To know more about this NetEnt release, read our detailed review below...

Theme

Jack and the Beanstalk is an English fairy tale, which originally appeared with the title of ‘The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean’ in 1734. It would later become known as ‘The History of Jack and the Bean-Stalk’ in 1807 before being re-wrote by Joseph Jacobs in 1890 to most closely resemble the tale as it is known today.

In fact, this isn’t the only story to feature the title character of Jack, it’s just the most popular of them all. 

So, what is the story about?

 It tells the tale of the boy who brought magic beans home from the market and his mother threw them into the yard only for a beanstalk to grow there, ascending to the heavens. 

Jack proceeds to climb that beanstalk and steal treasures from the giant’s castle, and that’s precisely the story that this NetEnt slot looks to tell. 

Of course…

....the developer does so with some impressive graphics and entertaining animations that only they are recognized for.

Betting Options

Released back in 2011, this non-progressive game utilizes a standard video slot setup, comprising 5 reels and 3 rows.

To add on to that…

...NetEnt has added a set of 20 paylines into the game, which are fixed in position. You’re able to customize your wager easily enough, with coin values available between 0.01 and 0.50, while the bet level is changeable between 1 and 10. This means that an overall bet of between 0.20 and 100 per spin is possible in the game.

The visual side of this game is thoroughly appealing as well, with the background depicting Jack’s house and farmland. 

Upon the reels are some fairytale-themed playing card symbols, running from 10 through to A. The latter of these can reward you with up to 100x your stake. Then come the symbols of the watering can, the hatchet, the goat, the two-headed giant and finally, Jack himself. He can multiply your wager by up to 1,000x over as a pay-out.

Finally…

...it isn’t only about the standard base gameplay of Jack and the Beanstalk, either.

In true NetEnt style, this slot game features a set of wonderful built-in features that will enhance your gameplay up and beyond.

Special Features

To help with telling the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, NetEnt has taken the opportunity to include some perfect features into this game

The first of these comes in the form of its free spins round. Whenever you spin three or more of the game’s scatter symbol into view…

...which is represented by the treasure chest…

...you’ll activate 10 free spins in total. Whenever three more scatters appear during this round, an extra five free spins are provided to you on top as a reward.

Perhaps the game’s most appealing feature is its Walking Wild addition. The wild symbol itself is that of the game’s logo, but whenever it appears, you’ll be on the receiving end of a re-spin. 

During that re-spin…

...the wild will move (or WALK) one reel to the left and then another re-spin takes place. This continues, with you picking up wins along the way if combinations are formed until there are no further wild symbols in view on the reels.

 All wins that you form that contain a wild symbol will also be tripled and the icon substitutes for all standard symbols, except for the scatter and key symbols.

Don’t go by without getting to experience the Treasure Collection feature of the game, either. The key symbol that appears on the fifth reel of the game during free spins will unlock certain wild features. These are present in the form of the following:

  • Collect 3 key symbols and activate 2 Stacked Money Bags. With this, the next wild showing up automatically transforms into a 2-row-high stacked wild of two money bags.
  • Collect 6 key symbols and activate 3 Stacked Golden Hens. As before, whenever a wild appears after collecting six keys, it will transform into a stack of three golden hen wilds.
  • Collect 9 key symbols and activate Expanding Golden Harps. Whenever you’ve collected nine key symbols, the next wild coming into view will turn into an expanding harp icon, covering the whole reel that it’s on.

These treasure collections can be invaluable in helping you to boost your win balance because the wilds are stacked to cover more positions on the reels. Plus, with the fact that they’re present during the free spins round, you could really set yourself up for some great wins in this game.

Our Take

It’s our belief that NetEnt have really caught on to a great thing with this Jack and the Beanstalk slot. Fairytales tend to have a lot of intriguing focal characters to build slot games around, and NetEnt has done just that with this offering. 

Of course, being a game from this developer will always result in top-quality graphics being in view. Yet, the story is told in a thrilling way too. Plus, with the possibility of winning up to 3000x your stake per spin in the bonus, it’s definitely one to check out.
