Joker Fruits and Claw Slot Review

My parents, like many others, wanted me to become a doctor 🩺 or lawyer or take on some profession that could make money (can you imagine how happy they were when I became a writer?).

Comedy isn’t a career path that we typically associate with big bucks, and yet the richest comedian alive, Jerry Seinfeld, is worth an estimated $1.1 billion! 👀 🤯 OK, true, around $700 million came from his syndicated sitcom, but still – that’s a lot of shekels.

Kevin Hart isn’t doing too bad either, with a net worth of around $450 to $500 million. So there’s definitely money to be made from making people laugh. 🤣💰

An easier path to glory, other than being heckled in comedy clubs, is to play Joker Fruits and Claw slot from Clawbuster.

Gameplay

Alright, so what do we have here? Fruit that look like they could jump off the screen sit strewn across a 5x3 grid with… what is that? An undersea background? Who knows.

What I do know is there’s a Claw above the reels and some Jackpots. The Mini pays 20x, the Midi pays 40x, the Major pays 100x, and the Grand pays 1,000x. Scoring the latter is halfway towards achieving the 2,000x max multiplier.

The Joker symbol pays 100x if you land 5 of them, the 7 symbol pays 25x for 5-of-a-kind, and Grapes pay 10x for 5OAK.

Wins happen across 20 paylines. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.
is 95%
, the volatility rate is medium, and the max win is $200,000. You can play with any moolah your heart desires.

The game looks decent on a phone (you can only do so in portrait mode). You’ve got the grid and Jackpots above, and the Buy Bonus and Ante Bets below (more on these later). Beneath these are the controls. Yip, not bad at all.

Features

RANDOM COINS:

Coin symbols carry values of 0.5x, or 1x to 10x, or they can represent one of the 4 Jackpots. Whenever 5 or more Coins land, the total sum value will be paid and you’ll also trigger the Free Spins feature.

CLAW FEATURE:

This feature can trigger randomly at the start of a round. You’ll see the Claw drop and it’ll scatter Coins on random positions across the grid.

FREE SPINS:

Land 5 or more Coins in the base game and you’ll be awarded 7 spins. With each spin, you’ve got a better chance of Coins landing (either organically or from the Claw feature). Coins on winning paylines pay their multiplier value x the bet.

It’s possible to score additional spins like so: an extra 5 Coins awards 3 more spins.

ANTE BETS:

Option 1: Double your chance of triggering Free Spins by increasing your bet by 25% per spin.

Option 2: Increase each bet by 5x and each Coin will land with a random Jackpot value (rather than a multiplier).

BUY BONUS:

Pay 50x for 7 Free Spins, pay 100x for 10 Free Spins, or pay 500x for 15 Free Spins.

Performance

Performance wasn’t an issue. Everything worked as expected across all of my devices.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at $0.20 and is capped at $100. The max multiplier is 2,000x, and the max win is $200,000.

Conclusion

I like the fact that we can score Jackpots without having to fill an entire grid with symbols. I also like that Coins pull double duty; paying multipliers or Jackpots, and also triggering Free Spins.

What I don’t like is the max multiplier; it’s on the low side for a medium volatility game. The base game symbol payout also isn’t great.

The studio hasn’t released any hit rate data, so it’s tough to figure out which of the Ante Bets or Buy Bonuses is the most efficacious, so we’ll have to go with an educated guess.

The cheapest Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. offers the best trade-off between cost and feature trigger frequency. The 5x Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. is aimed more at high-risk players who are looking to maximize their returns. However, you’ll need to land high-paying Jackpots to justify the expense. This is risky.

The cheapest Buy Bonus only makes sense if you can return 60x to 70x, and you’ll be breaking even then. The 100x Buy Bonus option only makes sense if you’re scoring re-triggers.

As for the 500x Buy Bonus, you’re paying 10x the cost of the cheapest Buy Bonus for slightly more than double the spins. Now, logic says we should avoid this one but on my first use, I scored a 958x return for a profit of 458x, so it can also be very beneficial.

For those of you who are not into risk, maybe stick to the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. options. This is not advice; merely my thoughts.
