I've been playing the new Monkey King for the past two days at Vera&John and I'd have to disagree. It's definitely not low variance in my experience so far. Now I have have not played it a huge amount to form a better picture but I can see decent potential in the free spins bonus (500-1000xbet). Already managed a little over 100xbet bonus and it was with only a few sticky wilds. Of course the slot actually paying it's potential out is a whole another deal - just have to wait and see.
Other than that it's very well done. I like the look, music and how it plays. The monkey king jumping down to help the player is a cool feature during the base game and can be exciting (give me that damned third scatter!). The base game seems to be really dry most of the time which was a surprise for me at least. Getting those wilds to land on both 2nd and 4th reel doesn't seem that easy at all. So far I've only managed to get them once at the same time - they stuck around for quite some time to give me a nice balance boost.
So at least I'll be trying this slot out for quite some time yet. IMO Yggdrasil has gotten it right with many of it's slots of late. Golden Fish Tank, Vikings go Wild and Seasons. All very enjoyable with decent potential and now Monkey King. Becoming one of my go to providers really.
WoW I am surprised people actually like Rigdrassil...
Maybe you have completely different experiences with their slots but I have never ever come out with profit on any of their slots.
And I gave them a serious and fair chance.
Seasons might be the worst of all actually.
At
LeoVegas I was 1600 Euro up in a session a few weeks ago and decided to give Seasons a go at €2.00 per spin.
In less than half an hour it burned nearly 500 Euro with a max hit of 6x bet.
No free spins triggered (something that is known at Rigdrassil slots),must be something like 1/750 spins or so.
Luckely I didn't blow my fuse on the slot and quit.
Still cashed out a nice 1100 Euro profit but Ygdrassil stripped me of some serious coin.
Went back a few times after on lower bets and still it is not paying whatsoever.
Had the FS twice and both times the USELESS owl which pays nothing at all really.
As said before,their slots look graphicly stunning,nice sound/music put I wonder what the set RTP on these slots is.
I bet it is nothing more than 92-93% max.
Atrocious payouts.
