There’s nothing particularly flashy about the design of Jackaroo Jack. The visuals are quite crudely drawn. The reels are set against a canyon backdrop. There you’ll find lower value K to 9 royal values as well as birds, windmills and wild horses.
The bull is the best of the standard symbols, offering awards of up to 5 times your stake if you land 5 on adjoining reels. Substituting for everything bar the bonus, the cattle skull is the wild. There are 2 extras to look out for in Jackaroo Jack.
2nd Chance Respin feature - don’t despair if you land a wild and it doesn’t result in a winner. Instead you’ll be awarded a 2nd Chance Respin. The wild expands to fill the whole of the reel and a respin follows, hopefully creating a new winning combination.
Free Games feature - land 3, 4 or 5 of Jack the rancher and you’ll pocket a payout of 1.25, 2.5 or 7.5 times your stake. Land 6 Bonus symbols and/or wilds and you’ll activate the Free Games feature. You’ll then have the pick of 5 free spin / wild multiplier combinations:
- 6 free spins with 5x and 8x wild multipliers
- 10 free spins with 4x and 6x wild multipliers
- 12 free spins with 3x and 4x wild multipliers
- 15 free spins with 2x and 4x wild multipliers
- 20 free spins with 2x and 2x wild multipliers
The wild multipliers appear on reels 2 and 4 only during the feature. Land wild multipliers on reels 2 and 4 on the same free spin and they are combined. For example, if you landed the 4x wild multiplier on reel 2 and the 6x wild multiplier on reel 4 the payout would rocket by 24x. A 5x and 8x wild multiplier would result in a 40x multiplier! If you’re playing a high stakes, some of the multipliers are capped so check the paytable before you play.
Aussie developer Lightning Box Games has kept things pretty simple here, both in the way Jackaroo Jack looks and plays. The visuals are pretty ordinary but the country backing track has a rolling charm. The base game action is steady enough.
It’s the extras that deliver all the potential thrills here, especially the Free Games feature where the wild multipliers can have a big impact. In the Free Games feature, the potential 40x multiplier can result in payouts of 768,000 times your total stake!
If you’re after a straightforward slot game with a hint of the Australian outback then join Jackaroo Jack on this dusty adventure. If you like the thought of picking your own free spins and multiplier option, Eastern Emeralds by Quickspin is worth looking into.
