Century of Jazz - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Century of Jazz is a slots game from the talented team at Mancala Gaming. This up-and-coming studio is making a name for itself in the world of online slots with some beautifully designed games and some novel ideas. The RTP of this slot is currently unknown, so it is difficult to judge it accurately, but we found few dead spins when we played it. Most wins were small, but the bonus round does offer some decent payouts! All in all, it's a great Jazz slot for fans of jazz and art deco.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack of Century of Jazz

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the theme of this slot is the Jazz Age. The game is set in the 1920s at an elegant jazz venue, and you'll come across characters including glamorous flapper girls and symbols representing iconic images from the period. The game has a strong art deco aesthetic and offers a completely different feel to most of the other slots out there with their sci-fi, surreal or movie themes.

Century of Jazz RTP & Volatility

The game's developers have not released any info about the RTP or volatility of Century of Jazz at the time of writing. While our playing sessions did seem to pay out pretty frequent - albeit small - wins, it's important to check for the actual RTP and volatility before playing for real money elsewhere as these things can vary dramatically across titles.

How to Play Century of Jazz

This couldn't be simpler to play! It really is the perfect game for novice gamers or anyone who just wants a relaxing slots game to play. Here are some step-by-step instructions in case you need a hand:

1. Launch the slot and wait for the intro screens to end.
2. Locate the bet display at the bottom of the screen.
3. Use the arrow buttons on either side of the display to scroll through the bet options. Remember that the bet displayed will be multiplied by 10 as there are 10 fixed paylines in this slot.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

This is a fixed-line slot with 10 paylines. As a result, every bet you place will be a multiple of 10. The smallest bet available is 10 x 1 coin, so 10 coins. The exact bet sizes available might well vary across different sites, so always check when playing somewhere new.

There is no information provided by the developer about the maximum win possible, but the highest-paying symbol is the liner, which pays out a generous 1500 coins when you land five.

Century of Jazz Bonus Features

Aside from a wild symbol that subs for all other regular base game symbols, Century of Jazz has just one bonus feature. This is a "choose your fighter"-style feature that is triggered when you land a single bonus symbol (an art deco square with 2x emblazoned across it) on the reels in the base game. You will be invited to choose between two characters - a dapper 1920s gentleman brandishing a gun or a flapper girl, also holding a gun. If your chosen character beats their opponent, you will double your win and can choose whether to play again or collect your prize. You can continue playing and doubling your prize up to a maximum of a 32x multiplier. But beware: if your chosen character loses to their opponent, you will lose all your winnings up to that point! You do get the chance to collect your winnings after each winning round, so think carefully about whether you want to risk your cash between rounds!

Overall Review of Century of Jazz

6/10. Although it's a charming game and has a great design, it is hard to offer a complete assessment of the game without knowing the RTP or volatility. Although our own playing sessions yielded frequent wins, these tended to be very small. This might please fans of low-volatility slots, but as official calculations on RTP and volatility are made over many thousands of spins, it's impossible to know what the game would be like in long-term play. The bonus round is also disappointing. It would be better to offer a free spins round and have the current bonus feature as an add-on rather than a standalone feature.
