The Walking Wild Symbol Feature
The Jack and the Beanstalk Touch mobile slot logo is the walking wild symbol that comes with a re-spin feature when it appears on the reels. When a wild symbol lands all other symbols change with the re-spin feature while the wild symbol remains in position.
Each re-spin sees the wild symbol moving one position to left until it reaches the first reel and then ends the feature after the reel one re-spin. Any winning combination the wild symbol is a part of is multiplied with a 3x multiplier.
Free Spins and Bonus Key Symbol

Like bonus symbol in many iPhone pokies NZ, an additional symbol, the key, is a bonus symbol that only appears during the free spins round. Every key symbol that lands is collected and once a particular number of keys are collected a special wild feature comes into play.
When three keys are collected the bag of gold coins becomes an extra wild symbol. Six key symbols collected brings about the golden goose wild symbol which appears stacked, two or three times, in any position on the reels. If nine key symbols are collected the golden harp becomes a guaranteed expanding wild symbol covering all three positions on the respective reel.
The Jack and the Beanstalk Touch special wild symbols all act the same as the regular wild symbol and move one position to the left with every spin.
