Timber Jack Introduction
Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a logger? It’s a very dangerous world out there, and logging is definitely high up on the list of risky occupations. Thankfully, there are other, less dangerous ways to take a peek into how it all works. No safety gear and certainly no actual chainsaws required here!
This neat little game, Timber Jack, which was developed by BBI, is a five-reel free online pokies game that promises all the thrills of the forest from the comfort and warmth of your own home. With some rather nice rewards in store for those who win big on the reels, this one is certainly a game to try.
Gameplay and Layout
As you might expect from the name of the game, Timber Jack has a wooden theme. Trees and logs are in abundance, and the reels are framed with a rather lovely wooden border. It’s a beautiful day in the land of logging, and a clear blue sky can be seen in the background, all ready to start spinning those reels. The basic symbols in this game are a mix of classic and themed icons.
The playing card symbols - A, K, Q and J - are as expected, and players will need to line up a minimum of three of these to win. Next are the themed icons of the maple leaf, the woodcutter, the cabin, the chainsaw and the hatchet. Again, players will want to land three, four or five of these to reap the rewards, and we are talking about much more than simply some good firewood!
Timber Jack features some really good graphics and a great little soundtrack, complete with sound effects. A series of roars and thuds will accompany the reels as they spin. In addition to the basic game symbols ,there are a couple of others players should look out for. These are the beaver, which is the wild, and the blade, which is the games scatter icon.
As with other pokies, the wild will substitute all other basic game symbols to help the player create more winning combinations. If more than one beaver graces the reels with its company, it’s time to celebrate. Three, four or even five of these will make for some serious money in the prize fund. If the scatter symbol appears on the reels three or more times, it’s time to celebrate with some free spins.
There are 5, 10 or 15 up for grabs. Land a wild during the free spin mode and things will really get exciting. A beaver on reels 2, 3 or 4 will offer a 2x, 3x, 4x or 8x multiplier, which are all pretty nice returns!
Summary
While this is not one of the most complex or elaborate games out there, Timber Jack is certainly one of the most fun. Plenty of small wins will make their way into the prize fund and when it pays out big, it really is worthwhile.
