Jack and the Beanstalk 2

Jack and the Beanstalk 2 is a NetEnt slot that takes its eccentric business theme seriously without losing its sense of humor. The game pairs fixed paylines with Walking Wild Respins, Mystery Wilds, Bonus Spins, Golden Bean Coins, and an enhanced Super Bonus mode, all wrapped in colorful cartoon visuals.

Gameplay Features and Bonuses

Jack and the Beanstalk 2 uses a 5×5 grid with 25 fixed paylines. The RTP sits at 96.32%, and bets run from €0.20 to €50 per spin. The game has medium volatility, which places it between lower-risk play and more volatile slots. The maximum win reaches 20,000x the bet.

Wilds and Respins

Wild symbols: Wilds appear on reels 2 to 5 in stacks of 1 to 5 symbols. Each starts with a 3x multiplier and substitutes for regular symbols except Bonus and Super Bonus symbols. Multipliers from Wilds in the same win add together.

Walking Wild Respins: A Wild activates a Respin and shifts 1 reel to the left before each subsequent spin. New Wilds can appear at a higher level, up to 5 symbols tall. Respins continue until no Wild remains on the reels.

Mystery Wilds: This random base-game feature selects a Wild Level from 2 to 5 before the initial spin, after which Wilds of that level may appear.

Bonus Features

Bonus symbols: 3 collected Bonus symbols award 5 Bonus Spins. If 1 of the three is a Super Bonus symbol, the game awards 5 Super Bonus Spins instead.

Golden Bean Coins: 3 coins appear at the start of Bonus Spins, each with a 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x multiplier. Their values contribute to the feature payout.

Walking Rockets: Rockets trigger Respins and shift 1 reel to the left after each spin. A Rocket that lands on or passes over a Golden Bean Coin triples its multiplier.

Several special symbols can alter the Golden Bean Coins:

• Upgrade: Improves Rocket stack height at 3, 6, 9, and 12 collected symbols and awards 1 additional Bonus Spin at each milestone.
• Collector: Collects all Golden Bean values on the reels and becomes a coin worth their combined total.
• Sharer: Adds 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x to every Golden Bean Coin, then becomes a coin with that value.
• Spreader: Adds up to 8 Golden Bean Coins to empty adjacent positions and also becomes a coin.

Super Bonus Spins: Rockets start at their maximum five-symbol height, and one of the three initial Golden Bean Coins has a guaranteed 10x multiplier. Upgrade symbols do not appear.

Elevate Feature

The Elevate menu offers 4 options:

• Bonus Hunt: 1.5x bet for a 2x chance of a bonus feature.
• Bonus Hunt Extreme: 10x bet for a 20x chance.
• Bonus Spins: 75x bet for direct access to the standard feature.
• Super Bonus Spins: 250x bet for direct access to the enhanced feature.

Design and Soundtrack

The cartoon artwork puts the action inside a quirky corporate office, where the goat sits beside the reels amid bookshelves, paperwork, a globe, and other business-themed props. The symbols continue the joke through beans, coffee mugs, laptops, rockets, satellites, and portraits of the goat and his human colleague.

Bonus Spins swap the chalkboard-style reels for a blue digital display and a more executive office backdrop, which gives the feature a distinct look. The soundtrack has a playful, upbeat tone that suits the comic business theme, supported by lively effects during wins and feature events.

Fans of the offbeat humor and feature-heavy play may also want to try Garden Gladiators by Stakelogic or Golden Goose Megaways by Big Time Gaming, two slots that pair colorful themes with bonus-focused gameplay.

The Bottom Line

Jack and the Beanstalk 2 has plenty of depth once its features take over. Walking Wild Respins and additive Wild multipliers strengthen the base game, but Bonus Spins offer the main attraction through Golden Bean Coins, Rockets, and several modifier symbols. Super Bonus Spins improve the setup further through five-symbol Rockets and a guaranteed 10x coin. The Elevate options also provide several routes to faster feature access. As a whole, the mechanics complement each other well without becoming overly difficult to follow.
