Legend of the Golden Monkey Slot Features

There are 10 pay symbols in Legend of the Golden Monkey, and they are divided into 4 lower-paying symbols and 6 higher-paying symbols. The former are just your usual card ranks, while the latter feature thematic accessories like crowns, flasks, shields, and even vases.

Additionally, there are also quite a few special symbols in the mix - Sticky Wilds, Count Down Wilds, Treasure Chest symbols, and Free Spins symbols. Sticky Wilds can appear only on reels 2 and 4, but they stay on the board for as long as you keep using them in winning combinations. Count Down Wilds, on the other hand, can appear only on reel 3, and they stay on the board for a total of 4 spins.

Treasure Chest symbols can then show up only on the very last reel, but each will give you either a coin win or a trigger of the Free Spins feature (or 2 extra free spins during the feature itself).

At random, the Golden Monkey feature can show up and change one symbol into another in a way that benefits you.

To trigger the Free Spins feature without Treasure Chest symbols, you have to find 3 or more Free Spins symbols on the playing board at once.

Then, you’ll get to pick from 3 free spins modes, and the differences between them are by no means cosmetic!

The first option will give you 6 free spins, with each free spin coming with one additional permanent Sticky Wild. The second option will give you 8 free spins in which all Sticky Wilds become permanent (though they are by no means guaranteed), and in which you can also land a Triple Stacked Wild symbol on the middle reel. Finally, the third option will give you 10 free spins with a permanent Sticky Wild on the central position of the playing field, and in which all Sticky Wilds become permanent upon landing.
