Wild Jack slot

Theme and graphics

When I saw the title of this slot, Wild Jack, I had the impression it would be about playing cards and that the wild symbol would be the Jack. It’s not about that at all, though. The game tries merging two themes together – one of fruits, which appear as its base symbols, and the other of a bull and the farmer. Supposedly, one of those two is the titular character. The symbols are designed with a classic look to them, which is quite a nice experience. Classic games so often get left behind in favour of newer video slots.

The only dedication to the other part of the theme is a picture of the farmer and of the bull in the background. Otherwise, you’ll see a cactus in the top-left corner and some other foliage in the top-right. Wild Jack brings even more of the retro experience with its arcade soundtrack. I could just imagine myself in the casino pressing the flashing buttons to make the reels of the slot spin while this music played out. It’s a nice enough touch, and it seems as though the farmer and the bull have built up a crowd of people as it plays out over the talking of an audience.

Gameplay and features

There are three reels to spin in this game, which adds to the traditional nature of it. Wild Jack is a release that will likely hold appeal for newcomers to the slot gaming scene, considering how easy it is to follow. When you spin the reels, you can win on 27 paylines. I love this fact because most classic online slots don’t have more than 5 or 10 lines.

The paylines can be viewed on the slot’s paytable, which is available via the ‘?’ button. It takes three identical symbols to form a win in the game, and these need to appear on one or more of the active paylines. Simple, right?

You’ll need to set a proper bet, with a huge range being present along the bottom of Wild Jack. You can choose wagers between €0.20 and €10,000 per spin. Symbols included in the game are primarily fruit-themed, though there is also a bell, a red 7, a sheriff’s badge, a BAR and the bull.

It’s fun when the wild symbol springs into action in the slot machine. It is the farmer or, if the soundtrack is anything to go by, the bullfighter who represents this one. Wilds can land on any of the three reels, and if it does, it will substitute for all other basic symbols, helping you to create wins.

Something else to consider about Wild Jack is that if you cover all positions on the reels with one of the same symbols, you receive a triple payout.

My experience playing Wild Jack by Wazdan

I must admit, I do have certain reservations about this online slot release. In some areas, it’s wonderful. Landing a wild symbol or triggering a triple payout with a wall cover, for example. In other areas, it’s quite limited. Who hasn’t played a slot game featuring fruit symbols? Plus, there is very little in the game that can be considered a special feature.

While I like what Wazdan may have tried to do in Wild Jack, the high volatility does pose a little bit of a problem. Wins don’t hit all that frequently, so I spent a fair bit of time sitting around waiting for something to happen. In my experience, slot gamers want to see the reels spin and enjoy the theme but also win on a regular enough basis, too.

Bonus rounds and free spins

I’ve mentioned the wild symbol and the triple payout for a wall of identical symbols. Both of those are decent additions to the Wild Jack slot game. The only other inclusion is the slot’s gamble round.

You need to create a win before you can play this feature. From it, you can double your winnings several times over just by correctly guessing the colour of the next playing card. Each correct guess doubles the total but be careful. A single incorrect guess sees you lose everything from the winning round!

Payout potential and volatility

I always read official game documentation before I play a slot. I’ve done that with Wild Jack, and it is evident that it features a high volatility. Then again, in my opinion, you don’t need to read the documentation to figure that out. It becomes very evident when you’re spinning the reels, whether in demo mode or real money mode. I’d suggest having a good bankroll and placing smaller bets in the game because of this.

There is a fun element to Wild Jack, and the RTP rate of 96.25% helps bolster this a little. An amount above 96% in an online slot is something considered good, so the slot stands out for this reason. Even so, just be aware that you can only win up to 748x your stake. This is possible through the gamble round, as 748,000,000 coins is the maximum amount you can achieve from the round.

Wild Jack is probably decent for newcomers to experience, although only for smaller wagers because of the volatility level. Anyone who is a high roller probably prefers a game with more special features and a higher maximum payout. Here is how Wild Jack compares with some other popular slots:

Game	Volatility	RTP	Max Win
Wild Jack	High	96.25%	748x
Fire Joker	Medium	96.20%	800x
Wacky Panda	Medium	95.94%	1,111x
Jackpot 6000	High	98.90%	6,000x

Playing Wild Jack on mobile

It’s always great when an online slot is compatible with mobile devices. I love playing slots this way, and in some ways, Wild Jack has more of a focus on mobile gamers. When I played on my Android device, everything was displayed on one screen. The paytable was clear above the reels, and all the buttons were easy to use from the bottom.

Furthermore, the graphics come across as even clearer on mobile. Everything is very crisp, so you may want to consider playing this way over a desktop experience. Of course, the inbuilt features and smooth gameplay remain the same. Wild Jack is available this way on both Android and iOS devices, while Windows handsets have the possibility of playing it as well.

Play responsibly

I always advise players that setting deposit limits and betting limits at online casinos is the first step towards responsible gambling. This means you should never bet with more money than you can afford to lose. Remember to stay calm while gaming and have fun with it. The moment this stops being the case, you should stop gaming.

If you do require help with gambling, should you be experiencing problems, then there are resources like the following organisations that you can turn to:

• International Center for Responsible Gambling

• GamCare

• Gamblers Anonymous

Final verdict on Wild Jack game

Wild Jack is a fun game for someone who is just starting out with slots or players who aren’t looking for anything too complicated to experience. The wild symbols and the gamble round do make it a little more inviting, and the 96.25% RTP rate is another point to focus on.

Issues with the game surround its maximum win potential of 748x your stake and the high volatility level. Plus, the lack of any real special features makes it hard to enjoy as someone who loves slot games in general. Try it for free and see what you think.
