Jack in a Pot

Ireland. The Emerald Isle. Home to leprechauns, pots of gold, four-leaf clovers, and about a million different online slots games such as Rainbow Riches. OK, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but Irish themed slots are everywhere you look – definitely a genre in their own right. That makes it quite difficult to stand out, and to do something that hasn’t been done by every other slots developer. Fortunately, Red Tiger Slots Gaming have done just that with Jack in a Pot, a big money progressive jackpot slot that is definitely not your usual Irish slots game.

All the usual elements are there, in terms of luscious green graphics and symbols that wouldn’t look out of place in other Irish themed slots. But there are some key differences in gameplay, not to mention in the structure of the jackpots on offer, that sets this game apart from the crowd.

Firstly, there are no paylines as such – combinations are landed in clusters of adjacent reel positions. The bigger your cluster, the more you’ll end up winning for your spin, as a multiple of your per spin bet. Then there’s also the somewhat unconventional reel set – it’s a 7×7 board, so 7 reels by 7 positions high. With the cluster wins, this works well, giving you the opportunity to match bigger clusters on the base reels.

Betting ranges from 10p to £200.00 per spin, so there’s room to play wherever you feel comfortable on the budget scale. The jackpot win stands at 800x, so with some quick maths, you can work out just how much the game can offer. And that’s just the base game – there’s also the small matter of the progressive jackpots, which can deliver much more sizeable wins.

The return to player percentage is more good news, at 94.15% – huge for a game with progressive jackpots on the line. Bear in mind that most slots that don’t offer progressive jackpots hover around 95%, and you can see that this is good value compared to some other slots games.

To add to the mix, there are also a number of other benefits to be had from landing certain symbols, such as four leafs of the clover on a single spin, or any of the bonusts delivered by the unique feature symbols.

Feature Symbols

The wild symbol in Jack in a Pot can actually be any one of several different symbols. Each of these symbols delivers their own added features, as well as acting as a wild in the usual way to help you complete combinations. Rainbow Swaps wilds using in a combination will then swap out symbols for a higher value matching combination, while Beer Reels wilds gets the beers flowing on one of the reels, totally replacing the symbols to give another chance of forming a winning combo.

The Magic Pipe wild sees symbols upgraded to those of a higher value, while the Hat Trick wild removes all lower ranking symbols from the board, replacing them with higher value symbols to help you land a higher paying combination win.

In each cases, these symbols act likes wilds as normal, as well as holding the key to some of the game’s best bonus features.

Bonuses & Jackpots

The clover leaves are the bonus symbol in Jack in A Pot, and as you’d expect, you need to collect four of these on a single spin in order to trigger the game’s main bonus free spins round. Land all four of these symbols and you’ll get an instant award of free spins – this has to occur on a single spin, or in consecutive free respins, in order to trigger the feature.

During the free spins round, any wilds you collect are added at the end for a final respin, where you can stand to win the bulk of your feature win if things are going your way. This can be a particularly lucrative feature, right at the end of your bonus feature. And with the progressive jackpots hanging over the game, that’s even more reason to give this a spin.
