Indiana Jane - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Join intrepid adventurer Indiana Jane as she embarks on an adventure to the Golden Tombs of Katun in the new slot from Realtime Gaming. This title is set in the jungle and is a five-reel, three-row adventure based slot machine with up to 25 active paylines.

Match symbols include Indiana Jane herself, Jane's intrepid sidekick, maps and other quest-related symbols, as well as the basic playing card symbols.

Watch for the idol scatter symbol, which opens the Tomb Spheres free spin bonus feature, where all wins achieved are subjected to a multiplier.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The explorer theme extends to the entire visual design of Indiana Jane, with the reels surrounded by leaves, vines and the steps to an ancient ruined temple. 

The green background really makes the dark reels stand out, with symbols showing great contrast from one another. Reel animations are fairly smooth, allowing the game to run at an attractive pace. 

Graphics are not the most ambitious for a modern game, but things really pick up when the bonus game is entered. The sphere pick screen shows some real ingenuity in allowing players to have some agency over the number of free spins selected.

Music is a great adventurous theme, which annoyingly only plays when the reels are spinning. During autoplay mode, this leads to various pregnant pauses between spins, which are extended if wins are achieved. Bizarrely, this only happens during the core game, with music continuing throughout the bonus game as free spins take place.

Indiana Jane RTP and Variance

Indiana Jane has long-term average RTP of 95%, which is a bit below average. The medium volatility makes it a well-balanced game, but be prepared to wait patiently for the biggest wins.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

Bets in Indiana Jane range from 0.01 to 125.00, making it ideal for players with all budgets.

The 0.01 bet is achieved by minimising the number of active paylines to 1 and the bet to 0.01. The maximum bet is based on 25 active paylines and a line bet of 5.00.

Matching 5x Indiana Jane on an active payline returns a phenomenal 2,500x the line bet.

Matching 5x Jane's intrepid sidekick on an active payline pays out a cool 1,250x the line bet.

Matching 5x the other symbols on an active payline returns between 750x the line bet and 100x the line bet. 

All paylines pay out concurrently, so if you have wins on more than one line, you can win big, up to the number of active paylines selected.

Indiana Jane Bonus Features

The scatter symbols hold the key to the free spin bonus game in Indiana Jane.

Matching three or more scatters at any location on the screen opens the bonus game. The scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5.

Once the feature is triggered, selecting one of the scatters which appears on the screen will show you how many picks are chosen during the next round. This leads to a screen of Tomb Spheres, which can be selected from to determine how many free spins are awarded.

Free spins are awarded a starting multiplier of two, with additional free spins and multipliers available.

Indiana Jane Review - Our Verdict

Indiana Jane is an appealing slot machine with an innovative bonus feature. Graphics are somewhat dated, but gameplay should make amends for most players here.

If you can look past the rather limited graphics, you should find a rewarding gameplay experience with Indiana Jane. We wonder whether she was named after her dog, just like Dr Henry Jones Jr.
