With the most recent installment of its hugely popular Joker series, Joker MAX, Kalamba Games is giving online slot players a taste of Las Vegas.
With a ton of features, Joker MAX aims to build on the popularity of Kalamba's first Joker game, Joker Supreme, which the developer of online casino games released last year.
Despite being based on the same idea as Joker Supreme, Joker MAX has better graphics and animations, larger multiplier options, and more ways to win than its predecessor.
When the game begins, players are presented with a 64 grid that includes both traditional fruit slot symbols and game-specific ones that serve as Wilds and Scatters to boost winning chances and activate bonus features.
The four jackpot rewards offered by Joker MAX are the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the highest Platinum jackpot. When 7, 9, 12, and 14 Jackpot symbols appear on the reels, respectively, the jackpots are activated.
There are two different kinds of wild symbols in the game: ordinary wilds and multiplier wilds. A girl dressed as a jester stands in for them all. While Wild symbols can replace all other symbols barring Multiplier Wild, Jackpot, and Bonus symbols, Multiplier Wilds can replace all other symbols bar the Bonus and Jackpot symbols.
Multiplier Wilds increase the winnings by the amount indicated on the symbol when they are a part of a winning combination. The Multiplier Wild value in the main game can be changed using the HyperBet Selector, which is on the right side of the screen, with possibilities of x1, x3, x5, and x10.
When three scattered Bonus symbols land on the reels, the Free Spins bonus is activated. For three Bonus symbols, they pay x2, and for four Bonus symbols, x4. The HyperBet Selector allows players to change the number of starting free spins.
For every three Bonus Accumulator symbols (Star symbols) gathered during the Free Spins feature, players are awarded three extra free spins. As a result, there is a chance for an endless supply of bonus spins.
Through the HyperBonus function, players may also purchase Free Spins. Players have the option to select from a variety of bets to play with, including larger Multiplier Wild values and more initial free spins, by clicking the HyperBonus button in the left corner of the screen.
High volatility slot Joker MAX has a nice RTP of 96.10%. The 40 paylines in the game must be activated by a player landing three or more matching symbols on an active payline in order for the paytable to appear.
According to COO and co-founder of Kalamba Games Alex Cohen, their most recent game, Joker MAX, "will be another major hit with players across different demographics" since it "builds on the successful concept, gameplay, and mathematics employed in Joker Supreme."
