Jackpot Harvest Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Let's see what jackpots you can reap from the latest title from Design Works Gaming, Jackpot Harvest. This title is built on a five-reel, four-row grid featuring 40 always-on paylines. 

Match traditional online slot symbols such as lucky 7s, Bar symbols and some colourful fruit-based symbols.

The wild symbol has a few different purposes in this title, substituting for basic symbols as well as providing the biggest available win on the reels. During the bonus game, however, the wild symbol comes into its own. When free spins are taking place, the wild symbol holds the key to the progressive jackpots which are displayed above the reels, changing as you modify your stake per game.

Theme and Graphics

Looking at the title, you'd be forgiven for thinking the game has a nature based theme, but barring a gentle wavy pattern behind the reels, there is little to differentiate Jackpot Harvest from any old school style of classic slot machine. Gameplay, particularly during the free spins section, does remain a cut above other slots of this kind, however.

In terms of how it looks, this game could have been designed and built 20 or more years ago. Symbols are colourful enough but not particularly well rendered. Everything seems to look a little unclear in terms of the edges of all the symbols, as if the symbols were made too small and then enlarged to fit the title.

Jackpot Harvest RTP and Variance

Jackpot Harvest has long-term average RTP of 97.07%, putting it well above the average mark for games of this type. The medium volatility should bring evenly balanced gameplay, with the opportunity for some rather nice-looking wins. These wins invariably take patient play, as they don't come around too often.

 
How to Play Jackpot Harvest

1. When starting a new game for the first time, it is a great idea to take a look at the paytable. The paytable details the wins that can be achieved when winning combinations are matched on the reels. The paytable only details wins at the minimum bet level - this is not dynamic. To find the paytable, click the three-line menu at the bottom right of the reels.
2. Also in the three-line menu is information about features, game rules and other controls.
3. Set your bet by clicking the + and - buttons to the left of the reels.
4. Spin the reels once by clicking the spin button to the right of the reels.
5. If you want to spin the reels more than once, you can click the auto spin button, which is directly above the spin button. This allows you to spin the reels up to 100 times. Auto spin can be stopped at any time by clicking the auto spin button again.
6. Please play Jackpot Harvest responsibly by setting yourself an affordable and responsible budget for each play session. Do not chase losses and insure you stick within your limits. When the fun stops, stop.

Matching 5x the Wild symbol on a valid payline returns 50x the total bet

Matching 5x the triple 7 symbol on a valid payline returns 6.25x the total bet

Matching 5x the Bar symbol on a valid payline returns 1.25x the total bet

Matching 5x the fruit based symbols returns 0.75x the total bet

All 40 paylines are active at all times, meaning you could win up to 40 times on each individual spin.

Jackpot Harvest Bonus Features 

If you land three Free game symbols on the reels during an ordinary spin, 10 free spins are triggered.

During these free spins, a wild counter appears, counting each iteration of a wild symbol which appears on the reels. Matching 70 wilds returns a jackpot of 125x the total bet. There are smaller jackpots available for collecting between 20 and 40 wilds during free spins.

Free games are able to be increased if a Free Game symbol appears.

Watch out for the arrow symbol which appears during free spins. This increases the jackpot level to a maximum of 10 times.

Jackpot Harvest Review: Our Verdict 

During core play, Jackpot Harvest is an engaging enough title with sufficient paylines to keep spins interesting.

When the bonus feature is triggered, however, this title comes into its own, with the jackpots achieved based on the number of wild symbols you manage to land.

Graphics, on the other hand, look decidedly old-fashioned, and not in a cute retro manner, unfortunately.
