Time to join this strange shindig where a country-rock queen, a blonde pop star and an Irish fiddler get together to make a mess of music in this Jamboree Jubilee slot.
What we love about Merkur Games is the fact that they create simple slot machines online with great 5 of a kind wins, but not always very interesting themes. Think the Ultra 7 Wild game or the strange Sicilian Sun.
This Jamboree Jubilee slot kinda has the opposite. For once it seems they’ve really thought about the theme, especially as you get each one of your three musicians jamming by the side of the reels on each free spin.
Jamboree Jubilee is a 5 reel, 3 rows, 10 payline video slot with wilds, and 3 free spin bonus options with extra wilds, mega wilds and expanded wilds.
It’s glitzy, it’s odd, but the animations and sounds are kind of fun.
So you trigger the Jamboree Jubilee slot bonus by getting one of the musicians in one of the three frames. You only ever get 3 free spins, but what happens in those 3 rounds is fun.
The rockstars give you around 4 extra wilds on each spin, the pop star gives you 2 wild reels, and the maestro adds a 2×2 mega wild on each spin.
And you get these often. So it doesn’t matter that you only get three because wait maybe 20 or 30 spins and you will get another 3. It even has a pretty decent minimum bet of 0.20 a spin up to 20, so you have some decent betting range.
The problem is that while you can get wins of more than 20x your bet, we didn’t see them. And those bigger wins only really happen during the Jamboree Jubilee free spins at that.
Which is a shame, as Merkur games are many things, but they are usually great at ensuring you have a few ways of walking away with those bigger wins.
Yes, it has one of the better themes, but for our money, we would probably still prefer to play on something like the Magic Mirror Deluxe 2 slot game, that looks like a five year old made it, but gives you far bigger wins.

Wilds: The Jukebox is the wild symbol. He shows up (and pays) during the bonus game features.
Free Spins: There are three special frames in the middle row of the game. If you land the musician symbols on these frames in reels 1, 3 and 5 you start 3 free spins.
Gamble Feature: After any win, you can choose to gamble your winnings by picking one of two games.
You can double your win by guessing if the next card is either red or black. Pick wrong and you lose your win.
You can also climb the ladder and keep doubling your win by clicking a button... or literally lose it all. It's called a gamble for a reason.
You can, at any point, collect half of your winnings and keep gambling.
We liked this Jamboree Jubilee slot on mobile, especially as the free spins come around often and you get lots of wilds.
It's a shame the wins aren't quite interesting enough in order to make this a truly great Merkur Game, but for a low variance machine, this is quite good fun for maybe 15 or 20 minutes.
Any longer and you will find yourself losing slowly rather than winning quickly. It's not a perfect jam session, and there's some strange mix, but it's fun enough.
Better than the Tricky Trio slot or the Theatre of Rome game, that's for sure.
