Jack in a Pot review
Red Tiger's 2018 leprechaun slot is set among clovers, rainbows and pots of gold, with Jack as the host who follows the rainbow to treasure. Wins come from clusters on a 7×7 board, and the interesting part is the wild family: four different wilds each trigger a trick by Jack when they sit inside a winning cluster. The numbers are unusual for a modern slot. The RTP is 98.18% and wins arrive on 60.12% of spins.
Four wilds, four tricks
Each wild only acts when it forms part of a winning cluster. At that moment Jack does something that reshapes the board, and the outcome depends on which wild it was.
Pipe Wild
Jack blows his pipe, and one or more high-paying symbols expand into mega tiles of 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 cells. Larger tiles occupy more of the board, which makes bigger clusters more likely.
Beer Wild
Jack drinks his beer and taps pour beer over random reels. The selected reels are covered with identical symbols, which gives a chance of bigger clusters.
Rainbow Wild
A giant rainbow lands on the reels and swaps random tiles for identical symbols, again aiming to build larger groups.
Hat Wild
Jack throws his hat in the air. It pulls low-paying symbols off the reels, so higher-paying ones have a better chance to form wins.
Free spins
Collecting four clover symbols activates the free spins. They can be collected in a single spin or across consecutive respins. The official text gives no number of free spins and no description of how the round differs from the main game, so we cannot say more.
Return, hit rate and max win
The catalogue records one RTP, 98.18%, which means a house edge of only 1.82%. Over a long run that is about $18.20 lost per $1,000 wagered. In short sessions, 100 spins at $0.20 cost $0.36 on average, 100 spins at $1 cost $1.82, and 100 spins at $5, or $500 wagered, cost $9.10.
Volatility is Medium and the hit frequency is 60.12%. The max win is 1,743x the bet, which is $348.60 at a $0.20 bet, $1,743 at $1 and $8,715 at $5. Frequent wins and a modest ceiling go together here: the game trades big top prizes for steadier play.
Similar Medium-volatility slots
Three Musketeers lists the same 98.18% with a 1,445x max win. Agent Royale is lower at 95.77% with 1,760x, Gems Gone Wild (2016) is at 96.14% and 1,706x, and Ten Elements is at 96.16% and 1,836x. Dear Santa reaches 96.76% and 3,580x, and Thor's Lightning is at 96.08% and 1,848x. Jack in a Pot shares the top RTP with Three Musketeers, while its 1,743x ceiling sits in the lower half of the group.

Verdict
Jack in a Pot combines a very high 98.18% RTP, a 1.82% house edge, with Medium volatility and a 1,743x ceiling. Four wilds reshape the board during cluster wins, and four clovers start the free spins. It costs about $18.20 per $1,000 wagered on average, which is lower than most slots, but it remains paid entertainment with a house edge.
