This 2009 Microgaming slot has nothing to do with the natives of the imaginary country Munchkin, as imagined by the writer L. Frank Baum more than a century ago. This wacky, colourful slot oozes energy and positive vibes, mainly because of the big basic images and bright card symbols, plus all the crazy 90’s sound effects.
The gameplay is pretty straightforward on a 5×3 grid, with 15 pay lines, Wilds, Scatters, and Free Spins, where all wins are doubled. Add to the mix a Medium Volatility, not a sky-high RTP of 95.33%, but an impressive max win of 150 000 coins in the base game and 300 000 in the bonus game; you will get to see that the Munchkins slot machine is surely worth tasting.

Personal testers’ opinion about Munchkins slot
Maybe a bit outdated, but still enjoyable with all the regular elements that make slots exciting to play. The most important stats here are the high hit probability of 46.49% (almost every second spin is bingo) and the Free Spins occurrence – every 91st spin, so also a high frequency, all of which made our testing experience even more fun.
- However, the upgraded version of the Munchkins doesn’t have selectable lines nor a Gamble Feature, so if you cannot live without your quick risky action, you should go to another old-timer, as this no longer offers such adrenaline rush. The game redo (from Flash to JS and HTML) also misses the auto button, which irritates hissing rolling drums and can impede some demanding players.
- Plus, let’s not fool ourselves the super huge 1000x the total bet – the amount paid for 5OAK Wilds already screams – it is close to ‘impossible to get me.’ That will say – getting even 1 line of Wilds is ambitious, imagine full screen of them – it will happen exactly never!
Our maximum win in the Free Spins during tests was 100x the total bet, with a re-trigger (total of 40 spins). This we thought was pretty decent, but then again, so many of these bonus spins were just empty.
However, we give neutral recommendations for bonus hunting, as the little creatures scored in the middle – 5.5 points (out of 10) – wagering index. We do think the hungry rodents, forced to eat your home items, can share some of their cash ‘stash’ once you play with real deposits in some Microgaming casino. The Munchkins online slot is a good option for all players:
- for the beginners – as it has simple rules, distinctive symbols and easy, yet not boring gameplay;
- for the low-rollers – you can play here from as minimum as 0.15 cents, yet you can hit the lofty 1000x the total bet;
- for the high-rollers – you can play here with medium or high stakes (up to 75 CAD) , and if it is your lucky day, the ultimate potential of this Medium variance game – 4000x the total bet, can make your day, your week or year!
