Joker Chase Slot Machine

Among the Bar slots from software house Platipus, Joker Chase stands out for its original gameplay and bet customization. While most of these slots offer few paylines and no extra bonuses, this title features 243 paylines distributed across a grid of 5 vertical reels and 3 horizontal rows. The symbols spinning on the screen are the classic fruit symbols, red 7, golden bells, stars and BAR labels, but the design is modern and bears no resemblance to the sparse 2D graphics of old physical machines. The game's RTP is set at 95% with high volatility.

Joker Chase slot machine: features

A pleasant and discreet Jazz piano is the soundtrack chosen by Platipus to accompany gaming sessions on this slot. The graphics, on the other hand, are simply explosive with red and gold colors making the screen bright and particularly luxurious. You'll easily notice that the symbol design is also very detailed: they are drawn in pseudo-3D and decorated with exceptional details, like water droplets and a glossy, luminous finish that perfectly conveys the freshness of the fruit - it's mouth-watering! The minimum bet, which includes all 243 winning possibilities, starts at €0.80 and the highest proposed bet is €80.

No surprises, apart from the design style, can be found in the paytable, which features the most traditional symbols beloved by bar slot enthusiasts:

• Red 7 pays up to 80x;
• BAR label pays up to 60x;
• Golden bell pays up to 40x;
• Golden star pays up to 40x.

Then there are the fruit icons, which represent the game's lower payouts. Plum, cherries, lemons and grapes all pay from a minimum of 1x to a maximum of 20x for 5 matching icons.

Additional symbols that return cash prizes are the Wild, which pays 80x with 5 aligned tiles, the Scatter which offers up to 50x the base bet, and the Bonus Symbol, which can pay up to 80x in Free Spins.

Bonus features of the Joker Chase slot

Wild: the Joker symbol substitutes all base icons and can appear on the second, third, fourth and fifth reels. It depicts the slot's protagonist jester and can appear as either a single icon or as a Stacked Wild covering the entire reel.

Scatter: depicts a pure diamond and, obtaining this symbol at least 3 times during the same spin activates the Free Spins feature. It can return a payout of x2, x10 or x50 depending on whether it lands 3, 4 or 5 times.

Bonus Symbol: this is a golden coin with the jester's face imprinted on it. Getting 6 or more of these coins in base games activates the Respin feature, while in Free Spin games it also functions as a Wild.

Free Spins: starting free spins are 6, but can be reactivated if 3 or more Scatter symbols land on the game grid. In this feature there are two Wild icons, represented by the Wild and Bonus Symbol.

Respin Feature: Bonus Symbols award 3 free spins during which only golden coin icons fall on the screen. These bear a monetary value and their sum constitutes the player's prize at the end of the feature. Each coin that locks on the screen resets the initial number of Respins, which only end when 3 consecutive spins occur without any icon locking. The feature also ends if all 15 spaces become occupied by coins, earning the player the Grand Jackpot. Besides this, there are 3 other available Jackpots that can be obtained directly with Bonus icons.

Jackpot: the game features 4 Jackpots that can be won during the Respin Feature. Specifically, the Mini Jackpot pays 400x the bet, the Minor Jackpot pays 800x the bet, the Major Jackpot offers 4,000 times the initial bet, and the Grand Jackpot offers the incredible prize of 40,000x the base bet.

Pros and cons of the Joker Chase slot

Joker Chase, in terms of bonuses and available prizes, truly has no rivals. The reactivatable Free Spins Respins with 4 Jackpots truly meet all expectations and show how Platipus, with this title, really wanted to offer the possibility of striking it rich! The only drawback, which can be considered an acceptable compromise given the predicted prizes, is the 95% RTP and high volatility.
