NetEnt brought slot players Jack and The Beanstalk, WMS developed Giant’s Gold, and now NextGen Gaming brings you their version of the famous fairy tale with their Jack’s Beanstalk online slot. If Egyptian themed slots can be re-produced, why can’t one of the most famous fairy tales of all time? It does in fact make for a great theme with innovative bonus round ideas. Also noteworthy is the opportunity to once again mindlessly type the phrase “Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum.”
Let’s see how NextGen fairs with their rendition of the fairy tale and the use of the magic beans to produce a rising beanstalk with big win potential!
Gameplay and Symbols in Jack’s Beanstalk Slot
Jack’s Beanstalk is played out on 5×3 reels and twenty five paylines. The backdrop is the same motifs you’d find in the children’s fairy tale with rolling green hills and rivers. Symbols include Jack the hero himself, an axe, a harp, magic castle, the giant Blunderbore, a golden egg bonus symbol and a magic bean wild symbol which can produce a wild beanstalk in the bonus feature.
Your highest paying symbol of course is Jack with five like Jack symbols awarding 2,500 coins! Five Blunderbore giant symbols payout the second highest at 1,000 coins. All payline wins pay from left to right.
Upwild Feature
Three magic bean wild symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 launch your Upwild Feature. Three free spins are granted and the “Upwild” refers to the wild beanstalk which rises after each spin. The wild beanstalk can grow to fill the entire reel for big wins before disappearing from the reel. The feature can be re-triggered when landing another magic bean symbol during the free spins.
Golden Egg Pick Me Feature
Three golden eggs on reels 2, 3 and 4 launch your pick’em style golden egg bonus feature. Pick three from five wild geese presented on the screen. Crack open their eggs to reveal wins of up to 2,500x your stake!
Summary
Your big wins will come from the beanstalk wild rising on the reels during your upwild feature where it’s possible to get three wild reels for 9 free spins. The graphics are excellent and the RTP is a highly respectable 95.459%.
