An Introduction to Wild Wild Bananas

This title adds to Pragmatic Play’s series of “Wild Wild” slots, along with popular games like Wild Wild Riches and Wild Wild Wolf. This time, however, we’re looking at a tropical theme with a cast of characters that could be straight out of Disney’s The Jungle Book.

As you might expect, apes are prevalent in Wild Wild Bananas. There’s a cheeky money serving as a regular symbol, plus a simian statue that you’ll need to trigger the free spins bonus. But perhaps most appealing of all are the three possible jackpots up for grabs. You’ll learn all about these in detail later in our Wild Wild Bananas slot review.

Escape to this island paradise and spin the reels for a chance to win 12,000x. Enjoy the sun, sea, sand and of course, those Wild Wild Bananas!

Betting and Layout

Wild Wild Bananas adopts a slightly unusual reels grid that fans of the Wild Wild series will instantly recognise. There are five reels and eight slightly staggered rows in a 3-3-4-4-4 type layout, with 576 possible ways to win. The minimum betting limit is 0.30 credits per spin, with a maximum of 125.

The game’s graphics are not the best we’ve ever seen, but we did enjoy the super mellow Hawaiian-style soundtrack. That helped us to relax while playing, which was nice given that the Wild Wild Bananas volatility is so high.

There’s a maximum payout of 12,000x up for grabs, but the Wild Wild Bananas RTP varies by casino. Although 96.10% is the best you’ll find, it can be as low as 94.10%. So pay attention and be sure to get the best value.

Key Information

Gameplay and Features

There are two main gameplay elements in Wild Wild Bananas that you need to know about. First is the free spins bonus game, which we’ll cover in full later in this Wild Wild Bananas review. Then there’s the Money Collect system. Let’s now find out how that works.

Money Collect

The money symbol in this game is a bunch of bananas, which only appears on reels 3, 4, and 5. Each one has a random monetary reward, which can be 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x or 25x your bet.

In order to collect them, it’s a little different to other similar slots. You need to find a Wild symbol on both of the first two reels, plus banana money symbols on reels three to five. When that happens, the funds are collected in the top left of your screen.

Jackpots

The banana money symbols can also trigger a fixed jackpot. If you line one of the following symbols up on the fifth reel, you’ll bank one of the Wild Wild Bananas jackpots:

• 50x: Mini jackpot;
• 100x: Major jackpot;
• 500x: Mega jackpot.

Ante Bet

You can also use the Ante Bet feature to increase your chances of activating the free spin bonus game. This costs an additional 20% of your bet and is not available to players in the UK.

Regular Symbols

There are four low-paying symbols in this slot. These are purple diamonds, green clubs, red Hearts and blue spades.

The game’s premium symbols are the snake, toucan, monkey and a young boy, reminiscent of Mowgli from The Jungle Book. All of the symbols are cartoonish in style, adding to the fun feel of Wild Wild Bananas.

Wild Symbols

The Wild symbol features overgrown foliage and the word “Wild” colourfully written across it. They only appear on the first two reels and will trigger both the free spins game in conjunction with the scatter.

Scatter Symbols

Unlike many video slots, the scatter in this game only appears on the third reel. It’s a small golden statue of a monkey featuring the word “BONUS”. If you can find the two Wild symbols along with the scatter, you’ll earn ten free spins.

Wild Wild Bananas Free Spins

Trigger the Wild Wild Bananas free spins bonus by dropping the scatter onto the third reel alongside two Wilds. Do this and you’ll automatically collect ten free spins.

When activated, the game’s background changes to an evening sunset scene and a new Golden Money symbol appears on the reels. This unique feature of the bonus round only appears on reels three to five. But when it does, an extra symbol can appear on that reel. The maximum potential size is eight symbols per reel.

Golden Money icons look just like regular banana money symbols, only with a gold-coloured frame. If you’ve already expanded a reel to eight and collect another Golden Money symbol, the free spins will retrigger. You’ll receive a random reward of between five and ten respins.

How to Win at Wild Wild Bananas

Wild symbols are the key to winning at Wild Wild Bananas. They only appear on the first two reels. But if you can find them, they open up a lot of possibilities.

In conjunction with banana money symbols, you can earn big through the Money Collect feature. No more so than when the fifth reel contains a Mega Jackpot icon for a 500x payout. But dropping the scatter onto the third reel and activating the free spins bonus game is where the biggest rewards lie.

Payout Structure for Wild Wild Bananas

The young boy is the best-paying symbol, with 1x, 2x and 4x your bet for three, four and five symbols respectively. Next is the laughing monkey which offers 0.8x, 1.6x and 3.2x, followed by the toucan, snake and flower.

The lowest-paying icons are the playing card symbols. The heart, club and diamond all pay 0.08x, 0.2x and 0.4x for three, four and five matches. But the spade offers a little more at 0.16x, 0.32x and 0.8x.

Conclusion

Wild Wild Bananas is a welcome addition to a popular series of slots. The RTP is pretty average and the graphics won’t blow you away. But the theme is colourful and fun, with an enjoyable soundtrack, and there’s a familiarity about the game which is appealing.

Having to hit Wild symbols on the first two reels makes it harder to trigger free spins than other slots. But this unique feature at least makes the game interesting. As does the special Golden Money symbol during the bonus, plus the healthy maximum win of 12,000x.
