The Rhyming Reels online video slot series by Microgaming has achieved near-cult status among online gamers since it was first launched. Each slot in the Rhyming Reels series is inspired by a different children’s nursery rhyme including, among others, Georgie Porgie, Old King Cole, the Queen of Hearts, and Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill.

Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill is a five-reel 20-payline online video slot that features wild and scatter symbols as well as free spins and a top jackpot of 15 000 coins.

The Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill Storyline

Everybody knows how the old ditty goes…

Jack and Jill went up the hill

to fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown

and Jill came tumbling after.

Although the characters and setting of Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill remain pretty much the same as those in the original mildly violent nursery rhyme, Microgaming has spiced things up a little by turning the tale into a love story, which is why the reels as set against a red background covered in hearts.

Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill symbols include, of course, the dashing Jack and his gorgeous Jill, the infamous water pail, the well at the top of the will, and an emergency medical kit – presumably to treat Jack’s cracked cranium. The regular low-paying playing cards also make an appearance in Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill.

The Pink Jack and Jill Logo is Wild

The rather ornate pale pink Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill logo serves as the wild logo for this online video slot and can stand in the place of any symbol, with the exception of the water pail scatter, to complete winning payline combinations.

In addition, the Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill wild is unusually special because it comes with a multiplier – one for each wild symbol landed to a maximum of eight – that is applied to any wins yielded by that spin.

Free Spins Scatter from the Water Pail

As per the slots norm, scatter symbols in Rhyming Reels – Jack and Jill do not have to appear on active paylines to have value – as long as there are two or more of them on the reels.
