Jack in a Pot Review

Once again, we’re off to the Emerald Isle; home to rolling green hills, mischievous leprechauns, four-leaf clovers, and pots of gold. The game designers at Red Tiger have banked on the ever-popular Irish theme and delivered a feature-rich 7x7 clusters style game that is both immersive and entertaining. So, what exactly is a cluster slot. Winning clusters are formed when 5 or more matching symbols land horizontally and or vertically adjacent to each other. The winning symbols that make up the cluster disappear to allow symbols from above to fall into the empty spaces, potentially triggering even more wins from just one spin. This continuous avalanche / cascading win action keeps happening until no more win combinations are formed.

Jack In A Pot also includes 4 special Wild symbols that trigger unique reel modifiers, as well as a fantastic Free Spins Bonus. We will cover the slot feature in detail shortly.

As mentioned, Jack In A Pot is a medium variance game, with a maximum win potential of 1743x your total bet. Some versions of Jack In A Pot may include Red Tiger’s bespoke Daily Jackpots; deadline-guaranteed progressives which are guaranteed to pay out before a set time each day. Betting starts at €0.20, and peaks at €40.00 per spin (depending on the wagering limits set by the casino).

Slot Features

Special Wilds

There are 4 types of Wild symbols in Jack In A Pot; Beer, Pipe, Rainbow, and Hat. These act as normal Wild symbols that substitute for all paying symbols and help to complete winning combinations.

Each Wild also activates a different feature when part of a winning cluster.

Magic Pipe: When it forms part of a winning cluster, the Pipe Wild triggers Jack to blow his pipe. One or more high-paying symbols then expand to become oversized Mega Symbols (2x2, 3x3, 4x4).

Beer Reels: When it forms part of a winning cluster, the Beer Wild triggers Jack to drink his beer. Taps then start pouring beer on random reels. The selected Beer Reels will be covered in identical symbols for the chance of bigger clusters.

Rainbow Swaps: When it forms part of a winning cluster, the Rainbow Wild triggers a giant rainbow that lands on the reels swapping random tiles for identical symbols.

Hat Trick: When it forms part of a winning cluster, the Hat Wild triggers Jack to throw his hat in the air. It then sucks low-paying symbols from the reels for the chance of bigger wins.

Free Spins

The Free Spins feature is activated when all 4 FREE SPINS Clover symbols are collected on a single spin. These symbols may be collected over consecutive cascading wins, as long as 4 land in total then the player is awarded 10 Free Spins.

All special Wilds collected during Free Spins are activated one after the other once the last spin has taken place, potentially triggering even more wins. This is a terrific Free Spins feature that is fun to play and also loaded with win potential.

The 200 Spins Slot Experience

We played Jack In A Box on a medium spec laptop. The game loaded quickly and ran smoothly.

The intro screen also serves as a paytable which is a convenient and efficient use of graphics. The betting console is intuitive and easy to use and features Autoplay and Turbo Mode. We set our wager to €2.00 per spin, and only triggered the Free Spins feature towards the end of our 200 spin session. It was absolutely worth the wait, as we built up a nice collection of special Wild features and won a total of €178.20 on a €2.00 spin (89x bet). Watch the video below for selected highlights from the 200-spin gameplay session.

Review Summary

Jack In A Pot is a cheerful and engaging cluster-style game that provides a fun alternative to typical 5 reel video slots. While the Irish theme may be a little overused in the world of online slots, Red Tiger has brought something fresh to the table in terms of features.

On top of the 7x7 grid with cluster pays and cascading wins, the 4 special Wilds can trigger 4 unique reel modifiers in the base game and in free spins. The Feature Frenzy in Free Spins is where it’s at, with a frenzy of collected reel modifiers and cascading win action, as well as decent win potential of up to 1743x your bet. We have seen better-looking games from Red Tiger, but the typical Irish theme has a certain charm, and the 7x7 format looks great on mobile!

Pros

• Cluster pays with cascading wins
• Feature-packed slot
• 4 special wilds representing 4 unique reel modifiers
• 10 free spins with collectible reel modifiers

Cons
