Jawbreaker is a simple slot with one mission – fill the gumball meter or collect bonus symbols to unlock the free spins round. This is how it works:
Jawbreaker Symbols
Firstly, look out of the jawbreaker symbols, represented by the round white sweet. These carry multipliers of up to 5x. These multipliers are applied to any win on the same spin, and if more than one is involved, they are added together before being applied.
Tumble Wins and the Gumball Meter
A common feature in scatter pays games, tumble wins occur on all winning spins. Winning symbols are removed from the grid and remaining ones, and new ones, drop in to fill the spaces left behind.
If more wins are created, the process repeats. And again, and again, until there are no more wins.
At the same time, with each tumble a gumball is dropped into the gumball meter. If you fill it with 6 gumballs (i.e. 6 consecutive tumbles) then the free spins round will trigger.
And to help you, there is a special feature called Sugar Rush. It triggers at random, adding between 1 and 6 extra gumballs to the meter.
Free Spins Round
As well as using the Gumball Meter to trigger free spins, you can also trigger it by landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 BONUS symbols to get yourself 10, 12, 15 or 20 free plays.
The round is nicely configured to set up some good cumulative wins.
Firstly, not only do jawbreaker multipliers apply to the spin they land on, but they are also collected in a Jawbreaker meter. The current total of the meter is always applied to wins during the round.
Secondly, watch layers be removed from the Jawbreaker meter each time a multiplier lands on a spin. There are FIVE layers, and once each has been removed you reach the core of the sweet where 3 more spins are added to your total. That’s a neat trick!
