Jackpot Jewels Slot Review

When it comes to back-to-basics slots, there is certainly no lack of such online slots. Jackpot Jewels slot uses this approach but also incorporates more complex features. Barcrest has developed the game as a jewel-themed slot with a “Hi Roller” option which lets you play higher bets, but also gets you higher prizes.

The slot features a reel set of seven reels and 50 paylines with a bet per spin ranging between £0.02-£500.00. The game is accompanied by two bonus features which include a free-spins round and the abovementioned Hi Roller feature. It comes with a variable Jackpot Jewels RTP between 94.00%-96.50%.

Our Jackpot Jewels Overview

As stated in the opening section, Jackpot Jewels from Barcrest is themed on the popular jewels theme which can be found all over the internet. It is played across a seven-reel, 50-payline set with a couple of bonus features including free spins and a Hi Roller feature.

The design of the game is pretty simple with the reel set placed inside a thin yellow frame with the paylines on the sides. The game’s logo is on the top of the reel set which is set against a background of purple and black. The bottom of the screen is where you can find all buttons.

The symbols on the reels of Jackpot Jewels slots can be divided into two groups. The low-value symbols consist of standard playing card symbols including 10, J, Q, K and A. The high-value symbols are five on-theme symbols representing various jewels in different colour. Both low-value and high-value symbols on the reels award payouts for combinations of three, four, five, six and seven matching symbols.

The Jackpot Jewel is both the game’s wild symbol and scatter symbol, so it substitutes for all other symbols and it activates the game’s additional bonus features.

How To Play Jackpot Jewels Slot

Jackpot Jewels slot is a very straightforward and easy-to-play game since all buttons are placed at the bottom of the screen.

Before spinning the reel set of Jackpot Jewels, you need to set your total stake for the spin. This is done by setting the variables for the active paylines and for the stake per spin.

By pressing the “+” and “-” arrows on the left of the “LINES” box, you can set the number of active paylines for the spin. As stated in the sections above, you can activate anywhere between one and 50 paylines to play your bet across.

The second variable that you need to set is your stake for the spin. In similar manner, by pressing the “+” and “-” arrows on the left of the “STAKE” box, you can set your stake for the spin. When you combine the two variables, you get the bet per spin that ranges between £0.02-£500.00.

Once you have selected your bet for the spins, you can spin the reel set of Jackpot Jewels slots by pressing the green ‘SPIN’ button in the bottom centre of the screen.

If you are not too keen on pressing ‘Spin’ after each spin, you can always go for the autoplay feature the game offers. By pressing the red “AUTOPLAY” button in the bottom right corner of the screen, you can select a certain number of rounds to be played automatically. Once you make your selection, press the ‘START’ button and the reels start spinning. You can stop the AUTOPLAY mode at any given time by pressing the “Stop” button.

How To Win Jackpot Jewels Slots

As stated in the text above, payouts in Jackpot Jewels slot are awarded for landing symbol combinations on an active payline. Both low-value symbols and high-value symbols award payouts for combinations of three, four, five, six and seven matching symbols on an active payline.

Jackpot Jewels Bonus Features

Jackpot Jewels includes a couple of bonus features that not just make the gameplay more interesting, but also get players great rewards. These bonus features include the Free Spins round and the Hi Roller option.

Jackpot Jewels Free Spins

The first of the Jackpot Jewels bonus features is the free spins round. The round is triggered by landing at least three of the Jackpot Jewel symbols anywhere on reels number two, four and six. You will receive ten free spins on a reel set that contains only the five high-value gem symbols.

Each gem has its respective multiplier value which is increased by 1x each time you land a win formed with those gems.

The game’s wild symbol is also active during the round, so it is possible to get even more free spins. The free spins round can be retriggered three more times, which is three more chances of landing a great win!

Hi Roller Option

The Hi Roller option is where it gets serious in Jackpot Jewel slot. By pressing the “Hi Roller” button below the reels, you get the chance to play five enhanced spins for a larger wager. What this means is that when you play with the Hi Roller option, any Jackpot Jewels symbol that lands will remain frozen for the remainder of the five spins giving you even more chances for a great payout.

The great thing is that the Free Spins round can also be triggered with the Hi Roller option.
