Kalamba Games employs a team that rarely, if ever, runs out of ideas. They are driven by creativity and draw inspiration from all sorts of subjects. With Joker 3600, there was no need or an elaborate theme and endless details. The company wanted to make a brightly-coloured slot game with 3D effects, neon and a distinctly 80s vibe. So they did.

The game is meant to feel nostalgic and to resonate with the 40-and-over demographic particularly. Of course, new generations of slot lovers are welcome to enjoy this bundle of various entertaining elements, from fruits and arcade, to basic computing and unique slot features such as the HyperBonus and progressive jackpots.

Launching Joker 3600 takes you in front of a neon-powered arcade game in full 80s style that somehow includes all the classic fruit machine symbols, from watermelons and grapes to lemons and lucky sevens. The reason why the number 3,600 is in the title is that there are 3,600 ways to win in this slot as it is an All Ways Pay game with a 5-4-3-3-4-5 layout. On one side of the reels you will see the HyperBonus Select button, and on the other side the values of the three progressive jackpots, the Silver Bonus Jackpot, the Gold Bonus Jackpot and the Platinum Bonus Jackpot.

Joker 3600 allows one to set the stakes and turn on automatic spins, eventually turn the sound on and off as well. The rest is left to chance. The Joker is the Wild symbols and a neon letter ‘B’ is the Bonus symbol required to trigger the freebies round. If you don’t want to wait for them line up properly you can choose one of the four HyperBonus levels, pay a little extra and play through 8, 12, 15 or 20 free spins with multipliers. During free spins, regular Joker Wilds are replaced with 2x and 3x Wilds. Earning 2 or more Bonus symbols during the feature adds extra free spins.

The jackpot prizes grow bigger with each wager, and to get a chance to win one of them, the player needs to collect a combination of diamond symbols and Jokers. Should 12 of them land on a single spin, the Silver Bonus Jackpot is paid. At least 14 of them is required for the Gold Bonus Jackpot, and for the chief prize the player needs to accumulate 16 or more Jokers and diamonds. The good thing is that 2x and 3x Wilds count as 2 and 3 symbols, making it a tad easier to reach the objective.

While chasing Jokers and diamonds, the player is meant to have good old classic fun with this slot, but also feel the modern vibe through its 3D visuals. The game offers a max win of 13,000x bet and the return rate is set at 96.60%. If you’re into retro slots, don’t miss out on this one.
