Six reels showing between 2 and 7 symbols a spin, plus a row of four Barrels feeding an extra symbol into the middle four, and the Barrels are where both the Golden Horseshoe wild and the Jackpot King symbols live. Over 480 spins at 2.00 the Diamonds opened Free Spins four times, and one round…
Across the game, Jackpot King symbols on the Barrels can activate the Jackpot King bonus on any base spin, and every Crown collected ascends the win ladder, which grants bet multipliers. I played 480 spins at a 2.00 stake and triggered Free Spins four times, the first on spin 77 and the last on spin 455.
Irish Riches Megaways Jackpot King is a 6-reel digital slot, made by developer Blueprint Gaming. Each reel shows between 2 and 7 symbols on every spin, and a horizontal reel of 4 Barrels above reels 2 to 5 adds one position to each of those reels. It has up to 117,649 ways and a 96.42% RTP. The game's Megaways engine can, for example, open 10,080 ways on a 2.00 spin and pay 49.60 across them.
It's playable from 0.20 to 100, and on the volatility meter it is someplace between moderate to high variance. Winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the empty positions, with cascades running for as long as new wins form.
As you might have predicted the premiums are depicted by the Ruby and the Pot of Gold. The latter is the most lucrative one, paying 50 times the stake for 6 of a kind, and there is also a Golden Horseshoe wild symbol included. It appears solely on the Barrels. The Horseshoe substitutes for all regular symbols except the Diamond Scatter, which pays anywhere.
The Mystery Symbol feature is activated when Mystery Symbols land on the reels, and all Mystery Symbols transform into the same standard symbol before wins are tallied. The Mystery Symbol is the Four-Leaf Clover, and it never transforms into the Scatter.
15 Crowns unlock the Wheel King. Collected by spinning the reels in the Jackpot King Bonus, those Crowns take the ladder to its top, where the Wheel King is spun. It grants a multiplier or the Royal, Regal or Jackpot King progressive. Deal or No Deal Megaways Jackpot King and Eye of Horus Megaways Jackpot King are other games carrying the same Megaways and Jackpot King names.
4 Diamond Scatter symbols activate the Free Spins bonus. They grant 12 free spins, plus 5 for every additional Scatter, and the Unlimited Win Multiplier begins at x1. It climbs by 1 on every winning cascade, with no ceiling. Diamonds landing on the Barrels during the round retrigger it, 3 adding 5 Free Spins and 4 adding 10, and my round on spin 233 grew to 27 spins that way.
The visuals are immediately identifiable as the trademark Blueprint Gaming artwork I'm accustomed to. That is not a poor thing.
The Minty Breakdown: I wagered 960.00 over the session and won back 756.80, a 78.8% return, and 390.00 of those winnings came from Free Spins.
Only time will reveal if Irish Riches Megaways Jackpot King is to be welcomed by all the slot gamers out there.
