If you like to play online slots that offer a classic reel-spinning experience, then you should check out Joker’s Jewels. This game may not offer any extra features, but this is likely to appeal to players who prefer to keep their slot-playing as uncomplicated as possible. The game can also be played as a free version, if you enjoy online slots with no deposit.

Game overview

Joker’s Jewels is one of the best online slots you can find if you like simple, unfussy slots without any bonus features, and just prefer to spin the reels and see if luck is on your side. This 5-reel, 5-payline slot comes from developer Pragmatic Play, which has also developed titles including Juicy Fruits, The Hand of Midas, and 5 Lions Megaways. It’s a high-volatility slot which has an RTP (return to player) of 96.5%, putting it slightly higher than the average of 96%.

How to play

As with many other online slots, the game pays out if the correct symbols land from left to right. If you make multiple wins on a line, only the highest is paid out. But if you achieve multiple wins across multiple paylines, then they all count, and are added together. The payline patterns are a straight line across the top, middle, or bottom rows, a V-shape that goes from the top left to the middle of the bottom row and ends in the top right corner, and a mirror-image, upside-down V-shape that starts in the bottom left, goes to the middle of the top row, and ends in the bottom right. 

When it comes to wagers, the minimum bet you can make is £0.05, up to a maximum of £25. If you’re interested in placing a wager on all 5 lines, you can configure your bet with the following options: 

• Coins per line – The minimum value of coins per line is 1, while the maximum value of coins per line is 10.
• Coin value – The minimum coin value you can set is £0.01, up to a maximum of £0.50.
• Total bet – As discussed above, the minimum total bet you can make is £0.05, up to a maximum of £25.

In addition to this, you can also configure the autoplay feature with lots of fine-tuning options available. Autoplay has the following settings: 

• Number of autospins – Can be set to a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 100.
• Stop if cash decreases by* – Can be set to a minimum of £0 and a maximum of £99,999.90.
• Stop if single win exceeds – Can be set to a minimum of £0 and a maximum of £25.
• Stop if cash increases by – Can be set to a minimum of £0 and a maximum of £250.
• Stop on any win – Can be toggled on and off, so it’s your choice.

As with any slot, Joker’s Jewels features symbols of different values. The highest is the Joker, which pays out a maximum of 5,000x your stack, or £25,000, if you land 5 symbols on a payline and have wagered the maximum. The lowest-value symbol is a blue gem, which will pay out £25 if you land 2 symbols on a payline on a maximum wager.

Features

Contrary to many modern slot games, Pragmatic Play has taken a step towards simplicity with this title. Apart from the addition of multiple winning paylines and an autoplay option, there are no extra features or mini-games in this title. 

An interesting technical feature is the battery-saver option, which allows you to reduce the animation effects, allowing you to save power if you’re playing on a mobile device. (It might even suit your style of play more, too!)

Bonuses and jackpots

As we’ve said before, Joker’s Jewels likes to keep it simple, and so this game doesn’t offer any bonuses or jackpot wins, outside the highest payout of £25,000 for 5 Joker symbols on a payline. 

Graphics, design, and sound

When it comes to graphics and design, Joker’s Jewels is undoubtedly retro. The paytable is consistently visible above the reels, with bright flashing lights that highlight your potential wins, mimicking the old mechanical slot machines that people still play at brick-and-mortar casinos. The game’s title is clearly visible at the top of the screen, and also flashes in time with the paytable. The background and reels are primarily shades of purple, while the detailed, high-resolution symbols are a mix of primary colours. The in-game text is primarily conveyed using a mix of gold, yellow, and white, which is clearly visible against the darker hues of the rest of the game.

The music is a carnival-style tune which some may enjoy, but others may find annoying, so it’s great that you have the option to disable the music while retaining the rest of the game’s sound effects, which are all quite pleasing to the ear. However, the sound effects can also be disabled separately if you decide you want to do that for whatever reason. It’s simple: you just have to set the game up in the way that’s most fun for you to play!
