Theme – welcome to the Wanted list
With a crime theme, the Judge and Jury Megaways slot welcomes you to the Wanted list. You head to a courthouse where you hope the jury is on your side in order to win over the judge. Graphically, it has cartoon style graphics and a tongue in cheek feel. It’s more Cops ‘n’ Robbers appearance wise than Judge Judy.
Set in a courtroom, you will notice the animated judge to the left of the reels. The soundtrack is playful and you’ll hear ‘Guilty your honour’ and ‘Do you swear the tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth’ as you spin the reels.
On the reels you will see colourful A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Then you have handcuffs, safes, robbers, coppers and the judge. The judge is the paying symbol with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination awarding a payout of 0.2, 0.75, 1.25, 2.5 or 7.5 x your total bet.
There are also 2 siren wild symbols (one red and one blue) which substitute for all symbols above. It pays up to 7.5 x bet for 6 in combination. The blue siren wild appears on the main reels and top reel. The red siren wild only appears on the top reel and transforms all symbols below it into a wild (more details below).
Judge and Jury Megaways comes with 2 scatter symbols. You have the Judge and Jury scatter which activates the free spins whilst the prison cell scatter triggers the ID Parade feature.

Judge and Jury Megaways Mobile
Skywind create all their slots with HTML5 technology. Judge and Jury Megaways is no different. Despite the 90s feel, it can be played on mobile, laptop, PC and/or tablet devices. A desktop device is always preferred in my opinion due to all the moving parts of a Megaways title.
Judge and Jury Megaways Bonus Features
The Judge and Jury Megaways slot comes with 9 bonus features. With random Judge features, there are Column Wilds, cash prizes up to 5,000 x bet and free spins with a progressive multiplier and other little extras.
Cascades feature
Every winning combination create will trigger the Cascades feature. Winnings symbols disappear from the reels with existing symbols falling into the empty spaces. New symbols then fall from above to hopefully land you another winning combination. This continues as long as a new win is formed.
The Judge features
In the base game, the Judge can randomly bring down his gavel and trigger 2 Judge features:
- Royals are removed from the reels on a non-winning base game spin. The new symbols appearing will not contain royals.
- The Judge can randomly add between 3 and 6 blue siren wild symbols to the reels.
Column Wild feature
Look out for a red flashing light appearing in the horizontal row above reels 2 to 5. This triggers the Column Wild feature and transforms all of the symbols in the respective column to wilds.
Wanted Poster feature
On every spin, a different wanted poster appears to the right of the reels. When the poster that appears on the reels matches the poster to the right of the reels, the Wanted Poster feature comes into play.
A cash prize between 2 and 5,000 x your total bet will be awarded. After the poster symbol has collapsed, a new symbol cascades in with the possibility for a new winning combination. The Wanted Poster feature can trigger during the free spins but the progressive multiplier won’t be applied.
Free Games feature
The Free Games feature is triggered when 4 Judge and Jury scatters land anywhere on the reels. Awarding 10 free spins, each additional scatter will give you an extra 5 free spins, up to 20.
Like with other Megaways slots, every win sees the progressive multiplier increase by 1, before new symbols cascade in. Furthermore, 3 or 4 scatters on a free spin will give you 5 or 10 more free spins respectively, with no limits.
For players outside the UK, there is a Buy In feature. Costing 80 x your total bet, this will guarantee you enter the Free Games feature. You will be awarded 10, 15 or 20 free spins randomly.
Lastly, there is a Double Chance feature. This doubles your chances of triggering the free spins. However, it will cost an extra 5 coins per spin meaning the minimum bet rises from 20p to 25p and the max bet increases from £200 to £250.
I.D. Parade feature
Within the free spins, there is a chance of landing up to a maximum of 6 cell symbols on the reels on any free spin. This triggers the I.D. Parade feature. 3, 4, 5 or 6 cell symbols will award 1, 2, 3 or 4 picks on the I.D Parade respectively. Each suspect you pick gives you a prize:
| Free Spins | 3, 5 or 10 free spins |
| Progressive Multiplier | +3, 5 or 10 to the progressive multiplier |
| Cash Prizes | 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 or 100 x bet prizes won |
Judge and Jury Megaways Review Summary – fun + feature-filled Megaways offering
With a cartoon/fun feel, the Judge and Jury Megaways slot has comedic feel to it visually. This tongue in cheek game has lots going on when it comes to bonus features.
With the judge randomly triggered 2 features in the base game, I quite like the Column Wild feature where a whole column can become fully wild. I found the Wanted Poster feature to be the best with potential wins of up to 5,000 x your total bet. Expect much smaller wins most of the time though.
The biggest payouts will come in the Free Games feature due to the progressive multiplier. The I.D. Parade can boost your multiplier significantly as well as give you decent cash bonuses and extra free spins. However, the 10,000 x bet max win per spin/free spin isn’t exactly huge compared to its peers.
If it’s win potential you’re after, Apollo Pays Megaways and Pirate Pays Megaways (both from Big Time Gaming) offer 116,030 and 104,400 x bet top wins respectively.
