Jack and the Beanstalk

About Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk is a 5-reel, 20-payline fairytale slot from NetEnt, released in 2011 and built around the studio's Walking Wilds mechanic. It follows the story of Jack climbing the beanstalk to the giant's castle, with a 3D art style and a treasure-collection bonus that gives the free spins a sense of progression. A remastered version later added smoother visuals and a bonus-buy option.

The game's signature is the Walking Wild. Whenever a wild lands, it triggers a re-spin and shifts one reel to the left on each subsequent re-spin, with all wins involving wilds tripled. In the free spins, collecting keys upgrades the wilds into stacked money-bag wilds, which is where the bigger payouts build.

How to Play Jack and the Beanstalk

Set your stake and spin the five reels. Wins are formed by landing three or more matching symbols left to right across the 20 paylines. The card royals make up the lower wins, with the fairytale characters and treasure items paying more.

When a wild lands, it awards a re-spin and walks one reel to the left, repeating until it leaves the grid, with wild wins tripled. Three or more treasure-chest scatters trigger 10 free spins, where collecting keys from reel 5 upgrades the wilds into more valuable forms. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.20 per spin.
