Jack Potter Halloween Slot Review

I like it when certain things get done for me. For example, rather than going down to the river with a bar of soap, it’s far more convenient to throw my soiled tighty whities in the washing machine and let it do its thing. 🧺

Here’s another example. I could live with the tension and stress that builds up in my body, but I prefer going to my local Thai massage and having someone rub it out for me. After she eases the knots in my back, of course. 💆‍♂️

Something that didn’t do the job that I required of it was the Autoplay feature in Jack Potter Halloween slot from Onlyplay. And if you keep reading, you’ll see why this was an annoyance. 😖

Gameplay

If you’ve ever played one of the Jack Potter series, you’ll know you’re in for a visual feast – and this Halloween edition doesn’t disappoint.

Cobwebs, spiders, spook houses, tree branches that beckon with their gnarled fingers, fog – this version of the popular series has it all.

But if you thought this 5-payline game looked cool on a desktop device, I dare you to whip out your phone and check it out on a small screen. It’s simply spectacular in either orientation!

You’ll notice that to the left of the 3x3-reel grid are some static Jackpots that pay out as follows: Mini = 5x your bet; Minor = 20x your bet; Major = 100x your bet; Mega = 1,000x your bet; and Grand = 10,000x your bet.

The largest multiplier in this game is 10,170x and the top prize is €101,700, which is rather low – actually, it’s at least half of what most highly volatile games offer. Lastly, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.
is 95.42%
and there are no currency restrictions.

Before we get into the Features, the last thing to mention is that the Wild replaces all symbols on the paylines.

Features

FREE SPINS:

Hitting 3 Jack Potter Scatters gets you into the Free Spins round with 20 spins.

STATIC JACKPOT:

Scatters can also initiate the Jackpot round. When you land a Scatter in the base game, you'll notice that coins flow into the Jackpot Game treasure chest above the reels. The Jackpot round will kick off randomly, so you never know when the good stuff will happen.

Once you’re in, your objective is to collect crystals, which are the symbols you’ll see on the grid. Each of these corresponds with a specific Jackpot and you’ll need to fill the meters next to each to collect the corresponding reward.

Performance

I kept running up against this problem: If I put the game into Autoplay mode, everything would grind to a halt after a couple of spins. The SPIN button was still red – meaning it was “busy spinning” – but that wasn’t the case. The only way to fix this was to restart the game.

Maximum Win

You won’t need to bet a fortune if you’re into chasing down the top prize; all it requires is €10 a shot (the minimum bet is 50 euro cents). The max multiplier is 10,170x and if you land that at the max bet, you’ll have enriched your bank account by €101,700.

Conclusion

I invariably use the Autoplay feature when it comes to games such as Jack Potter Halloween slot – which only have a Jackpot and Free Spins round.

But that’s a problem with this game because it freezes after a short while, meaning you have to reboot and start from scratch. It’s a major bummer. Maybe you don’t mind constantly fingering your mouse, but I’m lazy and prefer to automate the process.

My other issue is the usual one plaguing so many slots of late; the mismatch between the volatility rate and the top prize.

On the plus side, we’ve got a game that looks remarkably sweet on a mobile device and the game’s simplicity also lends itself to playing on the go.

Jack Potter Halloween slot is a hit-and-miss affair in my books, so you’ll have to decide if you can live with its foibles or if you’re better off looking at other Halloween-themed options.
