Jumping Beans Introduction
Set in Mexico, RTG's Jumping Beans introduces the characters Mr and Mrs Bean. A sunny desert provides the backdrop, complete with cacti. Symbols on the reels include Mr and Mrs Bean themselves, as well as La Case de Bean, Bandido Bean, Maracas, Roses, a Guitar, Tacos and a brilliant smiling sun. Bonus features of a wild and a scatter ensure the game stays fun and interesting.
Three-Reel Pokies
Mr Bean is the wild symbol in this game and as such will help players gain more wins by substituting for basic symbols in a match. Wins featuring Mr Bean are always doubled. The auto-nudge feature will also be triggered by both the wild and the scatter. Mrs Bean is the scatter, so watch out for her presence on the reels too. In addition to these more common bonus features, there are also two progressive jackpots to look out for - a major and a minor.
Bonus Beans and Free Spins
If Mr Bean turns up on the reel following an auto-nudge, 10 free games will be triggered. Bonus Beans will also tally up over the course of the free spins - every time Mr Bean, Mrs Bean or Bandido Bean appears. There are six three-bean levels in this feature. As each level is filled, players will become eligible for a prize. At the end of the feature, the Bonus Bean multiplier will be applied - up to a huge 100x the base play wins!
Five free spins are also on offer. 0.05 credits is the lowest bet allowed per five lines. The highest is an impressive 25. All five of the paylines are fixed, but the bet range is still pretty decent, so this game is great for medium- and low-limit players.
Summary
Although not a classic three-reel pokie game, Jumping Beans manages to achieve the best of both worlds: classic enough to appeal to those who like the old-style games, yet with enough fun features to make it popular with players who prefer a more modern stance. The payouts are pretty decent, especially in free spins and when the Bean multiplier is applied.
One of the best things about this game is the number of different platforms it can be played on. As well as the standard desktop, it can also be downloaded for use on mobile or tablet, making it highly accessible. Sometimes the more simple a game is the better. This game achieves both simplicity and excitement with a less complicated interface combined with additional features. It's definitely one to try for all players, regardless of expertise and budget.
