Jack Potter Xmas Slot Review
The online casino world has its very own wizarding savant at last. Jack Potter (the bootleg version of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter) is here to turn Christmas into an even more magical affair - thank god.
Listen, if you've read any of my reviews, you’ll know that I’m not the biggest fan of Christmas slots. They’re overdone, and I think software providers could have just a touch more ingenuity.
Slapping a new skin on an old game isn’t exactly the height of creativity, but sometimes it’ll do in a pinch.
But putting a couple of Jingle Bells on the reels does not a festive game make. Jack Potter Xmas slot from Onlyplay is a pretty clear example of this phenomenon.
Still, I actually quite enjoyed this slot! Grinch that I am, the lack of distinctly Christmas elements made it easier on the eyes.
Gameplay
Drawing from the original version, Jack Potter Xmas slot continues with its 3x3 reel layout. It offers 5 paylines and various features to keep things interesting.
The symbols are pretty standard, with a triple 7 Wild substituting for all symbols except the Jack Potter Scatter. Classic fruit symbols and gold bells further occupy the reels.
The RTP is 95.34%, and this game has a high volatility rate - expect big wins!
The bet limits range from €0.50 to €30, and the maximum win is set at a whopping €305,760.
The game’s graphics don’t feel particularly Christmassy. If the snow-covered coins and candy cane reels were missing, there wouldn’t be anything to discern this slot from its normie predecessor.
It’s pretty evident that this game has just been re-skinned.
Features
The feature I’m most excited about is the Jackpot round. There are 5 Jackpots available, ranging from mini to minor, mega, major, and grand. The grand Jackpot offers the largest payout.
Landing 3 or more Jack Potter symbols on the reels activates 20 Free Spins. The Scatter symbol pays towards the special treasure chest, eventually triggering the Jackpot Game.
The Jackpots are only available during the bonus round and cannot be activated during the main game. The more coins you have in the treasure chest, the higher your chance of triggering the bonus round is.
Performance
I tested Jack Potter Xmas slot on my laptop and mobile phone. It performed well, with streamlined gameplay on mobile and no noticeable lagging or glitches.
Maximum Win
The maximum win is €305,760.
Conclusion
I don’t know if I would call Jack Potter Xmas a “Christmas” slot. While the title might suggest the contrary, there isn’t much that’s festive about it.
I enjoyed the Jackpots, and the Free Spins were solid. They’re available in the non-Christmas version of the game too, so unless you’re really in the holiday spirit, you may want to take a crack at that.
Overall, Jack Potter Xmas is a decent slot - but it’s not going to satisfy any Santa-philes out there.
