Money Jar

Money Jar is a nice and fun slot machine created by Slotmill, which offers many possibilities not only to make winning combinations, but also to increase your winning opportunities through special features. The setting itself may not present particular novelty characters, given that the game takes place inside a casino where you can see slot machines and green tables. The curious thing is the type of style adopted, reminiscent of the cartoons of the Thirties (if it were not for the fact that Money Jar is in color!). The characters in fact remember Betty Boop and her friends, all the symbols are drawn like comics, and even the accompanying music of the game brings back to those years.

Very funny are the sounds that accompany the appearance of symbols on the reels, or certain phases of the game. Money Jar is an interesting slot because it has a very high volatility, presents a considerable amount of different ways to make winning combinations, and also offers you two exclusive features created by Slotmill: Fast Track and Burst Mode. Let's find out together what it is!

Money Jar slot Overview

As anticipated, the background of the reels is a game room where you can see all the most classic games of chance, from roulette to slot machines. There are also two characters watching you as you play, one on the right and one on the left. The one on the left is not very reassuring: he is a big man who stares at you a bit grim, perhaps the manager of the room who is certainly illegal. On the right there is a femme fatale who smokes her cigarette. Another clue that we are in our thirties: today we could not do it! The game layout is in the center and is perfectly square, consisting of 6 reels and 6 lines. The possible winning combinations that you can form at each spin are 46,656, and you form them by combining from left to right, on adjacent reels, at least 3 identical symbols.

The main buttons are all at the bottom of the screen, but we remind you that Money Jar, like all other Slotmill slots, works from both fixed and mobile devices, so the display may change slightly. The play, autoplay and bet buttons allow you to spin the reels and place your bet. Then there are two buttons that you may never have seen, that you have never played a Slotmill title. The B stands for Burst Mode: it is used to speed up the game considerably, at the rate of 2 rounds per second. The Fast Track is the equivalent of the Buy Bonus, and allows you to purchase one of the special Money Jar features, which we will discuss later.

Coins and jars, the symbols of Money Jar

The paytable is a lot of fun because it takes us back to childhood, with its colorful and playful style. The cans of coins, which are the real stars of the slot, have for example eyes and mouth and smile or sadness depending on how the game is going. The jar is one of the two special symbols, the Bonus, together with the Wild which has the classic role of Joker. Then there are the basic paytable symbols. Starting with those who pay less, we find the letters J, Q, K and A, which all pay the same way. Then, going up, there are the dice, poker cards, chips and reels of the slot. These symbols also all pay the same way. The high pay icons are the casino goers, four in all. The big man is the one who pays more than all the other symbols. We will find other special symbols within the Bonus Game Money Jar: Doubler, Payer, Magnet, Persistent Payer and Persistent Magnet. Let's find out what they are for.

All the special features of Money Jar

The way the reels run in Money Jar has a peculiarity. Wins are formed with groups of at least 3 identical symbols. When this happens, the symbols in question rotate again. Other symbols may appear, the coin jar or the Wild. The Wild has a counter: in fact it remains fixed during respins, until the counter reaches zero, when it disappears. The respins continue until there are more wins.

As we have anticipated, however, the real protagonist of the game is the jar of coins. It appears only on the middle reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. Another symbol may appear on the reels, a gold coin that stays in place and carries a value. If there are respins, when they run out of cans they collect the coins. The sum of their value is multiplied by your stake, and added to the winnings from the winning combinations. If at the end of the respins in play there are two cans, the Extra Chance feature is activated which causes all symbols near the cans to spin again. If a third appears, the Bonus Game Money Jar is activated.

The Money Jar Bonus Game, in fact, kicks off if 3 or 4 jars appear on the reels. The function starts with 3 lives, or 3 little hearts, and ends when the lives are over. You can earn 3 more if the red heart chip symbol appears on the reels. During the function, the cans remain in play and move around the screen, collecting the coins that are close to the end of each spin. In fact, only coins, cans, and special symbols Doubler, Payer, Magnet, Persistent Payer and Persistent Magnet. The Doubler doubles the value of the symbols present; the Payer adds its value and the Magnet collects all the coins in play until they are encased in a jar. The Persistent version of these two symbols remains in play until the end of the feature.
