Open Sesame (JDB) – Review & Demo Play

Open Sesame (JDB) Review

I've played Open Sesame from JDB on a 5x3 layout with 243 ways. The theme leans into Arabian treasure vibes with jars and chests. The maths comes in High volatility with a reported 96.25% RTP and an RTP range across builds. Base spins hold up while you hunt the feature. Wilds do the usual substitution job. It runs in HTML5 and feels fine on mobile. The headline extra is a Free Spin Bonus that lifts the pace when it lands.

Open Sesame Symbols and Paytable

Scatter pays and triggers; three scatters show x0.08, four pay x0.4, five pay x2. In most builds the trigger sits on reels 1, 2, and 3. Wild substitutes all regular symbols and helps complete ways. Pay evaluations follow 243 ways from leftmost reel, so positions matter less than adjacency. The set also uses a special note during free spins where all wins take the feature multiplier, with one exception covered below. That keeps the maths clear for quick checks.

Top line pays reach x200 for five of a kind, with x20 for four and x3 for three. Mid tier examples include x20, x8, x2, then x10, x3, x1 on a pair of symbols. Lower icons show x6, x2, x0.6, then x5, x1, x0.4, and the bottom line sits at x4, x1, x0.2. All values read as win multipliers on stake patterns seen in the paytable sources. These tiers mirror the tables shown for the title.

Features & Highlights in Open Sesame

Free Spin Bonus fires when OPEN SESAME appears anywhere on reels 1, 2, and 3. You pick a JAR that reveals a free spin multiplier between x2 and x6, then a TREASURE BOX that reveals 8 to 20 spins. All wins take that multiplier during the round, except BEAUTY*5. Extra spins can land during the bonus, with some versions climbing up to a 250 spins cap. Wilds and 243 ways keep the round lively and carry the theme cleanly through the feature.

How to Play Open Sesame

I set my bet within the published 0.25 to 6.25 range and spin. Wins land on adjacent reels from the left, across 243 ways, so placement beats strict paylines. I watch reels 1 to 3 for the scatter phrase, since that is the usual feature key. Wilds fill in as substitutes to complete combinations and lift hit potential in the base. That flow makes base play simple while you aim for the trigger.

When the bonus triggers, I make two picks. First the jar pick sets a win multiplier, most often x2 to x6. Then the chest pick sets the number of free spins, most often from 8 to 20. Those picks define session tempo. The round plays out with all wins taking the chosen multiplier, with the noted exception in the paytable, and retriggers can extend the run well beyond the starting stack.

Open Sesame ships with RTP ranges, so versions may differ by operator. I always check the info panel for the stated RTP and exact paytable before longer sessions. The game loads in JS and HTML5, so it runs well on mobile. Autoplay can keep the base smooth while you chase the scatter. I stick to stake sizes that suit the High volatility pace. That keeps risk in line with bankroll and avoids rapid swings.

Open Sesame (JDB) Attributes

Key metrics look tidy. RTP sits at 96.25% on reference builds, flagged as an RTP range title. Volatility is High, max win quoted at around x1200, and the layout is 5x3 with 243 betways. Release date shows 05/05/2018. The listed bet range runs from 0.25 to 6.25 per spin. Features shown include Wild, Scatter symbols, Free Spins, Free Spins Multiplier, and Substitution Symbols. Hit frequency is not stated on listings I checked.

Tech runs through JS and HTML5 with a small footprint noted at about 8.1 MB on one listing. The theme reads Arabian, with coins, gold tones, beauty, warrior and treasure cues. The game has seen updates and appears in multiple markets with availability changing by region. With RTP ranges in play, conditions can vary, so I check the version shown in the info screen. Betways remain fixed at 243 in the materials.

Open Sesame - Verdict

As a slot specialist, I rate Open Sesame as a High volatility, 243 ways package that shines through its pick based Free Spin Bonus. The jar multiplier up to x6, 8 to 20 spins, and the rare but long retriggers up to 250 spins give it proper punch. The x1200 top on listings frames the ceiling. I come back when I want a clean, mobile friendly JDB build with a clear route to paydays through that bonus.
