Pizza Rat Ain’t Got Nothing on Junkyard Kings Slot
Do you remember Pizza Rat? If not, here’s a refresher. In 2015, a guy uploaded a video to Instagram showing a brown rat dragging a slice of pizza down the steps of a subway station in New York. The video went viral, and the internet did what the internet does. By Halloween that year, there were women running around in sexy Pizza Rat costumes.
While Junkyard Kings slot from Hacksaw is unlikely to inspire sexy Halloween costumes, the appearance of rats on the streets looking for that pizza gave me flashbacks of the good old mid-2010s.
It’s Thunderdome time
Hacksaw always has a fun intro to each of its games in the info section. For Junkyard Kings slot, the intro explained that the slot is “where rats rule over a realm of discarded treasures and forgotten relics.” This won’t have any bearing on the game, but I enjoy it when slot providers try to explain the worlds they create.
Junkyard Kings slot makes use of cascading reels, which remove symbols involved in winning combinations, allowing new symbols to fall into the empty spots. When this happens, the position where symbols were removed will get a 2x multiplier. If following the cascade, a winning combination includes one of the positions with a multiplier, the multiplier will be applied to the winning amount.
In the base game, position multipliers will be reset following each spin. However, during a round of free spins, these multiplier positions will continue to spread and grow throughout.
Junkyard Kings slot features four different wild symbols. The doubling and permanent double wilds will double the position multiplier of any position they land on. Walking wild will add wild symbols to any position the Rat King walks over. Finally, the standard wild symbols will act as any other wild substituting for other symbols to complete winning combinations.
The slot’s free spins feature is triggered with three or more scatter symbols or by purchasing a round with the buy bonus feature.
Is Junkyard Kings slot worth a visit?
Junkyard Kings slot offers a shot at up to $300,000 in winnings per spin when betting at the $25 maximum. However, thanks to the healthy 12,000x max multiplier, you can expect to play for a chance at some nice returns even if you’re betting closer to the $0.10-a-spin minimum. The slot features medium volatility, which gives the gameplay a nice balance between small wins that are triggered consistently and the rare big wins. The slot offers an RTP of 96.26%.
The slot offers fantastic graphics, engaging bonus features, and a fun theme. I especially like the Walking Wilds with the Rat King animations. It’s a nice touch. I do wish the world in the background offered more life, but that’s a small complaint. I give Junkyard Kings slot an eight out of ten.
