Judge and Jury Megaways™ Slot Review
Judge and Jury Megaways is a video slot from Skywind Group that was released on June 9, 2022. This slot game, which has a criminal justice theme, invites you to the Wanted list. You pack your bags and make your way to the courtroom, where you keep your fingers crossed that the judge will rule in your favor. Graphically, it is drawn in a cartoon manner, and it has a feeling of having its tongue in its cheek the whole time. In terms of its outward aspect, it resembles Cops and Robbers more than it does Judge Judy. Given that the action takes place in a courtroom, you should keep an eye out for the animated judge to the left of the reels. As you spin the reels, you'll hear catchy phrases like "Guilty your honor" and "Do you promise to speak the truth, the entire truth, and nothing but the truth," which contribute to the game's lighthearted atmosphere. Read our review to decide whether it is worth your time and money to play it.

Judge and Jury Megaways™ Bonus Features
Cascading Wins
When you get a winning combo while playing Judge and Jury Megaways, the symbols that were part of the combo will vanish, and the symbols that are above them will 'cascade' down to fill the empty spaces, while fresh symbols appear .This process will continue until there are no more winning combos to form.
The Judge Feature
In addition to providing antics and action commentary, the Judge (shown on the left) also has the ability to release 2 distinct unique modifiers at arbitrary points over the course of the main game.
- He has the ability to command that any and all royal symbols be eliminated from any random non-winning spins, thus providing you with a cascade that contains only premium symbols.
- Additionally, he has the ability to add 3 to 6 wilds to arbitrary spots at random moments.
Wilds
There is a Blue and a Red Siren Wild, and they will substitute for pay symbols to help you create winning combos. The only place you'll find a Red Wild is on the top sliding reel, and when it does appear, it spreads such that it fills the whole reel below it. The Blue Wild appears on the normal reel, and much like other wilds, it is able to replace for other symbols.
Wanted Poster Feature
Every time you spin the reels the Wanted Poster that is shown on the right-hand side of the grid will feature a different wanted offender. If a matching symbol appears on the reels, you might win cash rewards that are 2 times, 5 times, 10 times, 100 times, or 5,000 your initial wager. After that, the symbol is eliminated, which starts a cascade, but the multiplier for the bonus round does not apply to the winnings for the poster symbols.
Free Spins
When you hit 4 game logo scatters anywhere in view, the Free Spins feature will be activated, and you will get 10 free spins, with an additional +5 added to that total for each additional scatter that triggered the feature over the minimum of 4(up to 20 FS, at best). The progressive bonus round multiplier grows by one for every cascading win, and you earn an additional 5 or 10 free spins depending on how many scatter symbols appear while you are playing the feature.
I. D. Parade
The ID Parade feature can only be activated from during the bonus round itself, and in order to get it, you will need to land 3 or more jail cell symbols in a cascade sequence simultaneously. If 3, 4, 5, or 6 jail cell symbols appear, the bonus round will provide you with 1, 2, 3, or 4 selections, and there will be 4 suspects for you to choose from. Within the ID Parade feature, you have the opportunity to win an additional +3, +5, or +10 spins, an increase of +3, +5, or +10 to the multiplier, or cash rewards ranging from 5 to 100 times your original wager.
The Double Chance Feature
Players can also use the Double Chance feature, but doing so will raise the cost of their bets by 25%. In exchange, your chances of triggering the Free Spins feature will go up by a factor of two.
Bonus Buy Feature
And if you want, you can utilize the Bonus Buy Feature to instantly obtain free spins without having to go through any kind of waiting at all. At the cost of 100 times your initial wager, you have the option of receiving either 10, 15 or 20 free spins.
Our Experience Playing Judge and Jury Megaways™
When we first began playing the game, we were met with a charming and colorful Megaways reelset as well as jazz music that had an adventurous tone to it. Since there is a lot of competition amongst the Megaways slot machines, we couldn't wait to find out what set this one apart from the others and how it was distinctive from them all. The subject of the rewards was the one that interested us the most. In order to analyze how well it paid out, we turned to our tried-and-true technique, which consisted of placing a deposit of 200 Euros, lowering the stake to 1 Euro, and playing it for somewhere in the vicinity of 300 times. This allowed us to determine how well it paid out. With the exception of a few wins that were anywhere from 10 to 15 times the amount spent on each occasion, nothing particularly notable happened in terms of rewards throughout the first hundred spins of the slot machine. After all was said and done, the initial attempt cost us a total of 40 euros in losses. We were fortunate enough to catch 4 Scatter symbols during the next one hundred spins, which triggered a round of Free Spins and resulted in a payout that was around 75 times as much as our initial wager. With the assistance of a steady flow of low-sized payouts during the main game, we were able to get back to our initial bankroll. Unfortunately, throughout our last one hundred spins, nothing really remarkable occurred in terms of rewards. The only exceptions were a handful of quite decent payouts during the main game that were somewhere between 10 and 15 times our wager apiece. After a total of 300 spins on this slot machine, our total loss amounted to just around 15 Euros, and we were fairly pleased with the amount of fun that it offered us.
Judge and Jury Megaways™ Verdict
To tell you the truth, there is not a great deal about the design of this slot machine that could genuinely set it apart from other machines in the same category, with the exception of some fascinating bonus features that rewarded us a couple of times while we were playing through the game. On the other hand, the fact that it offers a respectable potential for rewards throughout the free spins portion of the game means that you will have to wait for it if you want to win since bonus rounds do not appear very often. However, you need to play it with great care as it may be analogous to a two-edged sword that, owing to its medium-high volatility, may either make or ruin your whole bankroll in a very short period of time. If I were in your shoes, I'd give this slot a go and see how things turn out. Good luck and have fun!
