Jackpot Giant Slot (Playtech)

The Jackpot Giant slot is played with 5 reels, 3 rows and 50 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are created or formed when you land 3 or more matching symbols across any of the paylines. Symbols need to appear from left to right starting from the leftmost reel. With only the highest win paid per payline, you need 2 or more of the Wild symbol. Regarding the Scatter, these pay in any position on the reels.

When it comes to bet options, you can play Jackpot Giant from as little as 50p a spin (1p per payline) to as much as £4 a spin. To win the progressive jackpot, you need to play at £4 per spin (more details on this below). Use the plus and minus buttons below the reels to change your bet. Players outside the UK can opt for Autoplay (up to 99 auto spins) as well as Turbo Mode (for quicker spins).

The Jackpot Giant RTP rate is 94.22%. With the only RTP rate available, it’s below the 96% online slot game average. However, it’s a progressive jackpot slot with 2.98% contributing to the jackpot. This means the actual RTP rate is 91.24%.

Medium volatility, Jackpot Giant comes with a high 58.89% hit frequency rate. This means a winning combination will land every 1.69 spins on average. Triggering a bonus feature occurs every 105.41 spins on average. 

In terms of win potential, the Jackpot Giant slot comes with a progressive jackpot with the highest win recorded to date at £9.4 million. Excluding the jackpot, the max win is 50,000 times your total bet. The max win probability is 1 in 871,125 spins.

With a Stone Age/prehistoric theme, the Jackpot Giant slot was released by Playtech on the 20^th of December 2014. Being an older release, the graphics look a little dated. The setting is rather tranquil and grande with green fields, mountains, volcanoes and blue skies in the backdrop.

Bold yet simple, the cartoon-style graphics stand out giving it a real feel-good factor. This isn’t much of a soundtrack which is understated and upbeat.

On the reels, symbols include low-value A, K, Q and J royals which are carved out of stone Higher-value symbols include 2 Stone Age cavemen which appear stacked (2 symbols high) on the reels. Finally, the 3 highest-value symbols are represented by yellow, blue and pink crystals with the pink crystal the best paying. 5 across a payline will reward you to the tune of 10 times your total bet.

Jackpot Giant comes with a Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols. 2, 3, 4 or 5 wilds across a payline pays 0.2, 10, 20 or 1,000 your total bet. Then you have the Giant’s Hand Scatter symbol which is filled with gold coins. 3, 4 or 5 scatters pays 5, 50 or 500 times your total bet. Finally, there is a Volcano Bonus symbol which is key to triggering The Giant Bonus feature (more details below). Below is a list of all symbol payouts and functions:

• Q/J: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.6 or 0.8 x bet
• A/K: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 0.7 or 1.2 x bet
• Caveman 1: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 1.2 or 1.6 x bet
• Caveman 2: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 1.6 or 2 x bet
• Yellow Crystals: 3, 4 or 5 = 1.2, 2 or 4 x bet
• Blue Crystals: 3, 4 or 5 = 1.6, 4 or 6 x bet
• Pink Crystals: 3, 4 or 5 = 2, 6 or 10 x bet
• Giant’s Hand Wild: Substitutes for all symbols + pays up to 1,000 x bet
• Scatter: 3, 4 or 5 = 5, 50 or 500 x bet
• Volcano Bonus: Triggers The Giant Bonus feature when landing on reels 1 + 5

Jackpot Giant Mobile

Remastered using HTML5 technology, Jackpot Giant is available to play on desktop, mobile and tablet devices. Compatible with iOS and Android smartphones, the game is available to play in Portrait Mode which offers a better overall experience for mobile players.

Jackpot Giant has 2 bonus features. The Giant Bonus feature sees you pick up to 6 volcanoes for cash prizes. Landing Wilds across the middle row will award the progressive jackpot if playing at £4 per spin. If not, you’ll win 1,000 times your total bet.

Giant Bonus

Landing the Volcano Bonus symbol simultaneously on reels 1 and 5 during a base game spin will trigger the Giant Bonus feature. You then choose 3 out of 6 volcanoes by clicking or pressing the desired ones.

The caveman tosses a coin into each chosen volcano, releasing a flurry of gold coins. Each volcano will award the following outcomes:

• Cash Prize
• Extra Pick
• Win ‘Em All

If you reveal the Extra Pick option, you’ll choose a fourth volcano for more prizes. You can choose all 6 volcanos/cash prizes if you get the Win ‘Em All option. Finally, you can only win the Extra Pick or Win ‘Em All option (not both).

Giant Jackpot 

The Giant Jackpot feature is awarded whenever a 5-of-a-kind winning combination of Wild symbols appears on payline 1. In essence, you need to land Wild symbols across the middle row. What you win depends which bet you’re playing with:

• Progressive Jackpot: You need to play with the maximum £4 bet per spin
• 1,000 x Bet: Anything less than £4 a spin will net you a 1,000 times bet win

If you have deep enough pockets at play at £4 per spin, expect to win an average progressive jackpot of £4.5 million. Jackpot Giant has created a handful of winners with the biggest jackpot won by a UK player in October 2018. This was £9.4 million (or £9,411,049 to be precise). The current progressive jackpot stands at:

Real-Time Jackpot: £6,531,862.83

The Jackpot Giant slot may look a little dated being released in December 2014 but its underlying objective remains the same: to give you the chance to win a 7 or 8-figure progressive jackpot.

The gameplay is pretty simple with the Giant Bonus feature awarding up to 6 cash prizes from picking volcanos. With the focus on the Giant Jackpot feature, you can only win the progressive jackpot by playing at £4 per spin (the max bet).

Anything less and a 1,000 times bet payout will be awarded if you manage to land 5 Wilds across the middle row. That said, a screen full of Wild symbols will pay a whopping 50,000 times your total bet.

With the progressive jackpot paying an average of £4.5 million, Jackpot Giant doesn’t award its jackpot regularly. When it does hit though, it will be worth it. However, you do need to play at £4 per spin which is out of reach for most players and pockets.

If you take Playtech’s Age of the Gods slot, the graphics and gameplay are much better with 4 free spins features based on various ancient Greek gods. Offering 50,000 times bet max win potential, there are also 4 progressive jackpots to be won. You can win these randomly and, importantly, with any stake.

Other Progressive Jackpot Slots

If you want the chance to win 7 or 8-figure progressive jackpots, you have plenty of options. The obvious choice is Games Global’s Mega Moolah which is the world’s most popular jackpot game. It’s paid out nearly €600 million with the biggest jackpot paid at €18.9 million in October 2018. The average jackpot is over €6.69 million every 49 days. Games Global has created a Mega Moolah slot series with 14 games to choose from.

The other option is NetEnt’s Mega Fortune which has a luxury theme. Offering free spins with a multiplier of up to 5x, it comes with 3 progressive jackpots. The Mega Jackpot is the one you want with €17.86 million awarded in January 2013. The average jackpot is over £2.96 million and won every 105 days on average.
