Free Reelin' Joker Review
Play'n GO has made it their mission to re-invent fruit machine slots into something more creative. With successful slots such as Fire Joker and Fire Joker Freeze, it was only a matter of time until they release another slot inspired by classical slots.
Free Reelin' Joker plays on 3-reels with 1 distinct payline - but there's a twist. The reels can expand to even more symbols meaning that the payout is even bigger!
Design
As expected in a slot called Free Reelin' Joker, the background is inspired by jesters and harlequins. The flooring is red and white chequered with gold and red trims across the reels. Surprisingly, there are random red lights in the background that feel more like a funfair attraction rather than a circus but it's not too distracting.
Naturally, the reels contain fruit symbols and typical fruit machine symbols such as lucky 7s which definitely reinforce the old school vibe this slot is going for.
Now the music is perhaps the oddest choice with a synthesizer track. Ultimately, it feels more like a horror film from the 70s with the score and it's incredibly offputting.
Gameplay
As this slot is a traditional fruit machine slot, you can expect simple and easy gameplay. There are only 3-reels with 1 payline and all you have to do is just match 3 symbols.
Players can find all the relevant menus at the bottom of the screen with the spin button to the far right of the reels and the autospin button next to it. To the far left of the bottom menus, you can find the paytable highlighted by the 'i' symbol. You'll find the sound settings and other important details on the black bar at the bottom.
Win Potential
Free Reelin' Joker is a medium volatility slot with a high RTP of 96.17%. Sadly, the biggest payout for this slot is 1,000x your stake which is low for modern online slots. This can be found by landing Golden Joker symbols on the fully expanded reels for the maximum payout.
Our Verdict
Fans of traditional fruit slot machines will enjoy this slot for the nostalgic look and appreciate the modern features thrown into the mix. Sadly, modern online slot players may struggle to engage with this slot as the features are still minimum and have no modern features such as free spins or respins.
Of course, this slot isn't for modern slot players and therefore it does exactly what it tries to do. The traditional fruit machine formula additions aren't too extreme and will be appreciated by fans of the genre. If this sounds like something you enjoy, then definitely give it a spin. However, if you enjoy modern slots, perhaps check out other Play'n GO titles such as Moon Princess or Reactoonz.
