Legend of the Golden Monkey Pokies
The legendary Sun Wukong of Ancient Chinese folklore is no newcomer to online pokies. However, we haven't come across him in such spin-kickingly awesome fashion before. With reliable software by Yggdrasil a player knows they're usually in good hands.
Can the same be said of latest release Legend of the Golden Monkey video pokie? With Wins all Ways and a variety of Wild bonus features we put it to the test.

Intricate Reels of Wins all Ways
An ornate pagoda with intricate fish carvings and a smattering of golden coins frames the 5x3 reels. Symbols of Ancient Chinese artefacts are illustrated in muted colours. Graphics are strong, but the reels are busy with symbols and playing card suits.
The accompanying soundtrack is classic Yggdrasil. It features authentic sounding instruments in a very modern, fast paced tune that drives energy and drama.
Symbols pay up to 250x your line bet for 5OAK, which would be low on a traditional payline structure. However, with the Wins all Ways structure win lines are multiplied when landing multiple winning symbols on one reel.
There are also a handful of Wilds features to increase win lines.
Wilds and Golden Monkey Features
On reels two and four any Golden Monkey Wild symbol forming a win will catch fire and becomes a sticky Wild. It'll remain sticky for as many spins as it completes wins.
There's also a Count Down Wild that could appear on Reel 3. It'll appear with a number of spins for which it'll remain on the reels.
And finally, the random Golden Monkey Feature sees the fabulous Monkey King himself come spinning down to the front of the reels. He will then drop kick/spin-kick or punch any symbol on the reels, turning it into a higher paying symbol, including either a sticky Wild or a Count Down Wild.
Free Spins and Treasure Chest
A further bonus can be found from under the lid of the Treasure Chest on Reel 5. It may offer an instant multiplier of 1000x your line bet or it could trigger the Free Spins round. During Free Spins it would offer either the same multiplier or two additional spins.
The Free Spins symbol is the other way to trigger the bonus game and you'll need at least three. Four will also reward you 1000x your line bet and five will reward 5000x your line bet.
A player has three choices of Free Spins modes. You can choose
- 6 Free Spins with increasing sticky Wilds on Reels 2 + 4
- 8 Free Spins with sticky Wilds on Reels 2 + 4 and a potential stacked Wilds on reel 3
- 10 Free Spins with a permanent sticky Wild in central position and increasing sticky Wilds on reels 2 + 4
We've had some great Free Spins rounds with these added Wilds features, but, we've also hit some patches when we just never seem to trigger Free Spins at all.
The Legend of the Golden Monkey Video Pokie - Awesome
This is a fun and energetic Chinese themed pokie with great graphics and a soundtrack that suits the theme and drives a fast pace.
Playtech's Sun Wukong video pokie is another great online gambling to try, but, first you'll have to tear yourself away from the awesomeness of Yggdrasil's spinning monkey antics.
