Jackrabbit Jackpots

Jackrabbit Jackpots: Slot Overview

Everyone knows what a rabbit is, right? A charming little furry creature with fluffy ears that bounds about the place gnawing on crops? A jackrabbit, though, is an arguably less well-known term used to describe a long-eared, long back-legged hare that lives in North America, including its western regions. This helps explain why the carrot-munching, six-shooter wielding bunny, Jack, stars in a Western-themed slot titled Jackrabbit Jackpots, designed by software provider Red Tiger.

A jackrabbit fronting a Western slot might be different, but just about everything else on the screen is par for the course. Surrounding Jackrabbit Jackpots' gaming area is a dusty, wooden town built way out in the boonies where the rock formations rise high, cacti flourish, and a hint of lawlessness wafts in the air. Despite the hackneyed audiovisuals, Jack and his flying bullets liven the place up and give Jackrabbit Jackpots a smattering of individuality.

In this game, symbols pay left to right starting from the leftmost side of a 5x3 grid, which has 25 paylines evaluating winning combinations. With no bonus buy option at hand, there is but one way to play Jackrabbit Jackpots, and that is by selecting a stake of 10 c to $/€40 and wailing on the spin button. At best, Jackrabbit Jackpots produces an RTP value of 95% played using a medium volatile math model.

On the bottom level of the pay table are 10, J, Q, K, and A card royals awarding 2 to 3 times the bet for 5 OAK, while the upper tier is made up of bottles, carrot-shaped bullets, boots, and sacks of gold. Premium symbol wins of 5 OAK in size pay 4 to 20 times the stake. The wild poster symbol substitutes all paying symbols. Wilds may appear on the reels or be created by Jackrabbit Jack, and a line of 5 wilds pays 40 times the stake.

Jackrabbit Jackpots: Slot Features

Jackrabbit Jack is also a wild symbol that substitutes all paying symbols, and it always lands on the middle position of the middle reel. When a Jackrabbit Jack symbol lands it creates a random number of wild posters. At the start of each next spin, Jackrabbit Jack moves to an adjacent position. If Jack moves to a position out of view, the feature ends.

Gold Coins

After creating wilds, Jack may randomly shoot at the 3 gold coins above the grid. If any of the gold coins reveal Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega instant prizes, the respective reward of 5x, 10x, 50x, or 1,000x is granted. The same prize can be awarded more than once if more than 1 gold coin reveals the same prize. If a gold coin reveals a Bonus or a Super Bonus, the corresponding free spins round is triggered.

Free Spins

For each gold coin that reveals a Bonus, 7 free spins are awarded. During free spins, Jack cannot leave the reels, and he creates 1 or more wild posters on each spin. It is possible to retrigger the feature and win an extra +7 free spins when a Bonus is revealed by a gold coin. On the spin after free spins, Jack starts on the position he was in at the end of the bonus. If a Super Bonus is revealed during the feature, the round and all remaining spins are played out as super free spins.

Super Free Spins

This feature is triggered by revealing a Super Bonus from 1 or more gold coins. Each Super Bonus coin revealed awards +7 super free spins. If a Bonus and a Super Bonus are revealed simultaneously, the won spins play out as super free spins. During this feature, Jack remains on the grid throughout but creates a minimum of 4 wild posters per spin. A Super Bonus can be revealed by gold coins, retriggering the feature (Bonus will not appear), and instant prizes can be won in both free spins as well as super free spins rounds.

Jackrabbit Jackpots: Slot Verdict

Gamblers might not have needed yet another mid-tier Western slot, but at the very least, Red Tiger has made an effort to splash Jackrabbit Jackpots with a dash of its own personality. It does this by giving the game a jackrabbit-centric approach, and the main character, Jack, isn't just a dashing cow-bunny but a stepping stone to practically every gaming feature. He's there shooting wild posters onto the reels, continuing to do so till roaming off the grid, and he's needed to shoot free spins or super free spins into existence. If you're really lucky, he might even shoot one of those instant prizes for you.

That little summation there is probably enough to convince players if Jackrabbit Jackpots is the right slot for them or not. It's a Western game with a hare angle, yet one which hangs at the mid-lower side of the gambling spectrum, as in, winning potential is modest with features on the less adventurous side, too. Their delivery, via bullets, is quite entertaining, but thrills basically boil down to adding wilds to the reels and shooting a prize. Sure, this package might appeal to certain gamblers, but Jackrabbit Jackpots is one that gets lost, almost stampeded, in the crowded Western space.

To nutshell the game even further, let's say it's about the opposite of something like Tombstone Slaughter. Max winnings are restricted to 2,000x the bet, and an interest in local jackpots will likely be needed if Jackrabbit Jackpots is going to grab anyone's attention. The feisty, shooting up the place shananigans of the leading jackrabbit only go so far, and putting that aside leaves a rather disappointing slot, which gets by adding wild poster symbols to the reels, and maybe scoring an instant prize on the side.
