Banana Jones Slots
Banana Jones slots is a board-game-style casino game where the goal is to get the pilot monkey to the temple. If you make it that far, he collects gems to win major cash prizes. Getting him there is tricky, however.
The thing about this game is that the board game is patterned after Snakes and Ladders. Landing on certain spots can slide the little monkey back to the lower rows. The game has five snakes and three “ladders” or vines in this case, so the odds are higher that you’ll hit a snake. As two of the snakes are near the temple entrance, it gets frustrating.
Navigating the Board
The Snakes and Ladders style board is set in a lagoon. Your spaces are lily pads, totems, snakes, vines, and dice. Landing on the dice awards another roll, otherwise, your bet gives you five rolls.
The Totem symbol rises from the lagoon and awards one spin of the Treasure Wheel. That wheel has prizes ranging from 10 cents to $50. There are also Gems found on some lily pads. Collecting enough of those awards a prize of 1x, 4x, or 40x.
You also get a multiplier if you land on the snake two to four times (0.5x or 5x) in one round. The same is true of the vine, which pays 1x or 25x when you land on it two or three times.
There are 50 spaces to navigate before you reach the template, so you need the bigger dice rolls. Getting the higher rolls isn’t that easy. Often, we would throw 7s and 9s, and those aren’t enough to get you to the temple in five rolls.
What Happens in the Crystal Banana Quest Bonus Round?
If you make it all of the way to the temple, you’ll play the Crystal Banana Quest. It’s a pick ‘em game where you open a chest and find one of five gem fruits. When you find three matching fruits, you win the corresponding prize.
Getting Started
How much do you bet when you play Banana Jones? The entry screen asks for your bet before you enter the game. Those betting options are:
- 20 cents
- 50 cents
- $1
- $2
- $5
Select the wager that you’re comfortable with and wait for the gameboard to load. You’ll see the access to the rules, and the dice button starts the game. You get five rolls at the amount you bet. In those five rolls, you want to get the monkey to the Giant Temple.
We set the wager to $1 and gave the game five rounds to see how far we’d get and how much we’d win.
- 1st round – 50 cents
- 2nd round – 10 cents
- 3rd round – Nothing
- 4th round – 30 cents
- 5th round – 10 cents
While Banana Jones slots is fun to play, it’s not easy to win. We recommend trying it using demo play first. See how you feel and then switch to real money wagers if you’re having better luck.
