Banana Jones Slot Review

Real Time Gaming is a veteran of the online casino software industry that is known for its high quality game offerings. It really lives up to its name with its latest release, Banana Jones, which was released on August 1, 2018. This exciting slot is different from other RTG games. You do not spin the reels, instead you roll dice! The game has a startling similarity to that board game from our childhood – Snakes and Ladders, not just in terms of the dice roll but the overall layout of the game board itself.

Banana Jones is the primate counterpart of that adventure junkie born in the blockbuster movie world of Hollywood: Indiana Jones. The game starts with a movie clip showing how Banana Jones crashes his plane deep inside a jungle as he goes in search of the sacred Crystal Banana and get it before the evil Leopold the Leopard and his army of snakes. The plane crash, coincidentally, leads him right to the temple where the Crystal Banana is.

HOW TO PLAY

The game layout resembles a board and there are no reels to spin. The board is full of exciting symbols that make for an engrossing gaming experience, including:
Diamonds: There are 9 diamonds scattered across the board. You collect these one at a time as you land on a lily pad that has them.
Vines: Landing on the vines helps Banana Jones move forward. He moves up the vine to the new position and closer to the temple.
Snakes: Landing on the snakes takes Banana Jones backwards and away from the temple. He slides down the snake to land on the symbol where the snake’s tail is.
Extra Roll: There are 2 of these symbols across the board, one at the beginning and the other midway on the board. Landing on this symbol gives you an extra roll for free.

The objective of the game is simple: get Banana Jones across the board to the temple to search for the Crystal Banana. For each wager you place you get 5 rolls of the dice to do this. There are multipliers and other features like an additional spin to help you put together wins along the way and reach the temple in the available 5 rolls of the dice.

If you reach the temple by the 5th roll you can actually search for the Crystal Banana. If you aren’t able to do so, the game ends and you can place your wagers for the next round.

To play Banana Jones do the following:
1. Click on the game and once it loads, first place your wagers.
2. Once the wagers are placed roll the 2 dice by clicking the Dice icon at the bottom of the screen.
3. Each dice roll results in a number between 2 and 12. The number resulting from the dice roll is the number of steps Banana Jones needs to move.
4. To be able to search for the Crystal Banana inside the temple, you need to cross the maze of lily pads by the 5th roll. Aiding you along the way are the vines and the chance landing on the Extra Roll symbols.
5. Once you complete 5 rolls the game is over and the winnings are paid out. If you manage to reach the end of the board by the 5th roll the Crystal Banana Quest Bonus is launched.

The amount you collect as payout depends on the number of symbols you collect along the way till the end of the game. The symbols you collect or hit, be it the vines, the snakes or the diamonds, are tracked on the respective meters for these symbols at the top left of the screen.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Banana Jones comes with 2 fantastic special features:
• The Treasure Wheel Bonus
• The Crystal Banana Quest Bonus

Treasure Wheel Bonus
The Treasure Wheel Bonus feature is triggered when Banana Jones lands on one of the 4 Treasure Wheel Head symbols on the board. The symbol expands to show a statue holding a wheel with a range of multiplier values on it, from 0.1x to 50x. You need to spin the wheel; the value that the wheel stops on is the multiplier value you are awarded. Your win amount is determined by multiplying your original bet with this multiplier value.

Crystal Banana Quest Bonus
The Crystal Banana Quest feature is triggered once Banana Jones is able to cross the entire board. He enters the temple. Inside are a large number of treasure chests and each treasure chest has a specific fruit inside it. Click the chests to open them; the fruit inside is added to the meter at the top of the screen. The round gets over once the meter for any one of these fruits gets filled up. The highest payout you get is 62,500 coins and that happens if you are able to open 3 chests with the Golden Banana inside them.

VERDICT

Banana Jones is unique: the innovative approach of fusing the dice roll element into a slot makes for a different and exciting gaming experience. The fantastic graphics and animations add to the experience. The payouts are great and the Crystal Banana Quest feature can give you a really cool and big payout.
