If you miss the glitzy lights and the atmosphere of a brick and mortar casino, but you simply lack the time to visit one, then Betdigital has the perfect solution to your problem. That’s Joker 10,000, a classic-themed video slot offering a three-reel layout, drawing its inspiration from the old-fashioned arcade video slot machines. Unlike some classic-themed games that do have modern features, Joker 10,000 is old-school all the way. This means players won’t be able to enjoy Wilds or Free Spins, and instead will depend on the good old’ Risk/Gamble game to increase their winnings. However, the Supermeter feature will enable punters to scoop handsome prizes worth up to 10,000 times their bet.
As soon as the game starts, it is obvious the game is designed to emulate a traditional gaming machine placed in a real land-based casino. Due to its nature, winning payouts is very simple – all you need is to have 3 symbols of the same kind across a payline. This Betdigital May 2017 release comes with a three-reel three-row layout, with 5 adjustable paylines for players to benefit from. The coin denomination ranges from $0.01 to $5, while your total wager – depending on the number of active lines – can go anywhere up to $50 per spin.
In terms of visuals, this fruit-themed retro game doesn’t offer any stunning graphics and top-notch animation, but it’s not a bad-looking game. The Reels are set on classic slot machine display, filled with lots of bright lights. Populating the reels are familiar classic icons, such as cherries, watermelons, lemons and BAR symbols. The highest-paying symbol is the golden crown, awarding a payout worth 100 times your wager for all 5 across a payline. Unfortunately, there are no Wilds and Scatters available (at least not in the Main Game, but more about that later), but believe us when we tell you that you won’t miss them at all!
Joker 10,000 comes with two special modes, which further add to the excitement and can also lead to handsome prizes.
The first special mode is the Supermeter feature, where you can claim nice payouts thanks to the lucky Joker. To be able to do so, you’ll need to activate all 5 reels, and after you score a win, you’ll be given 3 options: you can claim your winnings, you can try to double it using the gamble feature, or you can add it to the Supermeter. If you choose the last option, you’ll receive 1 or more Joker symbols, which can be used as Scatter if the Supermeter is activated.
If you manage to get 2 Joker symbols on the same paylines, you will receive a Mystery Prize, which can be worth up to a staggering 10,000 times your wager. This is also the biggest payout you can get while playing Joker 10,000.
The second special mode is the usual gamble feature, which allows you to double your winnings. All you need to do is to guess the colour of the next card from the deck. A Free Spins round could have been a nice addition to the game, but as we’ve already mentioned – you won’t miss it at all.
This is a nice classic-themed video slot, offering an enjoyable playing experience and a chance to scoop some nice prizes. With prizes of up to 10,000 the bet up for grabs, it will sound appeal to all player, no matter whether they are hardcore fans of the genre or not. Although there are no Wilds and Free Spins, the special modes it offers definitely make up for it.
