CURRENT JACKPOT $1,762,678

Every kid has a sweet tooth, and for them there's nothing more exciting than whacking a piñata and hearing reams of delicious treats pour out onto the floor telling them they've won. Jackpot Piñatas progressive slot gives adults a chance to relive this childhood thrill – except when the cash comes pouring out, nobody’s going to make you share your prize.

Jackpot Piñatas is a 20-line, five-reel slot game whose bright, cheery colours recall the youthful frenzy that comes when it's your turn to put the blindfold on. Its fun theme includes Mexican food, fireworks, maracas and, of course, the biggest rewards come from hitting one of the game’s pinata symbols. Five bull piñatas in a row can score you the game's enormous progressive jackpot, making you the luckiest player at the party.

You’re aiming to match identical symbols from left to right across your active paylines, betting up to $0.25 on each line (and so up to $5 on each spin). Sometimes two symbols can trigger a small win, but usually you need to hit at least three to win a prize.

The game's wild symbol is a donkey piñata, which can complete any normal winning combination. Even landing a single donkey will be rewarded, and four or five is rewarded ever more generously.

As for the scatter symbol, that's a dog piñata. When you get three or more of these during a single spin you can not only win a prize equal to a multiple of your bet, but you'll trigger a bonus piñata round. Correctly pick which two out of three piñatas hold prizes and win up to 200x your bet. If your piñata contains a rose, you get to play the bonus round again – this keeps going until you don't get a rose from a piñata. But even then you don't finish empty handed. You'll be gifted up to 25 free spins!

During your free spins, you'll see more bull and donkey piñatas than usual and all your winnings during this feature will be doubled (apart from the bull piñata prizes).

But the bull prizes needn't be any bigger! Even three can get you a hefty reward, but the real win comes from hitting all five in a single payline. If you've played the maximum bet on this spin, the progressive jackpot’s yours and it's time to celebrate, Mexican style!
