rocket chimp jackpot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

So just where does the strange title of this online slot come from? A quick glance at the game's paytable and information pages can certainly provide a few clues. The reels are filled with various space-themed objects such as a moon, a space helmet, and a satellite, whilst the astronaut wearing the helmet is (of course) Neil Pawstronger, the first chimp ever to visit the moon! Exciting times we live in, don’t you think? It makes sense that space-themed slots are coming back in a big way right now, with all the media attention focused on Elon Musk’s Starship and NASA’s return to the moon. The “new space race” has given us such hits as Space Stacks, along with the terrifying Pigeons From Space, but I guess only time will tell if it will also give every nation on Earth (except for poor old North Korea) another half-handful of moon rocks to show off in their museums.

We get four high-paying symbols on the paytable of Rocket Chimp Jackpot!, the most valuable of which is the moon symbol which has a maximum payout of 60x the total bet for a full payway of five of a kind. The satellite is a little less valuable, with a top prize of 40x the current stake for all five symbols, whilst the rocket can pay up to 30x for a complete payway. Finally, the astronaut’s helmet will get you 16x your bet back for a five-symbol combination. As for the low-paying symbols, five Aces will get you 12x back in winnings, followed by 10x for the Kings, 6x for Queens, 4x for the Jacks, and 3x for the Tens/Nines.

The minimum/maximum permitted bets have been set at €0.25 and €25.00 per spin, respectively but take note that there are not many other bets available between the two limits. How many are “not many?” … Five. Five bets across a 100x spread. Hopefully, this is something that Mascot Games will look into tweaking slightly in the future.

base game & modifiers

The playfield used in Rocket Chimp Jackpot! has five columns of three rows each, creating the 243 possible payways from the left to the right of the grid. Many games that use this configuration of reels and ways opt to have their symbols arranged into stacks, but Mascot has instead opted to reduce the number of different symbols on the playfield. It’s important to do one or the other; otherwise, you can end up with a game that delivers far too many dead spins. You’ll still need at least three matching symbols starting from the left to score a win with most symbols, although the lowest paying Nine/Ten symbols also pay for just two matches.
