Epic Joker

Have you played any 3 reels or 4 reels Joker-themed games lately? If you haven’t, then this game from Relax Gaming is worth a try. It’s called Epic Joker, playing with only 3 reels 3 rows and 5 lines, and with a starting bet of 10 cents per spin. The Joker is the Wild symbol, can appear as a single or a stacked symbol, and getting any 3 of them would pay a good 100x the bet amount. On 5 lines, that would mean a maximum win of 500x, not big enough for big win hunters, but satisfying enough for most other players.

It’s a very simple and straightforward game, but offering two feature games - a Joker Respin feature whenever a fully stacked reel of the Joker symbol appears on any of the 3 reels, and a Super Mode 5 free spins whenever all 9 same symbols appear on the reels. Getting one more full reel of the Jokers during the Joker Respin feature would award one more free Respin, thereby giving the possibility of getting the third full reel of Jokers for the maximum win. The Super Mode 5 free spins do not guarantee a win on each free spin, so it may give a zero win on bad times.

The other symbols in play, however, have very low win values, ranging from just 8x down to a mere 0.4x the bet amount, so these symbols would never give any good win, since there isn’t any multiplier in play in this game. The only good win would be by getting all the 9 Joker symbols. The next highest paying symbol, the Star, would only pay a 40x win, which is rather disappointing to say the least. Getting all ‘7’ symbols would pay only 20x, all Oranges would pay 5x, and all Plums would pay 4x. So, how to get any good wins?

Nonetheless, the Super Mode feature game do come quite often, so some satisfaction can be derived from this, although no good wins could or should be expected. Ah well, it’s still a fairly good game to try out. It doesn’t hurt the wallet that badly, but doesn’t feed the wallet that well either, hahaha.
