Game Review
Jackpot Giant is a Playtech video slot with 5 reels, three rows and an impressive 50 paylines. This slot is playable from 50p to £4 per spin.
Theme
It’s worth taking the time to watch the intro video to Jackpoint Giant as it lays out the theme. The giant has tossed a coin into a volcano and as a result, all the surrounding volcanoes start erupting with gold coins. This sets the scene for the game. Symbols are carved from blocks of stone as well as featuring gold coins, gems and the big man himself. The transparent reels are set above a row of rocks that display the betting information.
Giant Bonus
Landing the volcano bonus symbol simultaneously on reels one and five triggers the Giant Bonus mini-game. Here you will direct the giant to pick three of six volcanoes for cash rewards and a chance to pick again. The giant will toss a coin into your chosen volcano, which will erupt to reveal your prize.
Giant Jackpot Feature
However, the main attraction in this game is the Giant Jackpot feature. The symbol to look out for is the gold wild icon, for when this appears in a straight line across payline one (horizontally along the middle row) it will trigger the progressive jackpot. The jackpot amount you can expect to win is displayed above the reels in the base game. To qualify for the progressive jackpot, you must be wagering the maximum bet amount (£4) for each spin. If you get five wilds in a row, but aren’t lucky enough to have them land on payline one, you’ll be rewarded with a pretty decent 50,000 times your line bet.
Verdict
Jackpot Giant is gorgeously designed and well animated with the bright colours and attention to detail, adding to the overall experience. Players aren’t kept waiting too long, as wins and the giant keeps you entertained in the meantime. It’s little wonder that Jackpot Giant has become one of Playtech’s most popular slots.
