The older generations out there will undoubtedly find the resemblance between the theme in this slot and the popular Donkey Kong game in 8bit graphics from the early 80s. Take a look at what’s interesting in this town at any of the Relax Gaming Casinos where you can play for real, or here for fun.

Slot Features
Features in this slot are simple and come with a progressive multiplier. Each symbol type has a multiplier associated with it. All wins with the same symbol will have the respective multiplier attached to that symbol applied to the win. Multiplier values start at x1 and will get doubled after each win that the symbol contributes. The Max multiplier on each symbol is x64.
Free Spins
Landing 3 or more Bonus symbols on the same spin during the base game will trigger the Free Spins feature and award you 8 spins to start with. If the feature gets triggered with more than 3 Bonus symbols you will get an extra spin for each extra symbol on the trigger. During the Free Spins feature, multiplier levels on symbols that were reached in the main game will get transitioned into the bonus round, and the Multiplier Upgrade will be persistent through the feature. Any Bonus symbol that lands during the bonus feature will award an extra spin.
Summary
Banana Town might not have the glare and sleekness we’ve used to seeing in modern slots, but this 8bit design has its charms, and the Donkey Kong resemblance doesn’t hurt. It is a highly volatile slot which means you might have some poor runs, but if you stay patient, it might just pay off because the max win cap is x10000 the bet. This might not be one of the benchmark-setting slots that we usually see in Relax Gaming’s portfolio, but it still sets high standards and can offer some enjoyable time spinning these old school reels.
This Banana Town game reminds me of Flame Busters game by Thunderkick, in the way that the game graphics are presented in 8Bit rather than in 16Bit. The icon figures are all not smoothly rounded off, but I guess that doesn’t really matter much as long as the gameplay itself is smooth all the way around, and yes, it is.
Playing with 6 reels, 5 rows, and with a maximum possible win of 10,000x the bet amount, no one can ever complain about its 0.10 starting bet per spin. Other similar games would have at least twice higher starting bets. Banana Town is a clusters pay kind of game, needing 5 or more connecting same symbols to make a win, and win multipliers are also in play, both in the base game as well as during the free spins play. The maximum multiplier is capped at 64x for each symbol, but this 64x multiplier can also be randomly awarded in any one base game spin at any time. Nice!
The Dollar $ sign is the Bonus symbol, not paying anything for getting them, but serving to trigger the free spins feature game – awarding 8, 9 or 10 free spins. Each appearing Bonus symbol would add +1 more free spin. Each and every win of the symbols would double up their multipliers respectively, up to the maximum 64x, and this is when those big wins can start coming in. The top paying symbol, for example, would pay 768x the bet amount for each 5 of a kind win, and multiple wins of various other symbols would pile up the final winning amount.
My very first play on Banana Town was a few years ago, can’t recall now what my best win was at that time, but I think it was over 300x if I’m not mistaken. Not really a big win, but now I wish I had kept that winning screenshot instead of deleting it. Yeah, I had deleted so many of my other screenshots too, just because it was mentioned in the forum that paid reviews may not be reinstated again.
I have no bad things to say about Banana Town really. The lower graphics of the images don’t bother me at all, even though I wish it could be better. The game itself is interesting and exciting to play, but of course, those really huge wins can be very difficult to come by.
