Mega Joker (Novomatic)

Mega Joker Review

Mega Joker manages to keep you entertained and wanting more, even without many standout features. The 8-bit, fruit machine soundtrack and fast-paced spins have a nostalgic appeal.

The game plays on 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 ways to win. It's classic in style, with nice scatter wins in the base game.

The base game is the main focus, with stacked joker wilds offering the chance to win the game’s max win of 2,000x your stake by filling the entire screen. It's a medium variance slot, leaning towards the higher end.

What symbols are there?

The scatter symbol is the most valuable, followed by the joker wild. Regular symbols pay less and are typical for fruit machine games. You need 3 to 5 matching symbols on a payline to win. Here's the paytable:

• Star scatter - Pays 400x for 5 anywhere
• Joker wild - Pays 50x for 5 on a payline
• 77 - Pays 10x for 5 on a payline
• Strawberry - Pays 6x for 5 on a payline
• Pear - Pays 6x for 5 on a payline
• Grapes - Pays 4x for 5 on a payline
• Watermelon - Pays 4x for 5 on a payline
• Mixed fruit symbols - Pays 2.5x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

This game has few bonus features. The Joker is the second highest paying symbol and functions as a wild symbol, substituting for regular symbols to maximize winnings.

It cannot substitute for the scatter symbol, but you can benefit from stacked joker wilds that can fill entire reels. Filling the screen with joker wilds leads to a payout of 50x times 40 paylines, equaling 2,000 times your total stake.

You can gamble your winnings each time you win in a 50/50 gamble feature. Choose a card color (red or black) to double your money or lose it all. You can double your winnings up to 5 times, but with 50/50 odds, it’s risky.

Free spins in Mega Joker

There is no free spins bonus round. The game keeps it simple, modeled after classic 3-reel slots.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

The game lacks a true jackpot, although the scatter win of 400 times your stake for 5 on the same spin is a significant win. The max win is achieved by filling the reels with joker wilds.

The max win is 2,000 times your stake, and you can gamble it. Play with the highest possible stake and you can win a significant amount on a single spin.

Where can I play Mega Joker?

You can play Mega Joker for real money at listed locations.

The max win is 2,000 times your stake, achievable by filling the reels with joker wilds. Gamble this amount if you dare. Play with a high stake to potentially win a very large sum on a single spin.

Verdict

If you enjoy straightforward games, you might like this one. It lacks bonus features, but the retro music and fast gameplay are appealing. The max win potential is decent, but patience is needed.
