In the evolution of video games, some releases tower above others, providing inspiration, fuelling the industry, or being simply downright fun to play. One of the early video game titans was Donkey Kong, created by Shigeru Miyamoto and released in 1981. The game was a hit and went on to spawn numerous sequels, spin-offs, and franchises. It was the first time Mario appeared on screen before going on to find his own mega success. Tapping into the look and feel of an earlier Donkey Kong-inspired age is an online slot called Banana Town from Relax Gaming. Banana Town is a game that uses a scatter pays system in combination with cascades, symbol specific progressive win multipliers, and free spins.
King Kong or Kingpin? Call him what you want, this monkey means business! Head on down to banana town, you’re sure to feel at home with the monkey mafia. Look out for chain-reaction wins that will make your head spin. And enough multiplier upgrades to have you seeing double. This easy-going gameplay is all re-spins, random features and dollar signs! So take the gun and leave the cannoli, let’s take a trip to Banana Town.
Banana Town Features
The features in Banana Town are quite simplistic and include a progressive multiplier system in the base game. This gets a persistent factor when free spins are active. Firstly though, when a scatter win hits, the winning symbols are removed from the grid, and symbols left on the reels fall down to close the gaps. If a new winning scatter is formed, the cascade feature is repeated again until no new win appears. In addition, wins are collected by a meter located on the right side of the grid. Each winning symbol type increases its corresponding win multiplier. The multipliers start at x1 and double after each symbol win, up to a maximum of x64.
1- Free Spins
A total of 8 free spins are triggered when 3 dollar sign symbols land, plus an extra spin is granted for each additional dollar sign in view. While free spins are active, individual dollar sign symbols may add +1 free spins to the remaining amount. One important difference in the bonus round is that each symbol’s win multiplier is persistent, so they do not reset back to x1 as they do in the bonus round.
2- Bonus Buy
Rather than wait for the requisite number of dollar sign bonus symbols to hit, applicable players can pay 100x the bet to trigger free spins right away. Before bought free spins begin, win multipliers can be randomly increased.
