Joker Jack

ThunderSpin has unveiled an array of slots with interesting features and far-reaching themes, but sometimes the classics are best.

Enter Joker Jack – this five-reel slot’s is as old as the original ‘one-armed bandits’ that made slots famous, but its features are modern and its design rock solid. Bonus features offer up to 30 free spins at a time.

Theme

Classic with a twist is the order of the day in Joker Jack, and all elements of gaming design fit into that model. The five reels are simply arrayed against a green, felt background, looking as though they were on a physical slot instead of a digital one. Raucous party music roars in the background, making it seem like players are attending a wild rave while the reels are in motion.

Gaming symbols include the classic fruits of slot gaming: cherries, lemons, watermelons, strawberries, bananas, plums, grapes, and oranges. A new set of gaming symbols awaits players during the free spin feature, just as classically-inspired: golden bar symbols, horseshoes, stars, bells, crowns, and lucky number sevens.

Two nasty-looking jokers also appear on the reels. The male joker acts as scatter, the gateway to free spins, while the lady joker acts as wild, substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations.

Betting Options and Functions

ThunderSpin is a subsidiary of the Malta-based company BOSS., which offers complete casino packages to its clients. Though not a fully independent designer, however, AGames delivers consistently excellent games on par with anything coming out of industry giants such as Microgaming or NetEnt.

Their excellent design team has seen to every detail in Joker Jack. There are 10 paylines (appropriate for a slot with a card-playing theme), all paying from left to right. Bet level is adjustable from 1–10, with coin value adjustable from 0.01–1.00 for an overall per-spin bet range of 0.10–100.00 times the betting currency.

Autoplay is available for up to 500 spins, with optional win and loss limits if the feature is engaged through the settings menu, which also allows players to adjust sound and image options, as well as quickspin. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is very strong at 95.9%.

Features

Bonus features are one advantage of modern slots that the original one-armed bandits did not have. Here, ThunderSpin transcends its slot’s classic theme and opts for a rich and appealing free spin feature.

The bonus begins when three or more of the male joker symbol appears anywhere on the reels. Either 10, 20, or 30 free spins will be awarded, during which time a double win multiplier is in play.

Our Take

ThunderSpin does admirable work in Joker Jack: this slot balances the traditional and the modern in exquisite fashion. Players who enjoy this game’s structure and want to try other slots by this designer are encouraged to try out the underwater-themed Gold Sea.
