The Lure of Jackpots

Jackpots have been part of slot machines since they were still paying out in bubble gum instead of coins, but the appeal isn’t hard to understand. Many people are drawn to the one incredibly lucky spin that might change everything.

Jackpots themselves have changed considerably, of course, and today you can find everything from modest fixed prizes worth a few hundred times your bet to massive networked progressives that sometimes reach eight figures. And you can find plenty of variations in between at real money slot sites.

Personally, we aren’t out for the biggest jackpots. A great theme, interesting mechanics and a little personality can go a long way. These are simply the five jackpot games that managed to catch our attention lately, and that are entertaining enough we keep going back for more.

Divine Fortune Gold – NetEnt

Divine Fortune Gold features five jackpot tiers.

If you were playing slots back when 243 ways to win still sounded impressive, there’s a good chance that you may already have crossed paths with an earlier version of NetEnt’s Divine Fortune. After all, the original game came out way back in 2017 when Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You and Despacito were still tearing up the Billboard Hot 100. But it turns out Ancient Greece never goes out of style.

Land six Cash prizes to trigger either the Bronze, Silver or Gold Spins across the 5×5 grid. Then there are increasingly lucrative features as you work your way up the ladder. Fill one row, and you are awarded the 15x Mini, but fill all five, and that giant Mega Jackpot is yours.

And you aren’t tied down here by a capped award; that Mega keeps growing, literally looming far and away over the other prizes. With ten paylines, low volatility, and a healthy 96.63% RTP, it has other things to offer to the discerning player, but it’s hard to ignore that jackpot.

Hope Unleashed Fortune Rises – Play’n GO

Pandora’s Box holds four fixed jackpot prizes.

Yes, we’ve been on a bit of a Greek theme ever since Odysseus hit the IMAX, but honestly who can blame us? Play’n GO’s Hope Unleashed Fortune Rises is another beautifully rendered Greek-themed slot worthy of considering.

Souls attach themselves to the various symbols, and the more souls you collect, the better your chance of jarring Pandora’s Box open. If you do jigger it loose, you’ll be awarded one of four fixed jackpots that can range from the 5x Mini to the 1,000x Grand. And you’ve got mystery symbols, expanding wilds and respins to entertain you while you wait, unlike Penelope.

With just a 1,234x max win, the prizes at stake aren’t enormous, but the game does have only medium volatility and a 96.2% RTP, which certainly dulls the pain a little. I mean, there are certainly worse things in Pandora’s Box than a 1,000x jackpot according to the legend.

The Blarney Stone – Pragmatic Play

The Blarney Stone can feature either fixed or progressive jackpots

We’ve made the pilgrimage out to Blarney Castle, and while calling it a castle may be just the Irish exercising that well-known gift of the gab, the place is considerably less bright and a bit more strange than Pragmatic Play’s The Blarney Stone might have you believe. Heck, there’s even a poison garden there, though no nightshade or mandrake appear to have made it to the reels.

Pragmatic instead chose to stick with the more thematic and considerably safer leprechauns, red-haired lasses, and, of course, four fixed jackpots ranging from the 50x Small, up to the 1,000x XXL.

You’ll need to land a jackpot money symbol to enter a three-match reveal to trigger one of the four prizes, which can be configured by the operator as either fixed or potentially progressive jackpots.

Again, we have a nice, easy medium volatility and a 94.5% RTP, so it’s simple enough to settle into. And better yet, chasing jackpots here doesn’t require hanging backward from some cold medieval battlement to plant your lips on a stone several hundred strangers have already kissed that morning.

Groovy Knights Dream Drop – Relax Gaming

Six Dream Drop progressives join the disco.

Relax Gaming has finally answered one of history’s most burning questions: what would the Middle Ages have been like with considerably more disco. And the answer is clearly dancing knights, magnificent moustaches, and enough chainmail to have the Village People breathing heavily.

We aren’t sure how much more protection polyester-covered armor might give, but we can say watching Wild Knights dance around the castle in it during respins while building multipliers is something else.

But what we are really here for is the Dream Drop. Yes, Relax has put it into dozens of games now, but in our estimation neither Boogie Knights nor a Mega Jackpot that starts at $1.5 million is something we are likely to get tired of.

And while the 94% RTP isn’t exactly cause for dancing in the streets, errr, castle corridors, we still have a regular 10,000x max win possibility right along with that seven-figure progressive just sitting there waiting for somebody to take it home. You could certainly do worse with your Saturday Knight.

Le King – Hacksaw Gaming

Smokey takes on Vegas with four fixed jackpots.

Hacksaw has sent Smokey to “Spin City,” coifed him out like Elvis, and surrounded him with enough neon to be seen from space. We’re pretty sure we even saw a furry tribute to Vegas Vickie glowing back behind the reels. Which may seem like a bit much, but remember this is Hacksaw we are dealing with.

The jackpots are much easier to explain than the rest of the mechanics, in any case. Golden Squares created by wins can reveal Jackpot Markers, and in turn these can be activated by a Neon Rainbow. Okay, we stand corrected; that certainly wasn’t easier. Still, you can be awarded the 10x Mini, the 1,000x Mega, or even the 20,000x Max Win.

The whole thing is a bit over the top, but hey, it’s Vegas, baby. As usual, Hacksaw commits completely to the bit, which is fine because an Elvis raccoon crooning his way up and down the Strip works much better than one might have initially thought.

The Final Spin

We’ve covered a lot of ground, from an Elvis-styled trash panda warbling his way through the desert night, to over hyped Irish Keeps and ‘ 70s-inspired Castle discotheques, and even a couple of Greek-inspired slots that might have you wondering just what in the Zeus. It turns out that jackpots certainly aren’t limited to just Blazing Sevens anymore.

And whether you prefer a modest fixed amount or dream of landing a life-changing, yacht-buying networked progressive, there’s no shortage of ways to chase one. While the jackpot may get your attention, the game still has to be entertaining enough to keep it. These five manage both, and that’s why they earned a place in our queue, at least for now.
