Wild Wild Bananas Slots
Wild Wild Bananas is similar to the Irish slot Wild Wild Riches, which was a successful game by the developers at Pragmatic Play. This is a follow-up slot in a sense. The theme of this slot is more suited for fans of movies like George of The Jungle, or Tarzan than it is for fans of Irish slots. This slot takes place deep in the jungle! The mechanics of this game is similar to Wild Wild Riches, but they switched things up theme-wise. Other movies that come in mind when I think of this theme are Mowgli and The Jungle Book. If any of these movies evoke warm and fuzzy feelings, you'll definitely want to try out Wild Wild Bananas! Players can win up to 12,000x their bet on this slot, and the game has a money prize collection system and a bonus round with an expanding grid.
Theme
Wild Wild Bananas takes place on a tropical island. In the background lies a sunny beach, gorgeous palm trees, colorful flowers, and several lizards sunbathing on large leaves. This slot includes tons of exotic plant life! The seawater in the background is tranquil and calming, and the sky is bright blue and depicts a cheerful island day. The game grid is laced together using bamboo, and symbols within the board include friendly-looking green snakes, bananas, colorful flowers, and a jungle boy-type character. I'm not sure if the game theme is supposed to be based around what it'd be like to be a Tarzan-like character, living an isolated life away from civilization, or if it's supposed to be based on a time before technology, but either way, Wild Wild Bananas achieves it's overall aesthetic goals.
Special Features
The wild symbols also help activate the Money Collect Feature and the free spin rounds. The bananas are the money symbols and appear on reels three, four, and five. If the banana symbols land, players will receive a multiple ranging from 1x to 25x their bet. The bananas can also display the three jackpots, known as the Mini, Major, and Mega jackpots. The Mega jackpot is worth 500x your bet, while the Major is worth 100x and the mini is worth 50x. The jackpot symbols only appear on the fifth reel.
When the wild symbols land on the first two reels and a bonus symbol arrives on the third reel, players are paid out 10 free spins. During free spins, more wilds and bananas are present on the reels. There is also a golden money symbol which is present on reels 3-5 during the bonus round. When a golden money symbol hits, the number of positions on the reel increase by +1 for the remainder of the feature. The golden money symbol can cover a maximum of eight positions. If players trigger eight golden money symbols, they'll receive 5-10 free spins.
Summary
This slot has incredible bonus features, a light and playful theme, and everything else you could want from an island adventure-themed game. Some may say this theme is a little nonsensical or children, but for me that's almost exactly what draws me into the game. I love the lively graphics, the silly symbols and the glittering visuals. I love they drew inspiration from movies like The Jungle Book and Tarzan for this slot, best of all! The numerous jackpots, along with the free spins rounds and the Money Collect feature make this slot as rewarding as it is fun. When it comes to my personal rating system, I've give this slot five out of five stars. I would recommend it to nearly anyone. It's even a good slot for high rollers!
