Stormcraft: Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume

A blonde agent is back in a slot that Stormcraft created in partnership with Microgaming! This is a sequel that the studio designed to make up for its fans who seek more features. Thus, Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume is the version that reintroduced our blonde agent with a new mission.

Its looks might leave you confused due to its similarities with Agent Jane Returns. With a 5×3 grid, this slot has medium volatility and a better math model. If you missed the bonus games before, especially the Bonus Spins, this is your chance to get those. Most importantly, this version has a bigger payout!

Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume slot design

The famous Agent Jane Blonde in this Max Volume looks very similar to Agent Jane Returns. However, the studio used a purple hue in its blurred city in the background this time instead of blue. This color modification gave the game that night-time to sunrise shifting effect. As for its Max Volume in the title, its exact meaning is still unclear.

Regardless, Stormcraft designed it with a retro synth-wave sound effect like the previous releases. Also, Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume has more volume of features that keep the actions coming. Stormcraft also enhanced its math model even though its visuals and sounds didn’t change much. For instance, its paytable starts with low-paying card suits with different colors from the blue clubs, green diamond, and red spade.

Then the premium symbols include the mobile phone with a key, purse and a cocktail glass, game controller, diamond necklace, and a car. This Max Volume got rid of Agent Jane Blonde’s different disguise looks as its premium symbols. Stormcraft Studios also replaced her stuff as the low-paying symbols with the more standard card suit symbols.

The game’s logo shows up as the Wild symbol while Agent Jane Blonde herself shows up as the Bonus Scatter symbol. This Max Volume version switched the Wild and Scatter symbols in the previous Agent Jane Blonde Returns slot.

Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume features

This slot features the one and only Agent Jane Blonde in a Max Volume version. The reels are filled with familiar Microgaming features including its Rolling Reels, Bonus Spins, Multiplier Trail, and of course, and fixed jackpots. Thus, this 3rd version is no doubt more exciting and entertaining than the first 2 versions that were released last 2008 and 2019. Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume is based on the studio’s Fire Forge engine that became popular with unlimited Respin retriggers.

Let’s see how each feature in Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume works below:

Rolling Reels

Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume is a type of game that is centered around the Rolling Reels mechanic. This is also known as the Cascading Wins or Cascading Reels in other slots. You can trigger the Rolling Reels on every way to win which removes all winning symbols. This process makes way for new symbols that roll in the reels after each spin.

The Rolling Reels feature allows players to experience multiple wins through consecutive wins. As long as there is a winning combination that occurs, it can be triggered during the base game and bonus round. Then, the sum of all your winnings is paid at the end of the feature once there are no more wins.

Wild Symbol

Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume’s game logo represents the Wild symbol in this slot. But in the previous version of Agent Jane Blonde, Stormcraft Studios used the main character as the Wild symbol. This Wild symbol can replace all regular symbols except for the Bonus Scatters just like other typical Wild symbols.

This Wild symbol can appear on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th reels only during the base game and bonus game. However, the Wild symbols can appear as stacked Wilds on the 3rd reel.

Scatter Symbol

Agent Jane Blonde herself represents the Bonus Scatter symbol in this Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume version. But in the previous version, the studio used the game’s logo to represent the Scatter symbol. Unlike the Wild symbol, the Scatter symbol here can appear anywhere on the grid. Just like other typical Scatter symbols, Agent Jane Blonde can also trigger the bonus features in this game.

But in Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume, the Scatter symbol can trigger not just one but two features. You got that right, this badass character can trigger the Bonus Spins and the Jackpot feature.

Bonus Spins

Landing 1 or more Jane Blonde Scatter symbols on all reels activates the Bonus Spins. This is quite interesting since most slots require at least 3 Scatter symbols to activate the Bonus Spins. In this game, 1 is enough so you can experience its Bonus Spins but all reels should have a Scatter.

