Mancala Gaming Lands Another Win with Clover Vault: Progressive JP

The devs at Mancala Gaming aren’t sitting idle. After the successes of Golden Fruit Vegas Classic and Hat-Trick Spin, the provider is giving us Clover Vault: Progressive JP. It is a high-volatility, leprechaun-themed slot with Claim Win mechanics, four jackpots (two of which are progressive), and a maximum payout of 50,000x.

This is not your typical 5×3 slot machine with an X number of winning lines and a predictable path to victory. In fact, the game has no winning lines, nor does it rely on Scatter wins.

The Claim Win Mechanic

What drives my wins, then? – we hear you asking. Well, Clover Vault: Progressive JP runs on a Claim Win mechanic where all coin values on the grid are collected, and you get a percentage of their total value. That percentage is completely random and players cannot influence it in any way, shape, or form.

The Claim Win feature drops randomly as well. Occasionally, one position will be singled out for respins on that individual position. You’ll get 3-5 of these respins. Each is a chance to boost the final payout. Once they’re said and done, the game will reveal what percentage of the total win goes into your pocket. That could be 10%, 20%, 50%, all the way to 200%.

There’s another way to win during the base game, and that’s the Collector symbol. When it appears, it will not only collect all values from the coin symbols, but multiply their totals, too. The multipliers can be anything between 1x and 20x.

Surprise Symbols

In addition to the coin and jackpot symbols that go straight to the progressive pots, the game throws Surprise and Jackpot Surprise symbols your way. They have no bearing during the base game, but go wild at the end of the bonus rounds. That’s when they transform into Coin, Collector, Mini or Minor jackpot symbols to boost your final payout.

About Those Progressive Jackpots

The way Mancala drops progressive jackpots in this game is interesting, to say the least. Instead of one single jackpot running parallel to the game, it has two progressive jackpots and both are integral to how the game plays.

Namely, there are four jackpots in the game. Two (Mini and Minor) are fixed, and two (Major and Grand) are progressive. The fixed jackpots have values of 10x and 30x, respectively, and you can win them either in the bonus game or if the Mini or Minor jackpot symbols land in the Claim Win position.

On the other hand, the Major and Grand jackpots are progressive, and they fill up the more you play the main game. Major has a corresponding symbol that needs to appear during the bonus game, while Grand activates when all 15 positions are filled.

Likewise, during the bonus, there’s no limit to how many jackpots you can win. The only hard cap is the total 50,000x max win ceiling that the game imposes on any single run.

The Hold & Win Bonus

Land any of five same symbols, and you’re off to the Hold & Win-style bonus round.

Once triggered, the feature locks existing coin symbols into place and grants 3 respins to kick things off. Every new coin or special symbol that lands resets the respin counter back to 3, keeping the streak alive as you work toward filling the 5×3 grid.

During the bonus, you’ll also see 2x horseshoe symbols appear and disappear as they see fit. These are multipliers that double the value of coin symbols on the grid before vanishing. They apply exclusively in the Hold & Win mode, turning an already volatile bonus into a serious jackpot chase.
