judge and jury megaways SLOT THEME, STAKES, PAYS & SYMBOLS

There aren’t too many other online slots that feature a courtroom setting, so I guess that aspect of Skywind’s latest is at least somewhat innovative! It’s a fun theme that is excellently presented with top-notch graphics, reasonable sound, and a high-quality user interface. As I said right at the beginning of this review, there is no question about Megaways games being excellent online slots – my issue with lots of the more recent releases is simply that they are mostly just clones of the original Bonanza Megaways that Big Time Gaming first released nearly half a decade ago. I can’t help feeling as if Skywind has been a little bit lazy by repackaging the title yet again, even if there are a handful of additional features on offer.

The paytable is fairly typical for a Megaways game, so don’t expect to see anything huge on offer. With up to 117,649 ways to win and stacked symbols on the reels, there is no way the developer can attach a huge prize to any combination – regardless of how rare it might be. The paytable does not update to match the size of your current stake either, so get ready to do a little math yourself if you want to establish how much you will win from all the possible combinations. The wild symbol and the judge are the highest payers with a return of 6.5x your bet each for a six-of-a-kind combination, followed by the policeman at 3.75x, the robber at 2.5x, and the safe at 2x. Again, you can’t expect anything too huge from a game with this many pay ways – the idea is to win on as many pay ways as possible simultaneously rather than hoping to hit an extremely rare combination.

The Megaways slots are some of the most volatile games you will ever play, so you should adjust the size of your bets to account for this. I’m not sure Skywind got the memo here, however, as whilst the minimum bet might be a low-roller friendly €0.20 per spin, the maximum has been ramped all the way up to a staggering €200.00! Trust me here – you WILL go bust if you play at that kind of level with these sorts of games!

base game & modifiers

The base game in Judge and Jury online slot takes place on the familiar six-reel Megaways layout, with each of the six reels dividing into different numbers of segments on each individual spin. There is an additional row of symbols along the centremost four reels which fall to the left when symbols are removed rather than vertically – this is all stuff we have seen a thousand times before. 

Likewise, the payout mechanics work just as with most other Megaways games too – winning combinations of three or more matching symbols are removed immediately from the reels, with new symbols dropping in from the top to replace them. Let’s look at the features including what’s new with Judge and Jury Megaways, to separate it from other existing Megaways titles:

judge and jury megaways slot free spins feature

Almost every Megaways slot includes a free spin bonus round, usually with an ascending multiplier that increases each time you hit a winning combination. Judge and Jury Megaways video slot sticks to this formula, awarding ten free spins for hitting four scatter symbols, fifteen spins for five scatters, or a maximum of 20 spins for all six scatter symbols. 

One thing to note here is that five and six scatter triggers seem to be relatively common on this game, as I had both several times during testing. This is obviously a great thing for the player, and something which makes this game stand out amongst other Megaways slots in my view.

The free spin feature itself is nothing we haven’t seen before – it works just like the one in Extra Chilii Megaways, except for the “ID Parade” bonus game which is a new feature exclusive to Judge and Jury. Hitting three of the ID Parade trigger symbols will take you to a second screen where you can pick a crook to win extra spins, a boost to your multiplier, or a cash prize. One crook will even offer you a second pick.

Each time a winning combination lands on the reels the winning symbols are removed and replaced with new ones from the top of the screen. Each time this happens your current multiplier will be boosted by 1x. The amount won from each bonus round spin is multiplied by your current multiplier before being added to your balance, and it is possible to reach some staggeringly high multipliers if you are particularly lucky.
