Joker Times Xmas Slot Review
Overloading myself with dress up shows throughout my childhood had me wanting to redesign everything that exists. Walking through the mall became a chance to practice styling; playing with my dolls was all about makeovers, even universal mythical helpers were subject to my hunger for change. I'd envision the Easter bunny with a blue coat and a beanie, the tooth fairy with a fluffy tail and a lip piercing, Father Christmas with a white mohawk, face tattoo and sandals. And after numerous internal battles and dubious thoughts of "am I insane?", Kalamba came along with their thirst for displaying Santa as a Joker in their release Joker Times Xmas Edition. I think we're global transformers, so watch this space. In a few years, you'll see Santa and his new look. But for now, we're snowboarding our way into Kalamba world, gear up, hop on.
Game Play
Jokers Times Xmas Edition is played on a 5x3 reel, with 40 paylines, an 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. of 96.19%, a max win of €210,000 and high volatility.
To begin, winning place a bet between 0.50 and 50.
You win from left to right with the highest per line being paid and the Scatters pay in any position.
The base game has your Free Spins, and you accumulate these, which then add to the meter.
There are 3 Bonus levels, and each level is activated by its respective Bonus symbol. These Bonus symbols only show up on reels 2-4 in the base game. Extra Spins symbols show up on reels 2-4 in the Free Spins; the Multiplier Wild is your reel 2 & 4 visitors in the base game and reel 2 & 4 in the Free Spins game.
3 Bonus symbols activate the Free Spins in any position, and the 3 will also pay x2 your bet. For each 3 Bonus accumulation symbols, the Multiplier Wild grows by 1 up to 30, and 2 extra Free Spins are gifted.
The HyperBonus in this game is up to you; there are 4 options with different costs and various Multipliers. You'll also win Free Spins.
In this game, you're after the Cashpots (5 levels). So when you land a specific number of Cashpot symbols, it means you'll land a specific Cashpot level.
The Wilds with Multipliers replace all symbols aside from the Bonus and Cashpot. When the Multiplier Wild is in a winning combo, the pay is multiplied by the Wild Multiplier value.
The Wilds replace all symbols except the Scatter, Bonus, Cashpot and Wild Multiplier – all the special symbols.
Jokers Times Xmas has a joker as the highest symbol paying 40 for 5, 4 sevens of various colours, a bell, a clover, cherries, apples, grapes and plums.

Performance
There was a slightly longer than usual loading time, which isn't a great start, but they made up for it with the smooth gameplay whilst I was inside. Kalamba has created a snowscape with a dreamy castle peeping in the background. This backdrop holds the grid of oddly chosen undefined symbols. I cannot make sense of the theme or its design, and the message isn't clear. And to top it off, with a title containing the words "Xmas edition", you'd expect Christmas hints, but there is only one, and it's the miniature holly pinning the grid up. I, unfortunately, didn't enjoy myself or the offerings of this game.
Max Coin
The maximum coin is €210,000
Conclusion
This made me realise how much I'm not too fond of Father Christmas in his new uniform… There's a reason he's designed to be all cute and cuddly in his red pyjamas and staunch beard. I'll stick to altering the appearance of laypeople, thank you very much, unless a better version of universal helpers comes along, then I'm all in.
