Gold Frontier Jackpots FastPot™ Review

EXTRA FEATURES

As soon as you load the game, you will see a notification about 6 Keys allotted into 6 collections of different colours beneath the grid. These Keys are your way into Jackpot Free Spins. From Jackpot Free Spins you can get Jackpots. Besides Jackpot Spins, there are also a Pick & Click round, and a Treasure Chest round.

The Pick & Click round is a random round triggered by 2 Scatters. When you land 2 Scatters, you get to pick between 5 different Pots. Pick one to reveal a prize. Possible prizes include a prize (1x, 2x, or 4x), a Coin (either a Free Spins token or Bonus Game token), and 1 random Key that you need to unlock Free Spins.

If you land 3 Scatters, you win a Coin Toss. The Coin Toss can result either in Free Spins or the Treasure Chest bonus round. If you win 4 or 5 Scatters, you get an extra payout of 50x and 500x, respectively.

The Treasure Chest round is a round that brings you to 3 chests. Pick one, and it will open. If the chest contains a prize, you will get that prize and then proceed to another round. If it’s empty, the round ends. Now, possible prizes include cash prizes 5x-100x, or 1 random Key for the Free Spins collection.

We finally get to the Keys. These Keys are your key to Free Spins. When you complete one collection beneath the grid, you automatically unlock Free Spins, with 10 rounds and 1 Jackpot Gem. There are 5 different colours of Jackpot Gems. If you land 5 matching Gems, you get a Jackpot. However, during Free Spins, every single win grants you a 3x Multiplier as well.

Another thing to remember is that during Free Spins, no Scatters or Keys land. However, that leaves Jackpot prizes to be won.

Finally, the values of Jackpots are as follows. Blue, Violet, Green, Orange and Red are worth $40, $200, $600, $1,500, and $15,000 respectively. These are their starting values, not total value. They are progressive, and you can win all 5 of them during the round. Lastly, bear in mind that a percentage of 3.8% of your bet goes towards the jackpots. That is why the RTP is lower than in other games.

That’s not something many online slots can boast, so it’s difficult to find games that offer you the same benefits as this game does. Still, there are games that can offer you something close to it.

OUR EXPERIENCE PLAYING GOLD FRONTIER JACKPOTS

We cannot say that Yggdrasil invented the wheel with this one, but they’ve certainly made the Old West interesting. Granted, the game might not be all that appealing to high rollers – even though there are 5 progressive jackpots – nor low rollers – even though the game maximum and variance are low – but it’s a cool combo that makes for an interesting session. The game’s entire focus is on the jackpots, as it should be. But at what cost? Players get a game with cool features and nice looks, but gameplay is still rocky (even though it’s low-variance) and so we are sure many low rollers might avoid the game. Still, we had fun, and we hope the game lives to become as popular as many other Yggdrasil games. After all, Yggdrasil is not known  for making player-friendly games as much as making good-looking games with entertaining gameplay. And that’s precisely what this game is.
