Royal Potato 2 (Relax gaming) Review

Slot Overview

Relax Gaming and Print Studios released a bizarrely themed game in 2021. This game, which featured a potato theme, was aptly titled Royal Potato. Though bizarre in some way, the slot informed players about a family line in the potato world, which is more like a family line led by the Queen Bee in the bee world.

Recognizing the success of the Royal Potato slot, the two developers who had earlier partnered to design the game decided once again to create a sequel. This sequel was released in September 2023, and it has the same potato theme—maybe less bizarre now as there is familiarity around it.

Key Game Details to Note Before Initiating a Gaming Session

To get a better appreciation of the game mechanics, below is a rundown of some important game details:

• Paylines: The game has a standard 30 paylines – the same as the original.
• Volatility: The volatility level is high – a slight upgrade from the original, which was a medium to high variance slot.
• Max Payout: The max payout is pegged at 40,000x the bet – 10,000 more than the original, which has a max payout of 30,000x the bet.
• Min/Max Bet: The minimum and maximum bets are 0.20 to 25.00 coins per spin, a slight downgrade from the original game, whose max bet was 50.00 coins per spin.
• RTP: Default bet RTP is 96.26% but can rise to 97.48% when the super bonus feature bet is enabled.

Game Objective and Incorporated Reel Symbols

The Royal Potato 2 slot is a game that’s played on a 5 x 4 reel grid. On this grid, the objective is for players to land at least three identical symbols on any one of the available pay lines. Each of the pay lines starts from the leftmost reel position.

The only symbol that doesn’t follow this pattern is the scatter, which pays in any position for as long as there are at least three symbols in view. Whenever this objective is achieved, an impressive monetary payout is churned out.

In descending order from the highest to the lowest, the standard reel symbols that appear on the grid include:

• King Eduardo
• Queen Taterina
• Duchess Wafflecut
• Countess Frytoria
• Baron Roasti
• Lord Chippington
• Purple flower
• Orange flower
• Green flower
• Blue flower

In addition to the standard symbols, the Royal Potato 2 slot does have a few unique icons that perform special powers upon landing on the reels. These are as follows:

• Bonus Symbol/Scatter: This icon is represented by the potato icon inscribed BONUS. It can trigger the free spins feature.
• Jumbo Symbol/Wild: This symbol is represented by the colossal potato icon covering 2 x 1 reel positions. It helps trigger the Spud Spins bonus and acts as a wild, meaning it can substitute for all symbols if the substitution completes a win line.
• Potato Sack: The potato sack symbol is represented by – surprise, surprise – the potato sack. When it lands, it awards any one of four bonus rounds.

Integrated Bonus Features

• SuperSpinners: Some SuperSpinners are located between the reel lines (on the entire grid). All win lines that pass through a SuperSpinner with a number will receive a win multiplier whose value is determined by the SuperSpinner number. The SuperSpinner multipliers apply independently.

• Royal Levy: The Royal Levy is a randomly triggered feature that activates when at least two King or Queen Symbols are on the grid. Upon activation, each King and Queen triggering symbol awards an instant cash prize multiplied by the sum of all current SuperSpinner values.

• Spud Spins Bonus: This feature activates when players land at least three bonus symbols simultaneously. Upon landing three, four, or five bonus symbols, players receive 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively. Landing a jumbo symbol of at least 2 x 2 in size helps players retrigger additional free spins. Also, the jumbo symbol acts as a wild symbol, and the bigger its size, the more symbols it substitutes for. The jumbo symbol keeps increasing in size, and when it does, it may reach a point at which it covers all reel positions at once. At this juncture, it becomes the game’s highest-paying symbol. A potato sack icon may randomly land on the reels during this feature. When it does, it awards a random bonus round, which includes any of the following:

1. Golden Spinner: One SuperSpinner transforms into gold and carries a value of at least 10x.
2. Extra Spins: Awards 3 to 6 additional spins.
3. Synched Reels: Awards one additional spin where reels 1 and 2 spins in sync.
4. Symbol Activation: Activates one random symbol and awards one additional spin.

• Scatter Boost Bet Mode: This manually enabled feature increases the frequency of triggering the Spud Spins Bonus by a factor of 2.45.

• Enhanced Scatter Boost: This manually enabled feature increases the frequency of triggering the Spud Spins Bonus by a factor of 5.37.
