Jelly Belly Megaways Overview
NetEnt has released a new online slot game and it’s a Megaways slot. The game is called Jelly Belly Megaways. And yes it’s what you think of first. Cute looking candy type jelly characters. All in amazing colors and very sweet looking.
It seems the characters are some sort of royal family since there is a king and a queen. And the reels are set inside like a throne room.
You will find 6 reels that are between 2 and 7 symbols high during each spin. Giving up to a maximum of 117.649 Megaways per spin.
Besides jelly shaped suit symbols you will also find different jelly candy characters. Like I mentioned before a king, queen, knight and jester are some. Besides this there are also wild symbols, which appear on all reels except the 6th one. There are no bonus or scatter symbols on this game.
Jelly Belly Megaways comes with a maximum big payout of 20.000 times your bet and is a high volatile slot game.
Features
Avalanches
Winning combinations are removed from the reels and all remaining symbols fall down. New symbols fall on top to fill in the empty spots and can award another winning combination and the process keeps repeating until no new winning combinations appear.
Random Wilds
At random a dragon can appear awarding a minimum of 2 random wild symbols on reels 1, 2, 3, 4 and/or 5.
Free Spins Feature
Like I said earlier, the game doesn’t have any bonus or scatter symbols. Instead, free spins are triggered by getting at least three consecutive avalanches in a row.
3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 or more avalanches will award 3, 5, 8, 10 and 15 free spins respectively.
During free spins multipliers can become active when you also get three or more avalanches during a single free spin. 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 or more consecutive avalanches will award a multiplier of x2, x3, x5, x15 and x50 respectively. The multiplier only applies to the current free spin winnings and is reset for the next free spin.
Buy Bonus
For 20 times your bet you are able to buy the free spins feature. This will award a minimum of 3 consecutive avalanches.
Verdict
NetEnt already released a couple of Megaways slot games. But they were all Megaways versions of original games. Like for instance Twin Spin Megaways and Divine Fortune Megaways. I think it’s nice that they went with an original theme this time. And the theme is very cute and colorful and those candy type themes seem to pretty popular.
Triggering free spins by getting several consecutive wins is nothing new, but also not that common. I think it’s nice that they used this as a trigger. But I personally prefer scatters. Because I think 3 free spins is just too little and getting 10 or 15 is much harder to trigger.
A lot of Megaways slot use increasing multiplier. But those stick around. This game increases the multiplier, but only for the current spin. Which I think some players won’t like. I think it’s fine, also because it can go up to x50, which is pretty high.
Overall I think Jelly Belly Megaways is a great new addition to the Megaways genre and also a great addition to the NetEnt library. And with a maximum win of 20.000 times bet definitely worth a try. You can find it at any trusted NetEnt casino, listed anywhere on this website. Ot just pick one from the top 10 on the right.
