Reel King Potty Slots
Fancy some royally classic spins? Try out Reel King Potty, a classically themed 5-reel slot machine with 20 paylines by Novomatic software. The game is stocked up with many colourful reel symbols, making it a pleasurably visual experience for punters of any experience level.
However, the most attractive thing about these spins is perhaps the prospect of a 250,000 credit jackpot in the base game and bonus game. And that's not mentioning the progressive jackpot which keeps on growing in size until some lucky players comes along to spin the “King Pot” winner.
Royal Spins with a Classic Twist
As far as the theme and design of Reel King Potty goes, players shouldn't expect anything too extravagant. That is because the 5 reels are all decorated with some of the conventional icons from the slot machine genre such as playing card values (10, J, Q, and K) as well as cherries, plums and sacks of gold. The game does draw out the regal court theme of the title with a wild jester hat, a symbol that aims to entertain spinners by potentially completing line wins for all other icons when it appears on the third, fourth and fifth reels.
These icons are adequately bright, bold and colourful, just as any good classically styled gambling game should be. However, the overall aesthetic is a little bit outdated with simple 2D graphics and rudimentary animations.
The Reel Deal
Even though it has the appearance of a retro slot machine, this game plays like any good video slot with a decent number of paylines permanently fixed onto the reels for maximum winning opportunities. There are 20 paylines in total, meaning that players will have to multiply their “Bet/Line” value by that number to calculate the total bet per spin. The available wagers per line range from 2 credits to 500 credits, making for total bets which are as little as 40 credits to overall bets as big as 10,000 credits.
Most of the wins in this slot machine are calculated by multiplying the value of the line bet by the respective multipliers listed in the game's paytable whenever three or more matching symbols appear on a payline from left to right. So, if you line up three cherries or plums, you will receive the lowest win which is a 10x line bet multiplier. The biggest line bet multiplier, on the other hand, is awarded when five bags of gold appear on a payline. You can see all of the wins in-between in the following paytable:
More Ways to Win
Players can win prizes in Reel King Potty in a number of different ways. For a start, there is a chance to double low wins in the base game by playing a 50/50 card-based gamble game. However, the most lucrative wins of all are offered when one of the game's bonus features is triggered.
The first of these bonus features is activated when all 5 reels are spun to reveal yellow reels. This will show the Reel King character himself who presents a special set of 3-reels with a variety of coloured 7 icons. These reels will be spun to potentially form a winning combination in relation to the total bet. Any combination of mixed 7s will award 2x the total bet while three blue 7s will award 5x and three yellow 7s will pay 10x. The most lucrative combination, however, is three red 7s which will fetch a 25x total bet prize.
The second bonus game is triggered whenever all 5 reels are turned red. Again, this will reveal a 3-reel set, but this time with various bronze, silver and gold letters, as well as some special red icons. If players manage to spin a matching set of bronze, silver or gold letters to spell out the word “POT”, then they will win the corresponding progressive jackpot kitty. Three matching red symbols, however, will award the “King Pot” - which is the biggest of them all.
King of the Slots?
If we're going to be honest with you, then we'd have to say that Reel King Potty isn't one of the most spectacularly designed slot machines available on the internet. The game may be colourful and vibrant, but you can easily find games out there with more elaborate design work which draw out more interesting narrative themes. However, this 5-reel slot does have some positive things going for it. Most notably, there is a special bonus games in which players can try their luck on 3 reels to win one of four progressive jackpots.
