Though at the time of release Joker was grabbing awards left and right, that’s not what this slot is about. Instead…
…this Kalamba slot trusts in the far earlier joker, the one that brought fun into both medieval courts, card games, and classic slots.
Despite the roots, the game is a very modern one, employing a load of different features and specials to spice up things a bit (and even more than a bit!). Even the reels themselves are extended for a larger collection of symbols to fit in.
Theme
The joker here is quite a modern one, and the theme is more electric than you would expect. The audio effects are a mix of disco music and chill lounge tunes.
The graphics are polished, and instead of using the same old stale images for basic symbols show up quite detailed icons. They look better on bigger screens but work fantastically on smaller ones as well. In addition to the joker, you have a ton of familiar symbols like fruits and bars.
Betting Options and Functions
The playing area has 6 reels, with 4 symbols each. Through these travel 40 paylines, which allows for most symbol combinations to fire up. When it comes to wins, the basic paytable offers quite small prizes, which luckily hit somewhat often.
The game has a pretty decent RTP, and quite high volatility.
If you are wondering why the small prizes still come around like this was a low volatility game, it’s because all the big wins can be found through the bonus features (there’s a buy a bonus button as well).
Features
Without doubt, the biggest wins can be landed via the jackpot function. These are a group of four different jackpots:
- Platinum -requires 14 jackpot symbols.
- Gold - requires 12 jackpot symbols.
- Silver - requires 9 jackpot symbols.
- Bronze - requires 7 jackpot symbols.
These are not progressive jackpots, instead, they only increase individually for each player. The more you play, the higher the pots will be. The highest wins can go into the thousands.
Multiplier Wilds show up during bonus games and base games, though you have to play around with the hyperbet selector to make the most of them. At best, you can get a multiplier of 10 for your wins!
Likewise:
The hyperbet selector (increases your bet) allows for more initial bonus spins when the scatters land. During the feature, you get to collect bonus symbols, which award prizes and more spins.
Our Take
Joker Max is all about maxing out. This is not a slot for everyone, but for those looking for high stakes gaming combined with classical and modern influences should find a good game here.
Kalamba has never been afraid to experiment, and even if it doesn’t always result in slots that everyone loves, it will certainly result in games that play out differently.
