Legend of the Golden Monkey Slot

Me Foxy-lovin’ fans surely know that myths and legends are the perfect theme for online slots. They come from many cultures and can be tweaked and adapted to fit the slot narrative with ease. That’s what Yggdrasil did with Legend of the Golden Monkey, a slot based on the Asian myth about the Monkey King. This ape knows kung fu and can use his skills to bring you golden wins. Legend of the Golden Monkey is a medium volatile slot with an RTP of 96.1%, but what’s more important is that it’s full of fantastic features that fully play into the myth.

The slot has 243 paylines that pay both ways. We're excited about the combination of these two features that can lead to a string of potential payouts. Sticky wilds and three free spins modes will help me slot spinners get to it, although luck still plays a part, as always.

Legend of the Monkey King is an oriental slot loosely based in part on the Legend of the monkey king. Like all Yggdrasil slots, it's got a familiar setup with impressive visuals and a fully 3D rendered environment. The reels are set within a temple out in the open, with scattered coins on the ground and red lanterns flanking them. Cool feature – click on the lanterns to make them move. I don't know if there's an Easter egg behind it, but they're interactive.

Getting back to the slot, it features oriental symbols on the reels led by the Golden Monkey himself. The bronze chalice pays the most – 250x for five of a kind. The other premiums pay less, while the four card royals play the lowest-paying role.

Me slick slot spinners will love the slot’s art direction and enjoy the audio-visual package. It looks more like a video game than a slot, and that’s truly incredible.

Set your bet to what you feel comfortable with and hit the Spin button to start playing. You can click on the symbols to see what they’re worth or check the paytable for details. Sticky wilds are the name of the game when things get rollin’. Whenever me foxies score a win with a sticky wild, they will stay on the reels for the next spin and all the following spins as long as you win. Keep in mind that these wilds only land on the 2^nd and 4^th reel.

The Count Down wilds work similarly, but they stay on for the next three spins. These appear on the middle reel only. If you try to change your bet with the sticky wilds on the reels, they will revert back to regular wilds.

From time to time, the Golden Monkey can spring into action randomly and trigger the eponymous feature. It changes one symbol to another, which will hopefully lead to a win. Landing the treasure chest is lucrative in the base game, delivering up to 1,000 coins or the bonus round. It’s worth even more in the free spins round.

Three or more free spins coins will grant you access to the bonus round. If you trigger the bonus with 4 or 5 coins, you get 1,000 and 5,000 coins, respectively. Before the round begins, you need to select one out of the three following modes:

• 6 free spins + Incremental wilds: the monkey adds a permanent sticky wild on each spin until a reel is full of it
• 8 free spins + stacked wilds: permanent sticky wilds on the 2^nd and 4^th reel, with triple stacked wilds on the 3^rd
• 10 free spins + starting wild: the bonus starts with a permanently sticky wild on the middle reel that can lead me Foxies to potential wins

The Legend of the Golden Monkey can deliver the big bucks thanks to its array of wilds and their stickiness. It uses an All Ways Pays engine with 243 bothway paylines that can provide wins over and over again. Me Foxy-lovin' players will have fun in the base game and the bonus round, making it a worthy addition to Yggdrasil's already impressive portfolio.
