Trollpot 5000 is a NetEnt slot released in June 2020, with three reels, three rows and one fixed bet line. Every winning combination starts the Nudge feature: a reel moves down one symbol and the line pays again, for as long as the symbol above matches. Multiplier Wilds multiply a line win by 2, 4 or 8, and each of the three fixed jackpots, Mini, Midi and Mega, needs a jackpot symbol on every reel. NetEnt gives an RTP of 96.19% and rates the volatility High.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as NetEnt publishes it.

How Trollpot 5000 works
Three reels of three symbols sit under a bar of three jackpot counters. The single fixed bet line runs across the middle row. Wins pay from the leftmost reel, and only the highest win on the line is paid.
The reels carry red 7s, stars, gold swirls, mushrooms, four-leaf clovers, BARs and pots of gold marked Mini, Midi and Mega. Blanks pay nothing. The Multiplier Wild is a figure in a jester's hat, and the up arrow a turquoise triangle.
How the Nudge feature runs
-
A winning combination starts it
Every winning combination starts the feature. Once the win is counted, if the top symbol on reel 1 matches the winning symbol, reel 1 drops one symbol and the win is paid again. -
Reel by reel
Reel 1 keeps nudging until the symbol above the winning one is different. Then reel 2 does the same, and finally reel 3. -
The up arrow
If an up arrow tops a reel when it stops nudging, the reel goes back to the bottom of its stack of winning symbols and starts nudging and paying again. After one use, the arrow becomes a blank. -
One coin value throughout
The feature plays at the coin value of the spin that started it, and the coin value cannot change while it runs.
The nudges in NetEnt's video
NetEnt's promo video plays at a €1.00 bet. Three BARs pay half the bet. Reel 1, topped by a Mini pot, stays put, while reel 2 nudges twice and reel 3 once, lifting the win to 2x the bet. Reel 3 ends with no pot on top, so no jackpot is paid.
Later, three 7s pay 10x and nudges on all three reels raise the win in steps of 10x to 90x, leaving a Mega pot on top of every reel. The reels drop once more, the three Mega pots land on the line, and the win reaches 5,090x: the 5,000x Mega jackpot plus the 90x. These are promo spins, not a forecast.
Multiplier Wilds
A Multiplier Wild can land anywhere on reels 1 to 3 and stands in for every symbol except the up arrow and the jackpot symbols. It never multiplies a jackpot. A R5 line win becomes R10 with one and R20 with two.
| Multiplier Wilds on the winning line | Line win multiplied by |
|---|---|
| One | x2 |
| Two | x4 |
| Three | x8 |
Three fixed jackpots
The jackpots are coin wins. The counters are from NetEnt's video, at a €1.00 bet and a coin value of 0.50.
| Jackpot | Coin win in the rules | Counter in the video | Times the €1.00 bet, our arithmetic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 40 coins | €20.00 | 20x |
| Midi | 200 coins | €100.00 | 100x |
| Mega | 10,000 coins | €5,000.00 | 5,000x |
How a jackpot is won
When the nudging ends, jackpot symbols may sit on top of the reels. If each reel has one on top of a winning stack, the lowest jackpot shown is paid: three Mega symbols pay the Mega, two Mega and a Midi the Midi, one of each the Mini. Three jackpot symbols on the line of a spin with no win pay the same way.
A jackpot in cash is its coins times the coin value. At two coins a bet, a R2 bet means a coin value of R1 and jackpots of R40, R200 and R10,000.
Each casino sets its own rules for closing the jackpots and for the money in a closed one. Evolution notes that jackpot features "may not be available in all jurisdictions", so check that the game at your casino shows them.

What a 6% hit frequency means
NetEnt gives a hit frequency of 6.00%. If that is the share of spins with a win, a win comes about once in 17 spins over the long run, and about 94 spins in 100 end with nothing.
Symbol payouts follow the bet you choose, and the jackpots follow the coin value. With wins this far apart, pick a bet your budget can carry through long runs of empty spins.
