Star Joker Slot Review

Star Joker is a slot from Play’n GO with 5 reels and 10 paylines. This fruit machine has been released in December 2018 and can be played at online casinos such as ComeOn!, LeoVegas or Maria Casino.

Theme and game basics

Fruit machines tend to be simple slots and Star Joker is not the exception. Indeed, it’s probably one of the simplest slot machines we’ve seen lately, and we have seen quite a lot of those.

On the reels we find classic 7s, diamonds, bells, melons, oranges, plums, strawberries and cherries. The star is the wild, worth 500x your stake for a 5-of-a-kind win. The 7s are worth 100x your stake for such a winning combination, whereas the diamonds pay out 50x your stake and bells still 25x.

In other words, payouts can be pretty impressive even with the lower value symbols.

Apart from looking very classic in almost every way, this slot has a bit of a modern twist to it as well, giving us a purple background and disco soundtrack.

You can play this game from €0.10 to €100.

A base game with a tutorial

When you first start the game, you can actually go through a tutorial, which shows you how paylines work, what payouts are waiting for you and how to trigger and play the free spins. It’s more or less an interactive video and it can be slightly misleading to beginners, because here big wins are possible and frequent.

So, if you do check out the tutorial, enjoy it with a grain of salt because you won’t be so lucky when you actually start playing the game.

A simple but frequent bonus feature

The joker simple is the scatter in this game and activates the free spins when it lands on reels 1, 3 and 5. That happens fairly regularly, keeping things interesting.

During the free spins, of which you get 10 to begin with, the joker scatter also turns wild, giving you a bonus game with two wild symbols and additional chances to create winning combinations. Three more joker scatters on the reels can re-trigger the free spins once.

And that’s about it. Star Joker really is a very simple game. Though it does offer the gamble feature, where you can double or quadruple your wins with a simple bet.

Conclusion: A simple slot best suited to beginners

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) for Star Joker is 96.25%, which is slightly above average and pretty decent. The main draw to this simple slot game is certainly it’s relatively low volatility and the potential for frequent and sometimes big wins.

You could win 5,000 your stake, if you’re lucky. Mostly, that won’t happen, but if you’ve never played slots before, then this is a good game for beginners.
