Mystery Jack Demo by Wazdan
Three Mystery wagons in Mystery Jack can award up to 500x the total bet, and Wazdan puts the max win at 710x the bet. Read side by side, those two figures describe this retro Wild West slot better than its classic 3-reel face does. The demo’s standout number belongs to a scatter award picked at random, and the game’s maximum is a short step above it. For a game whose look promises simple line pays, that is an unexpected shape.
Slot Features
The Mystery Bonus
The Mystery Bonus needs three Mystery wagons and pays a prize chosen at random, between 1x and 500x the total bet. The wagons are scatters, so where they land on the 3×3 window makes no difference to the trigger. Because the award is random and starts at 1x, 500x marks the top of the range, and a single trigger can pay as little as 1x.
A single Mystery award can land not far below the max win.
Nine Free Spins
Three Free Games wagons anywhere on the reels award 9 free spins. Both bonuses start from wagons that count off the lines, so neither one needs a payline to begin, and a spin with no line win can still open either feature.
Jack the Wild
Jack is the Wild, and he replaces the regular symbols to complete line wins. Jack can’t finish a wagon set, though. Two Mystery wagons and a Jack still leave the Mystery Bonus one wagon short, and the Free Games wagons follow the same rule.
With a black steam locomotive and a red cowcatcher on its artwork, 3 reels, and a February 2013 release, Mystery Jack looks like a plain line-pay classic. Its headline figure belongs to a scatter prize instead, under a modest top win. That shape suits players who like a 3-reel game with a random bonus to look out for in free play, and who are content with line wins between features. Anyone after a four-figure win won’t find one here, because the max win is a three-figure multiple of the bet.
How to Play
Pays on 27 Lines
Line wins in Mystery Jack come from 27 lines laid across 3 reels and 3 rows. Super Hot, another Wazdan classic, uses 5 fixed paylines on the same 3×3 window, and 27 is an uncommon line count among the slots on this site. With that many lines on a window this small, the lines overlap heavily, and one symbol can be part of several lines at the same time, so a single Jack can help more than one line pay on the same spin. A spin pays the line wins it forms, and the wagons work apart from the lines, with three of a type anywhere on the reels starting that bonus. After a win, the gamble option lets you guess a card’s colour to double it, or you can collect and keep the win as it stands.
RTP and Bet Range
Mystery Jack’s RTP is 96.79%. Stakes go from 0.10 to 100 a spin. The game has a Low-Medium volatility rating, a less common band among the site’s demos than Medium or High, and next to a top win in the hundreds, that rating points to smaller, more even results over one huge hit.
