Below: how it handles on a phone, and what its numbers mean in pounds.

Is there a Jack and the Beanstalk app?
Not as a standalone game. Jack and the Beanstalk is a NetEnt slot that casinos carry under a supply deal and show in their lobbies, so the way to play it on a phone is through a UKGC-licensed casino app or mobile site. You log in, search the game, and it opens in a window inside the app using your normal balance. If you see a “Jack and the Beanstalk” app offering free coins in a store, it is a different product with no link to the NetEnt game or to a real-money account.
The game retells the fairy tale with a cartoon giant, Jack, a goat, an axe and a watering can, plus card-value symbols for the smaller wins. It is one of NetEnt’s older titles, and the visuals show their age a little, but the features still stand up and the symbols are easy to pick out on a phone.
Jack and the Beanstalk on a phone: layout and controls
A classic 5 × 3 grid makes this an easy game to hold in one hand. Landscape gives the clearest view, with the beanstalk artwork either side of the reels; in portrait, if your casino’s build supports it, the reels sit near the top and the stake and spin buttons drop to the bottom where your thumb can reach them. The portrait vs landscape guide explains why some older games prefer sideways play.

When a Walking Wild lands, the game spins again on its own while the wild moves. That re-spin is part of the same paid spin, so you do not need to tap anything; just wait for the Spin button to light up again.
Playing Jack and the Beanstalk step by step in an app
Sign in to your casino app and type “Jack and the Beanstalk” into the search bar.
Open the game and tap the information icon to check the RTP and the Treasure Collection rules.
Choose your stake. All 20 paylines are active, so the stake shown is the full cost of a spin.
Tap Spin. Lines pay from the leftmost reel to the right for three or more matching symbols.
If a wild lands, watch the Walking Wild re-spins play out before your next tap.
Land three or more treasure chests to start the bonus spins; follow the key counter on reel 5 as they play.
Walking Wilds explained with an example
Every wild symbol in Jack and the Beanstalk is a Walking Wild. When one lands, it pays any lines it completes, then shifts one reel to the left and triggers a free re-spin at no extra cost. It keeps walking and re-spinning until it steps off reel 1.
Picture a wild landing on reel 4. You get the result of that spin, then a re-spin with the wild on reel 3, then reel 2, then reel 1: three extra spins from one paid stake. A wild that lands on reel 1 pays once and leaves. If a new wild lands during the re-spins, it starts walking too, which is how several wilds can end up on the grid together.
This is a form of respin feature and the main reason the base game feels active. It does not change the game’s overall RTP; it is simply how the maths delivers part of the return.
Bonus spins and the Treasure Collection feature
Landing three or more treasure chest scatter symbols anywhere starts 10 bonus spins, and another set of three or more during the round adds 5 more. Walking Wilds keep working throughout.
During the bonus, a key symbol can appear on reel 5. Keys are counted, and at set totals the next wild to land is upgraded:
Keys collected
Upgrade to the next wild
3
Moneybag wild, stacked two symbols high
6
Golden hen wild, stacked three symbols high
9
Golden harp wild that expands to fill the reel
Because upgraded wilds still walk left with a re-spin, a stacked wild reaching reel 5 early in the round can cover a lot of positions over several spins. Reviews describe the details slightly differently, so the help screen in your version is the final word on how each upgrade behaves.
Jack and the Beanstalk RTP, volatility and stake examples
NetEnt’s published RTP is 96.28%, meaning an average long-run cost of about £3.72 per £100 staked. Volatility is medium-high: the base game ticks over with Walking Wild re-spins, but the bigger results depend on bonus spins with upgraded wilds, and those are not frequent.
Some practical numbers. A £20 session at 20p a spin is 100 paid spins, plus whatever extra re-spins wilds give you. At £1 a spin the same £20 lasts 20 paid spins, which may not be enough to see a single bonus round. Lower stakes do not reduce the expected cost per pound, but they make a budget last long enough to see how the game behaves.
The maximum win is set out in the game rules rather than as a single headline figure we can verify, so check the paytable in your app if that matters to you. Our guide on reading a paytable on mobile shows where to find it.
UK slot rules that affect Jack and the Beanstalk
In Great Britain every online slot must take at least 2.5 seconds per spin and cannot offer autoplay, turbo or quick-stop. The maximum stake is £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over and £2 for those aged 18–24, and there is no option to buy the bonus round. Older guides that mention an autoplay button describe versions for other markets. For the reasoning, read UK slot design rules on mobile.
Walking Wild re-spins are part of the paid spin, not extra paid rounds, so they do not count against the stake limit and they still respect the minimum spin time.
Free-play Jack and the Beanstalk: what UK apps allow
A demo version is only available in UK casino apps after you register and pass age verification, and not every app offers one. Demo spins are useful for watching Walking Wilds and Treasure Collection in action, but results in demo mode are not a guide to real-money results. The demo mode explainer covers what to expect.
Jack and the Beanstalk compared with similar slots
Big Bad Wolf is the obvious fairy-tale alternative. Wild Toro also features wilds that walk across the reels, and Gonzo’s Quest is NetEnt’s other early adventure title, built around falling symbols rather than walking wilds.

