Money Jar Review

Money Jar is a new cartoonish slot from developer Slotmil that comes packed with numerous features and bonuses, astonishing rewards, and a top-notch 1930's comic-inspired theme. Deeply inspired by the cult-classic black-and-white cartoon called "Betty Boop", the Money Jar slot combines beloved retro characters created by Max Fleischer with a classy jazz soundtrack and a 1930s casino vibe, providing an immersive gameplay experience.

Loading the game will take you to a members-only casino club straight from old cartoons, packed with land-based slot machines, poker tables, and roulettes. The slot has a strong 1930s atmosphere thanks to the retro drawing style and a funky jazz soundtrack that plays whilst you spin the reels. However, Money Jar looks more stylish rather than dated thanks to sharp graphics and smooth animations, so we should really pay credit to the design team for doing an exceptional job.

Money Jar Slot - Reel Screen

The actions of the Money Jar slot take place across a massive 6x6 grid producing 46,656 winlines on each spin. Three or more matching adjacent symbols create a winning combination, and there are 12 different pay symbols that are split into three categories. At the lower end, the pay symbols start with classic A-J royals paying 0.25x your bet for 6-of-a-kind wins, then go dice, poker cards, chips, and a mini 3-reel slot, worth 0.6x your bet for combinations of six. The higher lot, in turn, includes 4 character symbols, which pay from 1.2x to 3.5x the bet for full line wins.

Wild symbols are also included, which substitute for any other regular symbols to help you achieve wins.

Playing the game requires betting at least €0.2 per spin, while the highest stake option goes up to €30, so there are plenty of options to choose from. The Money Jar slot is powered by a highly volatile math model, so don't expect to get your returns too often. The game has a decent RTP of 96.09%, which is slightly above the average level, and offers a marvelous top prize of 20,000x the stake, achievable via the bonus features, covered below.

Money Jar Slot Features

Gameplay-wise, the Money Jar slot is equally impressive, sporting a huge number of bonus features. Central to the gameplay is the streak-style respins bonus, though, let's start walking you through the features that are available during the base game.

Money Jar Slot - Bonus Game

Win Respins

Whenever you hit a win during the base game, all winning symbols respin to produce bigger winning opportunities. During the respins, each reel can reveal either the same pay symbol, a Wild, or a Money Jar symbol.

The Win Respins continue until there are no more new winning combinations in view.

Countdown Wilds

Wilds can randomly land with a number attached to them, which indicates how many times that Wild can be a part of a win. Each Win Respin involving a Wild decreases its counter by 1.

Money Jar & Coin Grab

Money Jar symbols are available on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 during the base game and on all six reels during the Win Respins. In addition to this, Locked Coin symbols with random bet multiplier values can land anywhere on the reels. After all the respins are finished, Money Jar symbols will unlock and collect all adjacent coins. Moreover, adjacent jars always collect each other's coin values.

Extra Chance

The Extra Chance feature triggers automatically after all the respins are finished if there are two Money Jar symbols present on the reels. All adjacent positions around Money Jar symbols will respin to bring additional coins or jars.

Money Jar Bonus Game

Landing 3 or 4 Money Jar symbols simultaneously on the reels awards the Money Jar Bonus Game. It starts with 3 lives, and each spin reduces the life counter by 1. However, landing a Heart anywhere in view resets the Life Meter back to 3.

Money Jar symbols jump to adjacent positions between the spins and collect all adjacent coins, jars, and a bunch of other bonus symbols that appear during the feature:

• Doubler - doubles the values of all symbols in view.
• Payer - adds its own value to all symbols in view.
• Magnet - collects values of all visible coin symbols at the beginning of each spin until it is collected by a Money Jar.
• Persistent Payer - adds its own value to all visible symbols on each spin.
• Persistent Magnet - collects values of all visible coin symbols at the beginning of each spin. Can be collected by Money Jars multiple times.

Fast Track

Those who are willing to skip the less exciting part and jump straight into the action can use the buy bonus to immediately activate one of the following features:

• 2+ Countdown Wilds - triggers a game round with guaranteed two or more Countdown Wilds at the cost of 5x your current bet. Boosts the RTP to 96.22%.
• 3+ Countdown Wilds - triggers a game round with guaranteed three or more Countdown Wilds at the cost of 20x your current bet. Boost the RTP to 96.29%.
• 2 Money Jars - triggers a game round with guaranteed two Money Jars at the cost of 30x the selected bet. Boost the RTP to 96.40%.
• Bonus - triggers a game round with a guaranteed Bonus Game trigger at the cost of 100x the selected bet. Boost the RTP to 96.90%.

Burst Mode

The Burst Mode allows you to play the Money Jar slot much faster, with no excess animations, effects and etc. All you need to do is select the preferred number of spins from 10 to 1,000 and press play.
