Fury of Hyde Megaways is also one of Jelly’s initial forays into the Megaways format, licensed from Big Time Gaming, with more titles to follow. Set in the energetic world of 19th century London, the game transports players back to a time when the city was the world’s largest, with the greatest population, biggest port, and a financial hub. It was an era where anything could happen, and where Dr Jekyll, with his homemade serum, transformed into Mr Hyde to commit unspeakable acts—details that Stevenson leaves ambiguous. Jelly’s gloomy depiction of London, complete with overcast skies and mysteriously lit windows, allows players to speculate on the dark deeds that Hyde might have committed.

Wild Fishin Wild Ways

How times change, huh? Not too long ago, it seemed like every other game released was Irish or Egyptian-themed or revolved around the ‘book’ mechanic. Now, it feels like the fishing-themed slot (or “fishin’,” as it’s often written) is having its moment. No matter how you feel about this trend, software provider Jelly, in collaboration with Yggdrasil, brings you another aquatic adventure with Wild Fishin’ Wild Ways. Embracing the fishing theme, this slot features a money symbol collection mechanic. To keep things fresh, Jelly has tweaked the collection method and introduced an expanded ways and reels feature.

Wild Fishin’ Wild Ways offers numerous unique twists on the standard fishing slot. While it may not break the rules, it certainly bends them. The base game is set above water, near a charming seaside town at sunrise, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The 5-reel, 3-row game grid, coated in seaweed, takes center stage with a counter on top indicating an initial 243 ways to win, which increases as the panel expands. Jelly has crafted an inviting visual experience reminiscent of Pixar’s Finding Nemo, especially when the free spins are triggered, and the action moves underwater.

Buffalo Blox Gigablox

In some ways, you have to admire Swedish developer Yggdrasil. The studio embodies a real “all for one, one for all” ethos, readily sharing its innovative game mechanics with partner companies. This time, it’s the up-and-coming Jelly that benefits from Yggdrasil’s collaborative spirit with the slot Buffalo Blox. Following the trend set by other Yggdrasil partners, Jelly has built this game around the Gigablox mechanic, enhancing it with features like free spins, stacked symbols, and instant coin symbol cash prizes.

Jelly’s previous slots have generally been inspired by nature or mythology, and Buffalo Blox falls into the former category. Set in the North American wilderness, it evokes a land rich in natural beauty and sparse in human presence. Slot gaming, much like streaming, is a solitary activity, which might appeal to those who enjoy solitude, similar to hermits who shun modern life for seclusion. Perhaps there’s an undiscovered link between those who gamble online and those who live in isolation? Just a thought. Anyway, Buffalo Blox beautifully captures the North American landscape, though the inclusion of a diamond symbol slightly detracts from the pristine environment.

Big Benji Bonanza

It’s often said that the three topics to avoid at family gatherings or when meeting new people are politics, religion, and money. While the first two are rarely mentioned in the online gambling world, money is inextricably linked to online slot entertainment. One slot that embraces this connection is Big Benji Bonanza from Yggdrasil partner Jelly. Let’s address the elephant in the room: Big Benji Bonanza is not only focused on cash but also bears a striking resemblance to Nolimit City’s rap-themed slot East Coast Vs West Coast. While the gameplay differs, the attitude and aesthetic similarities are hard to ignore. So, does one slot outdo the other in terms of style and swagger?

Visually, the first point goes to East Coast Vs West Coast, yet Big Benji Bonanza holds its ground. The game exudes an attitude that is unabashedly obsessed with banknotes, earning respect for its candor. Set on Wall Street, once a literal wall built by the Dutch in 1653 and now a global finance hub, the backdrop features the iconic Charging Bull statue and what appears to be the New York Stock Exchange. From the outset, it’s evident that Jelly was heavily influenced by East Coast Vs West Coast. Although it doesn’t quite match the energy, Big Benji Bonanza’s irreverent take on finance and humorous depiction of ex-presidents in hoodies offer a fun and engaging experience.

