The Dark Joker Rizes Slot

People who played “Jokerizer” know what to expect from “The Dark Joker Rises”. Someone here from the AskGamblers forum said once “I love to punt”. Probably this is the slot which would fit the best to him, because here this is the whole game about: a massive punt against the casino. If you play this game either you have all, or you have nothing. The two slots (“Jokerizer” and “The Dark Joker Rises”) are almost identical, but while playing at “Jokerizer” I had bigger mystery wins than here.

So why is the game here a massive “punt”? This happens because absolutely all wins from the normal game are “re-played” into a “Jokerizer” mode which can bring exorbitant wins (rarely) or it may not bring anything (very often) and you will lose everything you have just won. In the normal game you pay 10 cents and about once every 20 spins (yes you read that right, once every 20 spins) you win between 20-100 coins. The “Jokerizer” mode activates automatically (if you do not press “collect”) and now you pay for a spin double the bet (20 coins). If you have the big luck to have two jokers on the reels, a “Mystery Win” is awarded. Well the whole game stays in these “Mystery Wins” which is said that can reach up to 6000 coins (60 Euro) but in reality you win about 250-400 coins each time. The slot is even more challenging: if you have the courage to pay from the sum you just won so hard a bet of 200 coins (10x minimum bet) you will automatically have a spin with a guaranteed Joker. This is too little, for too much. In my opinion it is not worth it because most of the time that “Mystery Win” is only a few hundred coins (and I played enough to have more than 15-20 Mystery Wins” in all the game).

However because the bet is only 10 cents, and the slot pays in both directions, unless you are too greedy and if you collect at the right time, you can play hundreds of spins before losing 10 Euro. The Yggdrasil slots are good or very good, but here wins are rather small.

All Mystery Wins are worth much less than playing “Jokerizer”. Not to say that I never had those surprise spins surprise randomly assigned after a Mystery Win.

I feel like my prayers have been heard with the newly released The Dark Jokerizer Rizes slot from Yggdrasil Gaming. Its predecessor Jokerizer was a hit and excellent game in my opinion. The only problem was that minimum bet was a bit too high with 1 euro per spin.

Well folks, seems like the problem is solved thanks to The Dark Jokerizer Rizes. Here you can play the game for just 10 cents per spin. So even low rollers will be much pleased with this adjustment, but that’s definitely not the only change.

The Dark Jokerizer Rizes offers some excellent additional features that certainly warrant a shot. Just like the previous game the slot format remains the same. 5-reels, 3-rows and 10 paylines are still there, and the winning combinations can still come from left to right and vice versa.

The symbols also remain the same but the scenery is a bit more darker and evil with some skulls as decoration. The nice thing about this game is that there are now mystery jokers available on reels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, instead of only reels 2, 3 and 4 like we’re used to with Jokerizer.

You need 3 or more anywhere on the screen during base game to get a mystery win. 3 Jokers award a prize between 1000 and 6000 coins, while 4 Jokers award between 3000 and 6000 coins and 5 jokers guarantee the top payout of 6000 coins.

I played this game today when I saw it at one of favorite casinos. I decided to play on 20 cent bets since my bankroll wasn’t that big. I didn’t manage to trigger the mystery feature during base game unfortunately though.

So I can’t comment on the frequency of it appearing. I did however experience the Jokerizer Mode, which is basically the supermeter with 20 coins as bet instead of 10. During Jokerizer Mode the big difference is that just two Jokers are sufficient as well to get a mystery prize between 20 and 6000 coins.

There is also a possibility to place a superbet of 200 coins during the Jokerizer mode, which is a new addition. You then get the advantage of having a sticky Joker on reels 3. So you only need one more to trigger the mystery prize. I haven’t used this feature though because my bankroll simply couldn’t handle it.

I did trigger a mystery prize though of 500 coins (50x betsize). What disappointed me is that when u get a prize of 500 by a mystery the Jokerizer Mode stops. I think it was 1000 with the first version.

Last but not least there is apparently also a Mystery Win Bonus Spin feature which can get triggered after getting a mystery prize in Jokerizer Mode. During this feature all Jokers are sticky. This one also gets rewarded randomly.

I did not get it through during my brief session. Although I had some decent wins I still lost my bankroll of just 20 euros eventually. Overall a nice game with worthy improvements.

Only point of irritation is that the Jokerizer mode stops when having 500 coins as mystery prize. It was more during part I. It should have been higher if anything!
