Monkey King Rush review

Theme and Style

Monkey King Rush is a monkey, Asian, and martial-arts-themed slot designed and developed by Pragmatic Play.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The Monkey King Rush slot is set deep in the heart of some Asian mountains, with a training temple sitting in the background while Chinese lanterns sway in the wind. The slot is reminiscent of other Asian-themed Pragmatic Play offerings, such as Year of the Dragon King.

However, it has been injected with some personality thanks to the presence of the titular Monkey King. He stands to the right of the reels while you spin the reels, occasionally bursting to life in some animated sequences.

The soundtrack is as expected from a Chinese-themed title, creating a calming atmosphere with a more playful riff.

Gameplay

Monkey King Rush is a cluster-pay slot that takes place on an enhanced 7x7 game grid. Winning clusters are formed of five or more symbols connected horizontally or vertically anywhere on the grid.

The control panel is beneath the reels, with players able to adjust the sound settings, access the paytable, and launch the autoplay feature.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Like many cluster-pay slots, Monkey King Rush uses a Tumble Feature. Whenever players land a winning cluster, the symbols are removed from the grid and new ones fall into their place. This continues until no new winning clusters are formed.

Whenever a winning symbol explodes, it leaves a mark on the grid. The second time a symbol explodes in the spot, it leaves a multiplier. This starts at x2 and doubles every time a new win is formed on the spot. The maximum it can reach is x128.

In the base game, marked spots are reset at the end of a Tumble sequence.

Landing three, four, five, six or, seven Scatters launches 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 free spins, respectively. During the round, any marked spots and multipliers remain in position until the end of the round.

Players are given the chance to buy their way into the Free Spins bonus for 100x their current stake.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The Monkey King Rush RTP is a strong 96.50%, putting it comfortably above the industry average according to our slot strategy guide.

Pragmatic Play has given the slot a 5/5 volatility rating. The biggest win available in the game is 5,000x their stake. This is a popular math model used by the developer.

Conclusion

In many ways, Monkey King Rush is a reskin of the popular Sugar Rush slot from Pragmatic Play. The game has identical features and a near-identical math model. Not that this is a bad thing, with Sugar Rush being one of the studio’s most popular hits. If you are looking for a fun cluster-pay slot with a strong RTP and some enjoyable multiplier-based bonus action, Monkey King Rush is highly recommended.
