Jackpot Block Party Introduction
Everyone in the neighbourhood is out in force in this retro-styled pokie from WMS. With hot prizes and cool special features, this is one of our best new free online pokies, drawing players from far and wide. Old-school pub game-style graphics give this a veneer of retro charm, but with a clean design that makes it a joy to play.
Layout
Like most normal pokies, Jackpot Block Party is made up of five reels with three rows each, which are arranged in a 5x3 configuration. There are up to 30 paylines to play on, and players can select them in series. A very generous range of prizes is up for grabs, with prizes awarded to lucky players for three, four and five-of-a-kind adjacent symbol matches on an active payline.
All wins are calculated from left to right. In the main game when instances of multiple combinations present at once, only the most valuable match is paid. There are a total of 12 symbols, eight of which are regular types that award prizes for successful symbol matches. The remaining four are assorted special types, and players who find them will unlock the game's special features.
In a nice touch, all of the symbols are related to the block party theme, with objects such as disco balls, lava lamps, turntables, party food and presents.
Prize Table
Of the eight regular prize symbols on the prize table, the present is the most valuable. Finding five of these with a maximum bet can yield an impressive jackpot of 2,000 coins. Next up is the lucky number seven, which is only slightly less valuable, awarding an equally generous top prize of 1,500 coins. Way down at the other end of the scale is the lowly party cake, which is worth a total of 250 coins.
Nevertheless, with multiple winning opportunities and some unique special gameplay features, even these measly amounts can add up to something much, much bigger.
Wild
The first of the special symbols is the wild Block Party logo. This special symbol can be used as a substitute for any other normal type (except for the feature symbols) as part of a winning combination on an active payline. In addition, the wild also awards prizes to players for instances of three, four and five appearing on an active payline. The total prize available from this is a massive 20,000 coins.
Party On
In addition to the regular types and wilds, there are three special symbols that activate the game's bonus block party mode. These appear on reels one, three and five sequentially, and finding three at once in any configuration will trigger the game mode. This needs to be seen to be believed, as the player begins in one area of the party and progresses to the ever-more valuable sections through lucky matches and presents.
In this mode, it is possible to win some incredible rewards, from a wide variety of instant prizes to bet multipliers that range from generous to enormous.
