Highly volatile, the max win is 3,000 x your total stake which can come from a free spin or the Wild Respins feature.

Theme – inspired by the fairytale

The Jack and the Beanstalk slot game is based on the English fairy tale of the same name. The slot version tells the story of a young boy who tries to become wealthy by going on a magical adventure up the beanstalk.

Originally released in 2011, it comes with 3D visuals. The look is a little dated but it’s solid enough and the graphics have been improved over the years to appear bolder and more colourful. With a light-hearted and upbeat soundtrack, it’s all very rustic and rather charming.

Set against a backdrop of green fields, mature trees and Jack’s shack, the reels are made up of lower value A to 10 symbols and higher value symbols that relate to the famous fairy tale.  They include a watering can, an axe, a goat, the giant and Jack. Jack is the most valuable symbol giving you 1, 10 or 50 x your total stake for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.

Jack and the Beanstalk Mobile

You can join Jack on his quest if you’re playing on a smartphone as well as on tablet and desktop devices. The simple gameplay works well, even if you’re using a smaller screen device. The Jack and the Beanstalk mobile slot plays pretty well for an older slot.

Jack and the Beanstalk Bonus Features

You’ll find a few extras in the Jack and the Beanstalk video slot that can boost your chances of landing some of the giant’s riches. There are free spins, respins with walking wilds and multipliers which can appear in the base game and the feature. The free spins round comes with wild extras for potentially big wins.

Walking Wild feature

The Jack and the Beanstalk logo symbol is the wild. This substitutes for all the standard symbols when it makes up part of a winning combination. The wild also triggers 1 of the game’s 2 features, the Walking Wild feature.

Whenever a wild symbol appears on the reels, a respin is awarded. During the respin, the wild symbol moves 1 reel to the left. The respins keep on coming until the wild has walked off reel 1.

More importantly, all wins including the walking wild come with a 3x multiplier attached with the payout trebled. It’s important to note that the walking wilds can appear in the base game and the Free Spins feature.

Free Spins feature

The treasure chest is the game’s scatter symbol. Land 3 or more treasure chests on the same spin to activate the Free Spins feature. You’ll receive 10 free spins.

Joining the action during the feature is a key symbol that can appear on reel 5 only. Known as the Treasure Collection feature, collect keys to bring stacked wilds into play:

• Double Stacked Money Bags: collect 3 keys and the next wild to appear will be a 2-high Money Bag Wild.
• Treble Stacked Golden Hens: collect 6 keys and you’ll bring 3-high Golden Hen wilds into play.
• Expanding Golden Harp Wilds: once you have collected 9 keys, you’ll activate the Expanding Golden Harp Wilds. These expand to fill the whole of the reel whenever they appear.

The Walking Wild feature is active during the free spins games too. The respins trigger whenever a wild appears. They can have a big impact when they are stacked. Once again, all wild wins come with a 3x multiplier attached.

A retrigger is possible here too. Land 3 treasure chest scatters on the same spin and you’ll get another 5 free spins taking your potential total to 15 free spins.

Jack and the Beanstalk Review Summary – this game has stood the test of time

The fairytale-themed Jack and the Beanstalk slot has proved extremely popular with slot players since its release in 2011. It’s easy to see why too.

The Free Spins feature has the potential to be an absolute cracker, combining respins, stacked wilds and 3x multipliers. That’s an extremely potent combination. With a max win of 3,000 x your stake per spin, your chances increase in the free spins due to stacked wilds from the Treasure Collection feature.

The visuals here might not be the most stunning you’ll see but it does have a certain charm to it, like Starburst by NetEnt. Even if the fairytale theme isn’t usually a favourite, it’s well worth giving Jack and the Beanstalk a spin and trying to land some of the giant’s treasure. Why not give our free demo a go first?

If you’re looking for more walking wilds, the Push Gaming’s Fat Rabbit slot offers a similar concept in the free spins. Sticking with the theme but for a complete chance, Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways from Blueprint offers 50,000 x your stake max wins.
