Triple Pot Gold Slot Review
Triple Pot Gold keeps almost nothing in the reels: it’s a game that stores its real money in three fat golden cauldrons perched above them, one blue, one red, one green, each heaped with coins and stamped with an animal relief. Everything the five reels pay by themselves is small change, and the design barely pretends otherwise.
Pragmatic Play have dressed this one up properly, and the presentation does more work than the maths might suggest. Triple Pot Gold runs on a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, medium volatility and a 96.02% RTP, or 96.01% with the Ante Bet active. The max win is capped at 5,000x the bet. It sits alongside the studio’s Asian-flavoured output like Triple Pot Diamond and 5 Lions Megaways, though this one keeps things on a smaller, steadier scale.
Base Game & Features
Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels from the leftmost, with 243 possible ways across the five reels. Stakes run from 0.20 to 240.00 per spin. Only the highest win on each way counts, and wins across multiple ways are added together.
The wild, a gilded 福 symbol, substitutes for everything except the scatter, money and collect symbols. That’s its whole job, and it does it without ceremony. It can’t help you assemble the collect combos either, since the money and collect symbols are outside its reach.
The paytable follows a familiar shape: premium ornaments up top, royals at the bottom. Values are multiples of the total bet.
- Junk/Ship: 2.5x for three, 5x for four, 15x for five
- Lantern: 1.5x, 3x, 10x
- Teapot: 1.25x, 2.5x, 7.5x
- Fan: 1x, 2x, 5x
- Lotus: 0.75x, 1.5x, 3.75x
- A and K: 0.5x, 1x, 2.5x
- Q and J: 0.25x, 0.5x, 1x
It’s a flat paytable. The top symbol pays 15x for a full line, which tells you the symbol wins exist mostly to keep the balance ticking over between collect hits and feature triggers. Everything above the royals is themed: a junk ship, a lantern, a teapot, a fan and a lotus, in descending order of value.
Money and Collect Symbols
The money symbol lands on reels one to four and carries a random value each time it hits, drawn from a set of nineteen possible amounts. Every one of them is a multiple of the total bet:
- 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x and 8x
- 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 60x, 80x and 100x
- 200x and 500x
The collect symbol appears only on reel five. Whenever it arrives alongside money symbols, every value on screen is gathered up and paid in one go. Simple, and effective when the values stack.
The Three Pots
The bat, dragon and tiger scatters are the game’s signature. Each one that hits is collected into its matching pot, sitting above the reels. At random, when one, two or three scatters land on the same spin, the free spins round can trigger with the matching modifiers attached.
The pots are also the game’s entire visual identity, so the naming is honest. There’s no separate jackpot attached to them despite the title’s suggestion; they’re collection meters for the scatter modifiers, nothing more.
Ante Bet
Two bet multipliers are on offer. The 20x multiplier is normal play. The 25x multiplier puts more scatters on the reels and raises the chance of triggering free spins naturally, at the cost of disabling the bonus buy entirely.
The RTP difference between the two modes is a rounding error, so the choice comes down to whether you’d rather chase the trigger with more scatters in play or keep the buy option open.
Triple Pot Gold Free Spins & Bonus Features
The round opens with six free spins and whatever modifiers triggered it. During the feature, money symbols pay immediately without needing the collect symbol on reel five, which quietly removes the round’s biggest bottleneck. Special reels are in play throughout.
The Modifiers
Each scatter type attaches multipliers to specific reels, and they apply to any money symbol landing there:
- Bat: x2 and x3 on reels one and two
- Dragon: x3, x5 and x3 on reels two, three and four
- Tiger: x3 and x2 on reels four and five
- All three active: a x10 multiplier is set on reel three on top of anything already there
Every multiplier arrives in addition to whatever is already on its reel, so a reel can carry stacked multipliers as the round progresses. More scatters can hit during the feature and trigger further modifiers at random, and every time one or more land, three extra free spins are added.
Getting all three pots working is the goal. That’s when reel three picks up the x10 and starts multiplying everything that crosses it.
Buy Free Spins
The round can be bought outright from the base game for 80x the total bet, with the buy running at the same 96.02% RTP as normal play. The triggering spin awards one, two or three modifiers at random, so a bought round can start strong or start thin.
The buy is unavailable while the 25x Ante Bet is selected, which forces a choice between the two routes in. Wins from the free spins round are added to any way wins from the triggering spin.
Both the base game and the feature are subject to the same ceiling: hit 5,000x the bet at any point in the round and it ends on the spot, with the win paid and every remaining spin forfeited.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
Playing Triple Pot Gold means spending long stretches watching the pots fill while the reels pay out loose change, and that slow fill is exactly why you’d pick it over a faster collect game. When all three pots tip into the feature at once, it’s genuinely exciting.
The modifier ladder is the best thing here: every scatter you land mid-round makes the next money symbol worth more, and the round grows under you. The weakness is the start. Six spins with one modifier is a thin opening, and plenty of rounds never get past it.
This is one for players who enjoy the build and can afford to wait out the quiet spells, not for anyone chasing the 5,000x ceiling in a hurry. If the slow-coin appeal of Chinese New Year slots is your thing, the pots here are well worth filling.
