Jack and the beanstalk (Netent )

[KasinoKing]

I have to post this because in my experience it was extraordinary.
Last night I had all 9 keys triggered with 11 spins remaining then during those spins I had a re-trigger for 5 more. I don't have the pc video capture yet unfortunately but I did video it poorly on my mobile. I only got about x 400 stake from it though. I thought I was in for a super mega win

It's one of my favourites too - but there's one thing I have been thinking...
IF the distribution of wilds is the same in each section of the free-spins, then I would think the stacked wilds are actually a better bet than the expanding.
That's because stacked wilds have 5 possible reel position where 1 or more wild can "hit" - but the Harps only have 3.
Of course, Harps expand & make potentially bigger wins, but more stacked wilds hitting keep the feature going longer...

Mind you, all that is irrelevant anyway - it's not like we have a choice!

yeah, you'd think so but the reels are Gimped anyway.

I have seen and had some great hits from both the stacked wilds. Obviously the potential with the expanding wilds are higher because it is programmed that way,but the chances of getting a mega win from the stacked are much higher.
About 6 months ago I hit two mega wins from the harps within about a week. Since then all of my big-ish wins where based on the stacked hits predominately.
Still, when I get all nine keys with free spins remaining I always reach for a fag and turn the sound up

Ha ha. I have great earphones. I usually play with the sound down in a casino and my music on.
I did once go to kick the cat but it got wise and runs off,so now I jumped over the fence and kick my neighbours cat


Edit. No animal was harmed in the creation of this post or because of my gambling activities

Why oh why is it so impossible to get the bonus . I'm playing it over an hour and not a sign of it.
I really love the game . . I hate that the bonus is so infrequent it's literally like once in a blue moon!

Its impossible because the slot is created by NetBent-tertainment. These guys are geniuses at creating a new type of variance never seen before. They cram as many soul destroying blank spins into one batch then throw you 5 features in a row and all pay under 10x bet.

These guys are brilliant at what they do and did i mention good at making money QUICK!?

A little harsh but i still play it on occasion

I've played jack a fair few times.. As much as it frustrates me, again as I've mentioned before, its the perfect slot as the wins you can have could be absolutely brilliant with a pay table like it has. I have played on jack a few times and the fun didn't last to long and other times it's let me keep ticking over even a small withdraw here or there. But the chance is there IMO to hit a decent lump of cash.

To be fair all slots have a reported rtp and Netent seem to be as comparable as any other developer so I don't really get that?

I had a great hit last night on Jack so I will not call him a little shit now for at least a few days

Never to be repeated again - Im sure I hit a once im a million streak...

Well that depends mate... If you ever saw my stats for TwinSpin and CFTBL you would understand that statement. Its been said many times - NetEnt make their own variance - variance that ensures you hardly ever get ahead. Sure, we cant win all the time, but apart from DOA (Which is DEAD for me), I struggle to play anything else or get ahead. I dont think I will EVER see a turn on TwinSpin or CFTBL, my RTP will stay in the 50's for hundreds of thousands wagered.

In any event, RTP is not the issue - Its the pay tables that make that RTP. Im sure if you search you will find what i'm speaking of.... Or just ask Dunover

To be fair I do get a bit nervous about playing those two games with a limited deposit. But there are loads of games I avoid unless I have already built up a good balance.
Other than Jack I prefer medium variance games I guess.
Talking of variances. I have noticed that not all casino's agree on what game is low/medium/high variance?

Heheh Deposits were not an issue... the payouts were.... I could go on depositing and never get ahead. You say OK, leave it, then try another day and another.. and another... Disaster...

WRT Variance - Can you give an example?

I would need to cross reference to give you an example. I was in a casino ( can't recall which one yet without my first coffee,prune juice and devils on horseback for breakfast) that categorised their games by variance among other ways. I was surprised at what where deemed belonging to which category.. I will have to get back to you when I recall the casino.

I just had the worse bonus hunt ever on this slot over 1500 spins and 0 bonus and my deposit gone = tilt

 

[goatwack]

This game is in the Top 5 when it wants to go on bonus-less streaks. Maybe even worse than Bonanza even.

Strange really, given the bonus flatters to deceive 99% of the time

 

[floopyzicer]

I watched a few online streamers they seem to hit the bonus under 100 spins so i thought after 300 that it will give me the bonus than on my 500th spin i thought maybe it's time than on my 800th hundred spin my bankroll started hurting i thought what the hell it will at least give me the bonus whatever happens then on my 1100th spin i was furious and my bankroll was really hurting but i thought it will at least give me the bonus and ups i had 2 bucks left so i lowered my bet to 0.20 and i also lost the 2 bucks i had i turned off the client.
Learn from my mistakes stop playing if the bonus does not hit after a while and you still have a healthy balance.

Chasing this game is futile, I've learnt that myself a long time ago. Most games will relent at a certain point, but with this one it can go on forever. Even I've given up on it, a couple of hundred down, when it dawned on me it wasn't going to budge. Horrible when it's in this mood

Thats why u shoulndt start with slots like that

 

[Shivati]

Hmm, i have a diffrent experience whit this slot, bonus game hits regularly, atleast once each 100 spins, last time i played i got like 4 bonus games in 50 spins.But then again i rearly win anything on the bonus rounds, was lucky last time tough, 200 or something x bet in one bonus round.

 

[robby811]

What help very ofter after 10 Autoplay spins do some spin / stop spins fast....

same way thats also on DoA often gets 3 Scatters....

 

[GoldenGhoul]

Yeah I remember first playing this slot it was doing those bonus-less streaks to me constantly, to the point I was sure that's just how it always is, fortunately it got more loose as time went by. I usually give it up to 100 spins and get away if no feature, then again I usually do it with all the slots. It's defintiely one of the best Netent games for me but it really does have differing moods, doesn't it?

 

[robby811]

I did not play it much these days ,10years ago i played it quite often and got one time a Bonus nearly 350€ with min bet but that only happens if u get i till the Harpes which is hard as enough -.- and then you need them in a row think it was 3 in a row that one time....

But mostly its really disapoiting because u dont get till the harpes or spins are over and these shit

 

[hattrick]

Everyone in this forum seems to hate this game. So why do you play it?

 

[Kroffe]

The complaints are from 2018, maybe they love the game now.

 

[gonzo fonso]

JATB well its still very popular these days,one of the better netent slots to prove the test of time,even though they brought out halloween jack a few years ago its basically the same slot
