Epic Joker

Players on the lookout for the best video slots won’t want to miss out on Epic Joker, the vintage title released by Malta-based Relax Gaming.

Don’t let this game’s classic aesthetic and simple, three-line structure fool you! There are subtly modern features available, like Super Mode and Joker Re-spins.

Most important of all, this title offers some of the best odds available in any online slot – RTP is an astonishing 97%!

Theme

Relax Gaming takes online slot gaming back to its simple origins here..

A neon background and disco-inspired soundtrack lend gameplay an upbeat feeling. Gaming symbols stay true to the overall vintage feel of this title’s design. They include golden stars, lucky sevens, BAR symbols, peaches, plums, and cherries.

This slot’s most important icon, however…

…. is the Joker Wild Symbol. This substitutes for other symbols to form wins, while also offering this game’s top payout at 100x for three-of-a-kind. The bad news is that Jokers only appear during Joker Re-spins and Super Mode.

Betting Options and Functions

It’s all about simplicity in this slot’s gameplay structure. There are five fixed paylines, all paying from left to right. Overall per-spin bet is set simply from 0.05 – 200.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 1000 spins, or as a simple on/off toggle, with optional win/loss limits available.

Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via an expanding menu at the lower left corner of the game screen. An accelerated game tempo can be enabled at the upper right corner of the game screen. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is phenomenal at 97.00%.

Features

• Joker Re-spins are awarded whenever one or two full stacks of Joker wild symbols land on the reels.
• The original joker stacks remain in place while other reels re-spin.
• The appearance of a second joker stack will re-trigger the features.
• Should all reel positions be taken up by Joker symbols, the jackpot of 500x will be paid.

• Super Mode is triggered by the appearance of the same gaming symbol on all nine reel positions.
• Five free spins are awarded.

Our Take

Relax Gaming hasn’t been releasing its own games for very long, and is not yet a household name among designers. As such, it would be easy for this slot to fly under the radar, not in the least because of its admittedly middle-of-the-pack visuals.

But any game offering 97% RTP is worthy of attention!

Players who enjoy this designer’s approach should explore King of Kings, an Ancient Egypt slot that comes packed with features and offers somewhat milder design.
