What we know

Jack and the Beanstalk dates from December 2011, which makes it the oldest game in this catalogue by more than six years. It earns its place by showing how little the underlying maths has moved. Five reels, three rows, twenty fixed paylines, a 96.28% return and a 34.00% hit rate - figures that would pass without comment on a release next week. What dates the game is the ceiling: 7,100x was a substantial number in 2011 and is an ordinary one now. The mechanic is Walking Wilds. A wild lands, pays, then steps one reel to the left on each respin until it walks off the grid, and during free spins it leaves treasure markers behind as it goes. NetEnt publishes a single return figure with no ladder, and no volatility rating at all - not even the bar graphic that newer games on the same platform carry. There is no bonus buy, for the simple reason that the feature had not been invented yet, and that absence marks the game's age more plainly than any number on its page does.
