Monkey Frenzy 2 Boss is Here: Slot Overview

Hacksaw Gaming collaborator Trusty Gaming may not have had the biggest catalogue, yet the studio has already followed up with a sequel. Called Monkey Frenzy 2 Boss is Here, it continues 2025’s Monkey Frenzy, a game packed with cheeky simian gangster attitude but not exactly overflowing with groundbreaking mechanics. The follow-up looks set to address that, pairing the same monkeys, bananas, and swagger with a longer, more feature-heavy setup.

Fresh title, fresh city backdrop, and Monkey Frenzy 2’s base-game street scene is as grimy as ever. Loose paper swirls about, random trash is scattered around, and it’s clearly not a squeaky-clean hangout spot. The vibe is all about starting at the bottom and climbing up. In free spins, the background shifts to the shiny success of downtown skyscrapers, suggesting that riches and everything you could want are within reach—if you’ve got the nerve to take them. Of course, it’s still a monkey-led caper, so humour runs through the tougher themes.

Set between a pair of speakers sits Monkey Frenzy 2’s play area. The game runs on 5 reels, 3 rows, and 17 paylines for checking winning combinations. To join the crew, players pick a stake from $/€0.10 to $/€100 on a highly volatile slot offering a maximum RTP of 96.29%.

The standard paytable ladder includes brass knuckles, cars, speakers, bats, masks, plus four monkey characters. Those four monkeys return 10x to 25x for 5 OAK, while the remaining symbols drop to 1x to 2x. A separate monkey features on the wild symbol, which can land on any reel. Wilds replace regular paying symbols and pay 100x for a 5-wild line. When wilds land across reels 2, 3, and 4, they fuse into a huge 3×3 symbol – base game only.

Monkey Frenzy 2 Boss is Here: Slot Features

This time around, the feature list is bigger, consisting of Gang is Here!, Gang’s Stash symbol, Meet the Bosses bonus game, and feature buys.

Gang is Here!

This feature activates when there are 2 or more paylines that include high symbol wins. When it hits, it doubles the total win for that spin. Wilds appearing in high-symbol paylines count toward triggering it, but a complete wild-only line does not. Gang is Here! is available only in the base game.

Gang’s Stash Symbol

In the base game, one of these symbols can land on the far-right reel. It applies a multiplier equal to how many wilds are showing on the reels (3×3 wilds count as 9) and multiplies the total win. The Gang’s Stash symbol is able to work alongside Gang is Here!

Meet the Bosses Bonus Game

Hitting 3, 4, or 5 scatters grants 8, 10, or 12 free spins. In free spins, wilds can expand to fill an entire reel when they form part of a winning line. These expanding wilds add a win multiplier on that spin of x2, x3, x4, x5, or x10 when 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 expanding wilds appear, respectively. Landing 3 scatters during the feature awards an extra +8 free spins.

Feature Buys

The feature buy includes two choices. They are BonusHunt Feature Spins, where each spin is 5x more likely to trigger a bonus for 3x, or Meet the Bosses for 100x the stake.

Monkey Frenzy 2 Boss is Here: Slot Verdict

Monkey Frenzy 2 Boss is Here keeps the loud, streetwise bravado of the first game and pushes it forward with a more developed set of features. It’s not wildly revolutionary—seasoned slot fans who’ve played plenty of titles likely won’t be dazzled by what’s included. Still, there’s clearly more happening here, meaning more to anticipate than in the original, which largely revolved around free spins with expanding wilds. Expansion remains a key part of Monkey Frenzy 2 as well, but Trusty Gaming has distributed the action more evenly so it isn’t all concentrated in one mechanic.

To begin with, the base game now has its own dedicated feature: Gang is Here! It’s straightforward rather than complex, but it literally doubles the satisfaction of landing two high-pay winning lines. The trade-off is that the two top 5 OAK payouts have been cut in half to balance things out. The wild symbol’s value has also been heavily reduced. Even so, multipliers can come from several directions—Gang is Here!, Gang’s Stash, and the free spins multipliers—which should more than compensate for the lower base values, especially since Monkey Frenzy 2 offers a top win of 10,000x the bet, giving it double the maximum potential and making it the larger, tastier banana of the pair.

Anyone who liked the first release—and clearly enough people did to justify a sequel—will likely want to try the bigger second chapter, and its straightforward approach carries a bit of old-school appeal. Even with the added content, though, Monkey Frenzy 2 isn’t a standout, and if the original didn’t impress you much, this one probably won’t change your mind.
