Jack’s Back Introduction
If you’re not familiar with the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, here’s a recap: Jack is a poor farmer living with his grandmother. When their last cow stops giving milk, Jack takes it to the market to sell. An old man offers him magic beans instead of money, and he takes the deal – only to be scolded by his grandmother. Later, he plants the beans and huge beanstalk grows.
At the top of the beanstalk is a giant’s castle. The wife of the giant allows Jack to stay but the giant hates humans. He can sense Jack’s presence, and attempts to capture him, but Jack gets away with a bag of coins. He returns twice more, and the wife allows him to take several more gifts.
It is quite an appropriate theme for a poker machine, since the story is concerned with acquiring riches. On the reels, the story is told, and players are providing with a sense of nostalgia as they wager.
Currently, we don’t offer this game as a free pokie, but you can play other great games based on this legendary fairytale like Jack’s Beanstalk and Jack and the Beanstalk. You can give all of these games a spin on mobile and desktop devices that run on Android and iOS platforms.
Expanding Symbols
Jack’s Back offers up expanding symbols, which award players the chance to earn bigger and better cash prizes. When a symbol expands, it takes up several slots on one reel, making it easier to hit winning combinations.
Free Spins
Players can also trigger a generous free spins round. Up to 25 free spins can be won, so players can spin the reels without wagering any of their own money. This is quite a popular bonus feature in poker machines, and players enjoy these rounds.
You can also find Jack’s Back as part of the Duelling Progressives series of IGT. It is quite a unique series, because the game’s progressive jackpots compete with one other. There are two mini jackpots, which are constantly climbing, and if the player hits the jackpot, then they win the higher of the two. The maxi jackpots are available during the free spins round, and the same principle applies: they are always competing, and the bigger jackpot pays.
Jack’s Back is a BlueChip Neo poker machine, which means it comes equipped in a state-of-the-art cabinet. It features an ergonomic design, so players feel comfortable while they wager, and a high-tech sound system. The cabinet is also fitted with a dual-core processor to ensure a smooth and fast gaming experience.
