Jester Wheel

Jester Wheel Review

The developers are aiming high with Jester Wheel, producing a glamorous package. The playing field is rather classic with 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines.

The theme is old-school, with the titular jesters being its central figures. The production values are surprisingly high and the graphics are polished to the slightest of details. It’s not very often that you see a studio maintaining such high standards throughout.

The slot’s volatility is high, so you have to be prepared for some serious swings in both directions. It’s not too dire, though, since the hit frequency clocks in at a very solid 33% rate. That converts to a win on every third spin on average. The jackpot is solid at 2,146x and the betting range caters to players with all kinds of bankrolls. Low rollers can go for the min bet of £0.25, while the max bet stands at £125. The theoretical RTP of Jester Wheel is 96.49%, which is well above average.

Jester Wheel Slot Features

The symbols of Jester Wheel will bring you back to the good old days of classic slot machines. You can look forward to lemons, cherries, sevens, bells, diamonds, etc. That’s the classic bunch, in other words, and it works well in the context of this game. The slot’s paytable is dynamic, so you can easily check what you stand to win for the different combinations. While diamonds pay up to 24x your stake, the low pays can pay as little as 1.2x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.

There are two special symbols in Jester Wheel, Jester Wilds and Scatter symbols. Jester Wilds come with solid payouts of their own and they also substitute for other symbols. Scatter symbols, on the other hand, go together with the Jester Wheel feature.

If you land 2 Scatter symbols, you’ll trigger the Jester Wheel feature with 1 free spin that will come with 1 out of 4 bonus features. If you land 3 Scatter symbols instead, you’ll get 8 free spins to go with 1 out of 4 bonus features. If you land a Scatter during a free spin, you’ll trigger the Multiplier Wheel and win a random win multiplier (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, or 10x) for the free spin in progress.

As for the 4 bonus features, these are called Jester Burst, Jester Reel, Jester Mirror and Jester Trail. With Jester Burst, you’ll get between 2 and 6 Wilds added to the playing board. With Jester Reel, you’ll get up to 3 reels filled with Wilds, which is even better. With Jester Mirror, the middle reel will become Wild and paylines will pay from both left to right and right to left. Finally, with Jester Trail, a Wild will be placed on the reels and it will then produce up to 4 extra Wilds along a random trail.

Review Summary

If you enjoy classic slot machines with modern twists, you’ll be thrilled by what Jester Wheel brings to the table. It’s a polished experience with no rough edges and we can recommend it to everyone. The gameplay loop is fun, wins come often enough and there’s a small reward waiting for you even for a set of only 2 Scatters. It’s an enjoyable ride, so make sure to check it out!
