Joker Strike

Quickspin have us all starry eyed with their vivid and bright slot game. This is a very upbeat and colourful game featuring those well loved and familiar symbols that we all know from the retro looking slot games. Joker Strike can definitely be compared to a classic slot game, but with a twist because of its newer and more modern look and feel.

When you first open this game you are greeted with a very catchy and upbeat tune which resembles something you would hear on a video game or at a retro bar, it’s hard to decide which one.

Quickspin are no novices in the retro themed slot games, they have created several top rated slots like this, but Joker Strike has that little bit more modern appearance making it much more appealing.

Joker Strike is a perfect game for beginner casino players as it is very easy to get to grips with, but still contains all of the features and excitement you would want as a first time player. There is nothing super crazy about this game, in terms of standing out apart from the beautiful colours and symbols, but it isn’t really the type of game you would pick from a row of other games.

The game is based on a 3x5 reel, with 10 paylines along with some pretty good features. Before you begin playing it would be a good idea to adjust your betting limits, and this can be done very easily by using the Total Bet tabs at the bottom of the screen. The minimum bet that you can make is £0.10, and the maximum bet that you can make is £100, so yet again this is why it is a great game for beginners. In a way this game definitely reminds us of one of their previous fruity slots Hot Sync because of the bright symbols and retro feel. But Quickspin have definitely modernised Joker Strike and made it even better.

The Joker Strike in-game feature is initiated on any symbol line win, this feature will add symbols to the reels if the outer wheel marker ends up stopping on a symbol from any of the line win symbols. There could be a total of 6-10 extra symbols placed on your reels which will give you some fantastic additional wins in the game. The amount of extra symbols you are given will depend on what your longest paying line of that symbol is and it will go as follows:

• 3 of a kind - 6 extra symbols
• 4 of a kind - 8 extra symbols
• 5 of a kind - 10 extra symbols

With this feature you should keep in mind that Wild symbols, and symbols which are a part of the Joker Strike win will not be replaced by these extra paying symbols.

This is an extra special feature in Joker Strike, there are three menus which contain three different Hi Roller modes which you can select from. These modes are represented by a box, and they represent the cost, the number of spins, and the active features for each Hi Roller mode.

The different features are made to give you a better chance at earning some extra coin wins. Let’s go through the different features and explain how they work, and what sort of wins you could get by triggering them:

• Guaranteed Wild - The Guaranteed Wild feature is where with each spin you make, a Wild symbol will be added to the reels and this is done by moving clockwise around the reels, and will continue as such until the reels stop.
• Wild Strike - The Two Wild Strike symbols can be added to the outer wheel. If the Joker Strike marker stops on a Wild symbol, the Joker Strike feature will add Wild symbols onto the reels.
• Double Chance - The Double Chance feature is when an extra marker spins on the outer reel, in turn doubling the chances of hitting the Joker Strike feature.

Joker Strike is undoubtedly a big step up from their previous fruity joker games, and we can see that they have immensely improved with their graphics and sound effects too. There are some great features in this slot game, but we must say there are not as many as we had hoped for from Quickspin.

Even though it is a very exciting and fun game to play, we would say it’s more for the novice casino player who wants to try out something classic and simple. The atmosphere and feel is fantastic, and the symbols really stand out so that is a big plus, the only little stipulation is the lack of features for us!

Quickspin could never fully disappoint us though because they had won our heart a long time ago with slots such as Goldilocks and the Wild Bears which was a massive amount of fun to play.
