Have you ever heard the phrase that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure? What one person might deem as rubbish, another may find value and use, which is why junkyards exist in the first place. However, while junkyards might prove a good hunting ground for somebody looking for something in particular, for Rats, they’re like kingdoms, the perfect haven for them to scurry around more or less uninterrupted, and that’s the theme of the latest slot to land in my lap. Bullshark Games, in partnership with Hacksaw Gaming, presents us with Junkyard Kings, a 7×7 cluster pays grids slot with a 12,000x maximum win and a 96.23% RTP.
You’re greeted with the foul-smelling scrapyard as soon as you open up this slot, and while the items scattered around the place might not look like they’re worth anything, the features on the reels certainly are. For starters, there is a cascading reels mechanic that operates in conjunction with a cell multiplier feature, where winning combinations increase cell multipliers by 1x up to a maximum of 100x. Four different wild symbols also apply their magic by doubling multipliers, walking the reels, and substituting for regular symbols. Finally, a free spins bonus kicks into action once the required scatters land, and during that feature, the cell multipliers do not reset between spins.
Is this slot looking like your treasure, or does it sound like its nothing but junk? Whatever your early impressions, give it a chance by playing the Junkyard Kings slot demo below. It’s free to play, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Junkyard Kings Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Unsurprisingly, a search for ‘junk’ in our free online demo slots search filter yielded zero results, so as I expected, there have not been any junk-themed slot games of note released over the years. There are plenty of rat-themed slot games out there, though. Rumble Ratz Megaways from Kalamba Games is a good option for anyone who prefers a dynamic reel setup rather than cluster pays. If you’d rather stick to a similar reel mechanic as on Junkyard Kings, the Rogue Rats of Nitropolis demo is well worth a look, and with this being part of a larger series of games, too, you could have a slot marathon checking them all out.
Over to the pays section now, and while, for the most part, the symbols look like worthless trash, the paytable on Junkyard Kings lists some decent payouts. I’m not sure who throws away a Bucket With Cash in it, but that’s the top-paying symbol with a 500x the stake return for combinations of over 36. A Slice of Pizza is next up worth 300x, while the Banana Skin and Empty Can of Food return 100x and 50x, respectively. The Playing Card Suits represent the low-value symbols, and all pay up to 25x the stake for 36+ symbol combinations.
As with all slots from Hacksaw and its associated studios, players will find a good selection of betting options available on Junkyard Kings. These begin from a budget-friendly €0.10 a spin and max out at a whopping €100 a press.
Junkyard Kings Slot Base Game
The Junkyard Kings slot features a 7×7 grid, which cluster pays fans are probably familiar with by now. Forming wins using this mechanic requires a minimum of 5 matching symbols to land connected vertically or horizontally. This can happen anywhere on the grid, as there are no paylines to contend with.
Cascading Reels & Increasing Cell Multipliers
Cascading reels and cluster pay slots go together like tea and biscuits or, for anyone across the Atlantic, like peanut butter and jelly. Those mechanics combine once again in the Junkyard Kings slot. However, this time, an increasing multiplier mechanic works alongside them.
Winning symbols disappear, new ones drop into the vacated places, and further combos can and do occur. When that happens, positions involved in those combination wins have a multiplier value that increases by 1x each time. Those values can increase to as much as 100x, which just shows the winning potential of this mechanic. Adding to that, the multipliers add together if there are more than one before they apply to payouts.
Wild Symbols
You’ll also encounter four wild symbols during your spins on this slot. Each substitutes for all regular symbols when wins are possible, but three hold additional powers.
- Doubling Wild: Whenever this type appears, it doubles the multiplier value of the position it lands in.
- Permanent Doubling Wild: While the previous wild disappears once a win is created, this one moves one position to potentially create another. This continues until the symbol is no longer involved in a winning combo.
- Walking Wild: This will walk between 2 and 10 positions, leaving wild symbols in each one as it goes.
- Regular Wild: Last but not least, there’s a standard wild that only substitutes for other symbols.
Junkyard Kings Slot Bonus Features
You’ll enjoy all the fun of the base game, but with a few added benefits when you trigger the free spins bonus. You need three or more scatter symbols anywhere in view to receive 10 free spins or four to receive 10 spins and a guaranteed Permanent Doubling Wild on the first spin.
Junkyard Scavenger Free Spins Feature
During this feature, cell multipliers no longer reset between spins, meaning there’s a good chance of amassing some good multipliers by the time later spins come around. Furthermore, Permanent Doubling Wild symbols remain on the reels for the duration of the bonus game.
Bonus Buy
Players from jurisdictions where the bonus buy button is active can choose from the following bonus buy options.
- BonusHunt FeatureSpins: You can spin with five times the chance of triggering a bonus for 3x your current stake.
- FeatureSpins: For 20x, you can spin with the guarantee that at least one walking wild symbol will land.
- Junkyard Scavenger Spins: 100x your current stake gets you at least the three scatter symbols required to trigger the Junkyard Scanger Spins bonus.
- Extreme Junkyard Scavenger Spins: For 200x, you’re guaranteed to land four scatters to trigger the bonus with a guaranteed Permanent Doubling WIld.
Pros
- A good selection of buy bonus options.
- The cell multipliers mechanic adds another element to clusters and cascades.
Cons
- I found the soundtrack to be quite irritating after a while.
Junkyard Kings Slot Review Final Thoughts
Junkyard Kings is a solid effort from Bullshark Games that delivers a good level of entertainment and quite a bit of potential if the cell multipliers, cascades, and modifiers align.
