In an online slot world filled with seemingly-interchangeable titles, Endorphina has once again distinguished itself among developers with their latest game: In Jazz. Set amidst the grit, glamour and glitz of musical life in 1930’s Chicago, this game features strong play, sharp visuals, musically on-point sound design, and a delightful bonus feature.
Theme
In Jazz slot is lovingly designed to honor a moment of musical history that produced the likes of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Benny Goodman, and Earl Hines. Gaming symbols include instruments and musicians: a glamorous singer, smiling bass player, and indoor-sunglass-wearing saxophone player are the highest value symbols. Lower-value symbols are the playing card values ace through ten, each representing a different musical instrument (the ace gaming symbol is a porkpie-hat-wearing saxophone). A golden tremble clef acts as wild, and a symbol displaying the game title acts as scatter. In a brilliant touch, each game symbol triggers a unique musical cue when a winning combination is made.
Betting Options and Functions
The smartly-designed player options allow for a very broad betting range in this coin-based slot. The 25 paylines are adjustable, and the bet per line can be set between one and ten. The overall betting range, therefore, is from one coin per spin all the way up to 250. There is an auto spin feature, as well as a turbo option, which speeds up the reels for faster game play.
Features
Whenever three scatters or more appear on the reels, the Jazz Band Joker feature is triggered, with ten free spins to start. During this bonus round, it’s possible to win additional free spins to extend this phase of gameplay. The major advantage in these free rounds is the appearance of one or more of three possible stacked wilds, which take up an entire reel. These wilds are fuller versions of the musicians featured on the reels: the sax player is a wild symbol, the bassist a wild and double win multiplier (for all winning paylines), and the singer a wild and a triple win multiplier. It’s possible to achieve some astronomical wins in this bonus play, and if additional free spins are won, there’s no limit to how long this can go on.
Both bonus and base play also features an opportunity to take all wins to double-or-nothing in a separate card game. The dealer’s card will be shown, and players choose one of four card options – with a higher card, the win is doubled; with a lower card, the win is lost. Doubled win totals can be risked again, and again, with no win limit (though always with the risk of losing the total win).
Our Take
In its short time on the scene, Endorphina has produced some glorious slot games. In Jazz follows in this model. All elements of game design are well-crafted, leaving the player with a gaming experience resembling a prohibition-era cocktail: smooth, artful, subtle, and possessing the potential to tempt the consumer into many more rounds.
