Ultimate Ink

Review

This game is set in a tattoo shop, and all the symbols are classic tattoos you’ve probably seen before somewhere. The game was launched across all casinos on the 29th of August 2019. The potential is massive here, and the game comes with 3 different progressive jackpots.

These jackpots have a fixed upper limit where they cannot go higher, which means it becomes very exciting when you see a jackpot closing in on its given limit. The game plays out on 5 reels, 4 rows and 1,024 paylines - if you choose to play with all the reels active, that is. You can choose the number of active reels by clicking on the reel cost above the reels, and this means you can play with only 1 reel if you feel like it.

The main attraction is the free spins feature, and you’ll benefit from multiplier wilds up to 3x, as well as extra spins if you land at least 2 scatters on the same spin. You can win up to 10,000x your stake in the regular game, and the epic jackpot will often climbs as high as £200,000 or above. This is a nice little game for tattoo lovers, and also for people who like a lot of freedom to choose and the possibility of very high payouts.

What symbols are there?

This game is all about tattoos, and the symbols are typical drafts you might find in a real tattoo shop. The skull with decorations has the highest value, and you also find some medium value symbols. Here is the paytable for this game:

• Skull - Pays 7.5x for 5 on a payline
• Sailor girl - Pays 3.75x for 5 on a payline
• Sail boat - Pays 3.75x for 5 on a payline
• Heart - Pays 3x for 5 on a payline
• Anchor - Pays 3x for 5 on a payline
• Card Suit symbols - Pays 2.5x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

You can set your bet level with a combination of a Reel Cost slider and a Bet Per Reel slider. You also get to choose how many reels you want to play with, and you can play with only 1 reel if you want. This gives you a lot of freedom as to how this game is played out, and it can be fun to try different combinations.

The scatter symbol will actually work even if it lands on an inactive symbol, while the rest of the symbols will not. The number of reels you choose to play with will affect the games RTP. If you play with only 1 reel the RTP is 95.93 %, while it increases to 96.47 % if you with all 5 reels activated. Depending on how many reels you play with you can get the following paylines: 4, 16, 64, 256 and 1,024.

Free spins

You trigger the free spins feature on this game when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols on the same spin. This gives you 8, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively, and you can win extra spins by landing at least 2 scatters during the free spins.

In the free spins feature you’ll also benefit from multiplier wilds of either 2x or 3x. Since the multipliers can multiply you can get wins up to 9x with a bit of luck. This makes the free spins feature quite attractive, and well worth waiting for.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

You’ll find 3 different progressive jackpots on this slot, and this is called the Mega Drop feature. The jackpots are Minor, Major and Epic, and each jackpot comes with a fixed upper value it cannot go above. This means that before the jackpot reaches the roof value, it has to be won.

The max win is 10,000 times your stake outside of the progressive jackpots, and this is a very solid potential for a medium to high volatility game. If you play with the highest possible stake, you can pocket up to £100,000 on any given spin here.

Verdict

This game has a somewhat original theme, and we like the 3 progressive jackpots and the free spins feature. However, the game is a bit slow to play, and the whole “choose the number of reels” thing seems a bit pointless. Why would anyone want to play with only 1 or 2 reels, right? Anyway, it’s a decent game, and the potential is quite good even if you don’t think about the progressive jackpots.
