Jackpot Jam - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Do you love shooting hoops? Classic slots make a come-back in this big-winning, big-hitting slot from Arrow’s Edge. Jackpot Jam puts players on the courts in a traditional three-reel slot with three rows, four paylines, and up to 15 free spins. Bonuses, wild symbols and progressive jackpots await you in a gaming experience that is sure to lift you to the dizzying heights of basketball’s giants. A similarly themed title is the Basketball Star slot.

Symbol combinations pay from left to right with four potential paylines. Coinciding wins on different paylines are added together and bonus wins are added to payline wins.

The reels are in a simple 3x3 format. Two basketball bonus symbols on reels one and three trigger 5, 10 or 15 free spins, which are awarded randomly and can be re-triggered.

To make it easier to land wins, you will be awarded payouts for any combinations of 7s or bars, with higher payouts for matching symbols. In other words, you can win even when not all symbols on a payline are the same.

In the background are several basketball players at various stages of play in front of a packed crowd. The game’s name emblazons the advertising strips along the stands.

Jackpot Jam review: our verdict

For classic slot enthusiasts with a love of all things basketball, Jackpot Jam is sure to be a slam dunk. As with most slots from Arrow’s Edge, the gameplay is slick and good-looking, while the soundtrack is a hit of old Americana. 

With a standard 3x3 slot format, the game may be too simple for some and certainly the four paylines can get a little repetitive after long periods of play. The high volatility of the game can also make a dent in your balance. 

That being said, the bonus features offer a welcome hit of excitement with their potential to win big rewards, and the progressive jackpots really do make the thrill mount up on each successive spin.
