Wish Upon A Jackpot King Slot Review
Beneath the blossom tree and the waterfall, past the gilded scrollwork and the ribbon banners, Wish Upon A Jackpot King is quietly one of the more generous bonus slots Blueprint have put their name to: not in what it pays, which caps at 1,000x, but in how many different ways it tries to pay you. A 5×3, 20-line fairy tale that refuses to settle on a single bonus round, it hands its storybook cast a round each and lets the Jackpot King Deluxe ladder interrupt any spin on top.
Blueprint Gaming have built the game around 1,000x potential from the Golden Goose, with a three-tier progressive pot that can interrupt any spin. The RTP is 94%. Its closest relative here is Wish Upon a Leprechaun Megaways, a 2019 release we rated.
Base Game & Features
The reels sit on a 5×3 grid with three rows fully visible per reel, and all 20 paylines are always active. Wins form from two, three, four or five matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from the left, and only the highest combination on each line pays. Line wins are multiplied by the bet on that line.
The Wild substitutes for other symbols to help form line wins, but never for scatter or bonus symbols. Scatter and feature wins pay from any position, in addition to line wins, and multiple scatter features can land in a single game.
Fairy Godmother Bonus
The Fairy Godmother can appear during any spin, and when she does there’s a chance her bonus triggers on the spot. Pick a Magic Orb to reveal your wish, and the wishes come with teeth:
- Puss In Boots Wilds jump out of the symbol and turn any symbol next to them wild
- Pinocchio Wild can turn any position on the reels wild
- Gingerbread Man turns any entire reel wild
It’s a random base game modifier with real punch, and it’s the only thing standing between the base game and being a pure waiting room.
Jackpot King Deluxe Overlay
Separately, 5 Jackpot King Deluxe overlay symbols on reels 1 to 5, on any spin and any stake, trigger the Jackpot King Deluxe Bonus. A three-tier progressive ladder sits above the reels throughout play, with the Royal and Regal pots guaranteed to be won by their must-be-won-by values.
Wish Upon A Jackpot King Bonuses & Free Spins
Three Bonus Scatter symbols anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5 award the Fairy Tale Bonus. What you reveal inside it decides which of four rounds you play:
- Rumpelstiltskin starts the Deal Maker Bonus
- Jack and the Beanstalk starts the Beanstalk Bonus
- The 3 Little Pigs start their Free Spins Bonus
- Rapunzel starts her Free Spins Bonus
Rumpelstiltskin’s Deal Maker Bonus
Rumpelstiltskin reveals a contract scroll displaying a multiplier award. Each offer burns one of the five scrolls on the left of the screen.
Press TAKE IT to collect, or LEAVE IT for another offer; the feature runs until you collect or all five offers have been made. It’s a press-your-luck round where the last offer is the last offer.
Jack and the Beanstalk Bonus
Pick Magic Beans to grow the Beanstalk, and keep picking until you reveal Collect, winning the prize at whatever height the Beanstalk has reached. Reach the top of the trail and you choose one of the Golden Goose’s eggs to reveal a Big Win.
3 Little Pigs Free Spins Bonus
During any spin of this round, if any of the pigs appear, any position on the reels can be turned wild, and those wilds stay for the rest of the game. The Big Bad Wolf can blow in and strip every one of those wilds away again.
Free Spins run until the spin counter reaches zero, and the Pig Wizard can retrigger the round after the final spin. Spinnus Repeatoo, indeed.
Rapunzel Free Spins Bonus
These spins run on enriched reels featuring the special Prince Charming symbol. Whenever he lands on reel 5, the Prince climbs the tower and can raise the Free Spins Multiplier.
The round continues until he reaches the top, where you’re awarded the value in his Bonus Winnings panel. It’s the round with no fixed spin count, so the tower climb is everything.
Jackpot King Deluxe Bonus
Once triggered by the five overlay symbols, the reels spin to accumulate Crown symbols and move you up a win ladder. After any spin you choose an icon to reveal one of three outcomes:
- SPIN – spins again, with new Crowns adding to the ladder
- COLLECT – ends the feature with a win based on the total bet multiplier reached
- WHEEL KING – goes straight to the wheel
Collect 15 or more Crowns and you enter the Wheel King anyway: a tombola-style wheel of big win multiplier segments and progressive pot segments. Jackpots can only be won during the Wheel King part, and when one drops it resets to its reserve and starts climbing again. The odds of winning improve as the pot value rises.
Free Spins play on the same 20 lines and the same bet as the triggering game. Autoplay switches itself off the moment you enter any bonus round, hit a loss limit, or a progressive pot is awarded.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
This is a slot you play for the bonus draws, not the reels. The base game plods along in its picture-book glade until the Fairy Godmother or a scatter pull you out of it, and that’s fine, because what you’re pulled into is the point: a different little game every time, from a five-offer haggle with a contract-waving imp to a tower climb that runs as long as the Prince keeps climbing.
That unpredictability is the strength, and it’s a real one – four rounds that genuinely play differently, plus a progressive ladder that can drop on any spin at any stake. The weakness is the ceiling: 1,000x from the Golden Goose is modest, and the pots do the dreaming the game maths doesn’t.
If you like pick-a-path bonuses, retriggerable free spins and the slow build of a jackpot chase, this glade is worth wandering into. Players chasing five-figure multiples will find the magic here runs out early.
