ELK Studios surprise with their new Joker Gems slot

It’s been quite a while since ELK Studios last released a slot. Apparently, they’ve been working on their latest release: Joker Gems. A slot that is indeed a gem.

Joker Gems

ELK Studios are well-known to bring us unique slots with an unusual gameplay, stunning graphics and something nobody has done before.

Joker Gem follows that philosophy, though some game mechanics are not entirely new, but the slot as a whole certainly is.

You get a 5×5 grid of symbols with a starry theme not unlike that of Starburst. The slot only has seven symbols: four gems, a BAR, a lucky 7 and a Joker, which is absolutely gorgeous in its details.

Any three matching symbols forming a cluster on the reels will yield a winning combination. But that’s not all, the cluster will actually be held on the reels for a re-spin, hopefully resulting in more matching symbols to show up. It’s even possible that a different cluster will appear and be held as well. As long as more matching symbols attach themselves to the cluster, more re-spins will be awarded. That only ends when the screen is either full of matching symbols or no further symbols appear.

Three fixed jackpots

This is the first jackpot slot that ELK Studios offers and whilst it’s not a progressive jackpot, the wins are still pretty spectacular.

Filling up the 9 symbols in the middle with matching symbols will trigger the €10,000 jackpot. Forming a pattern of filling up all symbols on the edge all around the reels, will trigger the €20,000 jackpot.

Filling up all symbols with one matching symbol, will trigger the €50,000 jackpot. Now you can see how those re-spins adding more matching symbols to a cluster can come in handy.

A game worth trying

Joker Gems isn’t an overly complicated and not a very sophisticated slot either. But it is quite beautiful in its simplicity and it offers some entertaining gameplay. Wins aren’t too rare, and those re-spins can add up nicely.

With a little luck, you might even win one of the three jackpots. We’re glad to see another ELK Studios slot at the casinos.
