It is always the right time for playing a spooky-themed game, but even more so during the Halloween season which is exactly the reason why Joker Lanterns is released.
Fans of Jacks, fans of Halloween and fans of classic fruit games are going to get all of that in a single slot machine coming from the Kalamba Games slot list.
Will it be a trick or a treat?
The title may be capturing a classic-style but it boasts a great winning potential!
Is The Theme Spooky Enough?
The moment you load the game, you will be assured it revolves around the popular "scary" holiday by seeing numerous pumpkin lanterns pretending to be Jokers both on the reels and in the background!
The game comes as a classic fruit machine designed in a modern manner and adapted with theme-related details to fit the theme perfectly!
The above-mentioned Joker pumpkin lanterns serve as Wilds, while also bringing some terrifying thrill to the gameplay.
The graphics are executed in high quality, with the dark grid set lit slightly on both sides in front of an orange background, that shows numerous little ghosts and pumpkins. Besides, complementing the theme is a small spider web on the right, with a tiny animated spider going up and down.
On the reels, you will find cherries, plums, grapes, watermelon, clovers, the golden bell, the single, double and triple BAR-symbol, as well as the flaming red 7.
And What About The Betting Options?
This high-volatile holiday-themed game is played across the 6x4 reel set, offering 40 pay lines and solid RTP of 96.1%.
But, before you start this eerie adventure, you should set your bets that range from $0.5 to $100 for a single spin.
When it comes to symbols, they are divided into the lower-paying and higher-paying ones, the first being mostly fruits, with the highest-rewarding one, the Bell, paying just 2x the stake for 6 in combination.
As you would expect, the Lanternpays the most, awarding up to 20x the stake for 6 in a combo.
The scatter symbols are represented by the gold stars with the word “Bonus” on them, while special red Jackpot symbols are probably the ones you will look forward to seeing the most, but we'll come to that later.
What Special Features Can We Expect?
The game wouldn't be festive enough if it didn't come packed with jackpots, extra free spins and HyperBet and HyperBonus feature to make sure players have a real celebration spinning the dark reels!
Since we have lastly talked about the special symbols, we should also mention the Wild that comes with a different multiplier value depending on what of the four HyperBet levels you choose.
This means that you will either choose to have a Multiplier Wild value of x1, x3, x5 or x10, as well as a Free Spins Bonus starting with 5, 8, 10 or 12 spins respectively!
Now, speaking of the Free Spins feature, to trigger it, you need at least three bonus symbols, after which you will be firstly awarded 3x or 4x the stake cash prize and then get a certain amount of extra spins!
When the bonus round starts, you will see the star meter on the right, so, each time you collect three of the bonus stars, you will be awarded an additional three free spins!
But, here's the kicker!
The real prizes await fr you in the form of four Jackpots - Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum that increase in value, as your bet range rises!
To trigger them, you should land 7 or more of jackpot symbols anywhere on the reel set, and the more you land, the bigger the Jackpot (see here) you will receive.
If you are lucky enough to have 14 or more of the special symbols, you’ll be awarded the most powerful Platinum Jackpot!
Not Bad At All!
What Is Our Take?
Kalamba Games manages to upgrade their slot list with this superbly designed title, and though maybe not with attention to the smallest detail when it comes to graphics...
...but surely when it comes to the pack of special features.
Nevertheless, mixing a retro fruit game with the spooky theme is a good choice, and supplementing it with a good RTP percentage and the top prize of 10,000x the stake should leave you with enough facts to give this slot a chance!
