Free slot: MonkeyPop

How MonkeyPop works

It has been a long time since the slot machine provider AvatarUX offered a new Pop slot machine to the gaming community. After the great success of BountyPop and especially Cherry Pop, a new opus has been released and is available at the vast majority of online casinos at Lucky7Bonus.

On this new slot machine named MonkeyPop, you will be located in the heart of a universe that reminds of Japan. The starting grid of this creation in partnership with Yggdrasil is in the middle of the mountains where the graphics are worthy of the most beautiful animes of this country.

The animations are also very pleasant on this slot machine and the musical atmosphere will allow you to travel directly from the place where you play. It is a very classic starting grid in the world of online casino that is offered to you, since it has 5 columns with 3 symbols. However, as you will read in a few lines, this grid is scalable, as on the vast majority of Pop slots.

You will not be bored at all on this slot, since there is a feature in the basic game, and it will be possible to unlock bonuses. These will allow you to get even closer to the jackpot that is located on this slot machine.

The connections on MonkeyPop work in cascades, which means that each time a symbol connects, it will disappear from your starting grid to make room for other symbols. In addition, a round of play on this slot machine ends when no more connections are possible.

This slot is open to all types of players, since you will be able to bet between €0.20 and €100 per game round. As a reminder, for those who wish to play MonkeyPop for free before signing up with an online casino, you can do so directly from this article.

As stated in the introduction to this slot, MonkeyPop is a slot that features an evolving grid. For those new to the world of online casinos, you will find that the concept is very easy to understand.

When a game round begins, the slot's starting grid is broken down into 5 columns with 3 symbols inside. However, each time a connection is made, the relevant reels will increase by one symbol. So, as you can see in the following screen, there was a connection on the first three reels of the slot. This means that the slot now has 4 symbols, still within the 5 columns.

The maximum height on this slot machine is 6 symbols per column. It is important to know that you can only increase the number of symbols per column and that you will always have 5 columns on your starting grid.

Another feature is also present during the pay games at MonkeyPop. This feature can only be unlocked when you reach the maximum height on all columns of your slot machine.

You can only reach this maximum height during one round of the game, because every time no connection takes place, your column returns to its basic form, i.e. 3x5. To know when you have reached the maximum height, a small sign will be added to the top and bottom of the relevant column.

Once all columns have this sign, then you get the functionality in the base set.

Once all the columns are blocked, the slot machine will remove a random number of non premium symbols. After that, you'll get two free spins with a base multiplier that can be x1, x2 or x3. Also, every time you make a connection, this multiplier can grow by +1 or +2.

As you can see, this feature during the base game can be very volatile. Indeed, if you are lucky enough for the slot to remove many non-premium symbols, you are left with only the highest paying symbols during 2 free spins, and with a potentially high multiplier.

The different symbols of MonkeyPop

MonkeyPop is a slot machine with a lot of symbols. First of all, you have a bonus symbol. This one, represented by a kind of wave colored in red with bonus writing, allows you to get free games on this slot, as soon as you get a sufficient number of them.

As with the vast majority of slot machines that are present in the online casino world, a wild symbol is also present. This symbol, represented by a kind of ribbon with the word wild written on it, allows you to connect with all the other symbols in the slot.

Please note that the wild symbol does not replace the bonus symbol, nor does it connect with the bonus symbol. Finally, the wild symbol has no value. It just takes the value of the symbols it connects with.

In addition to these two symbols, there are 11 different symbols, which are divided into two categories: premium symbols and non-premium symbols. In the first place, we will talk about the premium symbols.

These are called so in the online casino world because they appear much less often than other symbols. However, as soon as they are part of a connection, they will pay you more than the other symbols at MonkeyPop. As you might expect from the slot's name, the premium symbols are represented by monkeys of different colors.

In the following screen, you can see the value of each symbol according to the number of symbols that connect, for a starting bet of 1 euro.

