More modern than other retro-style games

This game is all about fun, and the Joker character is here to entertain you. It's along the same lines as other joker-themed games like Mega Joker, but it feels a lot more slick and modern. There's no real storyline, but all of the symbols are themed, so the game has a coherent look and feel.

Fun, circus style music

Can you picture the kind of music you might hear at a circus? That's the exact vibe Pragmatic Play has gone for with the Joker's Jewels slot. We also liked how you can hear the mechanical effects, as though it's an old, manual slot machine. Unfortunately, it gets a little repetitive after a while, so you might want to mute it.

Joker's Jewels looks like an old-fashioned slot machine

The retro vibe is really strong with this game. The grid looks like the display of a traditional slot machine, and the reels light up when the symbols start to land. The actual graphics aren't groundbreaking, but they do fit the theme, and the symbols look like they're straight out of a retro game.

Joker's Jewels has medium volatility

The volatility of the Joker's Jewels casino game is medium (about 3.5 / 5, as rated by Pragmatic Play). We usually prefer high-volatility games, but medium can work quite well for players with a smaller bankroll. The RTP of the game is 96.5%, which is slightly above average and in line with other Pragmatic Play slots.

You can spin for as little as $/€/£0.05 per go, and the maximum is $/€/£100. If you fill up the screen with the Joker symbols, you could bag a 1,040x payout.

Five reels, three rows, five paylines

To start playing, all you need to do is adjust your coins per line and coin value using the options on the screen and then click on the spin button.

The game has five reels and three rows, with five fixed paylines. To trigger a win, you need at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right on one of the paylines. Gameplay is quick, but thanks to the soundtrack and the way the reels light up, you can really feel the tension building.

The Joker pays the biggest wins

The Joker's Jewels slot symbols all fit the retro theme. The Joker symbol pays the most, followed by the Bonus symbol, the mandolin, and the set of bowling pins. You'll be awarded smaller wins for landing the colorful gem symbols.

There's no Wild symbol here, so you'll need to rely on landing the regular paying symbols to trigger a win.

Bonus symbols, but no Free Spins round

When we played the Joker's Jewels demo, we noticed that there's a Bonus symbol, but it doesn't seem to do anything except pay anywhere on the screen. Yes, this red crown symbol awards some of the biggest possible payouts, but we're used to seeing Free Spins rounds that trigger with a Scatter, so this was quite confusing.

This is why you should try the Joker's Jewels demo

Even with the low max win, the RTP of 96.5% almost makes this game worth a go. Almost. I was disappointed by the lack of special features (and the confusing Bonus symbol with no Free Spins round), and there aren't even any Multipliers to keep things interesting. If you're a fan of retro-style slots, you might enjoy this game (and the low minimum stake makes it good for beginners), but overall it's not very special.
