Theme of The Game
Live Jazz could be a very good game to try out, if you’re interested in jazz, and if you would just love to be in a club in New Orleans right now, listening to just this type of music. It’s a game with a very good design, it features only images which are jazz or club related, and overall I think it’s one of the good reasons this pokie gives you to play it.
The action takes place in a city, at night, the background picture showing you a street on which the club is located. The reels are closer to you, and they have two street lights flanking them.
On the reels, you have just 5 lines, and the symbols forming combinations on them have images of posters, cooked lobsters, musical notes, whisky glasses, the club’s entrance, the street sign, the moon, trumpets and a couple of jazz performers (voice and instruments both).
Developer
Genesis Gaming might not be considered a top choice, but they’ve been part of this industry for about 8 years now, since 2008, and they have more than 150 games already in the pokies category. They tend to be appreciated, and you can see why if you check out some of their games.
The pokies they put out will at least make an effort to be different, either by approaching a topic differently, or by picking something that is rare in the first place. Their latest games, Live Jazz and Arizona Treasure, are both very well made and fun to play.
How To Play It
The 5 lines that you’re forced to work with, without being able to reduce the number even if you wanted to, will require 5 coins for the wager. It’s the value of those coins that you have power over, and they will start from the minimum of $0.01, and can be taken up to $4. The total bet will start at just $0.05, while the maximum is $20.
I’ve found the game to be very attractive, and I think that it matches the jazz theme well. There weren’t any poker icons involved, no boring icons without a connection, every symbol was well picked.
Special Features
The game may have only 5 pay lines for you to work with, but at least they pay both ways, so you’re not stuck with winning combinations that only go from left to right. It gives you slightly better odds of hitting a win.
The neon made Live Jazz sign delivers the biggest payout you can expect from a regular combo, forming on up to five neighboring positions on the same line, either from the right or from the left.
Substituting for other symbols, the wild can be used even if it appears only once, provided that the regular symbols are present in enough locations on that line to form a combo with it.
The only symbol to be able to appear scattered on the reels is the one which shows you the full moon, in a very romantic shot with musical notes traveling towards it. The scatter is used to give you prizes, at 5x, 25x or 75x total bet, for 3, 4 or 5 of them present anywhere.
The Live Jazz Free Spins come with the help of scattered wild symbols, not with the usual scatters helping out. A small feature begins, where first you pick a bar to enter, and then you pick an instrument.
The bar gives you the number of free spins, from 5 to 25, while the instrument pick gives you the number of extra wilds that you will use, and those will be between 2 and 5.
Maximum Payouts
The game has a theoretical RTP of 97.257%, so you already know that it will be a decent choice as far as your budget and chances are concerned. As for the individual payouts, they don’t go very high, the best one being offered through the scatter, and reaching $1,500. Regular combinations get to $800.
Summary
Live Jazz does a lot of things right, so I’d recommend it even though it doesn’t have huge prizes to give away.
