Mystic Monkeys is 5 reels video slot powered by Genesis Gaming software with 50 pay-lines. This slot is inspired with the biggest goofballs in the jungle – monkeys. But these are not the ordinary monkeys. These are hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil monkeys, which means there is 3 of them. The reels are set on leaves hung on some sort of wooden temple doorway, set somewhere in the woods. Give this slot a free spin here or visit any of the Genesis Gaming Casinos to play for real money.
Before you pass through this doorway, you should adjust your bets. When you click on "Menu" tab left from the reels you will open the bet panel. With "Lines" tab you will set the number of lines, and with "Bet" you can set coins size which ranges from 0.25 to 125. "Auto" tab will turn the reels without interruption for a chosen number of times. "Spin" tab is located on the right hand side from the reels, and is used to turn the reels with current total wager.
The Wild symbol is represented as the Stone Statue, and it can substitute for any other symbol except for the Scatters. The symbol can also form its own winning combos, and if you hit 5 of them you can win 750 coins. When one or more Wilds substitute in a win, the highest one will be paid out.
The Scatter symbol is represented as the 4 M letters, and it can form scatter wins. For 5 scatters you can win 50 credits and all the scatter wins are multiplied by the total wager. If you hit 3 or more scatters you will trigger Wisdom Free Spins feature.
If you hit 3 or more scatters you can win free spins depending on the number of scatters. You can get 5, 8 or 12 spins. Once triggered, you will be represented with 3 monkeys to choose from. The monkey you choose will assume the role of a Wild for the duration of free spins. Any Wild appearing will remain locked in place until the feature ends. Unfortunately, the feature cannot be retriggered.

The name of this video slot is “Mystic Monkeys” and its creator is “Genesis Gaming Inc.” As usual, quality of graphics in slots created by this company is excellent, and this particular game is quite pleasant to the eye since they are cartoon characters that give the impression of being pretty fun.
However, I think this slot of 5 x 4 reels is far from being one of the best games produced by Genesis Gaming since its paytable is pretty weak excepting perhaps payouts for lines of 5 of a kind with symbols of monkeys and wilds, and the truth is that getting hits on this scale is not easy, at least I have no happy stories to tell in this respect.
Our best chance to get a big win on this slot is during the free spins round where symbols of monkeys work as extra wilds and these and regular wilds get stuck on the place they appear until the end of the round.
For me, it is a pity that this round is difficult to be triggered and also consider that 5 are few free spins to reach fully enjoy this feature, this in the case of obtaining 3 scatters; if you get 4 or 5 scatters you get 8 or 12 free turns respectively, but frankly I think that getting only 3 scatters it is already quite a feat.
During the base game they appear celebrations with pieces of fruit thrown into the air as if we had achieved a big win, and this happens even though our winning only amounts to about 6x or 10x our total bet; if there was no celebration for these modest gains, that in other games could be considered routine wins, I think we would see practically no celebrations in this game.
My biggest big win in “Mystic Monkeys” slot, during my only session with it, was 17 times my total bet for a whole round of 5 free spins; I think I waited for so long to get a little; rather disappointing in my opinion. So if you are playing at a casino using this software, I think it's a good idea to leave this slot aside and explore a bit more to find a slot that gives you better odds.
