Jack's Beanstalk

The moral of the Jack and the Beanstalk story is an interesting one, especially when taken in the context of gambling. Poverty stricken Jack seizes the opportunity life has given him and exchanges his only possession for a handful of magical beans. He becomes very rich in the end and lives happily ever after. Is NextGen Gaming trying to tell us that taking risks pays off eventually?Maybe, but you need to play Jack’s Beanstalk and find out for sure.

We don’t know exactly how much gold Jack accumulated at the end of his adventure, but players can expect good rewards for their efforts. Having a very generous pay-table, the base game can reward you with up to 2500 coins, while the bonus game offers a particularly lucrative prize 2500x the stake. This slot is not loaded with features, but those included are structured in such a way for players to make the most of it and have as much fun as possible. There are two main bonus features in this slot, both quite easy to trigger and equally entertaining. The free spins feature is especially interesting and presents the highlight of the gameplay with the highest potential wins. The Wild symbol makes no appearance during the regular game, which can seem at times to be a bit dull, even though the small wins are very frequent and regular.

Contrary to the message of the story, getting rich in this game does not require any crazy risks like selling the last of your possessions or battling man eating giants. With coin sizes that go up to $2 and 25 fixed pay-lines, this slot can be played anywhere from 25 cents up to $50 per spin, which is a wide enough range of bets for any player to have a chance at winning great prizes.

This slot follows very closely the plot of the original story, design and features wise. The Magic Beans symbol sets everything in motion, propels the sequence of events and lets the Wild Beanstalk grow over the reels high into the sky. Jack than climbs up to a strange new land, steals the Magic Geese that lays Golden Eggs, the Harp that plays by itself and a bag of gold coins. The 5 reels are placed high above the ground among the clouds and oversized green beanstalks, with the land below looking very much like the English countryside.

Upwild Feature

This feature revolves around the free spins and expanding Wilds. You need to get at least one Magic Beans symbol anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 to activate 3 free spins. This symbol then turns into the Wild Beanstalk that grows upwards 1 row per spin,so the 3rd free spin has one entire reel as Wild. If more Magic Beans appear during this feature, they will trigger 3 additional free spins with one Wild reel each.

Golden Egg Bonus

Three Golden Eggs anywhere on the reels award a pick-me style game with prizes that can amount up to x2500 the stake. A new screen will show 5 geese nesting on clouds. You can pick three geese total to reveal various cash prizes.

Our Take on Jack’s Beanstalk Slot

If only the reward here is a real golden hen with a never-ending supply of golden eggs, but unfortunately, that is not the case. What you can expect is a good pay-table, fun features, a lot of small wins and a nice top prize of $ 5000.
