Jelly Slice (Hacksaw Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

When I think of slicing, I think of me trying not to slice off my fingers as I try to reenact top chefs who chop up carrots, onions, and whatever else at one hundred miles an hour. What I don’t think about is slicing jelly; I mean, is that even a thing? Well, according to Hacksaw Gaming, it is, as that’s what the leading developer’s latest slot, Jelly Slice, is all about. As you spin the reels, there is a chance the jelly symbols get sliced up, which is a good thing, as this could increase the ways to win on this 5-reel slot with a 96.24% RTP and 10,000x max win, up to an astounding 1,048,576. Nope, that isn’t a typo. I didn’t mistakenly add an extra digit, but it is indeed possible to spin with over a million ways to win!

How is that possible? A Slicer mechanic can randomly activate on one, some, or all of the reels, which slices jelly symbols up into one, two, three, or four pieces to increase the ways to win. I’d imagine you’d need all slicers to activate on each reel and for them to create four symbols a piece to achieve the one million+ ways to win, something I have yet to do since playing, but even a few can conjure up some impressive numbers on the ways to win scale. As for the main feature, this is a free spins bonus that lets you spin with an increased chance of those slicers kicking into action.

I know you want to see this slicer mechanic in action for yourselves, so why not just scroll down and try the free-to-play Jelly Slice slot demo below.

Jelly Slice Slot Paytable

Writing this slot has made me realise I haven’t had jelly for many years now, and I’m actually starting to crave the stuff. Perhaps it is the extreme heat where I am right now, but some jelly and ice cream would go down a treat. If you’re craving some jelly action, too, there are a couple of free play slots you can try, such as Jelly Multihops from Red Tiger Gaming and the fun Jelly Belly Megaways slot from NetEnt Gaming.

It’s time to check in over at the pays section on Jelly Slice, and at the top of the paytable is The Red Jelly with a return of 10x the stake for five in a row. The Yellow and Purple Jellies share a 3x payout for a full combo, while the Blue and Green both pay up to 2x. Onto the low pays, and we have the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten playing cards shaped by jelly, all paying 1x the stake when five line up across successive reels. The Wild symbol also helps to create winning combinations by substituting for all regular symbols.

Wrapping up this section, we end with the possible bet sizes on Jelly Slice, with real money players able to spin from a minimum of €0.10 up to a maximum of €100.


Jelly Slice Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Jelly Slice Slot Base Game

At first glance, the Jelly Slice slot comes across as fairly standard regarding its reel matrix. There are five reels and four rows that initially offer up 1,024 ways to win. However, the slicer mechanic I’ll detail below could allow you to spin with up to 1,048,576 ways to win.

Winning combinations are complete whenever three or more matching symbols land on successive reels from left to right, beginning from the first reel. Thanks to a cascading reel mechanic, they then disappear, and new symbols drop in from above. If more combos are created, the process repeats itself until no new wins come your way.


Slicer

The slicer mechanic is what the Jelly Slice slot is all about and the reason I think most of you will want to at least try this slot out. As you spin, it’s possible for one slicer to land on each reel. You might have spins with none, others with two or three, or some with a slicer on every reel. When they land, the slicer will chop the jellies that pass through it into two, three, or four pieces. As each slice counts as a single symbol, the ways to win increase.


Jelly Slice Slot Bonus Features

Jelly Slice Slot Free Spins Feature

The slicing continues into a free spins feature triggered when at least five scatter symbols appear on the reels during the same spin in the base game.


Free Spins Feature

You receive one free spin for each triggering scatter, so you’ll have at least five and as many as 20. The spins essentially play the same way as in the base game, but there is an increased chance for the slicers to activate. Any free spins symbols that land during the feature award an additional free spin.


Bonus Buy

To get into the thick and fast of the free spins bonus quicker than usual, you can consider one of three bonus buy options on the Jelly Slice slot.

  • Bonus Hunt Feature Spins: For 3x your current stake, you can spin with 5x the chance of triggering the bonus.
  • Sliver FeatureSpins: For 20x, you can spin with a guarantee that at least one slicer activates.
  • Razor Sharp Free Spins Bonus: For 100x, you can purchase the free spins bonus.

Pros

  • Up to 1,048,576 ways to win thanks to the slicer mechanic.
  • An original theme.

Cons

  • The free spins don't really differ much from the base game.
  • Multiple RTP models are available to operators.

Jelly Slice Slot Review Final Thoughts

I had a great time playing the Jelly Slice slot and love the slicer mechanic, but I think Hacksaw Gaming missed out on a chance to create a classic here. Everything was going great until the free spins bonus, which was a major letdown. A bit of creativity here, and I'd have certainly scored this one much higher.
