Wish Upon A Jackpot Slot Review

The first thing that strikes you about the Wish Upon A Jackpot slot game is just how good it looks. But we’ll tell you all about the superb graphics later. For now, you need to know that the game offers 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines of entertainment. You can bet from 0.2 coins per spin right up to 500 coins, and you can win a jackpot worth 1000 times your stake.

There is an autoplay feature available if you want to take things easy and just watch the action unfold. This slot has medium to high volatility, meaning that your chances of picking up bigger wins every now and then are greater than your chances of taking lots of smaller prizes.

The Wish upon a Jackpot slot RTP varies but is usually around 93%. For experienced online casino players, this in itself may be an automatic deal-breaker. Put simply, the value is a lot lower than some other games out there. It's not the first time we have seen this with Blueprint Gaming slots. Take Ted Slot RTP, for instance, capped at 92.02%; that's even lower! It all depends on how much you value this reading. Software companies make it visible for a reason, that's all we're saying.

If you want to play a slot of a similar type with a higher RTP, try NetEnt’s Hansel and Gretel Slot, which has an RTP of 96.33%.

The setting for Wish Upon A Jackpot slot is an enchanted woodland, and the music the game uses really helps to put you right there. The graphics have character in this game and are wonderfully detailed. The reels spin in between a golden frame, which is set in front of a riverbank scene. Lanterns hang between mysterious trees, and a warm golden light overhangs the branches.

This is a game that really gives you warm welcome when it comes to the graphics. Sitting back and just watching using autoplay is a great experience. Blueprint’s slots games often have outstanding graphics, and you can see this in games like Thundercats too.

There is nothing clunky or slow about the gameplay either. The reels spin smoothly and everything looks really slick. This is a classy looking game in every way, and certainly compares very favourably with other fairytale themed games such as Net Ent’s Red Riding Hood.

The sound effects also have a certain charm to them, and there is a pleasingly pleasant musical soundtrack too. The sound adds to the game’s immersive charms, and really pulls you into its fairytale world.

As you might expect from a game with a fairytale theme, the symbols on the reels are items taken from fantasy stories. They all look great, with each symbol beautifully rendered.  The frog is the wild symbol, and he will substitute for all other symbols to create winning combinations for you. If 5 frog symbols spin in on a payline you will win 500 times your line bet.

You will win 400x your bet if 4 frogs spin in. You will win the same if 5 of the game’s logo symbols appear on a payline.  Other higher value symbols are a golden harp, a glass slipper and a castle. The letters J, Q, K and A are the game’s lower value symbols, so there is nothing too surprising about what you’ll find on the reels. A trip to this enchanted woodland can certainly be lucrative if the right combinations of symbols spin in.

A storybook is the game’s scatter symbol, and you need to look out for it as it is your key to the game’s many bonus features. There are 4 characters on the book’s cover, and each of these characters offers their own bonus feature. Bonus features are where this game really steps up, as you can read in the next part of our review.

Bonus features are an aspect of the Wish Upon A Jackpot slot game that make it stand out from its many fairytale-themed rivals. The bonus features are triggered when 3 storybook symbols appear on the first, third and fifth reels.

As we mentioned earlier in this Wish Upon A Jackpot slot review, there are 4 stories shown on the front of the game’s storybook logo. These are the 4 bonuses that you must choose from:

• 3 Little Pigs
  If you opt for the pigs, you get a certain number of free spins. During these spins, any pig that appears will function as a wild symbol that remains in place for the duration of the free spins. Watch out for the big bad wolf, though, as he will blow away the pig symbol if he appears. If you are lucky, the pig wizard will appear and retrigger the free spins.
• Jack and the Beanstalk
  In this feature, you must pick magic beans that make the beanstalk grow. Keep doing this until you hit collect and end the round. If you reach the top of the beanstalk you will get a golden egg that guarantees a big win for you.
• Rapunzel
  This feature gives you unlimited free spins and a chance to see Prince Charming in action on reel 5. If he appears, he will climb the tower and offer you a multiplier. This increases the higher he climbs. When he reaches the top of the tower the round is over. The graphics for this feature really are outstanding, and you should watch out for Rapunzel letting down her hair.
• Rumpelstiltskin
  This trickster will appear and offer you a deal on multipliers. If you don’t like his first offer, you can turn him down, but you only get 5 chances to accept his offer.

In addition to the 4 storybook bonuses, you can benefit from the arrival on the scene of a whole host of other familiar fairytale characters. The fairy godmother is the key to these extra bonus features. She can appear at random on the reels on any spin and will give you the chance to pick from 3 orbs.

You can then benefit from one of 5 additional bonuses:

• Pinocchio Wilds
  This turns one reel position wild, giving you the chance to pick up a win
• Wild Reels
  This turns whole reels wild, offering more chances to re-evaluate what’s on offer
• Puss in Wilds
  If Puss in Boots appears, he turns the surrounding symbols wild and offers more chances to win as a result
• Bonus award
  Gives you the chance to play one of the game’s bonus features
• Fairy Win Spins
  Guarantees you a valuable win

While the name may may make you think otherwise, as we have seen in this Wish Upon A Jackpot slot review, there is no progressive jackpot. That doesn't mean that you should write it off. The Blueprint Gaming slot can probably offer more than a lot of other jackpot slots out there. The graphics will real you in; they are to write home about it! But it's the sheer number of bonus rounds that will keep you spinning. Revisit all of your favourite childhood fairytales with Wish Upon A Jackpot slot. And if the Fairy Godmother happens to be on your side, it may end up paying off, big time!
