Small Fortune Slot by RealTime Gaming

The trigger rule here is unusually strict for a 5x3 slot. To start Free Games, you need at least one Ant Wild on reel 1 AND at least one on reel 5, plus at least one Picnic Basket sitting somewhere on reels 2, 3, or 4. Miss any of those positions and nothing happens, even if the rest of the screen is covered in wilds and baskets. It's a three-zone handshake that Small Fortune builds its whole feature chase around.

When it lands, each Picnic Basket on the triggering spin awards 5 free spins. One basket gets you 5, two baskets get you 10, three baskets get you 15. Inside the feature, every win is tripled, which is where the real damage happens on a 50,000x top-end. Retriggers are possible if you repeat the same ants-and-baskets pattern during the round, and the locale data confirms an extra-respins layer on top.

Two progressive jackpots sit above the grid at all times, a Minor and a Major, both seeded locally at the operator level. They can drop at the end of any spin at random, feature or base game, and the win is added to whatever else you hit on that turn. The pools we observed during demo play sat at roughly $282 on the Minor and $1,409 on the Major, though actual values float depending on the casino running the game.

Visually, this is pure 2013 RTG - a checkered yellow picnic cloth serving as the reel backdrop, brown dirt framing it from below like an ant's-eye view, and a strip of blue sky with daisies above. The symbols are cartoony food art: apple pie (the top pay at 1,250x for five), a club sandwich with an olive on a toothpick, watermelon, a cheese plate, grilled waffles, a blue butterfly perched on a pink flower. Tiny ants crawl across several symbols as a decorative callback. It's a picnic gone wrong, rendered in the warm, slightly dated style of older RTG titles.