Frequently asked questions
How do Walking Wilds work in Jack and the Beanstalk?
Each wild that lands pays any lines it completes, then moves one reel to the left and triggers a re-spin at no extra cost. It repeats this until it moves off the first reel, so a wild landing on reel 5 can give four re-spins from a single paid spin. New wilds that land during re-spins start walking too. The re-spins are part of the original spin, not extra stakes. The respin glossary entry explains how this kind of feature works in other slots.
How many free spins do you get in Jack and the Beanstalk?
Three or more treasure chest scatters anywhere on the reels award 10 bonus spins, and landing three or more chests again during the round adds 5 more. The spins play at the stake that triggered them. During the round, keys collected on reel 5 upgrade the next wild to a stacked or expanding version at 3, 6 and 9 keys. Check the help screen in your app for the exact rules of your version. Our guide to mobile slot features covers scatters and bonus rounds in more depth.
What is Treasure Collection?
Treasure Collection is the key-collecting feature in Jack and the Beanstalk’s bonus spins. Keys land on reel 5 and are counted. At 3 keys the next wild becomes a moneybag wild stacked two high, at 6 keys a golden hen wild stacked three high, and at 9 keys a golden harp wild that expands to cover the reel. Upgraded wilds still walk left with re-spins. The feature only runs during bonus spins. The expanding wild glossary entry explains how expanding wilds differ from stacked ones.
What is the RTP of Jack and the Beanstalk?
NetEnt publishes an RTP of 96.28% for Jack and the Beanstalk. That is a long-run average: for every £100 staked across a very large number of spins, about £96.28 is returned, so the average cost is around £3.72. Short sessions can land far from that figure in either direction. Always confirm the RTP shown in the game’s information screen in your casino app, using the steps in our guide on finding a slot’s RTP in an app.
Can I play Jack and the Beanstalk on my iPhone?
Yes, in any licensed UK casino app that offers NetEnt titles. The game is built in HTML5 and loads in the casino’s game window on iPhone, iPad and Android devices. It is a light game by modern standards, so even older phones usually handle it, although the first load may take a few seconds. If it does not open, update the casino app and check your connection. Our guide to casino apps on older phones has tips for less powerful handsets.
Is Jack and the Beanstalk a high volatility slot?
It is generally rated medium-high volatility. The Walking Wilds keep the base game moving with frequent re-spins, but the larger results tend to come from bonus spins with upgraded wilds, which do not arrive often. That means a session can include long stretches of small returns. Choosing a stake that gives you a decent number of spins from your budget is a sensible approach. The volatility glossary entry explains how to read these ratings across different games.
Can I buy the free spins in Jack and the Beanstalk?
No. Feature buy is not available to players in Great Britain, so the bonus spins can only be triggered by landing three or more treasure chests in normal play. If you have seen bonus buy options in videos, they come from other markets. UK rules also remove autoplay and turbo spins and require each spin to last at least 2.5 seconds. The bonus buy glossary entry explains the feature and why it is not offered to UK players.
Do welcome free spins work on Jack and the Beanstalk?
Usually not, because welcome spins are tied to specific games. Coral’s offer (18+, new players, bet £10 on slots for 100 spins at 10p on selected games, valid 7 days) names its eligible games in the terms, and PlayOJO’s 80 spins are on Big Bass Bonanza. Check the offer page before depositing if you hope to use spins on a particular slot. Our page on casino app free spins compares current partner offers and their key terms. Terms apply.
What is the maximum stake on Jack and the Beanstalk in the UK?
The legal maximum is £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over, and £2 per spin for players aged 18–24. Casinos apply the cap automatically once your age is verified, so the stake selector will not go above it whatever the game allows elsewhere. Walking Wild re-spins are part of the paid spin and do not cost extra. Our guide to UK stake limits on mobile slots explains how and when the limits were introduced.
