Online slots based on popular fairytales are always a hit, and Jack’s Beanstalk is no exception. Powered by NextGen this bright game boasts some great graphics and a couple of engagingly creative bonus features that draw nicely from the story.
Games
Jack’s Beanstalk assumes a standard slot format with 3 rows, 5 reels and 25 paylines. There is no Wild symbol as such, but a Magic Bean can appear on reels 2, 3, or 4 and these, along with a Golden Egg Scatter symbol, works to unlock various bonus features. Minimum bet is 25p, and if you’re feeling adventurous you can stake up to £50 per spin. The game seems to operate with a medium level of volatility, and delivers a nice blend of small and large wins.
Design
The reels sit at the top of the beanstalk, offering a sky-high view over the lush green hills and valleys beyond. Framed in thin gold trim the reels contain the usual 10-thru-Ace symbols in striking colours and a soft, curly font. The higher-paying symbols are all related to the tale – Jack, the Giant, the Castle, an Axe and a Harp. Simple, but visually very effective.
