Theme
Just about everyone is familiar with Jack and the Beanstalk. This quaint folktale dates back centuries and has been retold in books, on stage and on screen many times over the years. The artists at 2By2 have told the story with suitably traditional cartoon animation. Nicely drawn slot symbols include a golden egg-laying goose, shiny coins, a golden harp, magic beans, the beanstalk, a castle in the clouds, Jack and – of course – the giant. The whole theme of this slot is quaint and has been drawn in a good old-fashioned storybook style.
How to play
As we mentioned earlier, Giant Riches has a game play format that we’ve never seen before. The slot has eight reels, 5 rows and a fixed amount of 60 pay lines. The first two reels are stretched out over five rows; however, reels three to eight have just three rows each. This means that symbols can be stacked six high on some reels and three high on the rest. Although the 60 lines are fixed, you can select the number of coins you play with (up to 20), and the value of those coins from 1p to 20p each.
