ABOUT JOKER’S COINS: HOLD AND WIN
The Joker’s Coins: Hold and Win slot is Playson’s latest fruit slot. Playson is a highly innovative developer of slots of all types, but lately they’ve drawn attention with their revamping of classic fruit slots, such as Burning Wins x2 and The Fruit Megaways.
Joker Coins: Hold and Win is a high-volatility game with a simple layout and several interesting bonus features and symbols. Joker’s Coins: Hold and Win would be suitable both for higher risk and more casual punters. The betting limit is a minimum of £0.10 or a maximum of £100 per spin. There are several ways to win big with this slot, including triggering a maximum win that can be over 3,000x the bet.
THEMES, SYMBOLS AND PAYTABLE
The Joker’s Coins: Hold and Win slot is the newest addition to Playson’s Timeless Fruits series. This, and other games in the series, are characterized by their straightforward gameplay and classic design.
The theme is, you guessed it, fruity, with all the familiar symbols: plums, oranges, lemons, cherries, and the joker symbol is the Wild. There is also the gold coin symbol which activates the Bonus Game. We’ll give an explanation of the game’s bonus feature later in our review.
RTP, VARIANCE AND PAYOUTS
Joker’s Coins: Hold and Win does not pay often, given there are only five pay lines. But because it is considered a high-risk (high volatility/variance) game with only five pay li, the payouts, when they occur, will be bigger.
As far as the payout rate is concerned, the Joker’s Coins Hold and Win RTP is a theoretical 95.71%. The biggest payouts are likely to occur during the Bonus Game, where you can trigger one of four jackpots. While the limited 5 paying lines make it harder to strike a winning combination, the Wild boosts the chances to strike a paying combination, particularly with some of the lower-paying fruit symbols. The best payout the slot game offers is somewhat small, with a maximum possible win of around 3,000x the staked sum.
GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES
You don’t need any pre-existing knowledge of online slots to play Joker’s Coins: Hold and Win. This is a game where you can both hone your gaming skills and add some cash to your balance. Open the game, set your bet amount per spins, and press the spin button.
Just so you know what to expect, open the game’s menu to see how it’s played and how it pays out. In the following sections of our Joker’s Coins: Hold and Win review we’ll discuss the game’s mechanics, paylines, and examine one of its main features.
JOKER COINS HOLD AND WIN PAYOUTS
Being a traditional fruit slot, Joker’s Coins doesn’t have any special paying systems such as tumbling reels, clusters, or dissolving blocks. While there is a wild symbol, there are no scatter symbols, which, as a rule, activate a slot’s free spins. Therefore, Joker Coins lacks a proper in-game free spins feature.
There are a total of five pay lines during base game. Winning combinations pay left-to-right when three matching symbols line up horizontally on the top, middle, and bottom rows across all three reels. The two remaining pay lines trigger when matching symbols align diagonally in the top-left, middle, and the bottom-right blocks, and vice versa – when symbols align in the top-right, middle, to the bottom-left blocks.
JOKER COINS: HOLD AND WIN- BONUS GAME FEATURE
Joker’s Coins has only a few features that can award bonuses or contribute to winning combinations. These are the Wild and bonus symbols, bonus game, and the Jackpot Spin. The Jackpot Spin is activated when all blocks are upgraded, which automatically activates one of four jackpots in the Bonus Game: Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand.
Three gold coin bonus icons anywhere will activate the Bonus Game. The gold coin symbols are one of the game’s top-paying symbols. Each gold coin has a specific multiplier-like value which can increase your win from 1x to 15x, relative to the amount of the bet. The catch is that the gold symbols only pay during the Bonus Game. The Bonus Game begins with three re-spins, and every bonus symbol that lands during bonus play will give 3 more respins and a chance to win one of the four jackpots.
OUR VERDICT
Playson carries on the tradition of releasing top-shelf slots available at UK slot sites, with its newest title being Joker’s Coins Hold and Win. While nothing particularly extraordinary, the game does come with four in-game jackpot prizes that can be won during Bonus Game play. If you want to sample similar games from their catalog, you can try their Sevens & Fruits: 6 Reels with 5 pay lines, or Sevens & Fruits with 20 pay lines.
