All fans of old-school slot machines with a modern twist will be pleased to know that Play’n Go released Star Joker, a 5-reel, 10-payline video slot that looks like a fruit machine, but is actually a modern video slot. It offers a couple of extra features and a maximum possible payout of 5,000x the bet.
Playable from $0.10 per spin, the 2018 release boasts crisp graphics and a soundtrack that fits the theme perfectly. Apart from the symbols that can be found in almost all video slots with a similar theme, the Play’n Go title comes with a smiling Joker, which is both Scatter that triggers free spins and Wild during freebies.
Like the name of the game says, the Joker is the main attraction of the 2018 release, acting as Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature, and also as Wild, but only when it turns into the Golden Joker during freebies. As for other icons that populate the reels, you will come across standard Lucky Sevens, Diamonds and Golden Bells. Also, there will be plenty of fruit, like Watermelons, Oranges, Plums, Strawberries and Cherries. The Star is Wild that substitutes for regular symbols during the base game.
Since we are talking about a video slot that is a classic fruit machine in its essence, the rules of the game do not come easier than this. The Play’n Go product features 5 reels, 3 rows and offers 10 fixed paylines. The slot pays left to right, beginning from the far-left reel and three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts, except for symbols like Wild and high-paying icons. They pay for two of a kind. Players can bet from $0.10 to $100 per single spin.
Your main task will be to land three Joker Scatters on the reels during the base game. This will get you 10 free spins and turns Joker Scatter into Golden Joker Wild.
Two kinds of Wilds are available during the Free Spins feature, enabling gamers to land winning combos more easily.
Players who enjoy a good gamble game can use the Gamble feature after every winning combination. Double or even quadruple your wins by guessing correctly the colour or suit of a hidden card.
If you set the bet to the max, you can pocket up to $500,000 in a single spin.
Due to the fact that the graphics are simple but crisp and that the Play’n Go title is a classic slot machine in its essence with no complicated rules, it is clear that the reels run as smoothly as possible and that the quality of the game is completely the same on any device, desktop or mobile.
