Wacky Monkey Chase N Win Slot Review
Dark tree trunks frame a jungle at dusk, bird silhouettes drifting across a peach-and-amber sky, and a wooden reel frame strung with white lights sits in the middle of it all. On a grid where three of a kind is the only combination that pays, most spins find nothing, so this game pays in progress instead: every scatter banks a lit reel you can see moving you closer to free spins. Spinomenal’s Wacky Monkey Chase N Win runs a 3×3 grid over 5 fixed paylines at 95.87% RTP, and its free spins round climbs a multiplier bar that ends at x5,000 the total bet.
The lit-reel staircase underneath is one Spinomenal has run before, in Frozen Fruits Chase N Win and Xmas Chase N Win among others, though the jungle here is warmer than either. Whether the warmer colours change the arithmetic is what follows.
The Base Game and Its Symbols
Three reels, three rows, five fixed lines. All symbols pay left to right from the leftmost reel, only the highest win on each line is paid, and wins are multiplied by the bet per line. There’s no wild symbol in this game, so every combination has to land naturally, with nothing standing in for anything else.
The paytable is small, as a three-reel, five-line game demands. Three of a kind is the only combination that pays, and the values below are multiples of the total bet.
- Monkey – 2400x for three
- Parrot – 1200x for three
- Lion cub – 800x for three
- A, K, Q, J – 400x for three
- 10 – 200x for three
The drop from the monkey to the 10 is steep: the top symbol pays twelve times what the bottom one does, so which symbol completes a line matters more than how many lines are in play. The royals carry the middle of the table together, all four of them at the same rate, which keeps the low end flat and the high end sharp.
Betting works through a bet-per-line control, adjusted with the plus and minus buttons. Auto play runs continuous spins at the selected bet, with the number of spins chosen on a configuration screen, and it stops on a press of the pause button.
Turbo Mode shortens each round to its minimum, toggled by the rabbit button on desktop or through the settings menu on mobile, and it can also be switched on from the auto play screen. During free spins the bet controls lock, and payouts are made according to the total bet that triggered the round.
The Chase! Scatter and Re-spins
The Chase! scatter is the game’s one base-game mechanic, and it’s a simple build. Every one that lands lights up the reel it sits on, and reels stay lit across consecutive re-spins, so progress accumulates rather than resetting.
What the scatter does depends on how many reels are lit when it arrives:
- One or two reels lit – a single re-spin is awarded, with the lit reels carried over
- Three reels lit – 10 free spins are awarded
- Anywhere it lands – the scatter pays x1 the total bet
That x1 payment matters more than it looks. On a grid where three of a kind is the only paying combination, a symbol that returns the bet while advancing the feature isn’t dead weight on the road to free spins.
The re-spin itself is a free shot, too. Nothing is deducted for it, the lit reels hold their positions, and any further Chase! scatter that arrives keeps the chain moving towards the third reel. The only thing that ends a chain is the free spins triggering.
Free Spins and the Multiplier Bar
Free spins is where the format opens out. A second symbol, the Chase’N’Win scatter, appears only in this round, and every one that lands fills one cell in a multiplier bar that surrounds the reels, starting at x2 and running all the way to x5,000.
The bar is the whole shape of the round. It’s a climb you can watch: each scatter moves the marker one cell up, and when the free spins finish, the payout is the multiplier on the last filled cell multiplied by the total bet. Line wins during the round still pay on the same five lines at the same bet per line.
The bottom rung matters. Because the bar starts at x2, every free spins round ends with at least double the total bet from the bar alone, whatever the line wins add on top. How far past that the round goes depends entirely on how many Chase’N’Win scatters arrive in ten spins.
Retriggers are handled by the original Chase! scatter, and the two symbols split the work cleanly between them:
- Chase’N’Win scatter – fills one multiplier cell, from x2 up to x5,000
- Chase! scatter – awards 5 additional free spins whenever one or more land
Because the final payout keys off the last filled cell rather than the line wins, a round that keeps retriggering isn’t just longer, it climbs higher. The two mechanics point at the same finish line, which is a neat piece of design for a three-reel game.
Buy Feature
A BUY FEATURE button skips the chase entirely. Clicking it opens a window where the bet for the free spins round can be adjusted, and the buy price is set according to that bet. Paying it triggers the round immediately, with the multiplier bar and retrigger rules exactly as they are when the round arrives naturally.
Since the buy price scales with the chosen bet rather than sitting at a fixed figure, the cost of jumping the queue moves with your stake. What you get for it is the same climb: three lit reels from the off, and the bar starting at its bottom rung.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 6.9/10
This is mostly quiet spinning in a beautiful dusk jungle, watching for one scatter at a time. That’s not a complaint: the reason to pick it is that everything you do visibly moves you somewhere, one lit reel at a time, towards a round you can see coming.
The free spins round is the strength, because it’s completely legible. Every Chase’N’Win scatter is one cell up a bar that starts at x2, so no round walks away empty, and the payout is exactly the cell you reached. The weakness is the wait. Five lines, no wild and a top-heavy paytable mean the stretches between lit reels run long, and the x1 scatter payment is thin consolation for a spin that found nothing else.
It’s a game for players who like one clear goal on a small grid and don’t need a dozen mechanics to stay interested, and it’ll suit anyone already fond of the Chase N Win climb. Anyone after constant action will find the quiet reels a long sit. The sunset alone earns a few of those spins.
