Jackpot Giant Slot

Jackpot Giant is a progressive video slot by Playtech that has turned many reel spinners into millionaires since its release in 2014. Several years ago, the game set the record for the biggest mobile slot jackpot won in the UK after a lucky librarian from Glasgow pocketed a whopping €5.89 million in prize money with a €4 bet.

This legendary Playtech release plays on 50 fixed paylines spread across five reels with three rows. It takes players to prehistoric times and introduces them to the cartoonish giant from the title who will keep them company as they spin the reels. Wilds, scatters, stacked symbols, and a pick-me round are also included in the game which is playable for as little as $/€0.50 per spin.

Jackpot Giant Theme

With Jackpot Giant, Playtech once again demonstrated their ability to create superb video slots. The game takes players back to prehistoric times when primitive humans crafted their tools out of stone. The slot has a cartoonish design but this does not take away from its appeal.

The five transparent reels rotate against a beautifully rendered landscape dominated by luscious green meadows, clear blue skies, rocky mountains, and volcanos. The giant from the title appears in the form of stacked symbols that occupy two vertical positions on the reels. The sound effects are hardly the height of sophistication but still work very well with the prehistoric theme of the game.

How Jackpot Giant Compares to Other Slot Games

Jackpot Giant is one of those progressive slots where players must bet the maximum per spin to qualify for winning the jackpot. This is not the case in Playtech’s newer progressive releases like the games from the Age of the Gods series, for example, where all spinners are eligible for winning a jackpot no matter their bet size.

Any spin of any amount can earn you entry into the jackpot game, including losing ones. Another difference is that the Age of the Gods slots award their jackpots randomly rather than requiring players to form specific symbol combinations on the paylines. By contrast, you must land five wilds on the first payline to win the progressive prize in Jackpot Giant.

Jackpot Giant Symbols and Payouts

The maximum payout players can pocket in the base game amounts to 50,000 times the line bet for five of a kind with the wilds. The second-best payers are the symbols containing the giant’s hand and the pink crystals. Each of these is capable of returning 500 times the line bet for five matches. Next in line are the blue and orange crystals, awarding maximum prizes of 300 and 200 times the line bet, respectively.

The stacked giants occupy two reel positions. Five matches with them yield payouts of 100 and 80 times the stake per line. The low-value symbols contain A, K, Q, and J cut out of stone blocks. All winning combinations pay left to right on a payline bar those created with the scatters that pay in any position.

Bonus Features Overview

Jackpot Giant is one of those slots that are not overloaded with extra features. The Playtech developers have decided not to include a round of free spins but have compensated for this omission with wilds, scatters, and a bonus game triggered by non-paying bonus symbols. It goes without saying the progressive jackpot is the main attraction in this quirky video slot.

Wild and Scatter Symbols

The substitution symbol in Jackpot Giant is easy to recognize as it contains the word ‘wild’ etched in stone. It replaces all icons with the exception of the scatters and the bonus symbols with the volcano. The scatter is represented by the outstretched hand of the giant filled with gold coins. Scatters can pay in any position for three to five matches without necessarily aligning on a payline.

Giant Bonus Game

The volcano symbols must simultaneously appear anywhere on the first and fifth reels to trigger the giant bonus game. Players must then choose three out of six volcanoes. The giant starts tossing gold coins into the selected volcanoes to make them erupt and cough out their hidden cash prizes. Some volcanoes award additional picks. It is also possible for all of them to erupt, awarding all available cash prizes at once.
