The monkeys all frolicked around with toys of different colours and sizes, but when the scientists had reviewed the videos and measured the time each animal had played with the variety of curios, it became clear: males favour masculine toys, females – soft and delicate ones, ergo not society, but biology (correlated to the levels of testosterone) is the regulating factor why girls are more nurturing and boys more active.
This is a cartoonish video game that revolves around 3 monkeys, an old merchant, money, trees, and hats. It comes on the most common format of 5×3 with 243 winways (3+ identical symbols on adjacent reels starting from leftmost create a paying combination), plus a large betting scope (up to 150 CAD) – those are all sure attributes of the slot.
Low Variance, hit rate of 36%, RTP of 95.55% and maximum win capability of 5400x the total bet in a single spin (achievable during the Bonus with the Multiplier x5) are the remaining technical elements, which we established ourselves – via internal channels and with our in-house analytical tools. Below we gathered all the downsides, which gave us troubles with this slot.
- No publicly disclosed technical details of the game. That is why once again we were bound to make our own assumptions (right or wrong).
- The theme is unclear (a ragbag of symbols thrown together).
- The design is less than perfect (a farrago of highly dubious nonsense).
- The game lacks in its mobile version (some reels slack and don’t fall correctly on the screen).
- The Caribbean jazz melody is not attuned to the theme nor is apt for adults (sounds like a school band learning attempt).
- This low-risk action is not suitable for high-rollers (albeit allows betting with 150 CAD per spin), nor is good for low-rollers. The game is hovering around the starting bankroll when playing with min bets and not performing well when playing with high stakes.
- The RTP is insufficient (even though theoretically, this index should convey the logical truce and motivation of a fair game).
- Although the paytable is passable, and the maximum outlook we calculated as good (especially for such a variance) the game tends to underperform and generally, balance increase is nearly impossible. (The test sessions of our team all went to bust.)
- The Bonus is hard to get here. Although the highest outlook is exactly in the Free Spins, after 1 such round you can lose interest as the result is most likely disappointing and knowing that no re-trigger is possible, you will be ready to leave the game altogether.
All things considered, we reckon the Hat Seller slot is not a proper game for bonus money wagering (despite the low risk), nor for playing with real credits (the 9 disadvantages explained above). Consider yourself lucky if you manage to activate the bonus round within your first 100 spins (with medium bets) and then exit right away. In most cases, the second Bonus will not happen soon, and even if it does, the result will not be enough to recover your current loss.

Bonus Features of Hat Seller slot
- Wilds – The pile of hats is the Wild factor in the game. It is not paying symbol that appears on reels 2/3/4/5. It substitutes in the paying combos where regular symbols are missing.
- Scatters & Free Spins – The tree is the Scatter in this slot. Impossible to come stacked and even if it has the highest values per combo, it is unable to contribute to the slot’s maximum outlook. However, it provides 3x/10x/50x for identical 3/4/5 anywhere on the reels. Landing such tree formations during 1 base spin will activate always (no matter the number of Scatters) 12 free rounds. Re-triggering is not on the menu. Each win with any of the 3 types of monkeys is endowed with random Multipliers x2/x3/x4/x5.
