Joker King Free Play in Demo Mode by Pragmatic Play

Joker King review

Theme and Storyline

This slot is hosted by a gleeful joker who has been crowned king. The theme is a fruit machine with a deck of cards twist.

Leaning over the reels in a bobbing joker hat and crown made of spades, this character challenges the player with a handful of gold coins.

This game has a classic casino vibe with its fruit symbols and bars of gold. The festive atmosphere feels sinful and indulgent.

The glitz and glamour have a hint of macabre about them though. Players will feel they’ve entered an exciting but slightly dark world.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

There’s something maniacal about the Joker King’s smile. With glinting blue eyes and all his teeth bared, he brings to mind a classic Batman villain. Beneath the carnival aesthetic, lunacy seems to be lurking.

The Joker King animates to toss his handful of gold up and lean towards the player. This adds life to the charismatic character.

The cherries are particularly exquisitely animated, with a glossy sheen giving them dimension. All the symbols have a lifelike detail and certainly look alluring.

The soundtrack is a very danceable tune that sets a lighthearted tone. The upbeat vibe is hard to sustain though, and some players may inevitably hit mute.

The golden reels themselves are crowned with a pile of coins, making it clear that cash rules in this world.

Gameplay

Pragmatic Play's Joker King is a six reel, four row slot, with 25 win lines.

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol. When it lands, another paying symbol is chosen at random to transform into a Wild as well.

Scatter symbols will have random multipliers (x2, x3, x5, x10, x10, or x25). This multiplier is applied to players’ total win after a spin. Multiple Scatter symbols will have their multiplier values added together.

If a player lands 3 or more scatters, they are awarded x1 their total bet.

Free Spin rounds are awarded when players land 3 or more Scatter symbols. The number of free spins received goes up depending on how many Scatters landed:
