It was installed in many Russian land-based gambling clubs until 2009. Approximately in 2010, an online version of the video slot was created. Novomatic also produces online casino games under the Greentube brand.

Play demo versionThe licensed version of the machine is almost inaccessible to Russian residents. The slot is not in the official list of products on the Novomatic and Greentube websites. Apparently the model has been discontinued. Editorial experts were able to find the Bananas Go Bahamas video slot only in five European casinos that accept citizens of the Russian Federation.

Almost all unlicensed Runet sites have a vending machine. Provider Novomatic has nothing to do with these video slots. They are counterfeit products of the company. Owners of unlicensed casinos have the ability to adjust the return (RTP) in fake machines at their discretion.

Bananas Go Bahama is a slot with classic gameplay, field size 5 × 3 and with10 lines. The quantity can be reduced. During the test, everyone was involved.

The machine has a very nice bonus — 45 free spins without changing the rules and with the possibility of extension. The prize game at first glance is very generous. Hence the main questions of users: how often will it be launched and how likely is it to be renewed.

The slot has good odds. Examples in total bets for 4 or 5 symbols in a combination: 160, 250, 500, 900. This is including the Wild replacement icon. When he hits a combination, the winnings on it are doubled.

There were no large payouts in 1000 test spins. The best prizes by lines are 2 x 20 bets. In the first case it was 5 of the same type for an average value symbol, in the second case it was 4 scatters.

In the slot, the bonus win is unlimited. There will be a prize of more than 50 total bets when 45 free spins are received again. In the process, exactly 50% of special offers lasted. The number of restarts is not limited.

Expert Tips

Игровой автомат Bananas Go Bahamas от Novomatic в сертифицированной версии доступен не более чем в 10 онлайн-казино, ориентированных на жителей Европы. Зато слот размещен почти на всех площадках рунета, работающих без лицензии. Если есть уверенность, что такое казино заплатит, там можно попробовать сыграть. Предварительно необходим тест в деморежиме на дистанции в несколько сотен спинов.

If the results of the game on a fake slot are not similar to the results of the review by the editorial experts, it is better to refuse the device.

The video slot Bananas Go Bahamas is a rather risky game of chance. Free spins activation can be expected within 300 rounds. During this time, the risk of losing 200 bets is high. So to hunt for the bonus, you need a margin of 1000 bets.

Play the demoThe game can really be beaten with a small raise strategy after some accumulated bad rounds. You need to increase the rate with a minimum step. The normal option is to do it after 100 rounds.

The main winning opportunity is to get free spins extension. This gives a positive raise up to 100 total bets. After such an event, it is advisable to end the game.