Light up all reels on a single spin and you can get the feature you’ve been waiting for. This bonus feature allows players to choose 1 from its 3 Bonus Spins rounds below:

• 15 Bonus Spins = this comes with an initial 1x Multiplier which increases by 1x in each spin. This round also has a 1 out of 3 volatility rating.
• 10 Bonus Spins = this comes with an initial 2x Multiplier which increases by 2x in each spin. This round has a 2 out of 3 bonus volatility. 
• 5 Bonus Spins = this comes with an initial 5x Multiplier which increases by 5x in each spin. This round has a 3 out of 3 volatility rating among the 3 bonus rounds.

The Bonus Spins feature includes the infinite Bonus Spins retriggers even Jane Blonde Scatter appears on all 5 reels. You can retrigger and play out these Bonus Spins again from the base game with its increasing Multiplier.

Multiplier Trail

Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume offers a Multiplier Trail feature as part of the Bonus Spins. Each Win Multiplier Trail increases with each spin on each round. To make things more fun, you can also win up to 100x Bonus Spins Multiplier with this feature.

Furthermore, you can also activate the Jackpot Win feature during the Bonus Spins feature. Regardless of the Multiplier’s current value, it is applied to all wins even in the Jackpot at the end of the feature.

Jackpot

The Jackpot feature can be activated using the Scatter symbol just like the Bonus Spins. But this time, you need to land 5 or more Scatter symbols that can appear anywhere on the reels. This feature comes with 3 Jackpot levels such as the following:

• Bronze = this awards 5x your total stake
• Silver = this awards 25x your total stake
• Gold = this awards 100x your total stake

This Jackpot feature increases by the Bonus Spins Multiplier if you triggered it during the Bonus Spins. Most importantly, can trigger this Jackpot feature whether you are spinning in the base game or Bonus Spins.

Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume RTP, betting and prizes

From the previous version’s 15 ways to win, Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume now has 243 ways to win. All winning ways start from the leftmost side of the reel and pay all winning symbols from left to right only. Also, only the highest winning symbols on the adjacent reels are paid on each spin per way.

You can start spinning with a minimum bet of £0.25 up to a maximum of £25 on each spin. Fortunately, Stormcraft Studios improved its math model for this Max Volume version. From its low volatility before, Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume now has medium volatility. This means that its winning combinations will not occur as often as before but its payout is higher.

When it comes to its returns, this slot has an average RTP of 96.0% by default. However, other operators may offer this with a lower return which is set at 94.0% or 92.0%. Thus, its RTP is worth checking out if you don’t want to end up playing with a lower RTP. This is combined with a 31.23% hit frequency and a maximum payout that is up to 10,000x stake.

Achieving this and getting up to £250,000.00 on each spin is possible with the help of its bonus features. So, let’s take a look at its paytable that reveals its paying symbols. The paying symbols start with the low-value icons which consist of the colored card suits. These cards suit pay 1x to 1.6x for matching 3 to 5 similar symbols.

Its high-value icons show Agent Jane Blonde’s things from her car key, car, phone, to her cocktail glass and diamond necklace. These premium symbols pay 2.4x to 6x the stake for 3 to 5 matching symbols on a single spin. Unlike the previous version, the Wild symbol here doesn’t carry its own paying value. However, the special symbols here come in handy especially during the Bonus Spins round.

Conclusion

As a newer version from the Agent Jane Blonde slot series, Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume is currently the best version. The graphic design of this slot is similar to the previous version but the studio changed its paying symbols. The studio also did some switching in the special symbols to make more changes. But when it comes to the sound effects, Agent Jane Blonde: Max Volume has synth-wave audio which is good enough.

Despite its similarities with the previous games in the series, this Max Volume is definitely more loaded. It has a better math model and engaging features that can give you an exciting gaming experience. It has an appealing betting range and less risky gameplay with an average RTP. Thus, this game is worth checking out if you are a fan of Agent Jane Blonde.
