Triple Monkey (NTC33): a 3x3, five-line fruit slot with an always-on paytable

Three reels, five lines and a paytable that stays on screen. How the eight Triple Monkey symbols rank, and why two bananas and a coconut pay nothing.

Triple Monkey looks like a modern video slot, but underneath it is a three-reel game. Three bamboo-framed reels, three rows, five paylines and a beach-and-jungle backdrop with three monkeys in sunglasses hanging off a vine on the right.

The paytable on the left

You never need to open a menu to see prizes. The PAYTABLE column down the left side lists every symbol, each tagged "x3", with its value:

Symbol (three on a line) Paytable value
Monkey in sunglasses 300
Sun 200
Palm tree island 100
Coconut 50
Bananas 25
3BAR 15
2BAR 10
1BAR 5

Every entry is a three-of-a-kind. There are no "any bar" or two-symbol rows, so a mix of 1BAR and 2BAR on a line pays nothing.

The screenshot above is a good example. Bananas fill reels 1 and 3 in all three rows, but the middle reel shows two coconuts and a sun, so nothing lines up and the WIN box stays at RM0.

The five lines

Round gold markers numbered 1 to 5 sit on both edges of the grid. Line 1 runs across the middle row, 2 and 3 along the top and bottom, and 4 and 5 are the diagonals (the marker positions swap between the left and right sides, which is how you can tell). A win needs the same symbol on all three reels along one of those paths.

A thin strip under the reels shows "CLICK SPIN TO START" when idle and "GOOD LUCK" while the reels turn.

The bet panel

INFO sits on the left in blue. Next to it is BET with minus and plus (RM0.05 here), then the WIN box, AUTO PLAY, TURBO MODE and the orange SPIN button, which changes to STOP mid-spin.

Pacing a short session

With only three reels and no feature round shown, every result is settled on the spot. That makes it a reasonable game for a fixed number of spins on a small RM stake. Decide the count first, set AUTO PLAY to it, and stop when it ends.

For another short-reel title in the same lobby, see Tres Amigos. The full lobby is in the NTC33 overview. You can get an NTC33 game ID to try it.

Troubleshooting and questions

Does Triple Monkey have free spins?

None of the screenshots show a free-spin symbol, a scatter or a bonus screen. The paytable on the left lists only three-of-a-kind line wins. Open INFO in the game to confirm.

How many lines does it use?

Five. The numbered markers 1 to 5 on both sides of the reels show where each line starts and ends.
