Playtech Inca Jackpot Video Slot Review

Get trekking for lost jungle riches in Inca Jackpot, a 5 reel, cluster pays jackpot video slot from Playtech. This nicely designed game is played using a cluster pays game engine where landing combinations of vertical and horizontal matching symbols creates winners. Also in play are cascading reels where a winning spin leads to a new cascade. Play on all devices from between 50p and £10 per spin.

The design here is quite unusual and really rather good. Set against a misty mountain backdrop populated by foliage and jungle pyramids, you’ll see 6 carved totem mask symbols on the reels. Instead of paylines, winning combination are created by landing 5 or more matching symbols in horizontal or vertical (but not diagonal) clusters. When you land a winner, the successful symbols are removed from play and new ones drop in from above to replace them. These drops keep on coming as long as there’s a winning combination on show.

The larger the combination of matching symbols, the bigger the potential rewards. Payouts start at 0.4 times your bet if you land 5 of the lowest paying green totem in combination. Land 16 or more of the orange totem and a payout of 1,000 times your bet awaits. The symbol you’ll really be hoping to see though is the golden coin icon. Land 5, 6 or 7 of these in a cluster deliver a payout of 50, 500 or 2,000 times your bet.

More than that and you’ll be in line for a share of the jackpot prize. The precise amount here depends on the level of stakes you’re playing at. To be in with a shot of landing the big jackpot prize, you need to be playing at stakes of £10 per spin. Here’s what you can win:

• 50p per spin – 10% of jackpot = £100,000
• £1 per spin – 20% of jackpot = £200,000
• £2.50 per spin – 50% of jackpot = £500,000
• £5 or more per spin – 100% of jackpot = £1 million

There aren’t any other features here. All the action comes from the cascading reels and the potential from the jackpots. If you’re after free spins or a greater variety of extras, then you’ll be better served elsewhere. What Inca Jackpot does deliver is repetitive, well designed action. If the totems work their magic, then this jungle trek could make you a millionaire.

If you want life-changing jackpots though, Playtech has plenty of options including Jackpot Giant and Gladiator Road to Rome (based on the iconic film).
