A classic fruit machine with a bit of a modern twist is coming our way straight from Tom Horn Gaming’s creative kitchen. Joker Reelz is a five-reel video slot that offers 9 fixed paylines. Playable from $0.50 per spin, the 2020 release offers a couple of rewarding and interesting special features. Look for the Joker Wild, since it will substitute for all regular icons and also trigger Joker Spins. Thanks to the Towering Reel feature, two or three reels can combine to create a giant reel and deliver massive symbols up to 3x3. Players can pocket up to $5,000 in a single spin.
Since we are talking about a classic old-school video slot, you can suppose that the rules of the game are far from complicated, and you will be right. The 2020 release features five reels, three rows, and benefits from 9 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Land at least three matching icons on a payline to start winning payouts. Players can wager from $0.50 to $100 per single spin. If you get tired of hitting the Spin button, you can always activate up to 100 automatic spins in Autoplay. Speed the reels up a bit by activating the Turbo mode.
The visuals are simple but crisp. The reels are set in outer space, which is the case with most old-school slot machines, and the symbols that populate the reels are pretty common. Apart from the four card suits that act as low-paying icons, players will come across Stars, Lucky Sevens, Bells, and Bar symbols. The Joker is the Wild that substitutes for all symbols, and also acts as a Scatter that triggers the Joker Spins feature, where players benefit from respins.
Every time you land a Joker Wild on the reels, you will trigger the Joker Spins feature. Depending on the number of Wilds landed on the triggering spins, you will get a different number of respins. Each Joker will get you one respin. If you land more Joker Wilds during the feature, you will get more respins, it’s as simple as that. The feature is over when there are no more new Joker Wilds on the reels.
As for the other feature, players can benefit from, the Towering Reel feature, it will be randomly triggered at any spin. Two or three randomly picked reels will combine to create one giant reel, and deliver massive 2x2 and 3x3 symbols, which will result in a sweet payout, especially when it lands on the first three reels.
Fans of classic fruit machines will be pleased with what Joker Reelz has to offer. A simple video slot that offers no complicated additional features. The goal is to spin the reels and try to land Joker Wilds, which trigger the Joker Spins feature. Every time a Wild lands, the feature is triggered, and there are no limits when it comes to how many respins you can get. The Towering Reel feature is there to help you land bigger wins, and 3x3 symbols could appear on any spin.
