The Jealous Ex
Packed with attitude and escalating tension, The Jealous Ex is a bold high volatility entry in Betsoft's story-driven THE Series. It starts as a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 243 ways to win, but the drama ramps up quickly when the grid expands and the bonus features take over.
The headline act is the Hold & Win Feature, where landing the required number of BONUS symbols can unlock extra reel areas and expand the playfield up to 10×6. In the base game, look for a nudging multiplier wild reel exclusive to reel 3, plus random wilds and an Anger Level mechanic that keeps spins unpredictable. Prefer instant access? Use Buy Bonus to jump straight into Hold & Win.
