Game Overview

Fairytales have long been a theme for slot game providers to tap into when looking for inspiration for their latest creations. Past releases tell us that Jack and the Beanstalk has proved to be a popular choice amongst developers, and gaming studio Foxium seems to agree as they share with us their 9 Enchanted Beans slot. A rundown of the stats reveals a 5-reel game with 20 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96.12%, and a maximum win of 3,400x bet.

There’s a handful of features to tell you about, starting with the Epic Strike aspect of the game. This involves the collection of Magic Beans on one single spin with a win displayed to the side of the reels, where funnily enough, if you hit 9, you’ll receive 2,000x bet as a prize. We also have an Ogre Skull Award, another collection meter awarding a random prize between 1x – 2,000x bet when you collect 12. Last is the free spins feature, triggered when 3 scatters land in view. During this bonus round, collected beans remain active between losing spins, and a special goose symbol can also land on reel 5, activating a wheel with 4 rewards.

Can you defeat the giant and return down the beanstalk with the jackpot prize? Why not test your skills with no financial risk through our free 9 Enchanted Beans slot demo, available to play below.

9 Enchanted Beans Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Whilst I don’t mind the odd fairytale themed slot, I can’t say it’s a genre of casino game I’d openly go looking for despite there being a few older classic titles in the niche that are worthy of a mention. If you haven’t already guessed what I’m thinking of, then I’m referring to NetEnt’s Jack and Beanstalk slot and Blueprint Gaming’s Wish Upon a Jackpot slot, which has bags of features to explore if you want to check it out. Could Foxium’s 9 Enchanted Beans slot game be the title that’s about to put these styles of games back on my gambling map the next time I have a session? I’ll begin my review by finding out just what it can pay.

Taking the prized position at the head of the paytable is the Wild Golden Egg, which not only substitutes for all standard symbols but also returns 50x bet for a five of a kind win. This is followed by Jack at 20x, a Bag of Coins at 10x, with the Harp and Axe next, sharing payouts of 7.5x bet for a completed line of five. Four royal symbols represent the low pays, and we have the Ace and King with equal pays of 4x, whilst the Queen and Jack return 2x the bet for a winning combo of five.

Foxium offers a good spread of bets on their 9 Enchanted Beans slot, with the minimum price to play starting at €0.20 a spin and high rollers having the chance to stake up to €50 if they wish.

9 Enchanted Beans Slot Base Game

Gameplay on 9 Enchanted Beans utilises a 5×3 reel matrix to offer players 20 fixed paylines throughout the base game and bonus feature. Landing at least three matching symbols from left to right on consecutive reels is required for a winning combo to be formed and a win to be paid.

Epic Strike

To the left of the reels, you will see the Epic Strike Meter. Each step of this meter has a win value next to it, which is how many Enchanted Beans you need to land on a spin for a win to be paid. Landing 9 will award you a huge 2,000x bet.

Ogre Skull Symbols

The Ogre Skull symbol can only land on reel five in the base game. If you collect 12 of these skulls in the meter above the reels, you will be awarded a random prize from Epic Strike Meter between 1x – 2,000x bet.

Boost

If you activate the Boost, the chances of triggering the free spins and landing Enchanted Beans and Ogre Skull symbols are increased. Using this feature costs an extra 50% on top of your original stake.

9 Enchanted Beans Slot Bonus Features

The bonus scatter symbols only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, and you’ll need all three to land simultaneously for the feature to be triggered and 3 initial respins to be awarded.

Free Spins

At the top of the reels, you will see there is now an Enchanted Bean Collect Meter. Each time an Enchanted Bean symbol lands on the reels, it will be added to the meter, and your spin counter will reset to 3. A special Goose symbol can also land on reel 5, resetting your spin count to 3 and activating a bonus wheel where one of the following will be awarded.

  • Extra Spin: Adds one spin to the respin counter.
  • Payline Win Multiplier: The payline win multiplier will be incremented by +1.
  • upgrade Awards: The values of the Enchanted Beans will be upgraded.
  • Instant Award: An instant cash prize will be awarded when 3 – 8 Enhanced Beans are collected.

* When the spin count reaches zero, the feature will end, and whatever position you have reached on the meter will be awarded as an extra prize.

Bonus Buy

Players who can access the feature buy option in the game can trigger the free spins instantly at the cost of 60x bet.

Pros

  • Various bonus features are active in the game.
  • Cheap bonus option of 60x bet.

Cons

  • Operators can choose to put the game on an RTP as low as 86.16%.
  • The free spins round feels a little scripted once you reach a certain point of the Enchanted Bean Meter.

9 Enchanted Beans Slot Review Final Thoughts

I did think 9 Enchanted Beans had the makings of a decent slot game when I first loaded it up and started playing it, but I quickly realised there are dozens of other games like this available to play on the Microgaming platform, and there wasn't anything particularly new or exciting about it.The free spins feature does seem like there is a little bit of potential there, but once you get so far up the meter, expect to see four dead spins and no resets coming your way.Your views may be different from mine on this one, but for me, this is a miss and one I'd avoid.
