Generous Jack

Introducing perhaps one of the most unique online slots that have been released in quite some time. It's known as Generous Jack, and while it still operates in the same way as standard slots, there are a lot of different features and mechanics for players to learn. It may also come as no surprise to learn that the main character of this slot is named Jack. However, he is not human, but an animated golden figure! 

This slot was created by Push Gaming, a company that is known for testing the limits of various mechanics. In the past, their innovative approach to producing slots has led to some top-tier releases, including Fat Banker, Big Bamboo, and Jammin' Jars, all of which have offered something rather unique. 

There are only three different types of symbols in Generous Jack, one of which is blank icons. As the name suggests, these do nothing except block room on the reels. Next are the number symbols, shown as betting chips, that will display values from 0 to 9 if they drop into view. Should they appear on one of the active rows, the number will be multiplied by the bet size before being awarded to the player. 

However, if these land next to each other, they can create larger values. For example, if a two land directly next to a 7, the combined value will be 27x. Blank icons in between will stop this from happening, and in this instance, they will be added together as usual.

Finally, there is the Jack symbol. With each spin on this slot, only the bottom row will be in play. However, if a golden Jack symbol appears, it will be added to the collect meter on the left in a random position, before the next row is activated. This will also trigger a respin mechanic of sorts, with additional jack symbols having the same ability. If these icons keep appearing, different rows will progressively become unlocked.

The meter also has different numbers on it, which represents the potential number of spins in the main bonus, which will be touched on in the section below. While the respins occur, any number symbols will also be held in place. After this round has concluded, any potential winnings will be calculated before being awarded to the player. Finally, it's worth noting that if a Jack symbol appears on a newly unlocked row, it will not have the ability to activate another during the same respin.

As previously mentioned, unlocking portions of the meter can award free spins. If the first three segments become full, players will be awarded three free spins. From here, additional Jack symbols can award five, seven, and ten spins, respectively. This mode plays in a similar way to the base game. However, Jacks are removed from play. 

Only numbers and blank icons can appear on the board, with all rows being activated throughout each spin. Should players wish to buy this bonus directly, this is possible for 150x the stake size. If bought, a random number of spins will be awarded.

With a range of innovative mechanics, Generous Jack is a slot that can certainly keep players on their toes. It may sound relatively complicated, but many punters have found this slot easy to understand upon playing. Finally, the minimal theme and engaging sound effects add another layer of entertainment to this unique release!
