Play Action Jack for Free

Online video slots don't come much more exciting than Action Jack. The game is based on a daredevil explorer who has his eyes set on finding some long lost ancient treasures – presumably to hand them in to a museum rather than sell them off on eBay! Along the way to finding these precious treasures, our titular hero will need to make the most of his tattered old map to overcome magnificent golden waterfalls, active volcanoes and pass through booby-trapped doorways. It might just be worth the bother, though, especially when you consider that the game offers a range of priceless jewels, artefacts and stashes of ancient Aztec gold.

Graphically, this game is far from being at the cutting edge of slot machine design. Although, having said that, the slot is still captivating to look at with its colourful two-dimensional symbols and simple yet effective volcanic animations. If players really want to experience some truly stunning action spins then they should check out Jungle Jim: El Dorado by Microgaming, featuring state of the art 3D animations.

Action Jack is a low variance slot machine, which essentially means that players won't need to wait around for too long before the winning combinations begin to appear on the 40 paylines. As such, the game is always quite exciting to play even though the overall values of the prizes are somewhat small when compared to some video slots online. In fact, one of the game's largest base game jackpot can be found whenever five scattered treasure chest symbols appear to multiply the total bet by 25x.

After that, players can hope to line up various combinations of symbols to boost their betting balance. Five volcano symbols on a payline will award a 1,000x line bet multiplier prize while five golden artefact figures will award 300x and five matching gem or door icons will pay out 250x.

Since this slot machine's jackpot is awarded as a total bet multiplier prize, it would make more sense to spin the game with all 40 paylines in play, although it is possible to play with 30, 20, 10 or 1 payline instead. With all paylines active, the maximum total bet is 2.00 credits while the lowest possible wager is 0.40.

Action Jack aims to keep players on the edge of their seats with its exciting volcanic adventurer. And punters will surely be kept happy with some of the eruptive bonus gameplay features on offer. First of all, the game has a special wild icon – depicted by Action Jack himself – which will essentially replace any ordinary paying symbol to complete wins on active paylines. This wild symbol appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only.

The only symbol that cannot be substituted by the wild icon is the scattered treasure chest. That is because this icon pays its wins regardless of paylines and it also has the potential to offer a range of free spins whenever three or more appear on the reels. If three treasure chests appear, then punters will have 20 free spins, four scatters awards 40 free spins and five scatters offers a whopping 60 free spins. That means that there will be plenty of chances to boost your balance in the right direction.

If players are unsatisfied with the size of the prizes in this low volatility slot machine, then they can always try to increase their overall wins with a gamble feature. This gamble game offers the chance to double or quadruple the prize from the previous spin, either by guessing the colour of the card or the suit of the card.

Action Jack is one of the all time favourite land-based video slots and now it is available to be played online thanks to Spielo software. Admittedly, the games isn't quite as cutting edge as some other contemporary online slots and some punters might find the low wagering limits quite uninspiring. Nevertheless, the game is full of action with the chance to claim a huge amount of free spins.
