Royal Potato 2 Slot Review 2024

Royal Potato 2 from the formidable Print Studios brings us back to the sovereign world of spuds with a follow-up to a game we never knew we needed, but loved anyway.

The original Royal Potato was one of the early indicators of Print Studios’ prowess in innovation and imagination, and since then, they’ve proven themselves time and time again. They’ve played with mechanics that merge the popular world of gaming with the world of slots, and they’ve tried new things that others dare not.

Royal Potato marks the first sequel for Print Studios with Pine of Plinko 2 to follow suit later in the year, but what can players expect from a slot where regal potatoes live harmoniously in their little kingdom of dirt? Big things, and big wins thereafter.

Royal Potato 2 has retained much of the personality of the first game but added mechanics make it even more formidable.

Royal Potato 2 Base Game and Features

Royal Potato 2 is a 5-reel Video slot with 30 fixed pay lines. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

SuperSpinners

Across the reel set is 14 SuperSpinners in a 3-4-3-4 formation. Each time a win passes through an active SuperSpinner, its total win value will be multiplied by the value shown on the SuperSpinner. Each SuperSpinner Multiplier differs with each spin.

Royal Levy

During the base game, King and Queen Potato symbols can randomly trigger the Royal Levy feature. Each King and Queen symbol can award random Cash Prizes of up to 500x your bet, as well as entry to the Spud Spins Bonus round with 10 Free Spins.

All Cash Prizes awarded will be automatically multiplied by the sum total of all active SuperSpinners for that spin. The Royal Levy feature can trigger whenever 2 or more King or Queen symbols are present on the reels in the base game.

Royal Potato 2 Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols across the reels in the base game triggers the Spud Spins Bonus, awarding 10, 12, and 14 Free Spins respectively.

During Spud Spins, the round will begin with a locked 2×1 Jumbo symbol in the centre of the reel set. The Jumbo symbol substitutes for all other symbols currently active in the symbol panel.

If a win is formed on all active symbols, the Jumbo symbol will grow, awarding additional Free Spins and substitute for more symbols. At the end stage, the Jumbo symbol will fill all reel positions and pay as the highest-paying symbol for each spin.

Potato Sack

Whenever a Potato Sack lands on reel 5 during this time, it will award one of the following awards.

  • Golden Spinner – 1 Random SuperSpinner will turn Golden, receiving a value of at least 10x each spin.
  • Extra Spins – Awards an additional +3 to +6 Free Spins.
  • Synced Reels (Stages 1-3) – Awards 1 additional Free Spin where Reels 1 and 2 are synchronized.
  • Symbol Activation (Stages 4-5) – Activates a random symbol from the panel, awarding +1 Free Spin.

Royal Potato 2: Our Verdict

Royal Potato 2 is a proud and profoundly exciting reimagining of the original game, with common features and new ones that make it familiar, yet new and exciting.

The SuperSpinners and Royal Levy Features stand out yet again as effective and exciting additions, but readers will be looking for differences that make it stand out as a worthy sequel. The Potato Sack feature is the most striking new addition, and its abilities really enable the Royal Potato 2 bonus round to fire on all cylinders with features like Golden Spinner additions, Extra Spins, and more, like Synced Reels and Symbol Activation.

Extra spins and synced reels are features that feel underwhelming in some games, but in Royal Potato 2 it’s a very effective addition. The end goal is to grow the potato as large as possible, and additions like this make it feel much more possible than it was in the original game.

Another nice improvement is the potential. Royal Potato 2 is capable of up to 40,000x, outperforming its predecessor by a whopping 10,000x

Overall, we think Royal Potato 2 is bigger and better than the original in every conceivable way. UK players may not be able to enjoy the extra bonus buy features that Print Studios has included, but there is still enough variety to make it a great choice.
