Lucky Beans Slot Machine
Spin the reels of this slot machine by WGS, and you might just see your wins grow high into the sky. Lucky Beans is a new game which is loosely based on the classic English fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk.
The 5-reel, 30-payline video slot is optimised for mobile devices, giving punters the chance to experience the age-old narrative and be in with a chance to win no matter where they go. That means that they will never be more than a few taps away from some exciting bonus gameplay, including a special bean bonus game, instant cash prizes, a climbing wild beanstalk and a round of free spins.
Classic Tale of Rags to Riches
In the canon of English folklore, there are few tales quite as popular and well-loved as Jack and the Beanstalk. The fairytale is so well known that it has already been the subject of many a slot machine, giving punters around the world to re-live the story of the adventurous boy who climbed the magic beanstalk to the Giant's castle. Naturally, Jack plays a leading role on the reels, acting as a wild symbol that will replace other icons to make prize-winning formations where no win would otherwise be.
Other characters and props in Lucky Beans from the original fairy tale include the cow which Jack walked to market, a treasure chest, a goose that lays golden eggs, the gruesome giant and, of course, the magic beans that made the whole thing happen in the first place.
Childhood Charm
This slot machine by WGS keeps all of the childhood charm of the story by presenting the reels and the icons in two-dimensional cartoon format. This does mean, however, that the reels appear a little bit primitive when compared to other games with a similar theme, such as NetEnt's Jack and the Beanstalk video slot. Nevertheless, the designers have done a good job to use every inch of the game screen, incorporating the beanstalk's vines to frame the individual reels.
Climb to the Top with a Jackpot
Spinners of this slot machine don't need to sell their worldly possessions for some magic beans in order to boost their riches. All they need to do is place a choose to play with 1 to 30 paylines, select their bets on each active line (from 0.01 to 50.00 credits) and then spin the reels. Should the right combination of images fall onto the active paylines, players will be rewarded with a line bet multiplier prize from the pay table below:
Bean Bonus
This fairy tale-themed slot machine wouldn't be much of a magical experience if it didn't throw some special bonus gameplay features into the mix. Luckily, punters of Lucky Beans will be treated to a wide range of extra ways to find a winner:
- Lucky Bean bonus round: Every time that the lucky beans icon appears on the reel, a single point will be added to the tally in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Once this tally hits the 200 mark, a bonus game will be activated. This side game has three levels in which players must find a prize by choosing from six doors, treasures and cauldrons on each round.
- Instant prizes: each spin of this slot machine has the potential to award prizes, even when players don't strike and winning combinations. This will come in the form of an instant cash prize courtesy of a cheeky little leprechaun character or a random multiplier awarded by the giant's wife.
- Free spins: find two harp scatter symbols on reels 2 and 4 and you will be given the chance to rack up some extra wins in the free games bonus round. The amount of free spins awarded depends on the numbers that appear in the magic harp scatter icons.
- Wild Beanstalk: this feature is awarded at random after any normal or free spin round, presenting a vertically extended wild icon for an extra boost up to those big prizes.
Full of Beans
Lucky Beans may not be the most vividly designed fairytale themed slot machine out there, but it will certainly capture players' imaginations with its bounteous bonus elements. In fact, with the unique bean collector bonus triggering system, spinners are bound to be treated to a bonus boost sooner or later.
