Royal Potato - Base Gameplay
The base gameplay on Royal Potato takes place on a 5x4 reel set with 30 fixed paylines. In addition, you will notice the 14 SuperSpinner positions marked in between the reels, which act as multipliers when they contain a numerical value, boosting regular payline wins that pass through them.
Aside from this SuperSpinner feature which is active on every spin, the reels are a mix of high and low paying symbols with an assortment of flowers and potatoes making up the reel strips, with an absence of any wilds until the bonus round.
Royal Levy
During base gameplay, a randomly activated feature called Royal Levy can occur when either the King or Queen potato symbols land in view.
The Flower section above the middle reels illuminates to signal the activation of this feature. Once activated, the symbols are converted into stake based coin values, almost like a mini-version of the coin prizes found on slots such as Razor Shark.
Once these coins have finished spinning, they award a coin value multiplied by the sum of all SuperSpinner values in view.
Generally, these tend to be a low value that helps keep the base gameplay chugging along. Still, rarer Golden Coins affected by Superspinner values can produce some very rewarding base game hits.
Apart from these small base game features, you are essentially looking for the Cute Potato Scatter symbol to land in view, with three or more required to trigger the free spins round.
The bonus game on this machine is where genuine excitement, potential (with wins of up to 30,000x), and innovation (expanding wild potato) are found.

Royal Potato - Free Spins and Special Features
Free Spins
The free spins round is where this slot shines and is triggered by landing three or more Scatters. Additional scatters provide extra starting free spins as follows.
- 3 Scatters - 10 Free Spins
- 4 Scatters - 12 Free Spins
- 5 Scatters - 14 Free Spins
Royal Potato Scatters
A Jumbo Wild Potato measuring 2x1 reel spaces is added to the centre reel when the bonus round begins. To the left of the reels is a set of highlighted symbols. This is a crucial feature to be aware of!
The currently active symbols that can interact and produce wins combined with the Jumbo wild symbol start with the Green and Blue flower symbols. This novel feature can be somewhat confusing until you understand the starting symbols that are active when combined with the Wild Potato are very limited.
Scoring wins with the highlighted symbols illuminates then on the collection meter, when all of these symbols types have been collected, several things occur.
The Potato grows in size, creating more wilds for the remainder of the bonus. Extra spins are awarded for finishing that level (+3). More symbols become unlocked in the collection meter to be collected for this process to repeat.
This whole system can be pretty confusing until you realise the cumulative unlocking and increasing potential that this machine possesses once a good round occurs.
The dream goal is to reach the final level of the bonus round, which sees the Wild Potato grow so large that it covers the entire reel set and awards the highest paying King Potato symbol on every free spin left.
Factor in that the Superspinner feature is also active during the bonus round and can multiply these wins to even greater levels.
