Mystery Jack Slot Machine

Jack is a burden to the Wazdan brand ­ he always seems to be getting into lots of trouble, causing them and many players multiple issues as they try and track him down. In Mystery Jack the cheeky culprit has once again gone rogue, only this time he’s hijacked a train. He was only meant to be a prisoner aboard, but by a stroke of wicked luck he’s managed to break his way out and is now on a quest for gold.

The gold that Mystery Jack carries is of untold worth, as both a progressive jackpot and a mystery tile keeps users from discovering its true value until they unlock the goods. Will you be able to beat Jack to it and steal a win from under his nose? Place a bet on the 5 reels and 27 paylines to see if you’ve got what it takes to outsmart him. But be warned, the Wild West is Jack’s regular stomping ground, meaning he knows the terrain far better than you do.

Mystery Cart

So what exactly is the mystery load that is travelling alongside bad ol’ Jack? Well it’s a tile that pictures the thief in action, stealing away the riches from inside.

Three of the tiles can appear anywhere along the reels, triggering an exclusive bonus when that happens. Your prizes will be decided at random, and will be chosen from a diverse range of between x1 to x500 of your initial bet. What this means is that you can walk away 500 credits richer than when you started, and that’s assuming you bet with the lowest pay-in!

Runaway Wagon

The spins of Mystery Jack can get away from you should you locate three or more of the free spins symbols; just like the mystery tile, they have Jack at the heart of all the chaos, his toothy grinning smugly annoying. Just as the other bonus has an exact prize amount to give you, so too does this one, only this time round players get 9 extra rounds as opposed to a multiplier.

In truth 9 rounds isn’t a lot, but with the chance of the mystery symbol and wild showing up, they soon become more than adequate enough to land several features all in one. Though the likelihood of this happening is quite small, as Mystery Jack has a medium volatility, just like all the Wazdan games.

While we’re on the subject, we might as well look at the wild; in this slot machine it’s Jack himself, his face covered by his red bandana, the mark of his cruel intent. His face may be masked, but we’d know that ginger blaze of hair anywhere, and could spot it from 100 paces away. Here the wild does nothing other than removing all expect the special tiles, which is most understandable considering Wazdan have already provided more than enough bonuses to be getting on with.

Pay up or Ship out

You’re going to have to pay a small bet between 0.10 and 100 credits if you’re to get anywhere near to the three special features, and so it’s time you stopped dithering about and headed over to the plus and minus buttons. This is great for if you’re looking to place a middling sum of cash, but if you’re going for the max amount you might as well utilise the Max Bet option located further along the panel.

Autoplay won’t light up for demo users, but those who play for real will be able to turn it on and off whenever they want. There doesn’t seem to be a set number of waves you need to select, so you can keep the hands free going until it suits you. As any slot machine can start to wane when the wins don’t come in, this option becomes vital to continued and lasting enjoyment – thank goodness Wazdan included it!

Not So Mysterious Now

When you finally rope Jack in and put him back behind bars where he belongs, the mystery of Mystery Jack is gone, meaning the enjoyment level immediately goes down. This is a title that can become old very fast, and so it’s unlikely you’ll repeatedly play it. Instead, it’s more likely you’ll pull it out from the depths of your internet history when you need to make a quick buck or two.
