5 Monsters Slot Information

The game takes place in a space shuttle. After a major cataclysm at their home planet, 5 monster species were put in a hibernation sleep and left in a spaceship to find another suitable planet and populate it again. This is where you come in. For the monsters to succeed with their mission, you need to generate enough energy for each one of the monsters so that they can wake up. 

That’s the backstory. Slot lore might not interest everyone, but it’s a nice touch that makes the game feel more complete. 

5 Monsters can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 7 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. 

The lower-paying symbols include triangles, squares, and circles. Landing 7 of one of these pays 1x the bet. The higher-paying symbols consist of 5 different planets. Seven-of-a-kind with these pays 1.5x-4x the bet.

MaxSymbols™

Each time you make a winning combination with a higher-paying symbol, the Progress Bar at the top will start to fill up. When it’s full, the Collector Bonus is activated. 

On the top of the grid, you can also see the five higher-paying symbols. When you make a winning combination with one of these, it lights up at the top. On the next spin, any activated symbol that lands will be collected, regardless of whether it’s part of a winning combination or not. 

Random Symbol

The Random Symbol feature can activate randomly when a MaxSymbol is active, adding a few of the activated symbol to the grid. 

Collector Bonus

The Collector Bonus is activated when the Progress Bar is completed. It starts with 3 spins. Each time you land a symbol, the spin count is reset to 3. Multiplier Symbols with a value between 2x and 5x can land, but for the big wins, you’ll want to look out for the Activator Symbols. 

Unless you buy it, your first bonus will be played with 1 monster, your second with 2, etc. Each time an Activator Symbol lands, the corresponding monster will activate. Different monsters have different mechanics, as follows:

The Framer (yellow): Places frames with multiplier values on random positions. Any Multiplier Symbol that lands in one of these frames will have its value multiplied. 

The Payer (pink): Takes one of the multipliers from the reels and adds it to all other Multiplier Symbols.

The Booster (blue): Increases the value of one of the Multiplier Symbols

The Collector (red): Collects all multiplier values from the reels and adds them to its activator tile. 

The Mentalist (green): Multiplies the lowest and the highest multiplier values together.

5 Monsters Slot Conclusion

5 Monsters is a game that you really need to play for yourself to get a full grip on it. Once you’ve had your first Collector Bonus, you’ll quickly understand how the game works, and that’s when it becomes really fun, because 5 Monsters is an outstanding production on all metrics. 

Visually, graphically, and thematically, the game is phenomenal. Not only is it crisp, but the various animations is well-made, bringing even more life to the game. We shouldn’t be surprised, really, since Max Gaming offered something similar in Golden Gods, but for a young studio, it’s remarkable. 

The fact that the game gets better with each bonus (or at least the potential increases), is a very smart move. Of course, it’s a conscious decision to keep players in the game, but it’s actually really enjoyable. It sets you off on a mission to catch’em all, giving you a reason to stick to the grind. 

The bonus itself is somewhat similar to the likes of Money Train 3 for example, but they’ve really made it their own, with a completely new frame and some different mechanics. Thus, it’s not a re-skin, but a new take on a beloved mechanic.

5 Monsters by Max Win Gaming sends players on a galactic mission where gorgeous visuals and exciting gameplay makes for a very intriguing game.
