Gameplay and Design
12 Bells Hold the Jackpot is different from traditional pokies in that it doesn’t offer a base game. Instead, the only way to receive a payout is to reach one of the two bonus games. The game has a bell theme where you aim to reach one of two bonus rounds.
The layout is relatively average, with a semi-upbeat soundtrack. Here is a rundown of the symbols for this game.
- Bells – Used to help trigger the 12 Bells Bonus Game.
- Mystery – Can transform into gold coins or any jackpot prize.
- Jackpot Mystery – Can transform into any jackpot prize
- Treasure Chest – This collector symbol collects the coins on board and awards a multiplier of up to 20x.
- Gold Coins – Contain dollar amounts that pay out in bonus games.
- Multiplier Coins – These award multipliers in the bonus games.
- Jackpot Coins – Can contain Minor, Mini, or Major jackpots
- Cash Infinity – Appears in the base game and remains sticky until the end of a bonus game. It awards a 5x to 10x prize during a bonus game.
With a lack of payouts in the base game, this game is somewhat dull until you get to the bonus game. The game is simple to play, with controls across the bottom of the game board. The left side of the menu has your game settings options, including sound and the paytable. You can place your bet in the middle menu with betting options from .20 up to $10,000 per spin. The right menu section has your spin control, including spin speed and auto spin. The button with the peppers on it allows you to set the volatility to Low, Standard, or High.
