Megaways Jack

Megaways Jack Review

Iron Dog's Megaways Jack is a follow-up to their earlier Megaways title. While some features carry over, it brings enough originality to stand on its own. This game offers a volatile experience with up to 117,649 ways to win, featuring 2 to 7 symbols on each of the 6 reels. The goal is to achieve consecutive tumbling wins to activate the bonus round.

Magical beans and a golden harp aid in this endeavor. The bonus round features an unlimited progressive win multiplier. The max win potential is 25,000x your stake, limited by a max bet of £20 per stake. It's a solid second attempt.

What symbols are there?

Jack is the highest-value symbol, followed by the giant. Standard royal symbols of lower value are also included. You need between 3 and 6 matching symbols on a payline to win. Here is the paytable for Megaways Jack:

• Jack - Pays 25x for 6 in a combo
• Giant - Pays 7.5x for 6 in a combo
• Mum - Pays 5x for 6 in a combo
• Golden goose - Pays 2x for 6 in a combo
• Cow - Pays 2x for 6 in a combo
• Royal symbols - Pay between 2x and 0.6x for 6 in a combo

What are the bonus features?

The bonus features in Megaways Jack are plentiful. The tumbling reels feature removes winning symbols, replacing them with new ones until a non-winning cascade occurs.

A beanstalk on the right climbs with each tumbling win. Magic beans randomly add golden leaves to the bonus meter.

The magical golden harp randomly grants one of these bonus features:

• Up to 4 wilds added randomly to the reels
• 3 extra golden leaves on the beanstalk
• Beanstalk level frozen and 1 free respin given
• Up to a 5x multiplier boost

Free spins in Megaways Jack

The free spins bonus round activates when all 8 leaves on the beanstalk turn golden. Turning more than 8 leaves improves your potential for big wins. Here’s the breakdown:

• 8 golden leaves gives you 8 free spins.
• 9 golden leaves gives you 9 free spins.
• 10 golden leaves gives you 10 spins with a 2x multiplier.
• 11 golden leaves gives you 11 spins with a 2x multiplier.
• 12 golden leaves gives you 12 spins with a 3x multiplier.
• 13 golden leaves gives you 12 spins with a 3x multiplier with increased chance of landing the golden harp symbol.

An unlimited progressive win multiplier starts at the golden leaf level you've achieved and increases by 1 with each win/tumble. A reel with 7 symbols will remain at 7 symbols and add 1 point to the multiplier.

4 consecutive tumble wins award 2 extra free spins, and locking a reel on the last free spin grants 1 extra spin. Harp rewards now include a multiplier boost up to 3x, up to 4 extra free spins, or up to 4 added wilds.

Buying the free spins feature is an option in some areas with the following possibilities:

• 6 spins for 40x your stake
• 8 spins for 70x your stake
• 9 spins for 90x your stake
• 10 spins with 2x multiplier for 110x your stake
• 11 spins with 2x multiplier for 150x your stake
• 12 spins with 3x multiplier for 200x your stake
• 12 spins with 3x multiplier and more harp events for 240x your stake

How to play

Each developer has its game interface. The hamburger menu in the left corner takes you to the game settings, where you can toggle sound effects, background music, and Fast Play. You can also remove the intro screen and use the spacebar to spin.

Click the ? icon at the bottom left to find the paytable and game rules. Click the trophy icon to see the paytable, which isn't dynamic. Divide the symbol values by 20 (the minimum total coin bet) to get wins per total stake. There's also information on how the bonus features work.

Finally, choose your bet level (20p to £20) and display values in coins or cash. Autoplay settings include 5 to 999 auto spins and options to stop when triggering the bonus or reaching win/loss limits.

The 200 Spins Megaways Jack Experience

We tested this game with a £1 spin. Fast play was enabled, and we used autoplay for 99 spins.

The gameplay feels "oddly satisfying." Turning 8 leaves golden seems impossible. This might encourage players to buy the feature (conveniently placed above the beanstalk).

Our first 99 spins were uneventful. Some smaller wins happened, and the harp lady offered wilds and a multiplier. Nothing significant happened until our final 99 spins.

We turned 9 leaves golden and got 9 free spins with a 1x multiplier. The bonus round was disappointing, winning 17.5x with a max 5x multiplier.

We bought the 12 spins, 3x multiplier option. We reached a 13x multiplier and won 98.5x (paid 240x). Not a lucky session.

Review Summary

Megaways Jack is similar to the other Megaways title. Some features are borrowed, and the volatility remains high. However, the max win potential of 25,000x is lower.

Pros	Cons
4 random golden harp features	Very high volatility
Free spins with unlimited progressive multiplier	Requires patience and a cool head
Win up to 25,000x your stake

It's natural to start with the similar Megaways title from Iron Dog. This game features multiplying multiplier wilds, locked 7-symbol reels, and an unlimited progressive multiplier in the bonus round.

Jack and the Beanstalk might not be a Megaways title, but it's legendary. Climbing the beanstalk in the bonus round and looting the two-headed giant is the highlight.

Wilds and the Beanstalk isn't based on Jack's adventure. There's an innovative bonus map with wild patterns. The bonus round includes sticky wilds and treasure chests.
