Joker Loot

Paul Clare
Reviewed by Paul Clare Last updated:

Somewhere deep underground, a joker has built a mine and he is hell-bent on looting everything in sight. Presumably, all of his ill-gotten gains will be leaving via this underground lair and our job is to make friends with him as quickly as possible and head off into the sunset together. Joker Loot from Relax Gaming is a curious creation that’s certainly worth taking a look at to see how it all works and what we've got to do to bring about the max 12,000x win.

Joker Loot Features

Some games were sent to try our patience with a set of feature instructions that make assembling an Ikea wardrobe seem like a walk in the park. Joker Loot fits firmly in this category and we spent quite some time getting to the bottom of everything. When finally reaching the bottom, we realised that there wasn't an awful lot happening, unfortunately. But there’s still time for Joker Loot to redeem itself. Here's what we discovered about the feature setup.

It all begins with the bags of loot that are hanging from a rope to the left of the reels. This is known as the Cash Hop and it will move down one place with each spin. It begins with an x10 multiplier value and this can be increased with Cash Boost symbols and Multiplier Blank symbols.

Cash Boost symbols are the gold coins with a value of up to +5 and Multiplier Blank symbols are simply blank symbols that present a multiplier value of x2 or x3.

In order to get your hands on the multiplier value placed on the Cash Hop, you need it to enter the reels and start making its way across the screen to the right. Essentially, it has to move 6 places to get from the left to the far right of the reels. It can only enter the first reel when a Blank symbol, Cash Boost symbol or Blank Multiplier symbol land on reel number 1 and happens to fall on the same row that the Cash Hop is currently on.

When all of the stars align and one of the above 3 symbols hits the spot, they will explode and the cash hop enters reel number 1—this is called the Looting Feature. It triggers a respin and you need the same thing to happen on reel number 2 in order for it to progress to the right—and so on. There are also exploding Wild Blast symbols that act as regular wilds and can make way for the Cash Hop symbol on its journey to the right of the screen.

As the Cash Hop symbol completes its epic adventure across the 5 reels it will finally leave the game and award its current multiplier value. At this point, it resets back to the top left-hand corner and makes its way, step by step, down the reels once again.

Cash Hop Symbols

The Cash Hop symbol drops 1 step at a time with each passing spin. Look out for special symbols landing next to it on reel 1 to trigger the Looting Feature.

The Cash Boost, Blank and Multiplier Blank symbols can add to the value of the Cash Hop symbol and trigger the Looting Feature.

If the Cash Hop symbol can make its way across all 5 reels, you pick up the multiplier valuer shown on it.

Free Spins

The bonus game begins with a prize wheel to decide your Cash Hop Multiplier value and awards 8 spins. 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols mean you’ll get 3, 4 or 5 Cash Hop symbols respectively.

Joker Loot Review

We mentioned right at the start that this is, indeed, a curious creation. It has the potential to develop into something quite intriguing but the feature setup doesn't quite feel polished at present.

We like the idea but the major flaw is that you have to work far too hard to reap the rewards of any multiplier figures presented by the Cash Hop symbols during the Looting Feature. And it doesn't feel like it's teasing you either with the potential to see everything unfold in the not-too-distant future. It is hard enough to trigger the Looting Feature let alone watch it make the 6 steps to actually produce any multiplying action.

Design

We aren't quite sure why we are in a mine and we don't know why there is even a joker present in this game. The theme feels disjointed and it doesn't quite work. Nevertheless, the graphics are top class and whatever is going on here looks very good regardless. 

The music is, perhaps, even more strange than the theme choice with a little light jazz playing in the background and you feel like you're waiting for the Pink Panther to pop up at any moment.

Game Play

The chance of triggering the Looting Feature is what keeps you going through the base game, but when it does, that's only the beginning of the task at hand. 

This is all made slightly easier during the free spins game as you have more Cash Hop symbols to start with and a better chance of getting the wheels in motion. If you have the Bonus Buy option and are playing outside the UK, then it might be a good idea to simply get straight to the main feature to watch it all unravel.

Win Potential

There is a very decent 12,000x max win available but the high volatility will not be kind along the way. The hit frequency is just over 20%, so wins will be produced once in every 5 spins, more or less. The RTP is ever so slightly under 96%, but nothing that should cause any great concern.

Our Verdict

We have to admit—rightly or wrongly—any slot featuring a joker does get a frosty reception from us and it's going to have to work hard to get us to like it. Joker Loot didn't raise the bar high enough to convince us that this theme deserves a break! 

It's too difficult to trigger the feature and then even more difficult to get the feature to deliver the goods. On the plus side, the graphics are nice and you could win big if everything lines up at the right time when you hit that spin button. You never know.
