How many ways can a single Jelly Slice spin have?
Without a Slicer, 1,024: four symbols on each of five reels, 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4. Each reel can get one Slicer before the drop, and every symbol that falls through it is cut into 2, 3 or 4 pieces, each counting as a symbol. A reel cut into four from the top holds 16 pieces, and five such reels give 1,048,576 ways, the figure GAME INFO prints. The "1204" on the studio's page is a typo. Our widest base spin had 3,584 ways.
1,024 ways until a Slicer drops in
A way is any chain of matching symbols on adjacent reels from reel 1, one symbol per reel, in any row. Each winning chain pays the paytable value, so two matching symbols on one reel double a win. After a win the winning symbols are removed and the gaps refill from above until nothing more pays.
Ten regular symbols make up the paytable. The five card ranks, 10, J, Q, K and a red triangle drawn as an A, are worth 0.2x as a three and 1x as a five. The green and blue jellies pay 0.5x to 2x, the purple and orange ones 0.7x to 3x, and the red jelly 1x to 10x. The rainbow star Wild substitutes for every paying symbol and pays only for five, 20x.
That Slicer cut only one symbol, so reel 5 held five pieces and the grid 1,280 ways instead of 1,024. Small changes like this are what the base game mostly produces.
How high the Slicer sits decides what it cuts
A Slicer appears as a pink bar across one reel with a number on it, and it cuts whatever falls through it, so a bar above the top square splits the whole reel and one above the bottom square splits a single symbol. Symbols that drop in during a tumble pass through the same bar and are cut too. The number is the count of pieces per symbol.
Reel 1 on that frame holds seven pieces, which makes 1,792 ways. Of the 51 Slicers in our base-game log, 23 sat above the bottom square and cut one symbol, 19 cut two, 7 cut three and only 2 split a whole reel. By value, 38 were 2s, 12 were 3s and a single one was a 4.
Slicers showed up on 40 of our 500 spins, about one in 12. The 38 of those spins that did not start a bonus returned €130.40, a third of the base game's €390.80, yet the best-paying base spin had none at all. Spin 25 paid 20x for five red jellies on two ways.
Five FS make five spins, unless the blade gets them first
The FS symbols themselves set the length of the Razor-Sharp Bonus. Five to twenty FS in a base spin start it, and each FS is one free spin. Slicers count here as well: an FS cut in two is two FS. Our first natural bonus, on spin 210, began with only 3 FS symbols on the grid, two of them under Slicers, and that made five.
Slicers come more often inside the bonus. In our three natural rounds 21 of the 23 free spins had at least one Slicer, 43 in all, and the widest of those spins reached 5,376 ways. An FS landing during the bonus adds spins by the same count of pieces, 1 to 4.
Our bought bonus supplied that frame. With every square cut, the grid held 8, 8, 12, 8 and 8 pieces per reel, 49,152 ways, and the five FS turned into 11 free spins.
3,584 ways at most in 500 base spins
Wins were not frequent. 24.4% of spins returned anything, with a typical win of 0.7x, and at worst 14 spins in a row paid nothing.
Left to land by themselves, the bonuses ran 7, 6 and 10 spins and paid 33.7x, 7.8x and 102x. The last one, from spin 447, opened with six FS and grew by 4 when a single FS under a Slicer came out in four pieces. Two spins later five green jellies landed on 32 ways for €128.00, 64x from a symbol whose five pay 2x.
That round came straight after spin 446 had left the balance at €4,551.80, its lowest, and it lifted the balance to €4,753.80. The session closed at €4,677.80, 67.8% of the €1,000.00 staked.
A bonus card that names no spin count
The menu has three cards. BonusHunt costs 3x the bet per spin and makes a bonus five times as frequent. Slicer FeatureSpins charges 20x a spin, €40.00 at our stake, for at least one Slicer every time, and carries the only Very high label. The Razor-Sharp Bonus costs 100x and is marked Medium.
| Option | Price | At €2.00 | RTP | Volatility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BonusHunt FeatureSpins Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus game | 3x per spin | €6.00 | 96.39% | High |
| Slicer FeatureSpins Each spin guarantees at least 1 Slicer | 20x per spin | €40.00 | 96.33% | Very high |
| Razor-Sharp Bonus A bonus game with even more Slicers | 100x | €200.00 | 96.37% | Medium |
Neither the rules nor the card say how many free spins a bought bonus gives, because the trigger spin decides that. Ours landed five FS under Slicers on every reel, 11 pieces, so 11 spins. An uncut FS later added one more, and the round ended at TOTAL WIN 48.40, 24.2x the bet, after 12 spins.
GAME INFO quotes 96.24%, and that is the version this demo runs. Hacksaw's page gives no RTP list, and casino listings name 94.32%, 92.30% and 88.28% as the lower settings an operator may choose. Some jurisdictions also keep the buy menu closed.
Fixed ways in Supreme Zeus, moving ways here
Supreme Zeus shares the 5x4 grid and its 1,024 ways, but nothing there cuts a symbol. Its Super Cascades clear every symbol of the paying kind, and the larger payouts come from Coins, which land only in its bonuses and one FeatureSpins mode. Here the cascade stays plain and the count of symbols changes instead.
Among this site's ways games, Le Viking starts far higher, at 15,625 on six reels of five rows. This game starts at 1,024 and can pass that figure on any spin with a Slicer.
Does Jelly Slice have 1,204 or 1,024 ways?
1,024 in the base grid, rising with Slicers up to 1,048,576, the number in GAME INFO. The "1204" on Hacksaw's game page is a typo; no rules screen or listing uses it.
How many free spins does a bought Razor-Sharp Bonus give?
One per FS piece on the trigger spin, so the number varies. Ours started with 11 and finished on 12 after one more FS landed.
Can one extra FS add four spins?
Yes. An FS that lands during the bonus counts by its pieces, so a Slicer of 4 over it means +4. That happened in our third natural bonus, which ran 10 spins instead of 6.
Is there a second, hidden bonus?
No. The studio page and GAME INFO describe only the Razor-Sharp Bonus, and the buy menu sells it alongside two kinds of FeatureSpins.
Jelly Slice is a small paytable multiplied by a moving count of ways. Most spins stay at 1,024, and our best plain spin came without any Slicer. Inside the bonus Slicers turned up on nearly every free spin we saw, and a single cut FS there can add four spins.
