Jackpot Giant - a Playtech Slot

How to play

The Jackpot Giant slot has a classic setup with five reels and three rows. What’s not so typical are the 50 fixed paylines. This helps lower the volatility of the game and increase your chances to win. The bet limits are rather small, which is surprising given the theme of the slot. The minimum bet is €0.50 and the maximum bet is €4.00. This primarily appeals to beginner gamblers and those who prefer to place moderate bets. To help adjust your stake, you can toggle the line bet between €0.01 and €0.08.

Keep in mind that you will only qualify for the progressive jackpot if you’re placing the max bet of €4.00. In addition, all the wins in the game are multiplied by the line bet – bigger wins require bigger stakes. The only customizable feature for the gameplay is Autoplay. You can set the reels to spin between 10 and 99 times, but unfortunately you cannot set any other limits.

Symbols and payouts

There are 12 symbols in this video slot, equally nine normal and three special symbols. The basic symbols include J, Q, K, and A, all of which appear to be carved out of rock. There are also clusters of pink, blue, or orange crystals. As you might expect, the Giant is in fact the biggest symbol in the game. He can land in various positions but can fill an entire reel. There are two symbols featuring him – one depicts the friendly Giant behind a volcano and the other behind a grove of trees.

The three special symbols are the wild, scatter, and bonus. Wilds are labeled as such and written in gold. These are your ticket to the highest base-game pays. If you manage to land five wilds on a payline, you’ll be awarded a jackpot that is 50,000x your line bet. At the maximum line bet of €0.80, you could collect a €40,000 prize on a single spin. If you manage to spin five wilds on line number one, you’ll collect the progressive jackpot. The scatter is represented by a giant handful of gold and pays up to €400 for five. There are also Volcano bonuses. While these aren’t worth a direct payout, they do trigger the Jackpot Giant bonus feature, which we describe below.

Best Jackpot Giant bonus feature

Although there isn’t a Jackpot Giant free spins feature, the Giant Bonus game certainly makes up for that. To trigger this exciting bonus game, you’ll need to spin the volcanic bonus symbol on reels one and five. When you do, you’ll be transported away to a different scene. Here, the giant is waiting among six volcanoes that are about to erupt! You have to choose three volcanoes before they erupt.

What are the prizes he has in store? There are three possible outcomes. First, you could collect three different cash prizes. You could also collect a cash prize and reveal the ability to pick one or two additional volcanoes and win even more cash payouts. The final option is the most exciting – when all six volcanoes erupt simultaneously and reveal six cash prizes.

RTP & volatility

The Jackpot Giant RTP is 94.22%. These odds are slightly lower than the standard 95% that is typical for a video slot. However, many progressive jackpot games are set to much lower RTP, and these are still respectable odds. The medium volatility of this game means that players will be rewarded with frequent small wins and occasional large wins.
