I discovered 3-reel action with a twist in NetEnt’s Trollpot 5000, a highly volatile title with fruit machine DNA and a theme that I found a bit confusing. The simple blue, diamond-patterned reels feature classic lot symbols like lucky 7’s and 4-leaf clovers, with some odd additions like toadstools. A muffled dance track plays in the background but gets louder and faster when you land a win. You could win a cool million from a single spin, with precious treasure pots that deliver massive potential.

As you can see from the image below, the game’s controls are housed in opaque bubbles at the bottom of the reel frame. These include the spin button, Autoplay controls, and bet adjustment, along with additional options for audio and spins speed in the collapsible menu.
Above the reels, you will see the 3 fixed jackpots. Their value is directly linked to the size of your bet.
Nudge
When you land a winning combination on the reels, the 1st reel will be nudged, if a matching symbol is above the payline, bringing the new symbol down and triggering another win. The reel will continue to nudge until no new matching symbols are available, and then the second and third reels will be nudged in the same way. Special arrow symbols can appear while this feature is going, they will reverse the reel’s direction, triggering another series of nudged wins.
Jackpots
When you land 3 jackpot symbols on the payline on the same spin, you will be awarded the smallest jackpot in view. The Mini, Midi, and Mega jackpots pay 20x, 100x, or 5000x your stake, respectively.
I loved Trollpot 5000 slot for its intriguing mechanics and huge potential, but I couldn’t wrap my mind around the theme. From its befuddling name to its mixed-up aesthetics, and EDM soundtrack, the game’s thematic approach is a bit confounding, but it’s bright and cheery enough to be enjoyed. Where this title excels is its use of the basic 3-reel format to integrate some great bonus features and the impressive winning potential of $1 million which you will claim if you land 3 mega jackpot symbols on the payline. To see if you enjoy more smaller-scale slots, why don’t you give Diamond Empire or Disco Danny a shot?
