Mad Mad Monkey II

About Mad Mad Monkey 2

Mad Mad Monkey 2 is a jungle and monkey-themed slot from Light & Wonder, the Las Vegas-based gaming company formerly known as Scientific Games. Released on 30 November 2024, the game is a feature-upgraded sequel to the original Mad Mad Monkey, keeping the cheeky cartoon monkey at the centre of the action while bringing the mechanics into a modern format. It runs on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 50 paylines, set deep in a lush jungle canopy with colourful animations and a thumping jungle soundtrack.

The game has an RTP of 94% in the version available at Midnite, high volatility, and a maximum win of 3,674x your bet. The bonus structure is built around two core features: Double Wild Wins (where any winning combination involving the Wild Monkey symbol pays double) and the Respin Feature (a free spins round triggered by the Mad Monkey scatter, with total bet multipliers and jackpot prizes available).

How to Play Mad Mad Monkey 2

The grid is 5 reels by 4 rows, with 50 paylines that are always active. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.50 per spin, set using the bet controls below the reels. Wins form when 3 or more matching symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right on a payline, starting from reel one.

Lower-paying symbols are stylised playing card ranks rendered in jungle colours. Higher-paying symbols are themed pieces tied to the jungle setting: parrots, boa constrictors, gold coins, bananas, and other tropical creatures. The Wild Monkey acts as the wild and substitutes for all standard paying symbols except the Mad Monkey scatter.

When the Wild Monkey contributes to a winning combination on a payline, the payout for that line is doubled. The Mad Monkey scatter triggers the Respin Feature when enough land on the reels.

Mad Mad Monkey 2 Features

The bonus structure runs across the Double Wild Wins mechanic, the Respin Feature, and the jackpot prizes available during the bonus round.

• Wild Monkey Symbol: The smiling Wild Monkey substitutes for all standard paying symbols on a payline. It does not substitute for the Mad Monkey scatter.
• Double Wild Wins: When the Wild Monkey contributes to a winning combination on a payline, the payout for that line is doubled. Multiple Wild Monkeys in the same combination can stack the doubling effect, producing significantly amplified line wins.
• Stacked Monkey Symbols: Monkey symbols can land stacked on the reels, filling multiple positions on a single reel at once.
• Mad Monkey Scatter: The Mad Monkey scatter triggers the Respin Feature when enough land on the reels.
• Respin Feature: A free spins-style bonus round with total bet multipliers and jackpot prizes available. The exact spin count and modifier structure are determined at the start of the round.
• Jackpot Prizes: Jackpot values can be awarded during the Respin Feature, with the prize ladder forming the largest payout potential outside of the standard 3,674x max win cap on combined line winnings.
• Gold Coin and Banana Features: Gold coin and banana symbols can land on the reels and contribute to the Respin Feature trigger or activate additional in-feature mechanics.

Mad Mad Monkey 2 Theme and Symbols

The setting is a vibrant treetop jungle canopy, with the reels framed against lush green foliage, hanging vines, and dappled sunlight breaking through the leaves. The visual style leans bold and cartoonish rather than realistic, with bright primary colours and exaggerated character designs giving the playing field a high-energy feel. The cheeky Wild Monkey himself appears on the reels with animated reactions to wins. The soundtrack is a thumping jungle arrangement with tribal drums and exotic bird sound effects that build into a more dramatic mix when the Respin Feature triggers.

Lower-paying symbols are stylised playing card ranks rendered in jungle-themed colours. Higher-paying symbols are themed pieces: parrots, boa constrictors, gold coins, and bananas, with the Wild Monkey acting as the standout character symbol. Stacked monkeys can fill multiple positions on a single reel. The Mad Monkey scatter completes the special set, marking the trigger for the Respin Feature.
