The Midnight Jackpot Slot Review

How to play

This game has a common setup with five reels and three rows. There are 18 fixed paylines for you to wager on. Your total bet is determined by your coin value, which is then multiplied by those 18 lines. Coins range from €0.01 to €2.00 in value, allowing for a minimum stake of €0.18 and a maximum stake of €36. It’s a decent betting range for new players and casual gamblers.

There are a handful of ways to customize your gameplay. These are available in the clock-gear buttons that rotate with each spin, or on the outer frame menu. Autoplay is available for 10 to 500 spins but is set to 10 as a default. There are three game speeds available – slow, normal, and fast. If you want to turn off the city sounds or the jazz piano music in the background, they can be controlled separately or together.

Symbols and payouts

The symbols in this game are intricate and realistic. The lowest paying symbols are all designed with clock hands and include X, J, Q, K, and A. The higher-paying normal symbols are a silver bell, a golden bell, and a golden star. The wild is represented by a gleaming red ruby. It can substitute for any of the symbols described above, and it can act as a multiplier. When a wild completes a winning line of silver bells, gold bells, or stars, the payout will automatically be doubled. It also awards the highest prize of 2,000x the coin value for five.

The scatter in this game reveals inner clock workings. It pays whenever there are two or more in any position. Five scatters pay 100x your total stake. This video slot is part of Espresso Games’ Jackpot Quest. There are hourglass symbols that appear on the center reel. Each one you land moves your clock a little bit closer to midnight. It’s your goal to reach midnight before other players do to win the pooled jackpot. In paid mode, you can view a user list to see who’s ahead of you.

Best The Midnight Jackpot bonus feature

The Midnight Jackpot bonus feature that makes a big difference to the game is the free spins round. Unlike most other slots, you can win free spins with as few as two free spins symbols on the reels. They can appear in any position and still trigger the feature. The bonus symbol is a dark blue ribbon wrapped in a silver infinity band labeled Free Spins. It doesn’t offer a direct payout or form a winning line.

The number of free spins symbols you land will dictate just how many games you are awarded. Two ribbons award five spins, three ribbons award 15 spins, four ribbons award 50 spins, and five ribbons award an astonishing 100 free spins. Keep in mind that all your free games will be played out at the same stake size as the bet that triggered the feature.

RTP & volatility

The Midnight Jackpot RTP is set to 97.94%. This RTP is very high when compared to other video slots, which average around 95% RTP. Players will likely be quite interested to give this game a try. Espresso Games has not released the volatility of this game. After playing it ourselves, we suspect it might be a medium volatility game.
