Monkey Warrior
Monkey Warrior takes the legend of Wu Kong and builds two very different bonus routes around it. One removes the weakest symbols and concentrates Free Spins around the premium side of the paytable, while the other turns the entire grid into a collection board filled with Money Symbols, fixed jackpot prizes and opportunities to extend the number of respins. The latter is where the game becomes particularly distinctive, since filling every position doubles everything collected during the feature. The game uses five reels, three rows and 243 ways to win. Bets range from 0.25 to 125, volatility is medium high and the maximum win reaches 6,080x the total bet. Winning combinations require matching symbols across adjacent reels beginning from the leftmost reel, with several different positions on each reel able to participate in the same combination. Wu Kong is the Wild and substitutes for regular paying symbols but cannot replace the Bonus or Money Symbols. The Money Symbol is represented by a peach and can appear across the grid carrying either a cash value or one of four fixed jackpot prizes. These Money Symbols are responsible for activating the game's main collection feature. Landing 6 or more Money Symbols in a single spin triggers the Money Respin Feature after the normal spin result has been evaluated. All regular symbols disappear and the Money Symbols responsible for the trigger remain locked. Special reels containing only Money Symbols and empty positions then take over, with the feature beginning with 5 respins. Every new Money Symbol that lands occupies its position for the remainder of the feature and resets the respin counter to 5. This is an unusually generous reset structure compared with features that repeatedly return the counter to three. The round can therefore continue for a substantial period when new peaches keep arriving before the available respins are exhausted. The Money Respin Feature has another way to extend itself. After a respin, there is a random chance for three treasure chests to appear. The player selects one chest and can receive 1, 2 or 3 additional respins. These extra attempts increase the opportunity to fill empty positions and collect further Money or jackpot values. Four fixed jackpots can appear on Money Symbols. The Mini is worth 30x the total bet, the Minor 50x, the Major 100x and the Grand 200x. These are fixed prizes relative to the selected stake rather than progressive jackpots. When the feature ends, the values of all collected Money Symbols and any jackpot prizes are combined into the final result. Filling all 15 grid positions provides an additional reward by multiplying the complete Money Respin win by 2x. Free Spins use a completely different approach. Landing Bonus Symbols on reels two, three and four simultaneously awards 8 Free Spins after an immediate 2x bet Scatter payout. Special reel strips are used during the feature, removing the low value card symbols and leaving the more valuable symbols and relevant special symbols available. This changes the composition of the reels rather than introducing a conventional persistent multiplier. Another three Bonus Symbols during Free Spins award 8 additional spins. There is no fixed limit to the number of retriggers, so the feature can theoretically continue through repeated qualifying Scatter combinations. The Money Respin Feature can also be activated from within Free Spins if at least 6 Money Symbols appear, allowing the two main bonus systems to intersect during the same feature sequence. There is no conventional Bonus Buy in the original Monkey Warrior. Its feature structure instead relies on natural triggers and two contrasting forms of progression. Free Spins improve the reel composition by removing the weakest symbols, while Money Respins gradually occupy the grid with locked prizes and repeatedly refresh the available attempts whenever another Money Symbol arrives. Monkey Warrior is at its best when the Money Respin Feature develops beyond its initial six symbols. Every new peach simultaneously adds another prize, occupies another permanent position and restores the five respins, while the treasure chest mini game can create further opportunities to continue. Reaching all 15 positions then provides the ideal conclusion by doubling the accumulated result, giving this early Pragmatic Play release a collection mechanic with more depth than a standard Hold and Respin format.
