Star Joker Slot is a video slot with 5 reels and 10 paylines which is running on the Play’n GO software platform. The game is inspired with the old land-based fruit-themed games. Despite the old-school theme the game still exudes that modern vibe with the disco feel and the low-key funky soundtrack playing in the background. If you want to see how everything looked like back then, you can spin the reels here for fun or at any Play’n GO Casino for real.
How to Play Star Joker Slot
Before you get these fruit reels spin, you should learn how to set the bets.
- Slot has a Quick Betting Panel which lets you increase and decrease your bets.
- Au¬top¬lay¬ sets the reels in motion for the selected number of times without any interruption.
- Once you choose your bets you will get the reels in motion by hitting Spin button.
- Gamble/Collect will help trigger the Gamble feature.
Slot Features
Gold Star is the Wild symbol which can substitute for all the symbols except for the Scatter. Also, Wild can form winning combos both on its own when you land at least 2 of them on an active payline or when it substitutes in a win.
Free Spins
Joker is the Scatter and landing three of them on the reels will help you trigger Free Spins feature. Once triggered you will be awarded with 10 spins.
During the feature you will cross paths with the Wild Joker that appears only during this feature, and acts as a Wild that has the capability to replace all other symbols in the game. Additional 3 Jokers will trigger another 10 spins for you.
Gamble
The game can also boast with one a Gamble feature. Once you land a win you will get the chance to hit Gamble and try to double or quadruple your wins. If you choose to guess the card suit the correct guess will quadruple your wins, and if you choose to guess the color the correct guess will double them. In any case, the wrong guess will cost you the gambled amount and you will get back to the base game.
Summary
Star Joker slot does not have many special features but it offers a huge winning potential of up to x5000 your bet. This alone should be reason enough for you to give it a spin and let us know what you think. Plus, even though there are no special features, nor anything too intriguing with this game, it still can be a pretty fun to play.
I see this Star Joker game from PlaynGo as a combined version of a standard fruit game with Multifruit 81 game, because of the same Joker symbol being used. However, in Star Joker, instead of being a Wild symbol, the Joker is now a non-paying Scatter symbol, serving merely to trigger 10 free spins. Instead, a Golden Star is the Wild symbol, and a Golden Joker is added in as an Extra Wild symbol during the free spins. Other than the free spins, there aren’t any other features to be had!
Playing with only 10 paylines, the otherwise good win values of all the symbols are actually not good enough, simply because of the lesser win lines in play. Since none of the symbols are stacked on the reels, I simply cannot see how the stated maximum win of 5000x bet can be achieved, unless it’s an accumulated total win from all the free spins played! If this is the case, then PlaynGo has once again put forward a rather misleading statement in the paytable, as they have done in a few of their other games too, which I definitely do not like at all!
The only good thing about the game is that the free spins can be retriggered, but yet again, I really doubt if many retriggers would be possible - I would guess about 3 times at the most. Even so, playing without any win multipliers during the free spins, getting any good wins from this game would be very hard indeed. Yes, getting 5 Wild symbols would pay 500x the total bet, and getting 5 of the ‘7’ symbols would pay 100x, but don’t ever expect them to land easily on any of the 10 paylines!
I gave this game 2 separate plays, playing with only the minimum starting bet of 0.10 per spin all the way, and by the end of it all, the best win that I could get was a damn lousy measly 37x win! The game played badly, the payouts were simply ridiculously small, and the Extra Wild symbol during the free spins hardly ever appeared even. When they do appear, nothing nice or interesting happened - no decent wins, no retriggering of the free spins - leaving me in a state of complete disappointment! This is one of the few PlaynGo games that I wouldn’t want to play ever again!
