Have a good look at the monsters in this Monster Mania game. Do they look like monsters at all? Not to me they don't. They look more like kids dolls based on lovable monsters. Funny-looking cute little monsters that you can display on a shelf in your kid's room. Well, okay, so Microgaming has decided to use cute little monsters for this game, which is okay if kids are playing the game, but for adults? Hmm. Something has gone wrong somewhere.
The Wild symbol, if you can even call it a Wild symbol, is a very odd looking symbol, to say the very least, and is nothing more than a totally dumb useless symbol! It doesn't pay for itself, it doesn't double any wins, it doesn't expand on the reels, and it doesn't become stacked either. All it does is to substitute for other symbols except for the Scatter symbol. This is totally ridiculous, if you ask me. The Brain is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pays the usual 100x the total bet amount, and getting 3 or more of these Scatters don't get you any Free Spins game. What you get is a cash prize instead - 10x the total bet for 3 of them and 50x the total bet for 4 of them. What if you get 5 of them? Oh gees, the monster's brain has gotten into your brain, hahaha. The Monster symbols pay from 1000x to 300x the line bet, whilst the fruit symbols pay from 250x to 50x the line bet, all for 5 of each kind. So, what does all those values make the paytable then? A total rubbish! Hmm, okay then, it's a blardy low paytable, if that sounds better to you.

Okay, so what's the maximum possible win from this Monster Mania game? That can only come by getting 5 of the highest paying monster, for a 111x total bet win. just beating the 5 Scatters 100x total bet win. Is this game worth playing at all then? Hmm, my one and only play on it got my credit balance down to zero without any braking, without any big win, and without any thrills at all. No free spins, no bonus game, no special feature, no nothing, just boring spins one after another. Why make such a game in the first place, only Microgaming knows. I don't.
