Every Jellyfish Wild on the reels adds a reel and a row, pushing a 3x3 grid with 27 ways toward 7x7 and 823,543 ways, then climbs one spot per spin until it drops off the top. Over 410 spins at 1.50 I got 56.4% back, topping out at 66 times the stake.
I strain to locate words for my opening as I observe the reels spin in Habanero's slot Jellyfish Flow, kind of baffled by its mediocrity. There is no free spins feature, so the base game carries the whole return. Not that it's dreadful or that it's visually repulsive, it's not, it's merely that the absence of inventiveness is rendering it difficult to summon sufficient eagerness to make it through a complete write-up. I played it at 1.50 per spin from a starting balance of 2,000.00. Because what is there to state when you've witnessed it all a thousand times previously? The balance peaked at 1,997.30 on spin 7 and finished at 1,731.95, its lowest point. And the wins are so senseless that even the sluggish spins neglect to lift your pulse by one lousy beat. My second-best win was 63.00 on spin 314, which is 42 times the stake.
However, some folks are into this material for motives I will never grasp, so let's peer at the real game. Its paytable has just four regular symbols, the Orange, Pink, Green and Blue Jellies. Perhaps there's some magic there after all.
Jellyfish Flow is 3-reel, 3-row slot with 27 ways to win. There are no fixed paylines on any size of grid. These stretch to 823,543 ways as the grid expands to 7x7. Reaching the full 7x7 grid takes four Wilds on the reels at the same time. The game pays from the left, and punters can wager from 0.15 per spin. On the starting 3x3 grid only three-reel matches are possible, and the best of those, Orange Jelly or Wild, is worth 2 times the stake.
Jellyfish Flow is a rather basic slot. Its emphasis is on sticky wilds and a swelling grid. Once every Wild has moved off the top of the screen, the grid returns to its normal 3x3 size.
The Orange Jelly is the highest symbol. A five-reel Orange Jelly match pays 4.6 times the stake, and a six-reel one pays 8 times. It is worth 16.6 times the stake for seven of a kind. Below it, Pink Jelly pays 8 times the stake for seven of a kind, Green Jelly 6 times and Blue Jelly 3.3 times.
The wild symbol is depicted by the Jellyfish. It shares the top pay values with the Orange Jelly. It substitutes for all symbols and appends one reel and one row to the grid, while also sticking and shifting up one spot each spin. Wilds that land on consecutive spins keep adding to the expansion.
Minty’s Expert Conclusion: My best hit in 410 spins was 66 times the stake, against a cap of 32,410 times, and with no free spins the growing grid is the only road between the two.
If it hadn't been for the weak wins, Habanero could have gotten away with this idle and uninspired slot. Across the session I wagered 615.00 and won back 346.95, a return of 56.4%. The issue is the wins in the base game. Only 67 of my 410 spins paid anything, and 22 of those returned less than the stake. Even for a truly high volatility slot, they are simply absurd. The longest dry run lasted 22 spins and ended on spin 94. After 410 spins in which my largest win was 66 times the stake, it all ultimately began to seem like being trapped on a creaky seaside carousel.
