Jiggy’s Pot O'Gold Slot Review

Fruit machine-style slots are typically lacking in bonus features, but Jiggy's Pot O'Gold proves to be an exception. Key in this slot is the middle position on the reels, known as the Frame O’Gold, which is where the Collector and scatter symbols can land. 

Collector Symbol 

As you spin the reels of Jiggy's Pot O'Gold you will notice prize and jackpot symbols. These don’t form winning combinations but can award you with prizes if you landed together with the Collector symbol. The Collector can only land in the Frame O’Gold, and as the name suggests it collects the values of any coins or jackpots in view. Coins can hold values ranging from 0.2x to 100x the stake, while jackpots come in Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega flavours. The Mini jackpot is worth 15x the stake, the Minor 50x, the Major 100x, and the Mega 1,000x. 

Free Spins

Landing the scatter in the Frame O’Gold awards you with a round of 4 free spins. These are played with 9 individual reels (one for each reel position) with all paying symbols removed. Instead the reels only hold coin, jackpot, Cash Booster, golden clover, and Collector symbols. The Frame O’Gold remains active, and is where the Collector can land. 

The free spins add a Cash Booster meter on top of the reels. This grows by 1 whenever you land a Cash Booster symbol, and represents a multiplier that will be applied to coin and jackpot prizes when the Collector lands in the Frame O’Gold. Once awarded the Cash Booster resets back to 1. 

Another addition to this feature is the Reel O’Plenty. Land a golden clover for a spin of this special reel to win one of these prizes: 

• Double prizes
• Extra instant prizes
• Collector symbol
• Extra free spins
• Cash Booster increase
• Jackpot prize 

Mighty Craic Free Spins

Any coin or jackpot symbol landed during regular spins is collected in the Pot O’Gold found on top of the reels. This grows and reacts with each collection, as well as randomly burst to award you with Mighty Craic Free Spins. This is a round of 6 free spins where the Collector will stick to the reels for the duration. 

Jiggy's Pot O'Gold is a unique pairing of the Irish and fruit machines style of slot, one that combines simple gaming with the bonus features associated with video slots. However the question remains - are 3 reels and 3 rows enough for the modern player? Because while the max win is tempting at over 13,000s the stake this remains a low volatility game, with the lack of excitement that involves. It also took us way more than a few spins until we managed to trigger any of the game’s features. Jiggy's Pot O'Gold looks and sounds great but it remains, alas, a bit limited compared to other slots in the Irish genre.
