Go Bananas is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot from NetEnt built around a jungle-and-monkeys theme, released in 2014. Its signature feature is five different Wild Monkey symbols, each triggering its own random modifier — from extra wilds to multipliers — making every winning spin play out a little differently.

Five Wild Monkeys can land during any spin, and each one activates a different random effect: stacked wilds, extra wilds added to the reels, a multiplier boost, or bonus wilds that stick around for the next spin. There’s no separate free-spins bonus round — the entire game’s variance comes from which monkey (or combination of monkeys) shows up, which keeps every session feeling different even on a fairly simple 20-payline format.
Pros
- Five distinct Wild Monkey modifiers keep base-game spins varied

- Simple 20-payline format is easy to follow
Cons
- No dedicated free-spins bonus round
- 500× max win is modest next to modern NetEnt titles
