Pragmatic Play stuck to their usual combination of pay symbols on The Dog House slot. You will find the playing cards suit at the lower end of the paytable, while the medium level turns up a dog collar and a tasty canine treat. The top-paying symbol spots are reserved for the four furry characters, four pure breed dogs worthy of the suburb. Monkey Warrior slot by Pragmatic Play reverts back to their usual look of dark reels, lots of gold about and an oriental theme. I don't need to tell you what kind of music and sound effects are present here but if you've seen their other slots such as Caishen's Gold, 5 Lions and 8 Dragons for example, you'll know the answer to that! The theme takes us back to those classical Chinese icons of.
In his mission to abolish injustice and corruption, the Monkey Warrior has a box of tricks ready to use:
- Tang Sanzang, the Buddhist monk – Pays 20x your bet if you land 5 on a payline
- Zhu Bajie, one of our hero’s helpers – Pays 12x your bet if you land 5 on a payline
- Sha Wujing, ex-general in Heaven – Pays 8x your bet if you land 5 on a payline
- Golden parchment – Pays 6x your bet if you land 5 on a payline
- Potion bottle – Pays 2x your bet if you land 5 on a payline
- The Ace, King and Queen cards – Each pays 2x your bet if you land 5 on a payline
The mighty Monkey Warrior is the Wild Symbol – this is the rebellious half. It can substitute for all symbols, except for the Bonus and the Money Symbols. This proves that our hero knows the 72 Earthly transformations very well.
The Bonus Symbol is Sun Wukong’s magical staff. This symbol can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 and can trigger the Free Spins Feature. The Bonus Symbol pays 2x your bet if you hit 3 on the screen.
The most powerful symbol is the Money Symbol. This one looks like a pink fruit and can land on any reel. With each spin, it takes a random value from a predefined set or the values of the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand jackpots. This special symbol can also trigger the Money Respin Feature. Seems like a pretty juicy fruit to us.
The design here is rather good. Set against a backdrop of an enchanted garden, the gold reels feature A, K and Q symbols alongside a bottle of potion, a scroll and 3 characters from the story. The best of them 1, 2 or 20 times your total stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 of them on adjacent reels. The Monkey King is the game’s wild. He substitutes for all of the standard symbols. Monkey Warrior comes with 2 feature rounds.
Free Spins feature - this round is triggered by landing the Bonus symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. You’ll then receive a payout of double your stake before going on to play 8 free spins. The reels here are filled with higher value and bonus symbols only. Unlimited retriggers are possible too.
Money Respin feature - the pink fruit is the Money Symbol. Land 6 of these on the same spin to trigger the Money Respin feature. After a payout is made, the standard symbols are removed with the fruit symbols locking in place. Each fruit symbol comes with a cash value or a Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot attached. You’ll then receive 5 respins where the reels feature just fruit and blanks.
After a spin, you could be offered the choice of 3 treasure chests. This can add extra respins to your total. The feature continues until you run out of respins or you fill up all 15 reel positions. All the cash values are then added together and that’s what you’ll win. That amount is doubled if you manage to fill the whole of the screen with fruit symbols. The Jackpot prizes are equal to 30, 50, 100 or 200 times your total stake.
Monkey Warrior Pragmatic Play
Monkey Warrior is a typical Pragmatic Play slot. It’s not hugely innovative but all the elements are well put together. That’s true of both the design and the features that are perfectly solid without being overly flashy. The variance here is in the medium to high range with top payouts of 6,080 times your total stake in the Money Respin feature! You can also win 4,860 times your stake if you fill the reels with the highest value character symbol.

We liked this re-telling of a classic Chinese folk tale. The simple gameplay works well and it’s volatile enough to keep things interesting. If you like the Asian theme, then Monkey Warrior is a slot to consider – another one I would play is Yggdrasil Gaming’s Legend of the Golden Monkey.
