Though at first glance childish and trifling, the Taiwan-based Studio had delivered a unique game, notable with its layout and “2 for the price of 1” promotion. Colourful, and decently animated, the Monster Parade is not an avant-garde game but we believe, the producer didn’t want to enter a slick contest with this title.
Living in a toy box among children’s music instruments (drums, maracas) and other amusing trinkets (megaphones, party flags and water blasters), the main characters- gnomes (Wilds) tease the entire game with their puckish eyes. Once the lights are out (we imagine), the box opens and the frenetic disorganized merriment begins.
The glee package here includes 2 fun-sized (3×3) Left and Right grids, each with 9 paylines (18 total), offering an acceptable hit frequency (of nearly 31%) and a super wide betting area (up to 1800 CAD). Through internal testing and analysis, we have determined that Monster Parade holds the following technical properties: High Volatility, average to high game cycle and an RTP of 96.01%.
Do not expect eye-catching 3D visuals here, nor super audio presentation. Yet, there is a charm in this trolls’ party. It turned out that the 3 monsters are not entirely villain as they can duplicate themselves in the opposite grid, maximizing the total win of the spin. The Bonus round is also triggering in an unusual way (by the synchronous appearance of Scatters), plus there is a great odds of appearing more Stacked and Duplicating Wilds.
The game is entertaining enough, but A) the poor paytable (the top value symbol – Wild, only yields 22.22x the total bet for 3OAK – insufficient for a 9-liner), and B) the lack of Multipliers, both serve as justification for the low outlook of the game. You can certainly get an OK win, but a “monstrous” hit will never come here.
Such potential is simply not embedded. That is the biggest downside of the slot – the super meagre maximum prospect of only 400x the total bet – 200x on each side, which is shockingly low from any perspective.
All things considered, the Monster Parade slot earns our neutral recommendations in regards to wagering the bonus money and also playing with real money. It usually doesn’t support the balance in long sessions. All winning combinations are destined to be of a small amount, so a large balance increase is never possible. The only viable option here is in a short session if the Bonus round is accidentally triggered in the beginning. Then the action plan ‘Hit and Escape’ applies.
