If you’re tired of slots that assault your senses with cascading grids, tumbling mechanics, and endless feature buys, Pragmatic Play’s Triple Hop Pots might be exactly what you’re looking for. But fair warning: this game requires patience.
Stripped back to a classic 3×3 grid, this medium-volatility release is a game of two very distinct halves. It pairs a very quiet base game with a free spins round that holds some serious, instant-cash potential. I played a few dozen spins of it, and the whole thing comes down to the chase for the middle reel.
The Base Game: A Purist’s Grind
Let’s not sugarcoat it: the base game in Triple Hop Pots is a grind. You’re working with just five fixed paylines, no wilds to bail out near-misses, and no ante bets to speed up the action.
The paytable is made up of trinkets and gems, and the payouts are definitely on the low side. In my session, the most frequent hits were red and green gems that didn’t even cover my initial stake (usually returning about 0.8x). The top base-game symbol is a line of pearls paying 10x, which I managed to hit exactly once.
Often, you’ll see premium symbols scattered across the grid without forming a single line. It’s a quiet, fast-moving stretch of low-paying combinations. You aren’t playing the base game to win big; you are playing it entirely to hunt for scatters.
The “Collection” Tease
Above the reels sit three frogs, green, red, and purple, matching the three reels below. When a scatter of the corresponding colour lands, the frog lights up.
If you play a lot of modern slots, your brain will immediately register this as a collection meter. It isn’t.
The free spins trigger is entirely random. A single purple scatter on reel three is enough to instantly trigger the bonus, while a spin with two scatters might just result in a dead spin that leaves you sitting in the base game. The lit frogs are just a visual flair signaling that a scatter landed, not a promise that a bonus is due. The upside? Every single scatter that drops is a live chance to trigger the feature.
Six Spins and the MONEY Symbols
If the base game is a snooze, the 6 Free Spins are where Triple Hop Pots finally wakes up. This is where MONEY symbols come into play, carrying fixed values up to 500x your bet.
What I really appreciate here is that Pragmatic hasn’t included a “Collector” symbol. If a MONEY symbol lands, it pays its face value immediately. No waiting, no frustration when a collector doesn’t drop.
The real chase, however, is the multiplier modifiers. The bonus opens with the modifiers of whichever scatters triggered the round:
- Green Scatter: 2x multiplier on reels 1 and 2.
- Purple Scatter: 2x multiplier on reels 2 and 3.
- Red Scatter (The Heavy Hitter): 3x multiplier on reels 1 and 3, and a 6x multiplier on the middle reel.
These multipliers only apply to the MONEY symbols, not standard line wins. If you trigger the bonus with just a purple scatter, reel one has no multiplier. A coin landing there pays face value, but a 15x coin on the multiplied third reel doubles to 30x. In my session, a single doubled coin accounted for the vast majority of a 41.9x bonus return. It proves how heavily this slot relies on landing the right coins on the right active reels.
The 5,000x Chase
Pragmatic Play’s own Moon Rush shares this game’s 5,000x cap and medium volatility, but that game relies on cascades and feature buys. Triple Hop Pots strips everything back to a single, natural trigger. Because a full screen of top symbols in the base game only pays 50x, the road to the 5,000x max win relies entirely on stacking modifiers in the bonus.
If you trigger the bonus with all three frogs (or land the missing colours during the feature to add their multipliers and +3 extra spins), the multipliers combine. In this dream scenario, that middle reel carries a 10x multiplier.
That is the single thing you are chasing in this game: a 500x MONEY symbol dropping squarely on the middle reel under the full weight of the modifiers, instantly hitting the 5,000x cap in a single spin.
Should you play it?
If you need constant action, animations, and feature buys, skip this one. But if you’re a slot purist who doesn’t mind a quiet base game in exchange for a straightforward, high-tension bonus round where every coin drop matters, Triple Hop Pots is well worth a few spins.
