Agent Jane Blonde Returns from Stormcraft Studios: Slot Review - ready for another mission?

It’s time to return to the exciting world of espionage and intrigue in this highly-anticipated sequel to the classic Microgaming slot Agent Jane Blonde. This slot has been a long time coming as the original game was released way back in 2005! This time around Microgaming has partnered up with Stormcraft Studios to produce this game. Agent Jane Blonde is still saving the world from danger as the best spy in the business but we now find out that she is also raising a family on top of that! Let’s accompany Jane on her latest top-secret mission to see what cash prizes are waiting for us as we spin the reels in this slot?

Agent Jane Blonde Returns is a 5 reel slot with 15 paylines that comes with Sticky Wilds, Respins, and Stacked Wilds.

Special Features

Surprisingly, this game does not feature many bonus features such as Multipliers, Bonus Games, or even Free Spins. The first feature to talk about is the Wild symbol which is naturally represented by an image of Agent Jane Blonde. This symbol like most Wild symbols, substitutes for all other symbols apart from the Scatter to help form winning combinations on the reels. It comes stacked in the game and can appear up to 3 symbols high on the reels.

The Scatter symbol is illustrated by an image of the game logo and when you land 2 or more of these symbols anywhere on the reels then you will trigger the Respin feature. Once activated, all Scatter symbols will transform into Wilds and will lock into place for the duration of the feature. Respins continue until there are no Wilds left on the reels or when every symbol position displays a Wild. Wins are then awarded for the triggering spin and final reel result. We should also mention that the Scatter symbol does not appear during Respins.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

Agent Jane Blonde Returns features a highly polished retro-style presentation which is more than welcomed when you compare to the dated graphics of the original slot. The game takes place in front of a city landscape at night with tall skyscrapers and glowing purple lights in the distance. Symbols are wonderfully rendered onscreen and consist of Agent Jane Blonde in a variety of outfits such as Stealth, Spy, and Scuba. There are also symbols that are crucial to Agent Jane Blonde’s mission including Cars, Hi-Tech Watches, Guns, Passports, and Laptops. The animations are smooth as symbols fly by the reels and are highlighted nicely by a bright pink neon frame when part of a winning combination.

The music is catchy with a slow techno style soundtrack playing in the background. It complements the Spy theme perfectly.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game features 15 paylines, an excellent RTP of 96.45%, and a low maximum payout worth 300X your total bet.

Our Verdict on Agent Jane Blonde Returns

Agent Jane Blonde Returns is produced by software studio Stormcraft Studios in association with Microgaming and we are happy to report that it is every bit as good as the original slot. This game features top-notch graphics, an atmospheric soundtrack, as well as action-packed gameplay as Agent Jane Blonde returns to the field to stop the bad guys once more. Unfortunately, it does not have that many bonus features to highlight as all you will find here are Stacked Wilds and Respins which is a bit of a surprise when you consider the original slot offers Free Spins as well as a Gamble mode. The top prize for this game is a rather low 300X your wager which can be won on every spin or respin. Variance-wise, we found this slot to be quite Low so you will find that wins occur quite often but they do tend to err on the small side.
