We really enjoyed it, but its simplistic yet charming design soon wears thin when you crave bigger wins and more explosive game play.
