Junkyard Kings 2

Junkyard Kings 2 is a cluster pays slot developed by Bullshark Games, released on 29th April 2026. Built on the Hacksaw Gaming OpenRGS platform, it is the follow-up to the original Junkyard Kings and expands on its predecessor with a deeper feature set and higher win potential.

The game runs on a 7×7 grid and uses a cascading cluster mechanic, meaning wins are formed by connecting 5 or more matching symbols. What sets Junkyard Kings 2 apart is its layered Wild system – Walking Wilds, Booster Wilds, and their permanent counterparts work together with per-cell multipliers that build throughout a session. The result is a feature structure where multiple mechanics compound simultaneously rather than operating independently.

With a maximum win of 20,000x the bet, high volatility, and four bonus buy options available where permitted, Junkyard Kings 2 is positioned toward players who prefer mechanics-heavy slots with significant variance. The game is playable across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Junkyard Kings 2 is set in an industrial scrapyard filled with rusted machinery, stacked debris, and glowing furnaces. The color palette leans heavily on dark grays and warm amber tones, with orange fire and molten metal accents providing contrast across the grid.

The central character is a raccoon dressed in a red coat and crown-branded bucket hat – a recurring figure from the original game. He appears on the side of the grid during desktop play, adding presence to the setting without interrupting gameplay.

Symbols on the reels include junkyard-themed items such as moldy cheese, mousetraps, bear traps, and poison bottles, alongside metallic card royals (J, Q, K, A) with a worn industrial finish. Wild symbols are framed in glowing gold and animate clearly when activated.

To start, set your bet using the controls at the bottom of the screen. Bets range from 0.10 to 50 per spin. Press the spin button to begin, or use the autoplay option to run a set number of spins automatically.

Wins are formed by landing clusters of 5 or more matching symbols that are connected horizontally or vertically. When a win occurs, the winning symbols are removed and new symbols fall into their place – this is the cascade mechanic. Cascades continue for as long as new wins are formed.

The paytable, settings, and game rules are accessible through the menu icon. Bet adjustments, autoplay configuration, and sound settings are all available before or between spins. The interface is consistent across desktop and mobile devices.

Cell Multipliers

Every cell on the 7×7 grid can hold a multiplier. Cells start without an active multiplier. When a symbol in a cell is part of a winning combination, that cell's multiplier increases by +1x – with the first win activating a 2x multiplier. Multipliers accumulate across all cascades within a single spin but reset at the start of each new spin in the base game. If a winning cluster covers multiple cells with multipliers, the values are added together and applied to that win. The maximum multiplier a single cell can reach is 100x.

Wild Symbol

The standard Wild substitutes for all symbols in the paytable. It can land during both the base game and bonus games.

Walking Wild Symbol

When a Walking Wild lands, it moves randomly across the grid for between 2 and 10 steps before wins are calculated. Each step it takes leaves a regular Wild symbol behind, meaning a single Walking Wild can fill multiple cells with Wilds in one activation. It cannot move outside the grid or step on Scatter symbols or other special Wild types.

Booster Wild Symbol

The Booster Wild lands and immediately increases the multiplier of the cell it occupies before wins are calculated. It then converts into a regular Wild symbol. The boost applied is either additive (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x) or multiplicative (×2). If it lands on a cell with no existing multiplier, an additive value sets the multiplier to that value directly, while a multiplicative value sets it to 2x.

Permanent Booster Wild Symbol

This variant works like the Booster Wild but stays on the grid after boosting its cell. When it is part of a winning combination, it moves to another cell that was also part of that win, applies a new boost value, and remains active. In the base game it is removed at the start of the next spin. In the bonus game it persists for the entire duration, moving to a new cell and boosting it on every spin.

Permanent Walking Wild Symbol

This feature is exclusive to the bonus game. It cannot land during cascades. Like the Walking Wild, it moves across the grid and leaves a trail of Wilds – but it reactivates on every new spin, starting from a new random cell each time. Multiple Permanent Walking Wilds can be active simultaneously; a counter beside the reels tracks how many are on the grid.

Junkyard Jive (Free Spins)

Landing 3 Scatter symbols triggers the Junkyard Jive bonus game, awarding 10 free spins. Cell Multipliers are progressive throughout the entire bonus – they do not reset between spins. Each additional Scatter symbol that lands during the bonus adds 1 extra free spin.

Rule the Yard (Free Spins)

Landing 4 Scatter symbols triggers Rule the Yard, also starting with 10 free spins. This mode uses the same mechanics as Junkyard Jive but guarantees that at least one Permanent Booster Wild or Permanent Walking Wild symbol lands on the first spin. Additional Scatter symbols during the bonus each add 1 free spin.

Bonus Buy Options

Where permitted by local regulations, four bonus buy options are available:

• BonusHunt FeatureSpins™ – Each spin is 5x more likely to trigger a bonus game. Volatility: High. Cost: 3x bet.
• Rust Rush FeatureSpins™ – At least one Walking Wild and one Permanent Booster Wild are guaranteed to land each spin. Volatility: Very High. Cost: 50x bet.
• Junkyard Jive – Directly enters the Junkyard Jive bonus game. Volatility: Very High. Cost: 100x bet.
• Rule the Yard – Directly enters the Rule the Yard bonus game with a guaranteed Permanent Wild on the first spin. Volatility: High. Cost: 250x bet.

Wins are determined by cluster size. The larger the connected group of matching symbols, the higher the payout. All payouts are expressed as multiples of the bet.

Premium Symbols

Low Symbols (J, Q, K, A — equal payouts)

Special Symbols

Cell multipliers apply on top of these base payouts and can significantly increase win values during cascades and bonus game play.

Wins are formed by landing 5 or more matching symbols in a connected cluster – horizontally or vertically adjacent. When a win occurs, those symbols are cleared and new ones fall in from above, potentially forming new clusters in what is called a cascade.

Cell multipliers build with each winning cascade. When a cell contributes to multiple wins across a single spin, its multiplier stacks. If multiple multiplier-carrying cells are part of the same winning cluster, their values are combined and applied to that win.

In the bonus games, multipliers do not reset between spins, which allows them to accumulate over the full free spins sequence. The combination of large clusters, stacked cascades, and compounding cell multipliers is the primary path to the game's higher win values.

Junkyard Kings 2 is the direct sequel to Junkyard Kings, also by Bullshark Games. The original game shares the same scrapyard theme and raccoon character but features a simpler mechanic set without the Permanent Wild variants. Players familiar with the first game will find the sequel builds on the same foundation while adding greater feature depth.

Junkyard Kings 2 is a feature-heavy cluster slot with a well-constructed mechanic system. The combination of Cell Multipliers, Walking Wilds, Booster Wilds, and their permanent counterparts creates a layered experience where multiple elements interact within the same spin. The two free spin modes offer different entry points, and the bonus buy options provide direct access for those who prefer skipping the base game.

The game suits players who are comfortable with high volatility and enjoy slots where the mechanics compound rather than operate in isolation. Those who prefer simpler gameplay or lower variance may find it less accessible. The 20,000x max win is achievable in all game modes.
