Jack and the Beanstalk was released in 2011 and received an upgrade in 2023. The upgrade only added a Bonus Buy feature and improved graphics and soundtrack.
Of course the game uses Jack and the Beanstalk as theme. A fairytale about a boy getting magic beans, a giant beanstalk, a giant, a goose with golden eggs and a singing golden harp. Which are all present on this game. Except the giant somehow.
The game comes with 20 lines and wild and scatter symbols on all reels.
Each wild symbol that lands on the reels during the main game or free spins feature will become a walking wild. The wild symbol will move one spot to the left after each free re-spin. And all winning combinations with the wild symbol will pay times three. The re-spins will keep happening until no more wild symbols appear on the reels.
More wild symbols can appear during these re-spins.
Getting 3 or more scatter symbols will award 10 free spins.
During free spins the wild symbols can upgrade by collecting a special key symbol that only appears on reel 5.
Collect 3 keys to get a double stacked wild symbol. Collect 3 more keys to get a triple stacked wild symbol and collect another 3 keys to get an expanding wild symbol.
These wild symbols will also become walking wilds when they appear.
Three or more scatter symbols during the free spins feature will add 5 more free spins.
Jack and the Beanstalk is one of the best known NetEnt slots. It has become a real classic and rightfully so. It’s a very exciting game and one of my favorites from NetEnt.
Because of the walking wilds, even the base game stays interesting and fun. But those free spins are absolutely amazing. The upgrading keeps you on your seat and because all wilds become walking and won’t cost you free spins, the game can keep going for a long time.One of the best features, ever!
I really suggest that every slot players gives this game a try at least once. You won’t be disappointed. So no wonder they remastered the game and even released Halloween Jack, the same game, but with a Halloween theme.
