NetEnt, one of the Evolution-acquired gems in iGaming, continues to put life into its old titles with various updates. Twin Spin Xxxtreme and The Wish Master Megaways are one of the most recent examples. This month we’ll see them revive two more great classics: Jack and the Beanstalk Remastered with the Buy Feature and Wild Turkey Megaways which is set for another attempt to please fans of the wild cards. The slots will be available at NetEnt-supplied online casinos on 20 and 25 July, respectively.
Jack and the Beanstalk must be one of NetEnt’s most iconic slots ever released. It pioneered the Walking Wilds concept and had a hell of a bonus feature with wild symbols that developed as the free spins progressed. Well, the original game is still available until it's replaced with one that has better graphics and a feature buy option that will cost 45x a bet to activate. The Remastered slot will have the same max win of 7,181x bet but also more RTP options: 96.27%, 94.06%, 88.05%.
Moving onto the next exciting release, Wild Turkey Megaways follows the release of The Wish Master Megaways which came out a couple of days ago. Originating from their 10-year-old 20-line slot, this Aztec-themed slot is best known for its Free Spins feature that can last for more than 60 rounds and has Stacked Wilds, which were a hot feature back in the day. While still carrying the medium/high volatility rating, the Megaways version carries 117,649 ways to win and a max win of 7,200x.
The new game has a lot in common with its predecessor, including Wild symbols that also act as Scatter or Bonus symbols, and the possibility to stack up wild symbols for better win potential. Here are the game’s key features in a nutshell:
- Scatter Wild Symbols – can be found on reels 2-5 and if you manage to land at least three, you'll trigger the Free Spins feature with 10 rounds. Additionally, you'll get +2 spins for an entire reel of Scatter Wilds.
- Wild Turkey Feature – Releases Wild Turkey symbols on reels 2-5 in the main game and Free Spins. High-win symbols on the reels will transform into Wild Turkeys when this feature is activated. While the Wild Turkey symbol doesn't substitute for Scatter Wilds, it can substitute for other paying symbols, helping to create the longest winning combination in a single win way.
- Free Spins Bonus – During the bonus, a full stack of Wild symbols on a reel awards +2 spins. The Wild Turkey feature can randomly activate but not participate in initial or additional Free Spin activation.
Possible RTP options for Wild Turkey Megaways: 88.08%, 94.12%, 96.02%, 96.05% for the non-jackpot game, and 91.03%, 93.00% for the jackpot version, if there’s any.
