Mega Joker Slot Review

Relive the days of Vegas gambling hall fun with the classic fruit machine Mega Joker, which has a high return-to-player rate and a progressive jackpot.

Slot Game intro

With Mega Joker you can enjoy classic slot game fun with a top and a bottom set of 3×3 reels. As it’s one of NetEnt’s older slot games, it is rather old-school in its appearance and the graphics are not as top-notch as other games from this game provider. However, this slot remains a favourite amongst players due to its high return-to-player rate and progressive jackpot.

Gameplay

The classic online one-armed bandit Mega Joker has 10 bet levels and a minimum wager of ￡0.10 per round. Other coin values are ￡0.20 and ￡1, which means you can place a maximum bet of ￡10. You can play Mega Joker in Basic and Supermeter mode. In the latter mode you play for higher stakes. When you play at top bet level 10, all 5 paylines are active and you automatically play in Supermeter mode, which is played at the top reels. Basic mode is played on lower bet levels on the bottom reels.

The return to player rate increases with the amount of coins wagered. At coin level 1 the RTP is 76.9 percent. At coin level 10 this increases to 89.1 up to 99 percent. The maximum win per bet line is ￡2000, this is excluding the jackpot. The maximum win without jackpot can be even higher if a game round consists of several spins that hit a win.

Special Features

Supermeter Mode

The Supermeter mode is activated when you hit a win on top bet level 10 and in this mode you play for higher stakes. Any credit you have from the basic game will be transferred to Supermeter Mode on the top reels. You play with the same coin value as the one that activated this mode, yet there are four bets available at coin value 20, 40, 100 and 200. These values correspond with the same amounts in pound sterling.

All five bet lines are activated and the game automatically selects the highest possible bet as far as your credit allows it. You can click the BET button to scroll through the bets available and choose the one you like to play with. You can exit Supermeter mode by clicking COLLECT for your winnings to be credited.
When you play at bet value 100 and you play a joker in the middle reel, you are awarded a mystery win of between 100 and 2000 coins, which will be added to your Supermeter credit.

Jackpot

Mega Joker features a progressive jackpot that can be hit randomly. The value of the jackpot increases with every spin in the main game. Any jackpot win will be added to your betline-win and the jackpot amount will be reset. The expected jackpot value is ￡17,000 with a default seed value of ￡2000.

Verdict

Mega Joker is an old-school fruit machine, that has been out for several years and remains a big hit with players. This game is more volatile at lower bet and coin levels, which makes it a very interesting game for players who wager with higher stake as the chance of hitting a win increase significantly at higher coin values. The progressive jackpot adds a great element of surprise and excitement, as it can be triggered randomly.

This game might be less appealing to players who prefer slots with fancier themes and graphics and/or plenty of features. This game doesn’t remain so popular for nothing and is an excellent game for straightforward, exciting classic slot game fun.
