Jane Jones Book of Kings 2 – A Real Player’s Take on This Adventure Slot
Ever played those old-school “book of” slots and thought, “Yeh wala thoda fresh hona chahiye?” Well, Playtech and RareStone Gaming heard you. They dropped Jane Jones Book of Kings 2 – a sequel that keeps the classic explorer vibe but spices things up with day-night modes and free spins (फ्री स्पिन्स) that actually feel exciting. I spent a weekend testing it, and here’s the real deal – no marketing fluff.
First Impressions: Looks Matter, Right?
Opened the game, and boom – snow-covered Japanese temples instead of the usual Egyptian deserts. Felt like switching from a Salman Khan movie to a Rajamouli epic. The animations? Smooth as butter on a hot paratha. Even the background music shifts between calm (day mode) and intense (night mode) – subtle but effective.
| Visual Highlights | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Day/Night Themes | Switches automatically – keeps things fresh |
| Symbol Designs | Jane Jones looks like a mix of Lara Croft and Priyanka Chopra in Quantico |
| Transitions | No lag even on my 3-year-old Redmi phone |
Gameplay: Simplicity Meets Surprises
At its core, it’s still a 5-reel, 10-payline slot. But here’s the masala:
- Day Mode: Default setting. Spin normally, hunt for the golden book scatter.
- Night Mode: Randomly activates for 3+ spins. Best part? Free spins! (बोनस rounds without spending a rupee).
Pro tip: The night-book scatter pays up to 200x if you land five. I hit four once – my reaction was pure “Arey yaar!” material.
Free Spins – Where the Real किस्मत Tests Happen
Land 3 day-books: 10 free spins. Night mode? Just 2 scatters trigger 5 spins. A random symbol expands to cover entire reels during these – like that one friend who hogs all the samosas at a party but suddenly becomes your favorite person.
| Feature | Day Free Spins | Night Free Spins |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | 3 scatters | 2-3 scatters |
| Spins Awarded | 10 | 5 or 10 |
| Retriggers? | Yes | Yes |
Payouts & Volatility (अस्थिरता): Balanced Like a Good Biryani
RTP’s 96.5% – decent, but not groundbreaking. Volatility? Medium. Translation: Wins come often enough to keep you hooked, but don’t expect jackpots (जैकपॉट) every hour. My biggest win in testing was 47x the bet – not life-changing, but enough for a nice dinner.
Symbol Payouts (for 5 matching symbols):
- Jane Jones: 400x
- Monk: 200x
- Oriental Lantern: 150x
- A-10 Royals: 50x-100x
Mobile vs Desktop: Chhotu Phone, Bada Fun?
Played on both. Verdict:
- Mobile: Thumbs up. Buttons are big enough for clumsy fingers. Night mode’s dark theme saves battery.
- Desktop: Slightly prettier graphics, but honestly? Not worth waiting for your laptop to boot up.
Final Verdict: Who’s This For?
Try it if: You like adventure themes with a twist, enjoy medium-risk gameplay, or want free spins without jumping through hoops.
Skip it if: You’re chasing mega jackpots or prefer ultra-simple slots without day/night gimmicks.
Personal rating? 7.5/10. It’s like a solid Bollywood sequel – not revolutionary, but entertaining enough for a lazy Sunday afternoon with chai and samosas.
