Jack In A Pot

Jack in a Pot is an online slot game developed by Red Tiger Gaming that takes place in a lush green world (it’s been raining!) with leprechaun boots, clovers, horse shoes, rainbows, pints of beer, magic pipes and pots of gold.

Yep, it’s Irish-themed alright! And nicely done with some unique features, vibrant graphics, and a solid set of bonus features.

In this review, we’ll dive into the various aspects of Jack in a Pot, from its look and feel to its gameplay mechanics, symbols, bonuses, and more. Buckle up!

Look and Feel

From the moment you launch Jack in a Pot, you know you’re in the Emerald Isle. The backdrop is set in the lush, green Irish countryside, complete with rolling hills, cows, and birds tweeting in the background. It’s all green, gold, and rainbow hues.

The reel set is designed in a 7×7 grid, which sets it apart from more traditional slot games. Instead of spinning reels, Jack in a Pot has a cluster-pays mechanism, where symbols fall into place in an avalanche rather than spinning on reels.

The animation is smooth, and the cascading symbols, combined with the chirpy background music, all make for an immersive gaming experience. Top marks to Red Tiger on the design!

There’s a big gold pot to the right of the reels. Jack is in it of course, and he will stick his nose out from time to time to see what is going on.

Symbols and Paytable

The symbols in Jack in a Pot are a mix of Irish-themed icons and classic slot symbols. The lower-paying symbols include the standard playing-card symbols and a purple dot which is the lowest payer.

The higher-paying symbols are the bow tie, the horseshoe, the leprechaun boot and the gold four-leaf clover. the pot of gold, the leprechaun’s hat, and the rainbow.

If you land four green 4 leaf-clover symbols you will trigger the free spins and there are four Wild symbols: by the rainbow, the pint of beer (looks like lager, where’s the stout?), the pipe and the hat.

All of these Wilds have special features attached to them when they make up a win. This is one of the coolest things about the game.

Gameplay

Jack in a Pot uses a Cluster-Pays system, where winning combinations are formed by landing clusters of five or more matching symbols.

When you make up a winning cluster, the symbols disappear, allowing new symbols to cascade into place, which can lead to consecutive wins from a single spin.

The game’s volatility is medium, which strikes a balance between frequent smaller wins and the possibility of hitting larger payouts. The cascading reels feature keeps things interesting!

Bonuses and Features

Jack in a Pot shines in the bonuses and features department. The game’s main bonus features are tied to the Wild symbol, which triggers one of four different features when it becomes part of a winning cluster:

Rainbow Swaps: This feature swaps low-paying symbols for higher-paying ones, increasing the chances of forming a big cluster. We love this one.

Magic Pipe: when it forms part of a win, the Pipe Wild triggers Jack to blow on his pipe turning random high-paying symbols into mega tiles.

Beer Reels: When activated, this feature adds beer taps to the top of the screen which pour four new symbols onto the screen.

Hat Trick: when it forms part of a winning cluster, the green hat wild triggers jack’s hat which sucks low-paying symbols from the reels!

Jack in a Pot Free Spins

Then, there’s the free spins round, which is triggered by landing four or more leaves of clover (the green ones) in the base game. You just need four to land in one Avalanche- you’ll collect them in the Free spins clover which is top right.

During the free spins round, the bonus features are more frequent.

Summary

We enjoyed playing Jack in a Pot by Red Tiger Gaming- it’s a refreshing take on the Irish slot genre.

With its charming design, cluster-pays system, and an abundance of bonus features (free spins and four wild features), it’s a game that stands out in a crowded market.

Wombat Score: 4.5/5
