Jumping Beans
Jumping Beans is a 3 reel, 5 payline video slots game that is part of the real series of pokie machines at Casino Midas for New Zealand players. It is a progressive pokie with a minor a major jackpot and offers a range of features including wild symbol, scatter symbols, multiplier and bonus game for extra winning opportunities. Coin denominations in the game range from 0.01 to 1.00 with a maximum bet of 5.00 per spin, making this game ideal for penny pokies players.
Theme and Symbols
Casino Midas offers several types of pokies but Jumping Beans is undoubtedly one of the most coloured and funny as well as one of the most rewarding. It has a Mexican theme with bright colours and crisp graphics, including a sunny background with large cacti. Symbols in the game include Bandido Bean, a cabana, a smiling sun, a range of taco symbols, maracas and a guitar and a rose and cactus, as well as Mr Bean and Mrs Bean.
Mr Bean is the wild symbol and substitutes for all other symbols, except the scatter symbol to complete a winning combination. It is a multiplier symbol and when it is used to complete a winning combination, it multiplies your win by 2. It is also the jackpot symbol and when three Mr Bean symbols appear, the maximum fixed jackpot of 1,000 coins is awarded.
Mrs Bean is the scatter symbol and is the key to triggering the Bonus Bean feature.
Auto Nudge
Once the reels come to a stop and payouts are awarded, any reel with Mr Bean or Mrs Bean above or below the reel will be nudged in order to bring the Mr Bean or Mrs Bean feature onto the reel. This nudge happens automatically to increase your payouts and is also part of the triggering process for the Bonus Beans feature game. Players will be paid out for any new combinations resulting from the nudged reels.
Bonus Bean Feature
When three Mrs Bean symbols appear anywhere on the reels following an auto nudge, players will be awarded ten free spins. The free spins game includes a Bonus Beans Tally and any Mr Bean, Mrs Bean or Bandido Bean symbol that appears during the bonus game will accumulate on the Bonus Beans Tally. The Tally has six levels with three beans on each level. Once a level has been filled, the player will be eligible for the prize associated with that level. At the end of the game, the highest eligible level bonus prize will be awarded. Players can be awarded from 5x the triggering bet for 3, 4, or 5 accumulated beans to 100x the triggering bet for 18 accumulated beans. You can keep track of your tally with the counters next to the reels.
The Bonus Beans feature can be re-triggered once only and will award five additional free games which will be added to your remaining total of free games. Once the free games have concluded, players will be returned to the base game.
Progressive Jackpots
Jumping Beans offers two progressive jackpots – the Major Jackpot and the Minor Jackpot. These can be awarded randomly at the end of any spin. Players are eligible regardless of the coin denomination or bet size you play with, although the larger your bet, the greater your chance of being awarded the jackpot. A portion of all bets is contributed towards the progressive jackpot and it continues to grow until it is won, at which point it returns to its base amount.
