Check Out Playtech’s Latest Progressive Jackpot Slot

Date Added:

Playtech has developed more than 60 progressive jackpot slots, all of which are now available to play at several trusted SA online casinos, such as Mansion Casino and Casino.com. If you’re a fan of Playtech slots, and if you’re looking for something new to play this week, then you may want to check out the new Wild Crusade: Empire Treasures online slot machine, which first arrived at these two trusted Playtech-powered casinos in August 2021.

This brand new Middle Ages/Medieval-themed slot is available on desktop and mobile, and it can be launched either instantly in your web browser or from within the Playtech casino download client. It comes with four individual PROGRESSIVE JACKPOTS (the mini, minor, major and grand jackpots), and it also has one big fixed coin jackpot to play for, the latter of which is worth up to 10,000x times your total stake and can be won on any lucky spin.

You will only ever get a shot at winning one of the progressive jackpots from within the Empire Treasures Jackpot feature, which can also randomly trigger on any lucky spin. At the time of writing, the Grand Jackpot is worth around R2,023,103 (which is approximately £98,765). The Major Jackpot recently climbed to more than R262,973 (approx. £12,828). The Minor Jackpot is currently worth around R6,622 (approx. £324) and the Mini Jackpot is now at R2,050 (approx. £99).

The game is available in the real money mode and free play demo mode, and the wide betting range lets you take one spin of the reels from as little as R2.00 ($/€/£0.10) up to a maximum of R7,000 ($/€/£350) per spin. There are no Mystery Symbols, Scatter Symbols or Bonus Symbols, but it does have two different Wild Symbols (the regular Wild Symbols and the Sword Wild Multiplier Symbols), and apart from the Jackpot Bonus, there’s also the Wild Crusade Respins feature to look forward to.

Let’s start by taking a quick look at the respins feature, which will instantly trigger each time a Sword Wild Symbol lands in any position on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5. The Sword Wild comes with a random 1x, 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X multiplier attached, and after it has landed, it will stay on the reels for a series of spins. Each time you hit the spin button, the Wild Multiplier will shift one symbol position to the left, plus the multiplier that’s attached to it will also increase by one value. The Wild Multipliers will keep on shifting across the reels until they have completely moved off the screen, hopefully creating new winning combos as they move.

If you’re lucky enough to trigger the Progressive Jackpot Bonus, you will be taken away from the reels to a second screen, where you get to take part in a fun side game. During this simple picking bonus, all you need to do is click on the shields (from a grid of 20 shields) to reveal hidden jackpot symbols. The aim of this game is to try and find four matching jackpot symbols to win the corresponding jackpot.
