Once in a while, online casino software developers will set aside the desire to innovate new features in exchange for the opportunity to pay tribute to the classic online slots that got the industry started more than 20 years ago. Such was the case with top software Developer Play'n GO with its 2016 release of the classic fruit slot Fire Joker.
If there's anything that stands out about this slot among the population of older classic slots is the game's soundtrack and the use of a couple of modern functions not typically found with the older games other than the Starburst slot from Netent.
Game Format
Fire Joker is a simple classic fruit machine. The slot is played with three reels, three rows and only five pay lines. In line with the game's simple format is the game's equally simple betting structure. The minimum bet per spin on Fire Joker is 5p up to a maximum bet per spin of €/$ 100. The game does come with an auto-play feature that allows the player to set the total of auto-spins as high a 50 spins at a time.
Through the audit process, Fire Joker has been assigned a Return to Player (RTP) rating of 96.15%. The game also has a low variance rating.
Game Symbols
As a fruit slot, it's not surprising that most of Fire Joker's symbols are represented by different fruits. The game's low paying symbols are represented by cherries, lemons, grapes and plums, plus the mystery X symbol. The game's higher paying symbols are represented by a single BAR, a star and the lucky 7 symbol. Finally, the Fire Joker serves as the game's only wild symbol. The wild can be used as a substitute for any other symbol and does play a role in one of the game's bonus features. Also, the Fire Joker wild offers the highest possible payout at 80x the wager for three in a row.
The game does not include a scatter symbol, free spins or bonus spins.
Game Play
During any ordinary spin, payouts are provided for any three symbols (including one or two wild symbols as substitutes) in a row. As indicated above, Fire Joker is devoid of free spins and bonus spins much like the aforementioned Starburst slot. What the game does provide is two bonus features.
- Flaming Re-Spin feature - This feature is initiated if the player lands two reels with the same symbols on a single pay line. In such cases, the player is rewarded with one free spin on the third reel to see if the can land a winning combination.
- Wheel of Multipliers - This feature is initiated if the player lands the same symbol on all three rows of a single reel. At that point, a multiplier wheel will appear. The player will use this wheel to spin for a multiplier that goes as high as 10x. That would make the game's highest possible jackpot €/$ 80,000 (80x X 10x X €/$ 100).
Verdict
As a fruit slot, Fire Joker has its appeal due in large part to the game's bonus features. The fact the game also holds the potential of returning a max jackpot of €/$80,000 should appeal to slot players of all level. With all that said, Fire Joker still acts and feels like a classical slot, like it or not.
