How to win big in Joker Megaways – Free Spins

3 joker scatters activates 10 free spins. With no cascades, there is no opportunity to extend your spin, you win or lose – either way, you move on to the next spin. During free spins, the Joker becomes a wild, and each appearance he makes adds 1x to the round’s win multiplier. Furthermore, a Joker on each reel not only adds 3x to the multiplier, but it also retriggers 10 more free spins.

Special Features

• Megaways up to 512 ways to win
• Buy a Bonus
• Gamble Feature

For those unfamiliar with Megaways slots, the number of paylines, or in this case ‘Megaways’, changes every spin. Each of the 3 reels contains between 2 and 8 symbols, and that number changes on all reels every spin. The maximum number of Megaways occurs when all 3 reels land 8 symbols. The highest number of Megaways (win ways) possible is 8x8x8, or in other words, 512 ways to win.

The Buy a Bonus option is available in all jurisdictions bar the UK and allows impatient players to head straight to the free spins round at a cost of 100x the chosen bet size. A gamble feature is available for wins in the base game only. Choosing correctly between hearts and spades on the gamble meter doubles your win. Choosing incorrectly voids the win. 8 gambles in the maximum possible unless a win of 500x comes first.

Look and Feel of Joker Megaways

Joker Megaways has a simple design with three individual reels, each surrounded by a border of glowing bulbs. Symbols are old school, very simply drawn fruits, on plain white reels. The background is a simple red and white diamond shaped padded wall. There is little in the way of the soundtrack, but the reel noises and accompanying bleeps and buzzes sound authentically retro. There are 7 regular symbols made up of fruits, bells, and gold stars. See the paytables below for symbol values.

Despite the lack of Megaways, cascades, and reaction wins, Joker Megaways manages to hold its own due to an engaging and explosive free spins round. The high value of the symbols coupled with the Joker’s double-act in the bonus round as a wild and win multiplier makes this slot capable of delivering some almighty wins. My initial doubts were swept away by the potency of this simple, effective, and engrossing game.
