Jenga: An Unusual Online Casino Slot Game

1 Comment   Email   Print

Jenga is the latest addition to Cryptologic's collection of online slot games. It belongs to its Casual Game Slots series that has slots like Cubis and Sudoku. Jenga is a registered trademark of Pokonobe Associates and the slot has been developed under license from them. Jenga is the extremely popular block game of the 1970s and this shows on the screen.

Though Jenga is essentially a slot game its structure is completely different. The matrix of symbols has given way to a tower of blocks. The 18 paylines do not zigzag across the reels but are the 18 layers of the block tower. The game can be played in a 9 payline version as well. The different colored blocks are the symbols and three blocks of the same color in a layer result in a payout. The payouts are described as usual in a pay table. Additional payouts are given for blocks of the same color that connect to a layer of identical colored blocks. The wild and scatter symbols have been replaced by magic blocks and layer bombs. Magic blocks transform to the color of surrounding blocks so as to make winning combinations. Layer Bombs remove full layers from the tower and replace them with new blocks on the top. A Bonus block is awarded for each block in a winning combination. The Bonus blocks are added to the top as blocks from winning combinations are removed from the tower. As the blocks are removed from the tower it could become unstable and collapse. If this happens then a free game is awarded.

The wagers per line range from $0.05 to $20. The maximum bet in the 18 payline game works out to $360. The payouts are given in coins. These are multiplied by the line bet to convert to credits. The maximum payout per game is limited to 50,000 coins. Like other online slot games Jenga has an Auto Play feature. In the simple feature the Auto Play is carried out under standard conditions. In the advanced feature the Auto Play can be customized.

Jenga is a riot of colors. When the game is activated the existing tower twists and disappears and blocks start falling from the top to create the new tower. The blocks get removed and new blocks appear at the top all the time changing the pattern of the color on the screen. The background patterns are vivid and colorful as well. These too keep changing to add to the movement of color. Jenga can be played at all Cryptologic online casinos
