joker blast bonanza slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

The very first slot machines used playing cards for their symbols; the switch to fruits came later, as the companies manufacturing the machines looked to simplify their designs as part of their quest to come up with an automated payout mechanism. Not long after the first fruit-based slots appeared, jokers were added back into many games as wild symbols, eventually leading to the creation of the joker-slot genre we have today. It’s really quite surprising just how many of these games there are – Fire Joker, Dueling Jokers, and Joker Lanterns Hit’n’Roll are just three such examples, but you’ll find dozens more in our review library. As far as I’m aware though, this is the first Joker-themed game to feature a scatter-pay mechanic, meaning it plays quite differently from the other games mentioned above.

The diamond is the highest-paying symbol on the paytable, offering a top payout of 20x the total bet when 12 or more symbols land anywhere on the reels. The lucky seven is next, awarding 10x for all 12 symbols, whilst the bell and orange offer 7.5x and 5x the total bet, respectively. As for the low pays, those are represented by the more traditional or generic fruits that you’ll no doubt have seen featured in dozens if not hundreds of other slots – you’ll receive 3x your bet for a maximum group of cherries, 2.5x for the grapes, 2x for a strawberry, 1.5x for a plum, or just 1x for the lowly lemons. Oh, and one more thing – the Joker acts as the scatter symbol in this game and will pay you a respectable 100x the total bet should you manage to land all six simultaneously.

Pragmatic Play still allows players a relatively large amount of freedom to choose how much they wish to bet when spinning their slots. There are minimum/maximum limits of €0.20 and €100.00 per spin, respectively, along with dozens of other choices in between the two limits. Thumbs up for that one, Pragmatic Play!

base game & modifiers

The design of the playfield is identical to that of Starlight Princess, with six reels of five rows each. The requirement of hitting at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the screen to receive a win also matches Pragmatic’s previous scatter-pay smash hit, but that’s roughly where the similarities end.

joker blast bonanza slot bonus features

The large playfield used in Joker Blast Bonanza is great in that it allows you to win many times from the initial symbol drop, but there is also a downside: the minimum number of scatters required to activate the bonus round has been increased to four, rather than the usual three. The number of triggering scatters does not affect how many free spins you will receive, but there is a cash bonus of up to 100x the total bet for a six-scatter trigger.
