How Jack and the Beanstalk plays
Wins with a wild are tripled. Walking Wilds can land on any reel; each gives a respin and moves one reel left until it leaves reel 1. In free spins, Key symbols on reel 5 are collected: every three keys upgrade the wilds, first to stacked double Money Bag wilds, then triple Golden Hen wilds, and at nine keys to Golden Harp wilds that expand to fill the reel.

Features in this game
- Respins: An extra free spin of some or all reels, usually with certain symbols held in place, triggered by a symbol or a win.
- Expanding wilds: A wild symbol that grows to cover its whole reel (or more) when it lands, substituting in every position it covers.
- Walking wilds: A wild that moves one position or reel along the grid on each respin, awarding a free respin each time until it walks off.
- Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
- Symbol upgrades: A feature that turns lower-paying symbols into higher-paying ones, or removes low symbols, for the rest of a spin or bonus.
- Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.28% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.72%, so every £100 staked costs £3.72 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.44, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as medium. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
Published hit frequency is 34%, meaning roughly 34 spins in every 100 return something. Many of those returns are smaller than the stake.
