Jack In A Pot Slot

Set for launch in mid-November (2018) Jack in a Pot is a Red Tiger Gaming slot based on the theme of Irish luck, or should we say another slot based on Irish luck.

Truly one of, if not the most overused theme in the entire of the slot game world, Irish luck slots are a dime a dozen at this point and it feels like there’s nothing that can be done to make the concept feel fresh, is that a belief that Jack in a Pot can disprove?

About the slot

Jack in a pot is set on a 7×7 grid with wins being made for collecting clusters of five or more adjacent symbols.

The Cluster Pays mechanic has proved hugely successful for NetEnt since the release of Aloha! Cluster Pays and many other developers have jumped on the bandwagon, with red Tiger being one of the most recent.

The Cluster Pays mechanic, which is similar to the gameplay used in fruit match phone games, definitely adds an instant level of interest from players, but that is no excuse for falling back on an overused concept like Jack in a Pot does.

Leprechauns, card suits, clovers, horseshoes, the images used are all so predictable that even the Cluster Pays engine can’t save this slot from a visual perspective.

Gameplay

The lucky hat plays the part of the wild here, substituting for all symbols to aid with winning combinations, as well as being the highest paying symbol to gain clusters of.

While we don’t know everything about what this slot will bring, de to it being a few weeks out still, expect a free play mode that allows the Cluster Pays mechanic to really come into its own.

Jack in a Pot does very little to move the genre forward, but it’s an entertaining game nonetheless.
