Toony Jack Slot Machine
Now then, now then, now then... what’s going on ‘ere? A truly unique idea for an online gambler in a sea of really boring, carbon copy online gamblers? Who ever would have thought it?
Toony Jack is pretty off the wall stuff, which makes sense because the whole thing is centered on one concept- the world’s most eccentric nation; the UK. Everything has a heightened sense of stiff upper lip-dom, not to mention tongue in cheek-ness, and all the better for it. Definitely one of the new generation of slot machines, as slick to look at as any video game, it really is both great fun and exciting stuff, as it should be when you’re betting big money for big money.
God Save the Queen
As soon as the page loads up you’ll want to dive right in to be honest. Everything looks so smooth, the colors are crisp and sharp and obviously if you’re British there will be the added bonus of feeling very much at home. Even if you’re not, though, it’s a smile-inducing sight to see anyway, and you won’t want to move away from the website for some time.
On the 5 reels there are letters donning Union Jack hues, a bulldog, a beefeater, and members of the Royal Family in caricature, a Mini car and plate of fish and chips. It really doesn’t get much more British than that, save for if someone would have thought to include a grey sky with constant drizzle and a calendar set to August. Perhaps that could have been the Scatter symbol?
Anyway, we digress – the point being that there’s loads of stuff to like about what’s on the screen even before you start picking up significant winnings, and that’s only ever a good thing in our experience.
Flying the Flag for Blighty
Before you dive right in it can pay to do a little navigation, which is easier said than done really. There aren’t many words on the screen, everything aside from the options in the menu is symbolized. Once you understand this it’s straight forward enough, it just takes a bit to work out what everything actually means.
Like all gamblers, you can adjust the Coin Size, which in turn means you stand to win more money every time you make successful matches of those pictures mentioned above. However, matches are only valid for a win when they occur on an active pay line. You can adjust the number of active pay lines up to nine in the same screen as your Coin Size, the more you have active the more opportunities you have of winning, although you won’t automatically win more money on each individual bet- you need to add to the Coin Size also for that to happen.
For King and Country
OK, so the UK hasn’t had a King in over half a century, but still it seemed like a fitting subheading. Whatever you think, you probably want to know a little about how Toony Jack actually plays now, and we can fill you in – not before hinting at the fact that this is a bloody good game.
There are stacks of opportunities to win, and the winnings are pretty generous. Wild (Mini) and Scatter (fish and chips) are plentiful, the former substituting for any missing picture other than a Scatter in order to complete a combination, the latter offering up to 25 Free Spins, and therefore free chances of winning money. Not bad!
There’s no Bonus round here, but don’t despair. Toony Jack has a built in Gamble Feature, which means you can gamble winnings for a chance of doubling or even quadrupling your cash, which adds some casino-like excitement into the mix and definitely lifts this over and above many of its competition.
Jack of All Trades
We really, really like Toony Jack, the game genuinely doesn’t really put a foot wrong. It’s funny, with some hilarious graphics that are also very professional and modern, making the whole thing appealing from the word go.
Once you’re actually playing the winnings are generous, and the Gamble Feature is fast becoming one of our favorite things to include in a gambler- surpassing all but the most immersive Bonus Rounds we can think of. It just adds another layer of excitement and intensity to the experience, and obviously the chance of getting twice or four times as much money in an instant is pretty appealing. Put simply then, this is one of the best of the best on the market right now, pass it over and forever regret it.
