King Cashalot Jackpot

Graphics

Gone are the classic slots symbols favoured by so many of King Cashalot’s contemporaries. They are replaced instead by lush artwork depicting one of this king’s feasts.

It’s cartoonish fun, as a Knight seeks out the Princess’s hand and the King and Queen scoff amusedly. Foodstuffs of varying degrees of fancy make up our game symbols, while the guests of the feast entertain a-plenty with chintzy animations when they complete winning combos.

So, too, does the Jester Scatter, grinning and dishing out jazz hands when we land two or more of him.

Gameplay

If we want to hit King Cashalot’s progressive jackpot, we need to be spinning at max bet on all nine paylines - 2.25 per spin. It’s lower than some of Microgaming’s other progressive jackpots, and with this jackpot potentially reaching the millions it’s tempting to say the least. But Microgaming pulls a masterstroke in its inclusion of the King Cashalot Wild and the dedicated Bonus Game.

The King proves he is a generous ruler at heart, doubling our wins when he completes winning combos.

The bonus game is triggered by landing three Dragon Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4. In the king’s private chambers, he offers us the pick of any of his treasure chests. If we don’t like the coin win revealed, we can swap our choice for a different chest, but we only have three choices so we must choose wisely.

Verdict

With bounteous treasure to be won during the base game - on top of the glittering progressive jackpot prize - it’s small wonder that King Cashalot remains one of Microgaming’s most played jackpot slots.

With fingers at the ready it’s time to don your fancy garb and lick your lips at the prospect of getting stuck into this king’s feast shiny feast.
