Jumbo Jellies Slot Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Jumbo Jellies Review

We've seen numerous candy-themed slots with the most prominent being Sweet Bonanza, but Jumbo Jellies from developer Bang Bang Games is surely an odd duck in the world of candy games, in a nice way of course. 

Jumbo Jellies - Slot Outlook

It's some kind of sweets universe the Jumbo Jellies takes us to, where everything is made up of jellies, lollipops, and cotton candy. A heaven for those with a sweet tooth indeed. Anyway, the candy background image is quite ordinary within the niche, and what brings a change is the innovative Jumbo Row Pops reel mechanic that transforms the grid on each subsequent spin. By default, you start at a 6x3 layout producing 20 ways to play, but you can end up playing on a 3x3 reel setup with 40 winlines during the feature mode.

Players drop in by setting bets from $0.2 to $100 per spin, which should appeal to both high-rollers and less risky gamblers. Although Jumbo Jellies isn't designed for everyone, it's powered by a medium-high volatile math model that many can handle. The RTP though is lower than average at 95.5%, yet wins should occur fairly often. According to a hit rate of 30.84%, that will be roughly in 1 out of 3 spins.

Speaking of wins, 5,833x the stake is what you can hope for in Jumbo Jellies, which is fairly decent given the risk involved.

The paytable in the Jumbo Jellies slot, true to its name, consists of all sorts of jelly candies and includes 9 regular symbols. On the lower side, we see jellies in the form of classic card suits, and mid-value symbols include in ascending order coke bottles, cherries, and bears, while the premium lot includes crocodiles and tutti frutti straps. All symbols pay for three-of-a-kind and more, and six-of-a-kind regular symbol wins are worth from 0.5x to 4x your bet. Finally, there's a Wild symbol included that substitutes for any other regular symbols to help you achieve payouts, and it's worth 7.5x for five on a line.

Jumbo Jellies - Gameplay and Features

Central to the gameplay of Jumbo Jellies is the Jumbo Row Pops mechanic, and we'll tell you briefly what's what here. The 6x3 reels are divided into 9 segments, each containing two symbol positions.

If there's a win and one of the winning reel segments contains a matching pair of symbols, then the Jumbo Row Pop is triggered. All symbols in that row will merge into large Jumbo symbols, and the row will now contain three symbols instead of six. Every time a row goes Jumbo, more winlines are added to the reels:

• 0 Jumbo Rows - 20 lines.
• 1 Jumbo Rows - 25 lines.
• 2 Jumbo Rows - 35 lines.
• 3 Jumbo Rows - 40 lines.

Whenever you activate the Jumbo Row Pop, you get a Win Streak Respins feature on top. The triggering symbols turn into colossal Jumbo Wilds, and the reels spin again. Matching symbol pairs on non-Jumbo rows will trigger more Jumbo Row Pops, and the Respins will continue for as long as you keep landing wins. Once all rows turn Jumbo, a progressive Multiplier will come into play, growing by +1 with each subsequent win, no limits. Jumbo reels reset back to normal between the spins.

Jumbo Jellies Slot - Scatter GameLook out for chocolate candy Scatter symbols that can land anywhere on the reels during the base game. Landing 3 or more in view awards the Free Spins feature - 2 spins per each Scatter.

Before the feature starts, players can scoop additional free games in the Scatter Game. The reels will change to a 3x3 layout with triggering symbols locked in place, and players will get a round of Hold and Win-style Respins. Each additional Scatter symbol will add +2 spins to the total counter and stick to the reels, while empty positions will respin. The mini-game ends when no new bonus symbols landed or the entire reels are filled with Scatters. During the Free Spins, all wins trigger Win Streak Respins, and Jumbo rows don't reset between the spins.

Players outside of the UK can access the free games instantly via the Buy Bonus for the cost of 75x your current bet.

Jumbo Jellies - Slot Verdict

While the theme choice hasn't been Bang Bang Games' strong suit, the young and ambitious studio under the wings of Yggdrasil has already proven to be way ahead of many when it comes to the gameplay aspect. With its creative reel mechanic and engaging features, Jumbo Jellies is surely a decent addition to the genre and falls straight into the big leagues.

That said, the design team has still nailed the visuals making Jumbo Jellies extremely pleasing to the eye, while the gameplay is cool as always. All up, it's an enjoyable slot, leaning towards unmissable for those keen on sweets and candies.
