Jackpot Block Party Pokie Machine
Here’s an online casino pokie that’s sure to put players in the party mood, with lots of colourful symbols like record decks, cake, dancers and presents spinning down the 5 reels of Jackpot Block Party. It comes complete with a couple of fun bonus rounds where players get to pick presents for real cash awards, and in fact it’s got everything except a jackpot, which is a bit strange considering the name.
But glossing over this, we have an eye-catching game that can be tested at many casinos in a free Jackpot Block Party video pokie version, and once potential players are happy with how it all works they can go ahead and place their bets. The minimum stake is just 0.01 and for this, a single payline will be activated, so to get all 30 working, then players will need to have at least 0.30 wagered per spin, while the maximum high limit stake is 60.00. At least 3 of the same symbol will need to land on an active payline, and the sequence will need to run left to right, on adjacent reels.
A simple blue backdrop to the reels, and the game title is about all we have apart from the actual symbols, and these are in a slightly plain cartoon style, but it still looks good and if all lines are being played, it should be fairly easy to line up some nice wins.
Playing Jackpot Block Party
Opening up the pay table will show players the relative values of each symbol, along with details about how the bonus features work, so it can be a good idea to review these beforehand. Starting from the bottom, there’s a slice of pink cake, chip and dip, a Party Zone sign, green lava lamp, multi-coloured glitter ball and the decks.
The biggest and best rewards come when the number 7 and present symbols appear across an active line, plus there’s the game logo which doubles up as a wildcard, so any time it can, it will substitute for others to complete winning combinations.

Bonus Features
A total of 3 scatter symbols can trigger extra features when they land, and when the present appears in any 3 or more spots at once, a grid of gifts will be displayed. All that’s needed is for players to click on them in any order, revealing cash awards with each one, although finding the party pooper gift will end the round.
It’s also possible to trigger the main feature through this mini game, or any 3 or more whistles can also take players to the heart of the party. Four parties are all in full swing, across each corner of the screen, and starting at the Player party, clicking on more wrapped presents unveils bonus awards. Unveiling a plunger takes players through to the next room, where the Office Party is taking place, and the process repeats, although prizes get bigger as they gatecrash the Costume and finally, VIP rooms, as unwrapping a gift causes the equivalent gift in the other rooms to open as well.
The Verdict
This game has some fairly basic graphics and animations, but compensates for this with some unique bonus features. There’s no wild symbols, and no free spins games, just the rounds that get triggered by scatter symbols. Although the pick a present game can be just a quick round, the main party feature is likely to be far more rewarding, and even if no plunger is found and only the Player party is opened, there are guaranteed prizes once presents are unwrapped.
Of course, joining in several parties at once could be exhausting in real life, but with several presents being unwrapped at once, it’s going to be a fun night for anyone who manages to trigger all of the rooms.
If the design doesn’t put players’ off, they will find a reasonably entertaining game that’s one of the more colourful casino pokie machines and that has a generous return to player percentage , along with the reliability that comes with all WMS Gaming titles.