In addition to these six premium symbols, MonkeyPop is a slot that also contains 5 non premium symbols. As you might expect, these are so called because they appear much more often than the other symbols. However, unlike the premium symbols, these symbols pay much less when they are part of a connection.

The non premium symbols in the MonkeyPop slot machine are represented by the highest values in a deck of cards, namely: Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10. The following two screenshots also show the values of each symbol for a starting bet of 1 Euro.

The different connections of MonkeyPop

Connections on the MonkeyPop slot machine work in cascades. This means that each time a connection occurs, the connecting symbols disappear from the slot machine to make room for new symbols.

Unlike many slot machines in the online casino world that offer payline connections, MonkeyPop works with adjacent connections. For a connection to occur, the same symbol must appear at least once in the first three columns of your slot machine, regardless of where it is located.

For a big win, you need to have the same symbol on your starting grid as much as possible, but also to go as far as possible. In total, you will find 33,614 different paths in this slot.

Usually in the online casino world, connections only work from the left to the right. At MonkeyPop, however, connections can be made from both sides. This means that connections can be made from the left to the right, but also from the right to the left. This system greatly increases your chances of making connections.

How the MonkeyPop bonus works

MonkeyPop is a slot game where you can get bonus rounds. In order to do so, you will need to get the bonus symbol three times during the same game round.

Before your free games begin, the slot machine will choose for you:

• Number of free spins: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

• The number of ways: + 468, + 2 048, + 6 250

• The starting multiplier: x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4, x 5

• Increase of the multiplier at each connection: + 1, + 2, + 3, + 4, + 5

Each time a connection is made, the starting multiplier increases by + 1, + 2, + 3, + 4 or + 5 for each connection made.

Your starting grid can start at 3x5, but you will be able to get the maximum heights right from the start of your free spins. If you are in 3x5, each time a connection is made, the base grid will increase.

Unlike the paid spins where the starting grid returns in 3x5 if no connection is made, during your free spins, the grid will not move.

If you manage to unlock all the heights, then, as in the basic game, some non-premium symbols will be removed from your starting grid.

You will also be able to get extra free spins on this slot, as well as increase the value of some premium symbols.

During your free spins, the bonus symbol is always present in this slot. If you manage to get the bonus symbol three times before the end of your free spins, then you are entitled to two more free spins. In addition, to the left of your bonus symbol appears a symbol. It will be this symbol that will have the value of its connections multiplied.

There are two different ways to get the free games on the MonkeyPop slot machine. The first is to get the bonus symbol three times during the same game round.

The second option available to you is the buy-in bonus feature. Unlike the vast majority of Pop slots where you have to gamble your bonus to get the maximum set-up, here it will just cost you more.

So you can buy the bonus for :

• 125 times your initial investment

• 250 times your initial investment

• 400 times your initial investment

What makes all the bonuses different is the possibility of getting more free spins, a higher multiplier or a bigger starting grid. As you can see, the more you pay, the more likely you are to get the bonus with the best set-up.

Our opinion on MonkeyPop

Our opinion about MonkeyPop can only be good. It had been many months since AvatarUX had offered anything to the community, and we can say that this creation was worth waiting for. First of all, we have to emphasize the work done by this studio regarding the graphics, animations as well as the musical atmosphere that are present on this slot machine.

One of the great advantages that MonkeyPop offers over many pop slots is that it is a very volatile machine in the base game. Thanks to this feature, you can win a lot of money if luck is on your side.

What will get you to the jackpot on this slot, however, are the bonus games. If you don't want to unlock them on a regular basis, then you can simply buy them.

MonkeyPop is a very volatile slot machine where you can win up to 5,787 times your original bet. Another very important point to consider when visiting a slot machine is its RTP. On the vast majority of slot machines, the theoretical return to player is 96%. On MonkeyPop, the RTP is 96.54%, which ranks it above average.

As you have seen throughout this article, MonkeyPop is an excellent slot machine that is sure to be the talk of the town. If you want to play it, you can do so directly at any of the online casinos on Lucky7Bonus.
