With its fun Mexican-inspired theme, Jumping Beans looks like a party in a game right from the beginning. The slot is interesting to look at, and it isn’t set up like any standard slot game that we’ve tested before. It has just three reels, which made us think of a classic slot game, but it clearly has some odd bonus features associated with it as well with lots of jackpots listed and some interesting bean tables at the sides of the reel. We decided to put together a full review of this slot game just to uncover its mysteries. Find out what we learned during our time with the slot down below in our review overview.
An Auto Nudge
Mr. and Mrs. Bean are the two most valuable symbols in this slot game as the wild and the scatter. They also happen to be affected by a special Auto Nudge feature. If one or more of these symbols are just above or just below the reels the game will sometimes nudge them into position by moving the reels slightly. You’ll be amazed at how often this results in one of those valuable symbols showing up and triggering a prize payout for you. This was one of our favorite features of the slot, but just one of them.
Minor Wins
Jumping Beans isn’t one of those slot games that are set up to make just a few players rich. Instead, the game prefers to pay out many smaller prizes to lots of players. That means you won’t walk way with millions of dollars, but you could increase your bankroll a bit by playing the game. The best wins that you can expect to get while playing Jumping Beans is around 200 coins in a single spin, which is exciting, but not life-changing. If you like lots of frequent wins you will probably enjoy this slot, but it lacks the wow-factor of some ultra-high paying slots with huge progressive jackpots or stunning jackpots.
There are Jackpots
There are two random jackpot payouts in this slot game that can trigger at any time while you are playing. To trigger the payouts you just need a bit of luck and you have to spin the reels. This gives you a little something extra to look forward to as you spin. Turn those reels and hope for the best and even if you miss the winning symbol combination you were going for you can still come away with a sizeable payout thanks to this special jackpot feature.
Take Advantage of Free Spins to Win More
Getting three of the Mrs. Bean symbols will bring you to the free spin bonus round. During this round you get 10 free spins where you have a chance to build up some decent prize payouts. The odds of winning remain the same during this bonus, but the special bean feature becomes active during the round. Getting Mr. Bean, Mrs. Bean or the Bandido Bean on the reels during this special round will increase your overall bean tally amount. Get your tally up to the highest amount possible and you will unlock a special additional prize payout at the end of the round. This added prize is worth between 5x and 100x your line wager depending on the number of beans that you have built up at the finish of your 10 free spins.
Jumping Beans is a fun little slot game with some interesting features that make us want to go back and play again. It’s not a slot with huge prize payouts, but a lucky player could still walk away with far more than they start with by activating the free spin bonus round or getting a few of the top prize payouts. We like the bean tally feature and recommend gamblers give this slot a try at least once. It’s simple but fun to play all the same.
