Royal Potato

It's a mark of creativity when a studio can take a regular everyday item, and construct something fun to play around it. Print Studios has constructed an entire kingdom for their potatoes, one that looks excellent while being playfully silly at the same time. Not only does personifying potatoes inject life into a relatively plain object, but it also helps cushion the blow (slightly) in what can be a ruthless game. Thanks to the reduced-price tag, higher RTP and bigger potential, buying free spins is an even greater temptation than it was inCrystal Golem. Tread carefully, though, because the bonus game was about as volatile as it gets. The first trigger during testing showcased much of what free spins have to offer, rolling their way to a solid 450-500x win, upsizing the potato three times, taking around 20 spins to do so. The next couple of triggers returned less than 20x the bet, the fourth returned nothing at all, whereas the fifth pulled it back with another 3 upsizes and a sizeable payout. From then on, it was a real roller coaster of results. Due to the wild potato's central position, getting it to 3x3 size helps connect multiple wins on each spin, while reaching 4x4 or beyond can turn the game into a real tater bonanza. On the negative side, larger Jumbo symbols do block non-highlighted symbols making it difficult to win from them. The possible elephant in the room is the obvious link to Push Gaming's 'Fat' series. However, since Print Studios has a few ex-Push members in its ranks, is some crossover to be expected? Anyway, Royal Potato does things a little differently. For instance, the Jumbo symbol isn't wild for everything likeFat Rabbit, but it is generally handier than the mystery symbol we got inFat Drac. Like those games, Royal Potato is a real hoot when the Jumbo symbol gets its upsizing on. Keeping in mind SuperSpinners remain in play during free spins, Print has slapped on a30,000xwin cap as a form of growth control. Royal Potato can be tough, yet it can also be highly rewarding and was a fun game to review. The tidy evolution of theFat Rabbitmechanic, the inclusion of multipliers, plus solid stats make this a real French Fry drenched in salt and aioli experience.
