Jackpot Raiders (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Play Jackpot Raiders - A Timeless Legacy

Released in May 2019 by Yggdrasil, Jackpot Raiders is an adventure slot on a 5x3, 20 payline setup. I join Sam Campbel and Sir Bear Buckingham on a trek towards the Sunken City, with two bonus games, two free spins modes, and five progressive jackpots in the mix. The game channels a pulp expedition vibe while 3.8% of each spin feeds the jackpot pool. While the side games entertain, I chase free spins for real payout potential.

I rate the maths model as player friendly: 96.3% RTP with low volatility, so wins drop often though many are modest. The max hit advertised is 4,110x stake, most realistic during the Sunken City or Jackpot Free Spins. It plays smoothly on any device, and the steady base pairs well with the jackpot chase. I pace my stake, aiming to set up collection progress for later bursts, and pacing helps during longer sessions.

Jackpot Raiders - Theme & Symbols

Jackpot Raiders leans into an Indiana Jones style yarn with crisp visuals and a rousing score. I like the way the two leads frame the journey, popping up across menus and features as you push deeper into the plot. The interface is clean, reels are readable, and the map collection track under each reel keeps focus on progression. It feels lively without drowning the core spin rhythm. Sound cues during wins add a bit of punch.

The paytable pairs low royals 10 to A paying about 6.5x to 10x for five, with premium explorer kit. Backpack pays 37.5x, the hat pays 50x, Sir Bear pays 100x, and Sam pays 200x for five of a kind. The Compass Scatter drives features and pays up to 500x for five. There is no wild symbol here, which shifts a lot of value into features and multipliers. Five-card hits land often on low stakes.

Jackpot Raiders slot - Getting started

In Jackpot Raiders, I set stakes between 0.10 and 40 across 20 fixed lines, then spin towards Scatters, maps, and relics. Two Scatters can launch the chest pick, while three or more start a bonus or the jackpot free spins. Progress sticks within the feature layer, so planning around map and relic collection pays off over time. A slice of every spin, 3.8%, goes into the jackpot pot, making sustained play meaningful even on smaller bets.

Jackpot Raiders - Free Spins & More Bonuses

Land two Compass Scatters and the Pick and Click Chest game fires. I pick one of five chests for a prize that can be up to 80 coins, entry to Jackpot Free Spins, the Treasure Hunt bonus, or a random map for collection. It’s a neat way to pace progress without needing three Scatters every time, and those maps are handy for starting free spins with a gem already banked.

Three or more Scatters usually trigger either the Treasure Hunt or Jackpot Free Spins, with five Scatters paying 500x. In Treasure Hunt, I choose Sir Bear for safer, smaller outcomes or Sam for higher risk and bigger prizes. The character gets three river crossings through three levels of chests. Relics and maps drop along the way, and the feature can pay up to 90x in one go when the path breaks right.

Jackpot Free Spins gives 10 spins with a 3x multiplier. During the round I collect coloured gems, and five of the same colour award one of the five jackpots. Each reel shows a map space, and collecting five identical maps across the bonus games can start Jackpot Free Spins with a gem head start. The second mode, Sunken City Free Spins, needs five relics from Treasure Hunt and plays with a 10x multiplier and one of each gem pre-collected.

Jackpot Raiders - Progressive Jackpots

The five progressives are Forgotten, Rare, Mythical, Ancient, and Legendary. Seed values are £40, £200, £600, £1,500, and £15,000, and your bet level nudges the odds when you’re in free spins. I only see jackpots during the two free spins modes, never in base play. Because 3.8% of every spin tops them up, even low stakes contribute, so long sessions can line up nicely with a gem collection that tips a pot over.

Jackpot Raiders - RTP, Volatility, & Max Win

Jackpot Raiders runs at 96.3% RTP with low volatility, so I get frequent hits that keep the balance ticking while I build map and relic progress. The headline payout of 4,110x stake sits in the free spins, especially Sunken City with its 10x multiplier. Outside jackpots, that’s the ceiling I aim for. The jackpot allocation of 3.8% does not drag the maths down much, and the base still feels fair for a networked game.

Jackpot Raiders slot - Final Summary

I rate Jackpot Raiders as a lively, low-variance trek where the real heat sits in its two free spins. The character pick in Treasure Hunt gives me control over risk, and the chest game keeps progress ticking along. Lack of a wild symbol shifts more weight onto features, which suits the design. My one gripe is that free spins can take a while, and the animation pace sometimes stretches sessions.

If you fancy progressive jackpots on a steadier bankroll curve, this fits the bill. I keep stakes modest, ride the base for maps and relics, and look to set up Sunken City when possible. The five jackpots add tension without crowding the maths, and the 4,110x cap is enough for a low-volatility frame. For me, it’s a session slot that rewards patience rather than a quick-hit spinner, on most days I settle for steady returns.
