Verdict

Novomatic have created a slot game that provides so much fun without the added complicated features of modern online slot machines. The sounds are reminiscent of a 1960s seaside arcade centre but the graphics are very basic indeed.

The addition of the gamble feature allows you to think you can win more – but this feature is allowing the machine to gamble on your behalf. The gamble option is a 50/50 chance – no skill involved, so if you are lucky and do win, you will double your initial line bet – but lose and everything goes. We found this slot machine to be a medium variance slot machine with a minimum return of 80 coins in a winning spin.

The return to player (RTP) percentage of the 5 Line Joker slot machine is 95.00%.
