Bananaz 10K Ways

Bananaz 10K Ways Review

This installment in the 10K Ways series offers a unique experience. Bananaz 10K Ways is a jungle slot featuring an animated Monkey character.

This character can transform symbols into multiplier wilds at random times in the base game. The audiovisual presentation is nicely done, but the background jungle/monkey sounds may annoy some players, so it’s a good thing they can be turned off while keeping the regular sounds. The hold-and-win Respins round comes with up to 1,000x cash symbols, which is solid, and you can win up to 5,622x your stake.

Bananaz 10K Ways Slot Features

You win by landing 3+ matching symbols in any position on adjacent reels from left to right, and the mid-level premium symbols pay between 1 to 5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins. The top-tier Elephant pays 50x your stake for 6-oak however, and it also generates a small 1x win with only 2 instances on a payline. The Cascading mechanic removes winning symbols, which allows new symbols to drop down to fill the gaps, and this goes on as long as you keep winning.

The Mike Goes Bananaz feature may trigger sometimes when you don’t land a win, and you will then see the monkey climb behind the grid to transform 1 to 3 symbols into Monkey Wilds with a random multiplier of x1 to x5 attached. The multiplier values are multiplied if more than one Monkey Wild is part of the same win, and these wilds can never appear on the first reel.

The Bonus Respins feature triggers when you land 4+ Banana Bunch scatters anywhere in view, and the triggering symbols turn into sticky banana cash symbols on an otherwise cleared grid. The banana cash symbols come with random values between 1x and 1,000x, and you start with 3 respins in the hold-and-win style feature.

You will land only blanks, Banana Cash symbols or Monkey symbols during the bonus round, and Monkey is a Collector symbol that accumulates all currently present Banana Cash values onto itself to increase your total win. The feature ends when you fill the whole grid with non-blank symbols, or when you run out of respins.

You can choose to gamble your Bonus Respins winnings in a Gamble Feature if you wish, and this takes you into a gamble wheel with black and green segments. Land on green to move along a multiplier trail that goes as high as x5, or land on black to move into the losing zone that goes from x0.5 to x0. The max win from the gamble feature is 400,000x your base game stake.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, may go for the Bonus Buy option. This will set you back 100x your stake, and it guarantees 4+ Banana Bunch scatters on the spin that follows. You can still take advantage of the gamble feature in the end, if you dare. Purchasing the feature increases the RTP from 96.12 % to 96.99 %.

Our 4:33-minute highlights video starts with a Mike Goes Bananaz trigger, and we then get plenty of bonus round teasers before the feature finally triggers around the 1-minute mark. We took the gamble feature for a serious test run after the bonus round ended, and you can see it all for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Bananaz 10K Ways is a step in the right direction for this series however, but we still think 10K ways would go well together with a 10,000x potential. Instead, you can win up to 5,622x your stake in the Respins bonus round, and up to 3,225x is possible from a base game spin.

There is nothing too complicated going on in this third installment, and the Monkey antics and screeching will charm some players and annoy others. The multiplier wilds he delivers can make a dent in the base game though, and the Respins round is quite enjoyable without offering anything too special. The gamble feature can be tempting. The engine on “cruise control” keeps cruising it seems, and it will be interesting to see where this series goes next.
