Big Benji’s Back Wild Ways marks the return of Jelly’s iconic money-themed online slot, now with exciting updates and released through Yggdrasil’s YGG Masters program. With this new entry, Jelly aims to deliver its most lucrative game yet, incorporating advanced mechanics and rewarding features.
Players can expect to see up to 2,500x their stake thanks to the innovative Wild Ways feature and a rewarding FS bonus that introduces win multipliers, all designed to give players a shot at major cash payouts.
Through Yggdrasil’s cutting-edge GATI technology, Jelly was able to develop and launch Big Benji’s Back Wild Ways in multiple regulated markets, ensuring it reaches a global audience.
Unveiling New Levels of Cash Wins
In collaboration with Jelly, Yggdrasil has added yet another exciting title to its YGG Masters lineup with Big Benji’s Back Wild Ways. This slot game is dedicated to “all about the benjamins”, featuring Jelly’s trademark money-centric symbols alongside an impressive payout potential.
The standout feature in this new release is the Wild Ways mechanic. When wild symbols land on reels one and two, the Wild Ways feature activates, collecting any visible money symbols from adjacent reels in a left-to-right pattern.
These Wild Ways cash prizes accumulate, increasing the win potential with each spin. If players land a bonus symbol on the third reel while Wild Ways is active, they unlock the game’s FS bonus. Here, players spin a fortune wheel to receive between eight and sixteen extra spins.
During the FS round, Wild Ways activates more frequently, and players have the chance to enhance their winnings even further with multipliers on reel six. These multipliers can significantly boost all prize values, making each spin more rewarding than the last.
Players looking to increase the likelihood of triggering these features have the option to pay a 25% stake boost to raise the chances of activating the bonus, or they can pay 100x their stake to directly enter the FS round.
As Zoe Bird, Head of Masters at Yggdrasil, stated:
“We’re delighted to see that Big Benji has made his triumphant return to the reels two years after the release of the original title. There’s lots to love about this flashy title, with the addition of the Wild Ways mechanic!”
The Original Dollar-Driven Adventure
Originally launched in May 2022, Big Benji Bonanza brought a fresh Wall Street-inspired twist to the slot world. Featuring iconic dollar bills and a fun cash theme, Big Benji Bonanza captivated players with a high payout potential of up to 12,000x their bet.
In this game, dollar bills appear on any spin, allowing players to win on adjacent symbols, provided they line up from left to right. Reel five included a “cash machine” feature that could instantly collect all money symbols on the screen, creating dynamic opportunities for massive payouts.
The FS bonus in Big Benji Bonanza brought an extra layer of excitement with the Super Staxx™ mechanic. Players could unlock FS by landing three or more bonus symbols, and in the bonus round, the Super Staxx™ allowed any symbol to become stacked, with up to ten additional ways to win per symbol. During FS, players spun a special wheel to determine which money symbols would appear, potentially upgrading them to higher-value symbols for increased win potential.
Elixir of Wealth: Discover the MultiBoost Mechanic for Big Wins
During the previous month, Yggdrasil and Jelly’s collaboration also produced Elixir of Wealth, a magical slot that transports players into a world of treasure hunting and mystical potions. In Elixir of Wealth, the secret to winning lies in uncovering Elixir symbols that turn wild and reveal multipliers, initiating the game’s unique MultiBoost mechanic.
Elixir of Wealth takes place in a treasure-laden setting, giving players the chance to experience the thrill of uncovering hidden riches. Alongside features like side bets and bonus buys, the game offers a maximum payout of 5,000x. Like other titles from the YGG Masters program, Elixir of Wealth is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s technology that enables seamless, regulation-ready game development and distribution.
