Leap Your Way to Wins With Spring Heeled Jack Slot
Spring Heeled Jack is an urban legend from the Victorian era. The man or creature, reports are not certain which, apparently would frighten people with demonic features and red eyes and then leap away jumping from rooftop to rooftop. It’s a weird one, and it’s even weirder that Relax chose this story to base a slot on, but they did.
So, let’s kick off a weekend of Halloween celebrations with Spring Heeled Jack slot from Relax Gaming.
Spring your way to wins
If we’re going to talk about Spring Heeled Jack slot’s gameplay, we need to get something out the way first. The slot’s spin feature is deathly slow, and it really did rather annoy me. Additionally, the fast play feature is buried in the settings menu with the slot not offering a quick set option close to the spin button, which has become all but standard in modern slots. I know I’m being a little picky, but it just appears that Relax has not taken its users into account with this user interface.
One of the most prominent bonus features of Spring Heeled Jack slot is the symbol multipliers. In the base game, these multipliers will range from 2x to 5x. During free spins, the highest symbol multiplier will increase to 10x.
All winning combinations including a symbol multiplier are multiplied by those multipliers – try saying that three times fast. Additionally, multiple multipliers in the same winning combination are multiplied. Now that your tongue is duly twisted, let’s move on to mystery symbols.
Mystery symbols can appear in both the base game and during free spins. Each mystery symbol is stacked three symbols high. Once it lands on a reel it will transform to be an identical copy of the reel preceding it. In the base game, the symbol multiplier will not be copied. However, during free spins, it will be. What really makes this symbol special is that it will also copy scatter symbols, a rarity with this kind of feature.
If you’re looking to hunt down big wins on the gloomy streets, you’ll need to spin until you find three or more scatter symbols to unlock between 10 and 15 free spins. If you’re not keen on waiting around on the streets at night, you can also select to purchase a round of free spins.
Is Spring Heeled Jack slot razor sharp or blunt as a teaspoon?
I am not sure what I was expecting from Spring Heeled Jack slot but I was generally pleasantly surprised. Despite the peculiarity of the source material, it’s a really cool spooky slot for a weekend of Halloween celebrations. The bonus features are interesting and plentiful, the graphics are impressive, and the 15,587x max multiplier means that you can bet at the €0.10 minimum and still stand to grab some big wins.
It’s not without its faults, though. The slow spin action is frustrating, and the high volatility means that you’ll be watching a lot of those spins between wins. The 96.01% RTP does slightly make up for the shortcomings but only slightly.
If you’re looking for a few other hot new slots for a Halloween weekend filled with spooky slots, I recommend giving Florageddon! Duomax, Hallowin, and Seance: Mysterious Attic a try.
