Loco the Monkey Slot Overview
Become a monkey for a day in what Quickspin are describing as a ‘jungleicious’ adventure that takes us to Loco the Monkey Slots home deep within the jungle.
Nothing but good times and great potential await as you swing from the vines and join Loco in searching for the elusive Golden Monkey, who is your ticket into the exciting Free Spins round.
Quickspin had a fiery 2020 with the release of some incredible games like Hammer of Vulcan, Titan Thunder Wrath of Hades and many more, and they’re off to a strong start in 2021 with the exciting Loco the Monkey Slot, and the fun-filled Dinosaur Rage.
Go Loco with Loco
Loco the Monkey Slot has a feel-good and uplifting theme that’ll put you in a great mood.
The visuals are designed well enough, showing a luscious green jungle and a broken-down jeep, which was undoubtedly the work of some impertinent monkeys, but where the game really shines is the music.
As you load the game you’re greeted with a funky and elevating song that really sets the stage for an amusing experience, and the music you’ll hear when you enter the Free Spins round is just as groovy.
Betting and Symbols
Betting options for Loco the Monkey Slot are extensive. The lowest option available is £/€0.20, and the highest available option is £/€100.
As per usual, there’s plenty of options in between, so there’s something for everyone.
The highest regular symbol in the game is the Banana, followed by the Pineapple.
Blueberry, Lime and Mango. A, K, Q, J, 10 & 9 are the low paying symbols, and Loco the Monkey acts as a Wild symbol, substituting for everything except for the Golden Monkey Scatter.
The Base Game and Features
Loco the Monkey Slot could be easily mistake for a game that might use a ways to win mechanic, but in actuality it uses pay lines, of which there are 50.
Landing 3 matching symbols on consecutive reels from left to right across any of these 50 pay lines will award a win.
Win amounts aren’t substantially big in the base game for matching symbols all the way across one of these lines, but it may keep you going until you experience some of the features Loco the Monkey Slot has to offer.
More Monkeys! Respins
Four or more Wild symbols landing in a single base game spin will trigger the More Monkeys! Respins. Wild symbols will only land on reels 2-5.
Wilds that have landed will stick, and reels 2-5 will respin, and any subsequent Wilds that land will also stick.
The feature will continue until no new Wild symbols land on the reels, and the win will be evaluated at the conclusion of the feature.
This is a brilliant Base Game feature which may result in some very nice wins if you manage to fill the screen up with a decent number of Wild symbols.
Monkey Frenzy! Free Spins
3 Casino Bonus scatter symbols which are bound to reels 1, 2 and 3 will trigger the Free Spins, and you’ll get 10 to start with. To re-trigger you’ll need to land another 3, which will award an additional 5 spins.
In this mode, Wild symbols are locked for the duration of the Free Spins, and you’ll even be able to upgrade the Wild symbols to a x2 and x3 Wild if you manage to land another Wild where one already exists.
Win evaluations are calculated between every spin, and the more wilds and multiplying wilds you get well inevitably result in some bigger hits.
This is a decent bonus, but it can fall flat sometimes if you don’t manage to accumulate a decent number of Wilds. It’s also subject to pay lines, so you’ll want good placement of the Wilds as well.
Our Verdict
Loco the Monkey Slot is a feel-good, fun-filled and uplifting instalment from Quickspin that takes some of the seriousness you see from some games.
The theme of the game has been pulled off really well, and Loco the Monkey Slot is an immensely likable character, despite his wayward shenanigans.
Wins of up to 6,829x are possible in this game, which is great, but Loco won’t make it easy as this game has a high volatility rating at 4/5.
Overall, Loco the Monkey Slot is another decent addition to Quickspin’s portfolio of great games, and there’s even more to look forward to beyond 12th January as well with Quickspins upcoming Dinosaur Rage.
Loco the Monkey Slot will be available to play on desktop and Mobile Casinos on the 12th of January 2021.
