Chimps Go Interstellar in Banana Odyssey

Creativity is the lifeblood of the online gaming world, and slots players are always keen to see what new ideas developers can come up with in order to deliver a title which is different from the many thousands that are already out there. One idea that they might not have anticipated is sending chimps into space to plunder a planet full of fruit, but that’s exactly what happens in Banana Odyssey, which is the latest slot from Microgaming.

Welcome to Banana Planet

Created exclusively for Microgaming by Slingshot Studios, Banana Odyssey is a five-reel slot with ten pay lines. The reels are presented against a backdrop showing the vastness of deep space in all its nebulous glory, and the symbols used include the playing card ranks J, Q, K and A, a ray gun, a jar of nuts, two astro-chimps named Buck and Chip, a Banana Planet wild and a Free Spins symbol, which serves as a scatter.

As you might have gathered, Banana Odyssey isn’t a game that takes itself too seriously, and all of the symbols are illustrated in a cartoon-style. Audio is equally fun, with an upbeat soundtrack and space-age effects accompanying your play.

Free Spins Feature

Banana Odyssey boasts expanding wilds and respins, but the main feature is a Free Spins round. This is triggered by getting three scatter symbols on the reels at the same time, and when you succeed in doing that you will be given ten free spins.

A Captivating New Addition

‘Slingshot Studios have done a tremendous job creating an energetic, fast-paced slot, successfully combining popular game mechanics of respins, expanding wilds and free spins,’ said James Buchanan, who is Director of Global Operations at Microgaming. ‘Engrossed with aesthetically pleasing visuals and a foot-tapping soundtrack, Banana Odyssey is a captivating new addition to Microgaming’s library of games.’

Over at Slingshot Studios, Head of Studio Richard Vermaak was equally thrilled with the release. ‘We are over the moon to bring Banana Odyssey to the market,’ he said. ‘There’s a great deal of humour, energy and attitude in this game, packed with punch and visual clarity, and balanced with mathematical and aesthetic personality. The entire experience is designed to deliver that to the player. Its clean and punchy style makes the win potential easy to track, and the win events themselves are designed to elevate the player experience.’
