Joker Bombs review

Theme and Storyline

Joker Bombs has a theme based around fun fairs.

Players will float into an amusement park filled with sweets and colourful balloons. Nearby, a ferris wheel and waterslide add a sense of child-like joy.

This game is a great pick for players who enjoy candy themes. The tantalising sweets give Joker Bombs an appetising atmosphere.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The cheerful soundtrack is full of optimistic piano notes and finger snaps. The reels spin with a bubbling sound and land with a swish, completing the uplifting vibe.

The symbols include red heart-shaped balloons, golden star-shaped balloons, and a variety of glossy hard candies. Each sweet comes in an enticing hue, such as lime green and strawberry red.

A whimsical joker makes appearances on the reels with rainbow hair and a mischievous smile. As he bursts from his toy box, he seems ready to guide players through the festive wonderland.

The backdrop behind the reels shows a cartoon carnival complete with rides and colourful awnings. The tracks of a rollercoaster swirl right past the players, adding some excitement.

Overall, the animation and soundtrack create a lighthearted world of fun.

Gameplay

Joker Bombs is a six reel, five row slot.

Players are awarded wins for landing at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the reels. This is sometimes called a scatter-win system.

The cascade feature means that symbols that are part of winning combinations vanish, so that new symbols can drop into their positions.

If they choose, players can buy directly into the game’s special feature (see further details below).

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

This game has no Wild symbol, which is unusual.

Joker Bombs lives up to its namesake with a variety of Multiplier Bombs. Players can land one or more of these special symbols to apply to their winnings.

The Muliplier Bombs come in three types:

• Normal Bomb: this symbol lands with a visible multiplier of either x2, x3, or x4.
• Revealing Bomb: this symbol lands with a "?" label then explodes showing its multiplier of either x5, x10, x25, or x50.
• Epic Bomb: this symbol will land with an "X" label. If another multiplier is present in a win, the Epic Bomb explodes showing a value of either x2, x3, x4, x5, or x10. This multiplier is then applied to the win after any other multipliers. For example, a x3 multiplier and a x5 Epic Bomb results in a total multiplier of x15 (x3 x 5), not x8 (x3 + x5).

When players land three or more Free Spin symbols anywhere on the reels, the Free Spins feature will begin, starting with 10 free spins.

During the Free Spins feature, players will have a higher chance of landing Multiplier Bombs in general as well as a higher chance of landing higher value Multiplier Bombs.

If players land three Free Spin symbols during the feature, they’ll be awarded 5 additional free spins.
