Just when you thought all themes only took the direction towards ancient Egypt or Greece. Or other popular genres like leprechauns and space, we finally get some relief from the developer, Print Studios, Royal Potato. That’s right; we are about to check out a video slot that focuses on the humble potato. But what more can we expect going forward from this relatively new addition to the online casino entertainment world. And by purely looking at the 96.50% return to player (RTP), high volatility, and 30,000 x your bet, the bones look really good, in fact remarkable. But, let’s see how the unique potato theme does in a video slot, yes? We have to admit; we are curious to see how it plays and works. And as the somewhat unused proverb says. “A lucky person is someone who plants pebbles and harvests potatoes”. So, are Print Studios lucky?

Royal Potato video slot – Bonus Feature
Royal Potato video slot bonus games are in a fact 3. And these are named SuperSpinners, Royal Levy, and, free spins with a growing potato. The latter mentioned free spins you naturally, with the presence of scatters, trigger via 3, 4, or 5 of them. That, in return, gives you the player 10, 12, and 14 free spins. Yet, the selling point of this free spin game in Royal Potato is the growing wild potato. In essence, from free spin 1, a 2×1 wild jumbo symbol land on the middle reel. And every time a winning line formes with the wild and the symbol in the “panel” view (right side of the game grid), the potato grows and awards more free spins. But listen to this; the potato’s growth is mindboggling. As it, when circumstances are exactly right, the jumbo wild symbol can cover the whole game grid.
Side note about the bonus feature
We do need to talk about Print Studio’s own trademarked mechanics, SuperSpinners. Available both during base and bonus game. And the best explanation of how it works in short is. There is a drop-shaped symbol between the reels with a number in it on the game grid. And fundamentally, every time a winning line appears on the game grid on any of these numbers, the win multiplies accordingly. A bit hard to explain and paint a picture of. But it all makes perfect sense when you start spinning. Also, the random feature, Royal Levy, is an instant cash prize win. Triggered via the King and Queen potato symbols, that multiplies with any visible or applicable SuperSpinner multipliers.
Symbols and Scatters
Let’s not beat around the potato plant, shall we? All symbols have something to do with potatoes and depict them in a rather funny way. And in no particular order, the jumbo wild is a potato “undressing” his skin. While the scatter or bonus symbol is a smiley potato with a bonus text as the bottom rocker. Where the higher symbol selection includes the Royal Potato family King and Queen. Followed by the Desirée, Yukon, Russet, and finally Kennebec. And quite cleverly, the lower sections in the Royal Potato video slot are all potato flowers Purple, Orange, Green, and blue. And that’s it.
The real spin experience of Royal Potato
We were off in the Royal Potato video slot saga with our base and recurring spin setting of £1 on 100 test spins. Although, from the start, the trend indicated the wrong direction. However, on spin 20, we triggered the Royal Levy (£12.75). By which followed with some smaller scattered wins. Yet, nothing to get too excited about. And that was our experience throughout. And we cant say that we were not looking forward to getting some free spins going. Still, when the reels are in another agreement, all you can do is praise the developer for the smaller wins and included mechanics. Meaning, even if we never brought home a significant default win, we faired exceptionally well due to the trademarked SuperSpinner feature from Print Studios.
Our thoughts on Royal Potato video slot
Fresh and exciting are the words we would use to describe the Royal Potato video slot. And hopefully, Print Studios going to continue to deliver on its mission statements. “Delivers high-quality slot games, specifically tailored to online casino enthusiasts in search of deeper gameplay”. At least in our mind, the keyword is “deeper gameplay”. And even if it’s a bit outside the scope. But the other 2 games in their library, Crystal Golem, and Book of Destiny boast excellent gameplay and player value. And if we have to give our 2 cents. If you are not closely following Print Studios and its development under 2022 as a gamed developer, you are soon saying to yourself, where did these guys come from? Meaning, the future looks bright for the free thinker if they keep instilling the somewhat new wording to the industry, deeper gameplay.
