Game Overview
Once upon a time, slot machines were equipped with five lowly reels of just three rows each, making for a shame-inducing total of just fifteen unique symbol positions. The slots felt sad; their cousins based around playing cards had 52 unique gameplay elements, and even the roulette wheel could boast of having 37/38 individual pockets. In desperation, the slots prayed to Lakshmi – the Hindu Goddess of wealth and prosperity – who in turn called upon Hermes, the Greek God of gambling. Hermes felt their plight and invented the grid slot to restore balance to the Pankration casino floor. Unfortunately, Zeus was unhappy with Hermes decision on this matter and confiscated his smartphone in addition to grounding him for the entire summer holidays. Feeling sorry for Hermes, Red Tiger created Jelly Multihops in his honour, a scatter-pay machine with a 96.23% RTP and a 10,000x stake maximum jackpot. And they all lived happily ever after.
Oh, how I wish my boss would let me get away with writing such ‘reviews’. I’m only joking, of course – I love testing pre-release online slots, especially when they come from prestigious developers such as Red Tiger! Better yet, Jelly Multihops is both a grid slot and a scatter-pay game, which are two of my favourite gameplay mechanics all wrapped up in one. Throw in an innovative Multiplier Grid, a random wild modifier, and a free spins bonus that guarantees said modifier will trigger on every spin. I’d say that the outline for book two of our initial story is ready for storyboarding, wouldn’t you?!
Anyway, don’t close your eyes just yet! That wasn’t a bedtime story – it was simply a warmup for tonight’s main event… our free demo slot of Jelly Multihops! Just don’t forget to give the ring girls a wink before firing it up… oh, and lace up your gloves!
Jelly Multihops Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Just so there are no mistakes here, the ‘jelly’ referenced in this online slot is of the British variety – a sweet, savoury treat you would most likely eat as a dessert. What we Brits refer to as ‘jam’, the Americans like to call ‘Jelly’ for some reason… if you want actual jelly in the States, you’d ask for Jello. It’s technically a little more complex than this, too, in reality – Americans also have jam, but it’s what we would call ‘seeded jam’…. Which most people aren’t too fond of. Wow, this review is turning into a bit of a random one, isn’t it? I think all jelly/jello/jam-based slots should have names such as ‘Sugar Rush’ to save you lovely Demoslot readers the pain of reading this kind of nonsense, wouldn’t it?
After all that, I’m sure you are itching to learn how Jelly Multihops pays, aren’t you?! Well, the game uses a 6×7 playfield for a total of 42 symbol positions, 50% of which must contain matching symbols to trigger a maximum win. It’s worth pointing out that this design theoretically enables you to land two such sets of symbols simultaneously. However, I’d imagine the odds of such a feat occurring must be on the order of many billions to one… if not more! 21 or more scattered red jellies offer a payout of 50x the current stake, followed by 25x, 20x, and 15x for the pink, purple, and blue jellies, respectively. Finally, 21 or more of the lower-paying symbols appearing anywhere in view have returns of 10x, 8x, or 6x for the cyan, green, or orange jellies, respectively.
As for the betting range, the minimum/maximum permitted wagers are sensibly set at €0.20 and €10.00 per spin, with a fair amount of well-spaced-out intermediate bets between those two extremes.
Base Game & Modifiers
In my view, the real beauty of scatter-pay slots is their absolute simplicity. Online slots that feature line-based payout mechanisms frequently create scenarios whereby players can end up feeling disappointed that arrangements which appear promising fail to result in a payout being awarded.
This is less of a problem with payway-based machines, but that always comes at the expense of a lower return for a similar five of a kind combination. Jelly Multihops manages to sidestep both of these issues, although you do need to accumulate a minimum of 13 or more matching symbols anywhere on the playfield before a prize is awarded. By contrast, most other scatter-pay games only require you to hit eight or more matching symbols to score a win, although such games also utilise far smaller playfields.
Random Wild Modifier
At the start of any base game spin, you may notice all the symbols on the playfield being replaced by numbers. This is the multiplier grid, and one position will be chosen randomly as the starting multiplier value.
When the grid switches back to the regular symbols, the multiplier value will be applied to any winning combinations visible on the playfield. After the winning symbols are removed, the multiplier grid will reappear, and the previous multiplier value will be added to all the other multiplier positions. A new multiplier value will then be chosen, and the process will begin again, with every consecutive win subject to a progressively increasing multiplier.
Jelly Multihops Slot Bonus Features
The bonus scatter symbol is easily identified by the word ‘bonus’ and its strangely cute one-eyed alien appearance. Aww, isn’t he sweet! You’ll need to land four of these simultaneously to activate eight free spins, but I’m sorry to say that in consistently disappointing Red Tiger fashion, there is no benefit to hitting more than four of these symbols at once.
Free Spins
In this mode, the random wild modifier is guaranteed to activate before every free spin. I was hoping that the wild multiplier value would not reset between free spins, which would have made this an S-tier bonus round… unfortunately, that is not the case. Don’t worry, though – this feature still has bags of big win potential, as it’s very common to win many times from a single free spin.
Bonus Buy
Are you having trouble catching the four bonus scatters necessary to trigger yourself some free spins? If you are playing outside a UKGC-regulated jurisdiction, there’s no need to panic – a bonus buy facility is available at 100x the current stake. This seems like a very fair price to me, yet again leaving me feeling depressed at having to accept the unnecessary rules imposed by my country’s “fun police”.
Pros
- Scatter-pay grid slot – need I say more?
- The Multiplier grid feature is excellent during the base game and awesome in the bonus round!
- Attractive top win of 10,000x the total bet.
Cons
- Most Red Tiger games specify a maximum jackpot based on the possible reel outcomes – let’s hope this is not the start of them switching to ‘capped’ jackpots as so many other developers already have.
Final Thoughts
I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed the original Wish Master online slot and would probably be going back to play it some more in the next few days if it wasn’t for the fact that this sequel bests it in every conceivable way. A true triumph for Red Tiger!
