Another Live Game Show-Everybody's Jackpot Live- Play-Tech

[Garf79]

Play-Tech continue the innovation with this new release, Everybody's Jackpot Live is a Slot/Game Show Hybrid! And unlike Pragmatics Candy Land there is no wheel wheel, Candy Land uses their Sweet Bonanza slot as a bonus round but Everybody's Jackpot uses the slot as the main feature and the bonuses are triggered by landing scatters!

                                  

Everybody's Jackpot is made up of four 3x3 slots, to get a win with the reel symbols they must land on a Pay line inside the respective 3x3 grid. The scatters however can land on any of slots and 3 trigger a bonus. The bonus is selected randomly at the start of each spin and there are 4 that you can hit.

                       

The bonuses are of course the main draw of this game as a line of the top symbol which is the male figure only pays 25x, so theoretically the biggest base game win would be 100x which is a line of the top symbol on each of the four slots.

Everybody's Jackpot also features a daily jackpot which can randomly be triggered at any point during the day, there is also a Grand progressive jackpot that has to be won before it reaches a certain amount! I think these two jackpot features will see people returning to the game frequently, especially when the Grand Jackpot is close to landing!

The CGI that Play-Tech has produced is a bit ropey in my opinion and the host doesn't quite fit in with the animated graphics in the base game slot or even any of the bonus rounds. But I guess it is not easy to fit a human being into essentially a virtual world, maybe an animated host may have worked better.

                                                             

The Free Games bonus is triggered by landing 3 or more scatters across the for slots. 3 scatters gives you 5 Free Games and 8-10 scatters gives you a massive 30 Free Games. During the Free Games bonus there is always a wild on the reels, this makes getting wins a lot easier and the wins accumulate until the Free Games are over.

                                                        

Walter's Bubble Bar see's the return of Walter the caterpillar that we saw featured in Play'Techs Live Wonderland Wheel, this is a hold and spin bonus with limited spins! 3 scatters gives you 3 spins and 8-10 scatters gives you 8 spins. During the bonus you have to collect pictures of Walter and get them to stick. The more pictures you get the bigger the prize. The max win here is 400x or 800x if you have the double up active.

                                                        

The Pick Me Plaza bonus round is a picking game, you have to chose 4 tiles from the 4x4 grid and behind the tiles is a win value. The values range from 3x to 10x, once you have chosen your 4 tiles the amount is revealed and added together. This bonus is pretty crappy if you trigger it with 3 scatters as the more scatters that land gives you a higher overall multi. If you land 8-10 scatters then the total of your 4 picks is multiplied by 10x.

                                                             

And last but not least is the Block Bonus round and this bonus has the biggest potential by a long way (apart from the progressive jackpots) The Block is another picking game and this time you have to navigate your way through the maze from left to right. Each round you have a choice of 3 tiles to pick, behind the tiles you have 3 symbols, the move on arrow, the move on and collect arrow and the collect game over symbol.The more scatters that trigger this bonus the better as it awards an overall multiplier up to 10x. The further you progress the higher the prizes get and the max win on the Block is almost 7000x with the double active. The double feature costs more each spin of the base game slot but doubles prizes in the bonus.

Overall Everybody's Jackpot is a brave attempt at crossing slots with a game show, we are still most certainly in the early years of online game show development and with technology, computer power and internet speed all getting better we will inevitable see this area expand and grow. This attempt from Play-Tech is quite a good one and if you like spinning slots communally and hoping you hit a jackpot then this game is for you. Everybody's Jackpot live has an RTP range from 94.25% to 96.75% which is pretty fair, the maximum possible win is 6750x with the double up activated, without it is 3375x.
