Banana Town Slot Review

Banana Town Slot Overview

Banana Town is Relax Gaming’s retro 8-bit trip into a pixel jungle run by cigar-chomping monkey mobsters. The whole thing looks like it has jumped straight out of an old console, with chunky sprites and bleepy sounds driving the nostalgia. Under the playful skin sits a scatter pays engine with tumbling reels, symbol-specific progressive multipliers and a straightforward free spins round, so the gameplay stays punchy even when the graphics are charmingly rough around the edges.

The slot plays out on a 6-reel, 5-row grid and ignores traditional paylines. Instead, Banana Town uses a Pay Anywhere scatter pays mechanic where any 8 or more matching symbols in view will pay, no matter where they land. Every winning cluster is removed by cascades, new symbols drop in, and each symbol type carries its own multiplier that doubles with each win, setting the stage for hits that can quickly get pretty wild.

Banana Town Slot Layout and Paytable

The Banana Town layout is a simple 6x5 panel built around scatter pays. You need at least 8 matching symbols on screen to get paid, with better returns for 10+ and 12+ clusters. The lower paying symbols are bananas in blue, green, red and yellow. Hitting 12 or more of a single banana colour can award between 2x and 3x your bet before any multipliers come into play, which is decent for low icons.

Premium wins come from the business monkeys, each framed in a different background colour. The cigar-smoking boss ape is the top payer, worth 12x stake for 12 or more symbols on the grid. Other monkeys sit between 4x and 10x for big clusters. There are no wilds at all in Banana Town, which keeps the symbol set very clean. The golden dollar sign acts as the scatter, triggering free spins rather than paying directly in the same way as the others.

Banana Town Slot Information and Design

Visually, Banana Town sticks hard to its 8-bit brief. The reels sit in front of a nightclub-style building where suited monkeys stand guard by the door and the boss leans against a flashy car. Animations are deliberately jerky, sound effects are chunky bleeps, and it all ties back to that early arcade feel. I have played it on desktop and mobile, and the grid, buttons and paytable all scale cleanly on smaller screens.

How to Play the Banana Town Slot

Getting started in Banana Town is painless. I set my stake with the usual plus and minus buttons, with bets running from 0.10 up to 50 per spin in most setups. Hit spin and watch for any 8+ symbol clusters to connect. When a scatter win lands, all symbols in that win are removed and everything above drops down. New icons fall in from above and can chain further wins in the same spin if the grid lines up nicely.

On the right-hand side of the reels sits the key mechanic: the Multiplier Upgrade meter. Every symbol type begins at x1. Whenever a symbol forms part of a win, its multiplier doubles for the rest of that base spin, up to a cap of x64. Those multipliers apply to all wins involving that symbol. After the spin finishes, everything resets in the main game, so the goal is always to chain enough cascades before the grid finally bricks.

Banana Town Free Spins and Bonus Features

Three or more golden dollar signs in view trigger the free spins in Banana Town. Three scatters award 8 free spins, and every extra scatter on the triggering spin adds one more. During the bonus, the multipliers you built in the base game carry over and, this time, they stick for the whole feature instead of snapping back to x1 between spins. That shift in persistence is where the slot really opens up, especially if you arrive with a few symbols pre-charged.

Any dollar sign that lands during the round adds one extra free spin, so the feature can drag on when things go well. There is also a Bonus Buy option in non‑UK versions, priced at 100x your bet, which drops you straight into the bonus with multipliers that can be randomly improved before the first spin. On regulated sites where I can use it, that buy can feel very swingy, but it is the fastest way to chase those x64 symbol setups.

Banana Town RTP, Max Win & Volatility

On the numbers side, Banana Town runs at a fixed 96.12% RTP in the standard version, nudging to around 96.16% when the bonus buy is available and active. Volatility is firmly on the higher side, helped by the progressive multipliers and scatter pays model, so I treat bankroll swings with respect here. The stated max win is 10,000x your bet, with hit frequency at about 18.45%, which lines up with how streaky my own sessions have felt.

Banana Town Slot Verdict

After a fair bit of play, Banana Town feels like a very lean machine: land wins, ramp symbol multipliers, hope the grid keeps feeding clusters. The lack of side features actually suits the theme. When a big line of mobster monkeys hits alongside a chunky multiplier, the combination of old-school graphics and modern maths really clicks. When the cascades die after a single small win, the game can feel quite harsh, which matches its volatility tag.

For me, the base game can throw the odd spicy hit when a symbol gets upgraded several times in one spin, but most of the proper action clearly sits in free spins, where multipliers turn persistent. That structure makes bonus triggers and, where allowed, bonus buys very tempting. I have had several sessions where the feature fizzled out well below 100x, but also a couple where a single symbol at x64 changed the whole balance graph.

If you enjoy retro, arcade-flavoured slots with a scatter pays engine and do not mind a bit of frustration in exchange for a genuine shot at four‑figure multiples, Banana Town is well worth loading up. It is not the most complex Relax title, yet the symbol-based multipliers give it enough depth to keep me coming back when I fancy something bright, fast and capable of going absolutely bananas in the right run.
