Royal Potato Slot Review

Royal Potato Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

The Royal Potato slot comes with 5 reels, 4 rows and 30 fixed paylines. 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols across a payline, from left to right and on adjacent reels, will lead to a winning combination.

Bet options vary between 20p and £50 a spin. To the right of the reels, use the arrows in the Bet section to change your stake easily. Outside the UK, you have an Autoplay function where up to 1,000 autospins can be enabled. To the top-right of the main ‘Spin’ button, there is a Turbo Mode button for faster spins.

The Royal Potato RTP is 96.31% which is above the 96% online slots average. It’s not as high as the 96.47% offered in the Reapers slot but it’s decent enough. The volatility is very high (5/5) and you can expect a win every 4.28 spins on average. This is because the hit frequency rate is 23.33%.

In terms of payouts, the Royal Potato slot offers 30,000 x bet max wins. Bigger wins come in the free spins where the Jumbo symbol can grow up to 5×5 in size. Triggering the free spins will take approximately 279 spins with the average win at 90.38 x bet.

Theme – potastic excitement awaits

With a potato theme, the Royal Potato slot takes you on a journey through a world of potatoes that you never knew existed. Yes, quite an odd concept but hats off to Print Studios for trying something unique. Potatoes are extremely popular in modern times due to their versatility and ability to be used in many different food dishes.

With a royal twist, the setting is a potato field which is basked in sunset light. The soundtrack is rather elegant and ties in to the storyline well. On the reels, you will see low value blue, green, orange and purple flowers. Then you have Kennebec, Russet, Yukon, Désirée, Queen and King potatoes which all have been characterised. The King Potato symbol is the best paying with 3, 10 or 50 x bet awarded for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Look out for the Jumbo Potato Wild symbol which substitutes for various symbols during the free spins. It doesn’t appear in the base game. The other symbol of note is the Baby Potato Bonus Scatter which is key to triggering the Free Spins feature (more details below).

Royal Potato Mobile

Released on the 1^st of December 2021, Print Studios used HTML5 technology to produce the Royal Potato slot. Whilst the storyline may be royal and set many years ago, you can enter this tuber world on mobile, tablet, laptop and/or PC devices. It’s compatible with iOS, Android, Windows and/or MAC operating systems.

Royal Potato Bonus Features

The Royal Potato slot has 4 bonus features. There are SuperSpinner multipliers which apply to winning combinations that cross them. With a random Royal Level which applies SuperSpinner multipliers to King or Queen Potato symbols, it focuses on the Free Spins feature. Land wins with the indicated symbols to grow the Jumbo Potato Wild up to 5×4 in size.

SuperSpinners feature

On the reels, you will notice there are 14 SuperSpinner positions. Not active on every base game spin, winning paylines crossing SuperSpinners will trigger the SuperSpinners feature. Winning combinations will have their payout multiplier by the value shown on the spinner. Multipliers apply independently meaning multiple SuperSpinners can be applied to a winning payout.

Royal Levy feature

The Royal Levy feature can trigger randomly. Every King or Queen Potato symbol will reveal a prize which is multiplied by the sum of all SuperSpinner multipliers. This can lead to some serious payouts.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is played when 3 or more Baby Potato Bonus Scatters appear anywhere on the reels. 3, 4 or 5 will award 10, 12 or 14 free spins respectively. You’ll notice that Pachelbel’s Canon by German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel plays in the feature. It’s commonly used at wedding ceremonies. You also get to witness a royal coronation.

Once in, you’ll begin with a sticky 1×2 Jumbo Potato Wild symbol in the middle of screen. It only substitutes for symbols indicated by the symbol panel next to the reels.

If a win is created using the indicated symbols, the Jumbo Potato Wild grows in size and awards additional free spins. As it grows, it substitutes for more symbols shown in the symbol panel. You’ll begin with the Jumbo Potato Wild substituting for the green and blue flower symbols.

Here is a table highlighting which symbols are substituted for and how many extra free spins you can win as well as the Jumbo Potato Wild size:

Basically, wins with the indicated symbols will see the Jumbo Potato Wild grow with more free spins awarded. The Jumbo Potato Wild then substitutes for even more symbols. This continues, hopefully, until the Jumbo Potato Wild grows to 5×4 in size (covering the whole screen). In total, there’s 27 free spins available with the SuperSpinners multipliers also in play.

Lastly, there is a Bonus Buy feature for non-UK players. You can buy your way into the Free Spins feature for a fee of 93 x your total bet. As a result, the RTP also increases up to 97.2% giving you a higher chance of winning. If you’re outside the UK and exercise this option, be aware it makes Royal Potato a very high RTP slot game.

Royal Potato Review Summary – like Push Gaming’s Fat series with a tuber twist

The Royal Potato slot is unique in that it takes you on a journey through a world of potatoes, albeit with a royal angle. Print Studios are clearly thinking outside the box when it comes to their inspiration and not sticking to the tried and test formula they’ve used in Book of Destiny for example.

With high definition graphics and a great soundtrack, Royal Potato hold its own from an aesthetic point of view. I love how the potato symbols have their own personality. In terms of the gameplay, the SuperSpinners feature can see big multipliers applied to winning combinations. The randomly triggered Royal Level feature is a nice addition with King or Queen Potato symbols revealing prizes which are subject to SuperSpinner multiplier totals.

The Royal Potato slot is all about the Free Spins feature though where you will see the influence from Push Gaming. Beginning with up to 14 free spins, wins involving the symbols in the panel will see the Jumbo Potato Wild grow which gives you bigger wins potentially as well as more free spins.

Unlike the Fat Rabbit or Fat Santa slots (by Push Gaming), the Jumbo Potato Wild doesn’t substitute for all symbols at each stage. The incentive is to work your way through the various stages so it replaces more and more high value symbols.

Growing up to 5×4 in size, the key to big payouts are from the SuperSpinner multipliers in essence. They are what can lead to 30,000 x bet max wins. Fat Rabbit and Fat Santa both offer max payouts of 10,223 x bet in comparison.

I did find the Free Spins feature to be quite brutal at times with wins of 25 x bet or lower quite often. That said, it’s a bit of a feast of famine feature. As the Jumbo Potato Wild grows in size, it’s hard to form winning combinations with the indicated symbols as there are less of them on the reels. You will also need to be patient as triggering the Free Spins feature will occur every 279 spins on average.

Overall, the Royal Potato slot is an excellent alternative to Push Gaming’s Fat series. Just hope the SuperSpinner multipliers work their magic during the free spins.

Due to its success, Print Studios has created their very first sequel with the Royal Potato 2 slot game. With enhanced graphics and animations as well as staying true to the original game, it comes with pretty much the same gameplay. However, there are Potato Sack modifiers and bigger wins of 40,000 x bet up for grabs.
