The Modern Classic is Joker’s Jewels Slot

The Jester is ready to dance with his massive shoes and the lute. Are you ready to grab all the jewels from him?

If you’ve been looking for a laid-back video slot in this Canadian online casino, Joker’s Jewels slot might just be your window. OJO plays this game quite a lot because he doesn’t want to worry about hundreds of paylines and bonus features all the time.

Joker’s Jewels Slot

As we already said, it’s a very laid-back video slot. But what does it mean? Well, you get your standard 5 reels on this game with 3 rows. So, you have the regular 5x3 layout. However, there are only 5 paylines on this game from Pragmatic Play.

Joker’s Jewels slot definitely shows a different side of the provider. Because Pragmatic Play is known for its unique game mechanics and lots of Megaways titles. Joker’s Jewel slot doesn’t follow that path.

Rather, it’s a 96.50% RTP title with high volatility. High volatility means you may not win very frequently. But the payouts generated are usually higher than average. All 5 paylines in the game pays from left to right on adjacent reels. It’s a fixed payline title so you won’t be able to change it.

The coin value starts at a mere C$0.01. If you put 1 coin per payline, you can start betting with C$0.05. As you increase coins per line and coin value, the bet value can go up to C$25. Interestingly, the maximum winning potential in the game is 5,000x the stake. It means you can walk away with C$125,000 if everything falls into place!

To change all the values, you need to click on the “-” or “+” buttons on the screen. It’ll trigger the adjustment menu where you can tweak your coins per line, coin value, and total bet as you see fit. OJO’s recommendation is to try different combinations and see what works best for your bankroll.

Theme & Sound Design

The theme of Joker’s Jewels slot very much resembles the classic slots. You can think of it as a modern 5-reel rendition of the older 3-reel fruit machines. There’s not much of a backdrop or a story going on in the screen.

The interface is pretty much what you’d expect from a mechanical machine. The curved edges of the machine are also visible!

The colour pallet on Joker’s Jewel slot is very cleverly put together. It retains the retro vibe the developer has worked so hard on. The sparkling jewel symbols with the checkered background create a very nice contrast.

Needless to say, a “Joker” theme is going on all over the game. You may also refer to it as a “Jester” or a “Fool”.

You can see the value of each symbol on the main screen. It’s something we don’t see very often in video slots. One of the primary reasons OJO loves this game so much is that he doesn’t have to click on the “i” every time he needs a look at the paytable.

Needless to say, the audio complements the visuals very well. Pragmatic Play is a master of its craft so it was expected.

The next biggest symbol is the bonus. It’s the only bonus symbol in the game and it pays for any position on the reels. You don’t have to land it from left to right adjacent reels. For 5 on a payline, it gives you C$12.50 which is essentially 62.5 times your bet.

The lute and the juggling pins pay C$10 for 5 on a payline. So, you can get up to 50x of your stake with these symbols.

The rest of the symbols, meaning the shoes, and all the gems pay identically. You get C$2 for 5 of them on a payline. Overall, you can get generate some substantial winnings if you are lucky.
