Megaways Jack and The Magic Beans Review

The fairy tale story of Jack and the Beanstalk is a popular one in the world of online slots, and it has been depicted in different ways many times already. Iron Dog Studio adds another one to the pile with Megaways Jack and The Magic Beans, and it’s a follow-up to their previous Megaways Jack. The visual presentation has gone through somewhat of an overhaul, but the math model looks pretty similar (which isn’t a bad thing at all).

You don’t get to climb any beanstalks in this release, however, but the pre bonus round game is all about watering them to make them grow as tall as possible. The taller they grow, the more lucrative your bonus round potentially becomes, and the special Harp symbol awards 6 different modifiers during the feature as well. The 25,000x potential is the same as before, and there is plenty of variety to be found in this game.

Megaways Jack and The Magic Beans Slot Features

The premium symbols, consisting of cows, geese, Jack’s mother, a Giant, and Jack himself, pay between 2 and 25 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins. Golden Egg Wilds can appear anywhere to step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and wilds hold no value of their own in this game. Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic, and replaced by new and/or existing symbols dropping down from above.

This repeats as long as you keep winning.

You can land the Special Harp Symbol in all stages of the game, and in the base game it awards a guaranteed win with or without wilds involved. In the bonus round, the Harp symbol triggers one of the following modifiers:

  • Awards extra free spins.
  • Increases the win multiplier.
  • Awards a locked reel that always lands 7 symbols.
  • Allows the Harp symbol to appear on +1 extra reel (up to 4 reels, at best).
  • Gives you premium symbols spread across the grid.
  • Replaces low value symbols with premium symbols.

If the Harp symbol is still in view after the modifier has played out, it turns into a wild symbol.

You need 4 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and scatters can land on reels 2 to 5 only. A beanstalk pre-game determines the setup of your bonus round, including the number of free spins you get. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Between 5 and 20 free spins.
  • A starting win multiplier of x1 to x8.
  • Between 0 and 6 locked (maxed out) reels.
  • Harp hit rate (can land on 1 to 4 reels).

The win multiplier increases by +1 per cascading win, and you win +2 extra spins every time you land 4 consecutive cascades. The multiplier never resets during the feature, just to be clear, and the Harp symbol awards all the modifiers we described above.

The Bonus Buy menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure.

You can pay 100x your stake to get a random amount of everything, or 160x your stake to be guaranteed at least 8 free spins. Everything else is randomly determined as usual, and there is also a 3rd option. Pay 200x the stake to get 8+ free spins, at least an x4 win multiplier, while the 2 remaining extras are randomly determined.

You get a very brief taste of the base game, before we purchase the regular bonus round at 0:24 into the 3:46-minute highlights video. We got 8 free spins with an x6 starting multiplier, and we purchase the tier 2 bonus round right after. It plays out for the remainder of the video, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

It doesn’t take that much to make a Megaways title stick out, and too many developers tend to churn out the standard Bonanza copycats instead of doing something unique. Iron Dog is not such a studio, however, at least not in this particular case, as Megaways Jack and The Magic Beans comes across as both original and entertaining. The pace is excellent all the way, and the wooden tiles explode in a way that’s satisfying to behold.

We wish the Harp symbol would come with more varied modifier action also in the base game, but at least it gives you a guaranteed win. It’s fun to see what kind of extras you get to bring with you into the bonus round each time, but it seemed hard to get more than one maxed out locked reel for some reason.

The starting multiplier was usually more generously distributed, and we have no complaints about the 25,000x potential. Overall, this is a highly playable and fun Megaways release that’s well worth a closer look.

Pros

  • Harp symbol awards a guaranteed win
