Jackpotz - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

When you’re playing slots games in search of potential riches, you don’t automatically have to head to the obvious choices, such as the popular Mega Fortune slot. Some gaming fans swear by Free Spins for delivering the goods, whereas others believe that Mystery Symbols are the key to financial success. But sometimes, just a basic game with a generous Jackpot payout is all that’s needed. So how about a basic game with seven jackpot prizes to be won?

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

If you’ve played any Core Gaming demo slots before Jackpotz, you’ll already know that this is a developer that likes to add touches of originality to its games. So for Jackpotz they decided on a space-age theme, complete with electronic soundtrack. It’s sparse, but highly effective and has instant appeal for a modern audience.

Jackpotz RTP & Volatility

The RTP of Jackpots comes in at 94%, which we think is disappointingly low. Of course, it’s only a theoretical average, and every player will have a completely different experience, but it still gives a house edge of 6%. And in our opinion, that’s simply too high, although we know many players will disagree - particularly with the temptation of those seven Jackpot prizes waiting to be won!

When it comes to volatility, the answer is simply that we don’t know. Core Gaming haven’t yet released any official data, and opinions online vary widely. In fact, we’ve seen the game advertised as being both low volatility and high volatility, so it’s not just us who are confused! And for this reason, we recommend you play Jackpotz for free as much as possible, before even considering wagering your own money on the game.

How to Play Jackpotz

Three-reel slots games aren’t particularly complicated to play, and Core Gaming have a reputation for creating intuitive slots interfaces. So follow our quick guide to get started with spinning the Jackpotz reels.

1 Bet selections are made using the buttons to the left of the reels. Tap on the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons to adjust the amount per spin to your liking.

2 The Spin button is directly opposite your betting options, to the right-hand side of the reels.

3 For multiple spins at your current wager, choose Autoplay, which is just above Spin. You can configure the settings for up to 100 spins, as well as setting win and loss amounts to end the feature. You can also stop Autoplay by hitting the button again during play.

4 The game’s menu can be accessed from the ‘I’ button just below Spin. This lets you view the paytable and review the game’s rules. There’s also a Settings button within the menu, that lets you mute the game’s soundtrack.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Jackpotz seems to be aimed primarily at the casual slots player, since there isn’t a massive choice when it comes to placing your bets on the game.<b>Spin the reels from as little as 0.20, with maximum stakes capped at 10.00 per spin.</b>

Unusually for a three-reel slot, this game has five paylines. You’ll need to land three matching symbols across one of them to win a cash prize, shown as a multiple of your stake.

3 x cherries = 1x

3 x oranges = 1x

3 x lemons = 1x

3 x bunches of grapes = 2x

3 x watermelons = 2x

3 x single Bar = 4x

3 x double Bar = 10x

3 x triple Bar = 15x

3 x dollar signs = 20x

3 x Wilds = 500x

Max-win 250,000x

Jackpotz Bonus Features & Free Spins

The Wild symbol brings the biggest cash rewards for landing three matches across one of the five paylines. But it can also stand in for any of the other symbols on the reels, apart from the Mega Streak symbol. So with every appearance, there’s a good chance that it might be able to link up two matching symbols on a payline, generating a win for you.

The Mega Streak symbol only appears on the third reel. And it has to land on the centre line of that reel to activate the Mega Streak feature. But it’s worth the wait, as it awards between 4 - 20 Win Spins. Yes, that’s right - every spin during the Mega Streak bonus is guaranteed to deliver a cash prize! The actual Jackpot prizes in Jackpotz can only be triggered when you play the game at an online casino.

At any time during real-money play the letters that make up the game’s title can randomly light up. Once all of them have been lit, the Jackpot Bonus game is triggered. The rainbow-coloured Jackpot prizes sit below the reels, each one having an accompanying meter. This fills up to show the amount of time that has passed since each one was last triggered. Once the letters in the title have all lit up, the Jackpot Bonus game starts. Now all the usual symbols on the reels disappear, to be replaced by the coloured Jackpots.Spin up three colour matches on one of the paylines to win the associated Jackpot prize.

Overall Review

Pared-down gaming has never looked so good - this game is just crying out be played on a VR headset! But it won’t be to everyone’s tastes for that same reason. The Mega Streak bonus can deliver some decent cash prizes, but the lack of volatility details, combined with a low RTP means we certainly won’t be playing this one at a casino any time soon. Higher-risk players might beg to differ though!
