• the maps: they appear anywhere on the reels and trigger the Free Spins Bonus feature when 5 of them are identical.

The different connections in Jackpot Raiders

How Jackpot Raiders bonuses work

In free games, all winnings are multiplied by 3. There are 3 ways to trigger the free spins bonus feature on Jackpot Raiders :

• when at least 3 Scatter symbols appear at the same time anywhere on the reels, 10 free spins are awarded, as well as cash if 4 and 5 Scatters are collected,

• when 5 identical maps are collected, 10 free spins are awarded as well as a gem jackpot.

• when 2 Scatter symbols appear at the same time anywhere on the reels, the Pick&Click Chest Game bonus function is triggered: the player then selects one of the chests and can win cash, a map, 10 free spins or the Treasure Hunt Bonus Game.

When free spins are triggered, the Treasure Hunt Bonus Game can be obtained randomly. The player must then choose between the characters Sir Bear Buckingham and Sam Campbell. Sir Bear Buckingham offers small but more regular payouts while Sam Campbell pays less often but the payouts will be higher. Three routes will then open up to the adventurer, again with differences in volatility, from the safest to the riskiest. The player has three chances to reach the chest at the end of the chosen route. Three different levels come into play in this feature with increasing potential gains. To climb the level, you must open the chests that contain cash, a card or a relic to access the Sunken City Free Spins.

When 5 relics are collected in the Treasure Hunt Bonus Game, the Sunken City Free Spins bonus feature is triggered. The 10 free spins start with a gem jackpot of each colour collected and a x10 multiplier for each win.

Finally, five jackpots are placed at the top of the reels (Forgotten, Rare, Mythical, Ancient and Legendary). To get one of them, you have to collect 5 identical gems during the free spins. Each colour corresponds to a different jackpot.

Our opinion about Jackpot Raiders

This is yet another original creation from the provider Yggdrasil. After Ozwin's Jackpots, Jackpot Raiders offers a pyramid bonus scheme for a potential jackpot of 4,000 times its starting bet. While this machine offers low volatility, with many regular wins, the various features will be harder to trigger and it can quickly become frustrating not to be able to get some bonuses. Nevertheless, the quality of the animations and the diversity of the interfaces will be enough to arouse players' interest.
