Monster Wins
Unlike those frightful monsters that used to live under our beds or in our bedroom closets and had that awful custom to scare us in the middle of the night during our childhood, monsters brought to us by NextGen are too cute to cause any fear.
Their innocent-looking, smiling faces presented in this five-reel slot with 1024 ways to win are more likely to cause joy rather than fear, especially because some of them could help us land hefty payouts.
All you need to do is start the relationship with the Boss Monster on the right foot, since this five-eyed blue creature is running things on this mysterious planet, but, sometimes, getting on his good side is not an easy task and you might have to feed him a bunch of coins before you start winning.

How To Play It
There are no standard paylines in this NextGen title, since, as already mentioned, it offers1024 ways to win. The most important thing to remember is that you need to land at least three identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right to start winning.
Betting is fixed at 50 coins per spin, but you can change the coin value, that goes from $0.01 to $2.00, which means that the minimum bet you can wager is $0.50, while the maximum bet is $100. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to play this game, since the rules are quite simple and all you need to do is start spinning the reels.
Concerning the symbols populating the reels, there are all sorts of colourful cute monsters and the most important thing is that the bigger they are, the more money they are worth. Bearing this in mind, try to land as much Boss Monster symbols since they pay the most in base game, and usually come in stacks, particularly on reel 1. The Wild symbol, which appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, will replace all other symbols except Scatter.
Special Features
If gamers succeed in landing a full-reel stack of Boss Monster symbols on reel 1, Unleash the Boss Monster feature will be triggered, allowing the Boss Monster to use his tentacles and substitute a couple of random symbols on the reels with Boss Monster symbols, thus rewarding gamers with additional possibilities for winning combinations.
Bonus Scatter symbol is crucial for triggering the Free Games feature. Three or more Scatters will award players with three free spins during which a stack of Boss Monster symbols will remain locked on reel 1, meaning that Unleash the Boss Monster feature will be active during the freebies. With a bit of luck, you might end up with more than just 3 free spins, since the feature can be retriggered at any time.
If you are not satisfied with the amount of money won, you may choose the Gamble feature after every winning. In Gamble round you can test your luck in a card game and multiply your winnings by guessing the correct colour or suit of the hidden card, but you can easily lose everything you won.
Maximum Payouts
Boss Monster symbol pays the most among other monster symbols, offering 100 coins for five of a kind, since, thanks to the Unleash the Boss Monster feature, stacked Boss Monster symbols and 1024 ways to win, gamers might win a decent amount of money.
Bonus Scatter symbol is the highest paying symbol in the slot, with 2,500 coins for five of a kind, but, frankly, you will not see this combination on the reels very often.
Summary
Being big fans of cartoon-like animations, we have to say that NextGen did a pretty good job with the visual appearance of the 2016 release, and at times we had the impression of watching a cartoon rather than playing a video slot.
The additional features are quite impressive as well and make your playing time more enjoyable. However the potential payouts in the base game did not impress us, because the maximum wins offered by monster symbols are not that great, despite the fact the gamers might land several winning combinations at once due to 1024 ways to win.
Bonus Scatter does offer 2,500 coins, but it is not easy to land a five-of-a-kind combination. NextGen did release several amazing products of late, but we do not consider Monster Wins to be one of them.
