Jumping Jalapenos

Launched online in January 2013, Jumpin’ Jalapenos was born in the land based casinos and so many players flocked to this slot because of the Dancing sombrero wearing man and his chili peppers. With such popularity among casino goers it was bound to spice up the online casino world. Although Jumpin’ Jalapenos is available on the WMS platform, it’s actually a Konami video slot game. WMS reached an agreement with Konami in 2012 that allowed their games to become available online via WMS platforms.

Jumpin’ Jalapenos Characteristics

This video slot game features 5 reels and 50 paylines with a minimum bet of just $0.25 per spin. The reels are set up much like those multiple ways to win slot games with 4 symbols on reels 1 and 5 and 5 symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. Symbols include tacos, a Mexican hacienda, cacti, bull, alpha and numeric symbols and of course, the chili peppers. A sombrero clad man serves as the wild symbol.

Special Features

Scatter Symbols, aka jalapeno peppers, only appear on reels 2 and 4. When three or more jalapenos land on the reels, the free spins bonus feature is triggered. The player is automatically awarded 12 free spins and the bonus may be re-triggered. Aside from free spins, during the feature wilds that appear on the reels are “nudged” into place turning the entire reel wild. This is when the maracas come out and we see some fancy foot work from the fiery latin man.

Many players tend to stay away from gamble features but if you’re feeling lucky you can gamble your winnings for a chance to double up.

Conclusion

The graphics don’t have as much of the “Wow” factor that other slots on the WMS platform have displayed but there’s a reason this slot game made its online debut. The free spins have a tendency to re-trigger, the expanding wilds can offer a nice payout and it’s inexpensive to play. Aside from that, it’s just so cute isn’t it?
