Joker Rising Slot Review

You've heard of maraschino cherries 🍒, right? But did you know they are actually zombie fruit wearing makeup?

That's because they start their life off as a regular cherry and then they get bleached until they turn pale yellow and then soaked in corn syrup and red dye so that they look like a regular cherry again.

You'll notice that fruit slots all do the same thing. All of the fruit look glossy and shiny and as if they're about to jump off the page, which is not quite the experience you get when you go to your local green grocer.

But I digress. I've got a soft spot for shameless repackaging, so let’s pop Joker Rising slot’s cherry.

Gameplay

What can I say about a fruit slot? If you've reviewed as many fruit loops as I have, you will also be hard pressed to come up with something creative, so let's just move along swiftly and get to the good stuff that we are all interested in.

The 5x4 grid has 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 96.04%, volatility is low/medium, and the max multiplier is 1,500x. The max win is $450,000, with bets ranging from $0.10 to $300.

The cherry symbol and the lemon both pay 1.40x for 5-of-a-kind at the bottom of the table. The plum comes in at 2x, the grapes at 2.20x, and the watermelon rounds out the low-paying symbols at 2.40x.

The BAR symbol pays 4x for 5-of-a-kind. The four-leaf clover hits 5x, the bell 7x, and the red 7 tops the table at 20x.

The Wild is a dark-haired babe in a jester headpiece who replaces all symbols except the Bonus symbol. She lands on any reel and expands to cover the entire reel when part of a winning line. A full reel of Wilds can pay up to 1,500x the bet.

The Bonus symbol is a golden horseshoe that lands on any reel but doesn't pay on its own. Landing 3 or more of them triggers Free Spins.

Features

FREE SPINS:

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Bonus symbols triggers 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, respectively. The Bonus symbol doesn't show up during the round, so there's no retrigger.

Expanding Wilds work the same as the base game, and that's the whole feature. There's nothing else.

BUY BONUS:

Buying your way into Free Spins costs 50x and you'll randomly get ten, fifteen, or twenty spins.

Performance

I kept waiting for the jester to pull some kind of prank on my session, but she behaved herself. This game ran smoothly on all of my devices as well as on Chrome and Safari.

Maximum Win

At the top bet of $300, the max multiplier of 1,500x means you can grab a max win of $450,000. Bets start at $0.10.

Conclusion

The money in Joker Rising comes from Expanding Wilds during Free Spins. If the Wild jester lands as part of a winning line, she takes over the entire reel, and stacking expanded Wilds is the path to the 1,500x ceiling.

Base game expansions happen too, but without multiplier progression, those hits are flatter. The feature set is thin and there's no escalation to keep sessions interesting.

Low-risk players will get decent mileage from the volatility and base game Wild expansions.

Balanced players might use the Buy Bonus as a shortcut, but paying 50x for a random spin count isn't a precision tool. High-risk players won't find enough ceiling to chase here.