Might of Zeus

Might of Zeus is a mythology-based game developed by Stakelogic in collaboration with Jelly. It features the legendary power couple of ancient mythology, Zeus and Hera, each honored with their own unique game features. Zeus stars in a locking wilds respins feature, while Hera offers free spins with win multipliers. According to myth, the couple frequently clashed throughout their tumultuous marriage, often due to Zeus’ infidelities. Given the constant rivalry between these deities, players can decide which god exerts the most influence in Might of Zeus—we’ll stay out of any divine disagreements over the best feature.

Legend has it that Hera was especially upset by Zeus fathering children with other women and favoring them over her own son, Ares. In Might of Zeus, it appears to be one of those days when the divine couple is at odds. The sky is filled with moody clouds and occasional lightning bolts, set against what is likely a misty Mount Olympus. Greek columns frame the game grid, accompanied by a subdued lute-style soundtrack and cash register sound effects mingling with the thunder. The imagery is decent, though not particularly striking or memorable, but it effectively sets the mythological scene.

Jade of the Jungle

Developer Stakelogic, along with independent associates Jelly, bring us the Central American-themed slot Jade of the Jungle. Given the frequent use of this setting by slot designers, standing out requires a unique twist. Jade of the Jungle accomplishes this by featuring two independently spinning game grids, a relatively uncommon approach that could give the game the edge it needs to capture an audience’s interest. But does it?

At the heart of Jade of the Jungle are two 3×3 game panels, divided by a swirling stone statue. The scene is framed by lush trees, vines, bushes, and a step pyramid in the background, making it clear to players where they are. Visually, Jade of the Jungle is appealing, if not particularly groundbreaking. The soundtrack adds to the ambiance with soothing panpipes during idle moments, transitioning to a rhythmic drumbeat when the reels spin. Overall, it’s a pleasant experience, offering a refreshing take on a familiar theme.

Valhalla Saga Thunder of Thor

If you play online slots for any length of time, there’s a good chance you’ll encounter Thor, or Þórr in Old Norse. He embodies the classic man’s man—or the stereotype, depending on your perspective. When he’s not drinking and feasting, he’s battling foes and beasts with his legendary hammer, Mjolnir. It’s easy to get swept up in the Thor mystique, feeling the urge to drink mead from horn cups, grow a beard, and don an epic cape. With that in mind, we were excited to give Valhalla Saga: Thunder of Thor a spin, hoping the game would live up to the legend.

A collaboration between Yggdrasil and independent software studio Jelly, our expectations were high, especially given the success of Yggdrasil’s ‘Vikings Go’ series. From the moment we launched Valhalla Saga: Thunder of Thor, we were impressed. The game boasts a 5-reel, 30-payline grid set against a moody northern vista, evoking locations from Iceland to Scandinavia—and possibly even North America, where Vikings may have landed nearly 500 years before Columbus. Mjolnir rests on one side, the Buy Bonus button on the other, with lightning crashing down on the bleak landscape. So far, so good.

Savanna Roar

In October 2020, Yggdrasil announced the addition of emerging mobile-first game developer Jelly to its dynamic YGS Masters Programme. Nearly a year later, Jelly released their first slot, Savanna Roar. The YGS Masters Programme has been known for its eclectic mix of styles, themes, and varying quality. With Savanna Roar, Jelly seems to have aimed for a middle ground—creating a safe, solid game that avoids major missteps but doesn’t break new ground.

YGS is known for its unpredictable variety, and while Savanna Roar’s title hints at its theme, the execution provides more clarity. Set in the heated lands of Africa, the game features a sunrise over a lush savanna filled with wild animals, mountains, acacia trees, and flocks of birds—a familiar scene for experienced players. Jelly has managed to capture this setting adequately, although the color palette is somewhat muted compared to other African-themed slots. The visuals do become more vibrant during the free spins feature. The soundtrack is a standout, featuring an uplifting choral number that adds to the game’s pleasant ambiance.
