Classic slots never go out of fashion and to celebrate them, NetEnt in 2020 launched a 3-reel, 1-payline slot machine called Trollpot 5000. The number in its name stands for the maximum potential prize you can win while playing it. While it is inspired by one-armed bandits, Trollpot 5000 looks quite modern thanks to its striking visuals and engaging sounds. Its biggest attractions are three fixed jackpots, with the biggest one worth 5,000x the total stake.

The Trollpot 5000 uses a 3x3 layout with the reels coming in blue. If you fancy neon lights, you will love the appearance of the game. The reels are home to a total of 10 symbols, with regular ones being depicted as a lucky 7, star, golden lucky charm, toadstool, four-leaf clover and a bar icon. The jester assumes the role of Multiplier Wild that will complete your winning combos and boost your payouts. On the reels, you will also see three jackpot symbols represented by pots of gold. Each of them features a label that indicates whether it awards a Mini, Midi or Mega jackpot.

Although the game offers a single payline, you will have to wager 2 coins per spin. With the coin value ranging between $0.01 and $35, your total wager can be anywhere between 0.02 and $70 per spin, which makes the game perfect for both penny punters and high-rollers.

While it may look simple at first, Trollpot 5000 is an innovative take on old-school slot machines thanks to its bonus features, starting with the Nudge feature that can be triggered on any winning spin. It will nudge the reel 1 if the top symbol on the reel is the same as the winning symbol. The reel 1 will move down until the icon above the winning one is different. Then the feature applies to the reel 2 and 3.

Wild will replace all regular symbols. If 1, 2 or 3 of these complete a winning combo, your payout will be multiplied by 2x, 4x or 8x. Last but not least, you can hit one of the three fixed jackpots worth 20x, 100x and 5,000x the stake. They can be one after the Nudge feature is over and the top of the reels is filled with jackpot symbols. You need three jackpot symbols in this position to win a jackpot prize which will be determined by the Jackpot symbol that pays the lowest prize. Not quite fair, NetEnt!

We cannot deny that Trollpot 5000 is an exciting classic slot, but we have to admit that its features are a bit more complicated than they could be. At least, that’s what we think. Also, we don’t like the fact that the jackpot of the lowest value will be awarded to you based on the jackpot symbols featured in the top row after the Nudge feature is over. On the other hand, its top prize of 5,000x the bet is juicy and an RTP of 96.19% clearly indicate that the NetEnt 2020 title is worth your time and money.
