We all know the fairytale of Jack who grows a huge beanstalk from magic beans and climbs to the top to steal treasure from a giant. Take a trip into fantasy land and live the legend with NetEnt’s Jack and the Beanstalk Slot, a fun game where Jack’s house is the background for basic reels where characters and items from the story show up as symbols. I loved this game’s entertaining graphics and animations, and the bonus feature will bring you so many ways to win, as well as the top possible prize of $300k.

You won’t have much trouble getting used to Jack and the Beanstalk Slot, the gameplay is simple enough, rewarding you with a win when you land 3 or more matching symbols on a payline. Under the reels, you will find the controls that let you spin, use Autoplay, change your bet, and access the paytable.
When a wild symbol lands on the reels, the game will give you a respin and the wild will move one reel to the left and you will then get a second respin. This process will continue, giving you multiple winning chances by standing in for all regular symbols, until the wild reaches the edge of the reels and disappears. All wins that involve wilds also get a 3x multiplier for a winning boost that could get you some huge prizes.
NetEnt always makes great use of Walking Wilds and uses the feature to deliver huge wins, as you will find out when you try games like Narcos.
If you want to find out what the free spins bonus feature has in store, you will need to land 3 treasure chest scatter symbols on the same spin. You will get 10 free spins and you can top this up with another 5 free spins when you land 3 more scatters while the feature is running.
Remember the giant from the story? Well, his treasures, the bags of gold, the harp, and the golden chicken, are part of this game too. You can get your hands on them with the special key symbols that only land on reel 5 during free spins.
Collect 3 key symbols to get 2 Stacked bags of gold and the next wild that lands will change into a 2-row-high stacked wild. If you collect 6 key symbols, the game will give you 3 Stacked golden chickens and any wilds that appear will also turn into a triple golden chicken stack.
Collecting 9 key symbols will get you expanding golden harps that grow to cover any reel they land on. Any further wilds that land after this will change into an expanding golden harp wild until free spins ends.
This is a great feature because, the more wilds you have, the more chances you have to win.
There’s nothing better than exploring a new slot game, but you can have a bad experience if you lose too much money on your first try. Give yourself the best first go possible with a free demo version, where you can use virtual credits instead of your own money to explore the game and uncover all the bonus features while keeping your casino balance safe.
This game’s RTP of 96.28% is a little bit above the industry average, so you can play knowing that you have a theoretically good chance of a fair return on your bets. If you prefer a balance of winning and losing spins, you will love this game because the medium volatility will give you just that.
Immediately after opening up Jack and the Beanstalk, I noticed the clean and modern design of the slot. I set my bet amount to $3 per spin and began. It wasn’t long until I had landed my first Jack and the Beanstalk wild symbol, and it started to move per spin across the reels, setting off different combinations. This was a massive advantage as the winning began coming in, and for every few wins, another would appear. With $36 already over my starting amount, I adjusted my bet amount to $5 per spin and hit a good win of $55.75. I continued and collected a few smaller wins to the end of the challenge in a success.
Results:Jack and the Beanstalk is an innovative and creative slot that takes an old tale and revitalizes an old children's folk tale in a way that can be enjoyed in a completely new way. It was mesmerizing to play and held its own; the graphics were clean, and the mechanics worked great. This title can be enjoyed no matter your playing style.
Jack and the Beanstalk slot lives up to the magic of the story it is based on. The Walking Wilds feature made the base game very exciting, but I really started loving the game when the free spins round kicked off and brought the treasure-filled wild modifiers with it. Your favourite childhood fables have inspired many wonderful slot games like Wish Upon a Jackpot.
