Judge and Jury Megaways Review

We are privileged to be both ‘“judge and jury” for all the slots we review here at SlotCatalog, and Judge and Jury Megaways is a highly original installment in the dynamic reels genre from Skywind Group. We’ve seen cops & robbers slots before, of course, but seldom a game that takes you into the actual courtroom. The Judge provides both antics and action commentary, as well as a couple of random modifiers.

You can land solid prizes up to 5,000x your stake at any time via the Wanted Poster feature, and this adds a tension to the gameplay that we quite enjoyed. The big highlight is the bonus round, which is usually the case, and the unlimited progressive multiplier is probably your best shot at cracking the 10,000x potential. An ID Parade feature may help you out in that regard, enhancing the bonus round in different ways.

Judge and Jury Megaways Slot Features

The Double Chance ante bet can be turned on/off between base game spins, and you pay 25 % more per spin when it’s turned on. This doubles your bonus round chance however, so it’s definitely something to consider. The premium symbols pay between 1.5 and 7.5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and all winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic.

New and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps, and the process repeats as long as you keep winning.

You get a Blue and a Red Siren Wild that steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The Red Wild appears on the top sliding reel only, and it expands downwards to cover the full reel below when it does. The Blue Wild appears on the regular reel to substitute for symbols like wilds usually do.

The Judge (seen on the left) provides more than antics and action commentary, as he can also unleash 2 unique modifiers at random times in the base game. He can order all royal symbols removed on random non-winning spins, which gives you a cascade with only premium symbols. He can also add 3 to 6 wilds to random positions at random times.

The Wanted Poster seen on the right-hand side of the grid changes to a new wanted criminal per spin.

If a matching symbol lands on the reels, you can win cash prizes of 2x, 5x, 10x, 100x or 5,000x your stake. The symbol is then removed, triggering a cascade, but poster symbol prizes are not affected by the bonus round multiplier.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 4 game logo scatters anywhere in view, and you get 10 free spins with +5 added on top of that for each extra triggering scatter above the minimum of 4 (up to 20 FS, at best). The progressive bonus round multiplier increases by +1 per cascading win, and you win +5 or +10 extra spins when 3 or 4 scatters land during the feature, respectively.

The ID Parade feature can trigger from within the bonus round only, and you need to land 3+ prison cell symbols in the same cascading sequence to get it. You get 1, 2, 3 or 4 picks in the feature when 3, 4, 5 or 6 prison cell symbols land, and there are 4 suspects to pick from. You can win +3, +5 or +10 extra spins, +3, +5 or +10 added to the multiplier, or cash prizes of 5 to 100 x your stake from the ID Parade feature.

Finally, players living in an eligible jurisdiction can take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. This option is not available in the UK for sure, and it will set you back 80x your stake per purchase. You are then guaranteed to win 10, 15 or 20 free spins on the spin that follows.

You get to see a random Judge modifier in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:07 into the 3:16-minute highlights video. We got “sentenced” to 10 free spins from the 4 scatters we landed, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

After some less-than-successful oriental-themed Megaways installments, it’s nice to see Skywind Group back in top form with this release.

Judge and Jury Megaways is highly entertaining, not least due to the antics and action commentary from the arch-British and stern-looking judge. We suspect he’s getting senile under the curly wig though, with his sudden anger outburst followed by laughter for no apparent reason.

Anyway, it’s all good fun, and especially the wild feature he triggers can be quite useful. The Wanted Poster feature adds tension, as up to 5,000x prizes can come from any given spin, and the ID Parade in the bonus round certainly livens up the feature if you’re lucky enough to trigger it. The pace of the game is excellent with the turbo switched on, and we’ve no complaints about the 10,000x potential either. This is a refreshing Megaways installment well worth checking out.

Pros

• Antics & action commentary from the Judge
• 2 randomly triggered Judge modifiers
• Wanted Poster prizes up to 5,000x
• FS w/ unlimited progressive win multiplier
• ID Parade pick game within bonus round
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Somewhat dated visual style
