Banana Town

Relax Gaming’s Banana Town slot machine is an ode to the 1981 Donkey Kong game. A similar drawing style has therefore been used.

Technical Specifics & Design

The playing area of Banana Town has 6 reels, each consisting of 5 symbols.

The minimum bet is $0.10 and the maximum bet is $50 per spin. There is a payout percentage of 96.12% and it is played with a high variance.

You can win up to 10,000 times your stake in Banana Town. Of course, that’s a pretty decent prize. Especially since the RTP is also above average, we can safely say that Banana Town’s statistics are in order.

If you look at the design of the slot machine, you’ll see right away what we mean. For it is as if you are in the middle of the Donkey Kong game. The many colorful and funny elements ensure that we are dealing with a cheerful slot machine. Logically, the design is deliberately drawn in an old-fashioned way, so that it really looks like the video game from 1981.

Features

Banana Town’s features are as simple as the video games of the 1980s. That is certainly not to say that the features are not fun, quite the contrary.

First of all, it is important to know that Banana Town uses the scatter pays mechanism. That mechanism can yield pretty high multipliers. Therefore, that’s what the base game is all about. However, you also have a free spins feature in this slot, of course.

Scatter pays

The scatter pays actually works quite simply. You don’t have any paylines in Banana Town. On the right side of the screen you see an overview of all the symbols that can land in this game.

You win a prize if you manage to spin 8 units of a certain symbol type. Where on the playing field you spin those 8 identical symbols is not important. After payout, all winning symbols are removed from the playing field, after which new symbols fall from the top to the bottom to fill the empty positions. This, of course, can produce new winning combinations.

Each winning combination in Banana Town is tracked for you in the table on the right side of the screen. This is because each symbol type has its own multiplier. This multiplier is doubled every time you manage to make a winning combination with the symbol in question. The multipliers start at x1 and can grow to a maximum of x64.

Banana Town is inspired by the successful 1981 Donkey Kong game!

Banana Town free spins

The major difference between the free spins feature and the base game is that multipliers during the free spins feature do not reset between spins. To activate Banana Town’s free spins feature, you need to spin 3 dollar sign symbols in the base game.

You will then basically get 3 free spins. However, each additional Dollar sign symbol spun earns you 1 additional free spin. Each Dollar sign symbol you spin during the free spins feature also earns you 1 additional free spin.

Final Opinion

We wouldn’t mind if Relax Gaming released more slots like Banana Town.

After all, Banana Town has an interesting and original theme, a very strong design and is suspended by a very nice mechanism. After all, you don’t see the scatter pays mechanism very often. The nice thing about this mechanism is that you have something to play for every spin. As a result, the base game never gets boring.

Huge wins can occur during the free spins feature because multipliers are not reset between spins.
