How To Play Megaways Jack Mobile Slot
Iron Dog Studios bring us their version of 117,649 ways to win in this Megaways Jack slot, but will it have a happy ending?
Who doesn’t know the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk? You’ve got all the key aspects here in this Megaways Jack mobile slot, from the little cottage to the magical harp, the giant and the beanstalk that you climb to get to the gold.
But in order to climb to the beanstalk and get to the gold, you are going to have a long journey to sell that cow at the market, we promise you that.
That’s ok though, with up to 117,649 ways to win and 6 reels with ever-changing rows of symbols, add plenty of wins, especially as the avalanching wins create explosions on screen that give you a quick win flow that is typical of how Megaways slots work.
The Megaways Jack slot is all about that beautiful harp
And you don’t even have to climb up the beanstalk to get it, it’s sitting right there to the left of the reels.
Randomly during the base game, that harp can give you a multitude of features, from up to 5x multipliers to extra wilds, to more rows in a reel, or a respin to give you more chances of getting scatters.
It’s a fun little feature, but mostly it just keeps you entertained as you wait to catch not one, not three, but 8 magic bean symbols to get just 8 free spins.
During the free spins is where you’ll get the big wins of 25,000x your bet or more thanks to an increasing multiplier on every single win. Without those multipliers, the paytable isn’t worth a whole load.
Can you get 8 magic beans and trigger 8 free spins?
It’s hard work getting those 8 magic beans, as you have to have multiple avalanching wins in a row to catch that many. Granted, one symbol can make you go up as many as 3 steps in a row, but it’s pretty rare.
And that’s the problem with this Megaways Jack slot game. It’s so damn frustrating, trying to get enough magic beans to get up to the Giant’s castle. Even then you are just as likely to be chased out than walk away with the golden goose.
Thank-fully you do get nuggets of help. Sometimes you can get reels locked so they always show 7 symbols, giving you more ways to win. If you get enough beans, you may start the free spins with a 2x multiplier or more harp features.
There’s hope, but we certainly weren’t lucky enough to trick this game to give us the gold. We’d probably still prefer to play on the Bonanza slot game or maybe the NetEnt Jack and The Beanstalk slot.
