Trollpot 5000 Slot Review
The cloning/reskin machine at NetEnt's studio had a colossal amount of use in 2019. The challenge of recreating significant portions of their past slot set for the profitable Asian market. The older slot machine Grand Spinn is being redesigned but there is a little twist to Trollpot 5000. Rather than the standard fruit machine icons, choose symbols with an Irish luck theme. If you've played Grand Spinn, you'll notice a big visceral change. Both the beautifully realistic fruit dishes and the Art Deco design are gone. Sadly, the smooth, foot-tapping melody is also gone, and with it, the atmosphere of the jazz club. Players now have a type of blue arcade setting with a brilliant colour scheme and similarly colourful charms on the reels in its stead. According to NetEnt, they want to recreate the atmosphere of a real casino.

Trollpot 5000 Features
Wild Multiplier. Wild can stand for any other symbols but not for the Up Arrow and the Jackpot symbols. All Wilds with multipliers increase wins.
Blank Symbol. This symbol can be shown in any place on the game field and it doesn’t pay.
Nudge Reels. This feature is turned on whenever there is a win on the game field. In case the winning symbol is the same as the upper symbol on the reel, the reel moves to the down one symbol and the win is paid again. The reel will move until the symbol on top of the winning one is replaced by a different one. The same thing is done with the second reel and then the third reel. If the Up Arrow symbol is at the upper position of the reel, the reel will be moved to the lowest part of the stack of symbols and the win will be added up. After one use, the up arrow symbol will be gone and a blank symbol will take its place.
Jackpot. When all of the reels have stopped moving, there may be Jackpot symbols on the uppermost position of the reels. In case every reel has a Jackpot symbol on the uppermost position of the winning stack, the player gets the Jackpot with the lowest payout.
Our Experience Playing Trollpot 5000
We tested the slot with a bet of 1 EUR for 300 spins and a total of 200 EUR. The first hundred spins gave us a max payout of 45 times the bet. The first 100 spins gave us 55 EUR. The second hundred spins gave us the maximum payout of 6 times the bet. For the second 100 spins, we lost 75 EUR. The third hundred spins gave us the maximum payout of 25 times the bet. For 300 spins we lost 83 EUR.
Trollpot 5000 Slot Verdict
Leaving aside the notion that Trollpot 5000 is a pointless exercise in cloning, there are a number of aspects of the game that followers of this genre would find appealing. On paper, the jackpots are arguably the most obvious component, but the nudge function is a true star since it truly shines when it does. Reels nudge apparently indefinitely, especially if you're fortunate enough to turn up an arrow. If so, you receive a repeat performance with the numbers added in reverse. Contrary to Grand Spinn's more alluring progressive option, Trollpot 5000 is now only offered in the 3 fixed jackpot options. Despite all the benefits, it's a bit odd that NetEnt chose to copy Grand Spinn, the most popular slot machine, from start. Trollpot 5000 is more or less the same style as the original, even if it makes sense to pursue the Yen and Yuan since it's a reskin for the Asian market. Fans of the traditional slot machine model must toss a coin to decide which game to play. There isn't much difference between the two unless you favour Grand Spinn's sweet jazzy tones.
