Fast Jade
Jade has many uses and is reputed to be a spiritual stone protector and even a healer. When it comes to gemstones, Jade is a green beauty. The free Fast Jade instant win game has a theme dedicated to the Jade. It's just one of a range of similar gemstone themed games from the company Link2Win using the SupaLinka system. The nature of the game revolves around making links to win prizes from a grid of 16 numbered tiles. These links can be diagonally, horizontally or vertically made, but they depend on rules to make a successful link.
Thrown in for good measure are a number of hot spot tiles that have the capability of stripping prizes away as fast as they are made. It all helps make the gaming experience fun, fast and exciting. The design team at Link2Win have pulled out the stoppers by using stylish 3D graphics for a sleek and polished look. They’ve also included some nice fitting sounds such as a quick celebratory applause when winning and disappointed ‘Ahhhhhhs’ when hitting a hot spot.
Polished for Play
As with any online instant win game, it requires some form of fee to be paid or stake to be placed. For Fast Jade, it's the latter and comes with a range of 1 - 20. Once a bet is in place, punters can select play. The whole play area is sparkly and the grid is made in a 4 x 4 format. The tiles within have 12 gems with green colours at the centre, with the addition of 3 red in the top corners and bottom left corner which are the dreaded hot spots. One yellow tile appears at bottom right and this has quite a nice surprise when triggered.
Two shiny jade gemstones are positioned either side of the grid; the left one to keep count of any links that may be made and the right one for the draw numbers. There is a full pay table on hand along the left of the play area that gives a quick look at what can be won for the amount of links made. A more detailed look at the pay table with full odds can be seen in the game menu information located on the right of the screen.
Lucky Links
Sixteen numbers are randomly assigned to the grid so when the draw is made, the numbers on silver discs can be placed on their matching numbers on the grid. Any draws following a number that places it immediately next to it will form a link that changes to gold. The object of the game is to get as many golden links made as possible. When making 5 links or higher, this will win a prize. If there are 4 links or less and the last drawn number happens to correspond with the yellow tile, a multiplier of 1.5x is applied to the stake and a payout to the player is made.
If the last number drops on the yellow tile with enough links to win a prize, then that prize is doubled making a possible jackpot of 100,000. If the last drawn number matches a hot spot, then anything under 10 links will be broken and no prizes are made, but you will win the sympathy of the crowd with the ahhhhhs. Those players wishing to make sure the speed is as fast as the game title, can select fast play on the play button. There is also auto play to sit back and spectate to watch the prizes roll home.
Be the Boss
If instant win games are your go to games to unwind, then grab those lottery balls and become the boss. In the free Boss the Lotto by Gamevy, 49 balls are put into play, 43 are good balls and 6 are really bad. It’s a simple pick and reveal. The good balls will reveal a currency sign and add a value to a progressive pot for each good ball selected. These can be picked individually or swipe a number of them.
At any time, the players can choose to cash out after any good ball has been successfully picked and claim the prize. If one of the 6 bad balls is selected, then the game is over and the prize pot is lost. Starting the betting off at just 1 to play, the option is there to go for the high roller stakes of 200 to be in with a chance of the 500,000 jackpot. With a return to player percentage of 91%, it’s a great game to add to your balance if cashing out with caution.
Green for Go!
The theoretical RTP for Fast Jade is expected to be 89.07%. Playing the higher stakes will bring in the biggest prizes if avoiding the hot spots. What is good about the game is, it's simple to follow but very effective. It has incentive in the prizes and is captivating to watch the links being made with the innovative software by Link2win.
Not only does it look and sound great on a home computer, but taking it to a smaller screen as a mobile-optimised game, it somehow manages to look even better for linking on the go! If you like what you see, it’s worth checking out the other link games and playing with the gemstone of preference.
