Jackpot Hunter review

Theme and Style

If you enjoy Indiana Jones or ever rode the Jungle Adventure ride at Disneyland, this game is for you. Jackpot Hunter takes slot players into the jungle on a quest to bring back treasures from its deepest reaches.

Players are accompanied on their journey by a pair of explorers and will encounter crocodiles, rapids, and dangerous rapids along their route.

Jackpot Hunter is a slot for players who grew up loving H. Rider Haggard novels and Indiana Jones movies.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Once in the jungle, players will notice that Jackpot Hunter has rather mixed graphics. The background is done in a digital painting art style, while the reels have a style that echoes airbrush mural paintings. The mix doesn’t fully mesh, but overall, the visuals are pretty good in their own right.

Each symbol gets its own winning animation that helps bring the world to life, flesh out the two main characters, and make clear the stakes of their adventure.

Meanwhile, the soundtrack appears to be from an entirely different slot. The music has a Caribbean flavor to it, and the win and spin sounds are lifted from a bank of typical slot sounds.

Overall, the graphics, sounds, and animations of Jackpot Hunter are excellent by themselves, but do not add up to a cohesive whole.

Gameplay

Jackpot Hunter has three fixed jackpots at the core of its gameplay. This is facilitated by a five-reel, four-row format. Players can earn typical slot wins along a set of 20 win lines.

However, the real goal is to hit the bonus games or one of the jackpots (details below). There are three fixed jackpots that can be done by first triggering one of the two bonus games.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 5,000x the player’s bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol in Jackpot Hunter has a compass on it, and substitutes for all other symbols with the exception of the Scatter, Bonus, and Jackpot symbols.

If the player lands three Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, they will trigger the Free Spin Bonus. The Free Spin bonus comes with 12 free spins and can be retriggered.

During the Free Spin Bonus, the player can hit the Jackpot symbols. If they hit three or more Jackpot symbols during their Free Spins Bonus, the player will earn a Jackpot. Which jackpot they win is determined by how many Jackpot symbols they hit.

Three symbols earn the player a random choice from the Mini, Major, and Grand jackpots. Four symbols get them either a Major or Grand jackpot. And landing five, guarantees the player the Grand jackpot of 2,500x their bet per spin.

If the player lands three Bonus symbols during the base game, they will trigger the Map Bonus. During the Map Bonus the player spins a wheel to advance a number of steps. Each step can increase the player’s reward — a jackpot or cash win — or earn the player nothing. The game ends when the player has spun the wheel five times.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

Jackpot Hunter slot has a return to player (RTP) of 96.00%, which is exactly our yardstick for an average RTP.

The range of bets for Jackpot Hunter on the site we tested was pretty standard. It went from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€240 per spin.

Jackpot Hunter is a very high-volatility slot. This is great for us because our preferred slot machine strategies involve finding the highest possible volatility and pairing it with a good RTP. Jackpot Hunter hits on both these counts.

Conclusion

While the visual style of the Jackpot Hunter slot is very uneven, it is well put together in each of its details.

The gameplay is solid and the two bonus games are fun, plus the chance to win a massive jackpot is very compelling.

We also like the solid RTP coupled with very high volatility. Overall, we can heartily recommend this jungle adventure-themed slot.
