Joker Bombs Slot – Free Demo

Jokers, Bombs and a 49.7% Return

Joker Bombs is Hacksaw Gaming's scatter-pays release, a medium volatility slot that is built around the bonus. Over 390 spins at a 5.00 stake the session wagered 1,950.00 and won back 968.50, a 49.7% return that left the balance at 4,018.50.

Joker Bombs is a 6-reel, 5-row slot with scatter pays that is playable on all platforms, and players can wager between 0.20 to 100. Five Free Spins rounds landed in those spins, and the best was a retriggered round on spin 145 that paid 105.00, 21x the stake.

Balloons, Candies and Three Kinds of Bomb

The low-value symbols are depicted by balloons. The Star Balloon heads that group at 15x the stake for 15 or more, ahead of the Heart and Cloud Balloons at 10x and the Red and Blue Balloons at 5x. The high-pays here are depicted by Blue, Green, Purple and Red Candies. The latter is the most rewarding, and it delivers a 200 times the stake win for 15 or more anywhere on the matrix. A win needs 8 or more of the same symbol anywhere on the grid, with no need for adjacent reels or a start on the leftmost reel.

There is scope for some respectable wins in the base game as the symbols tumble on the matrix, particularly with the aid of the Multiplier Bombs. Normal Bombs carry 2x, 3x or 4x, Revealing Bombs add 5x, 10x, 25x or 50x, and Epic Bombs multiply the pending total by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x. They come into action now and then, and when a winning spin arrives, the bombs detonate and their multipliers are applied to the spin's overall win. An Epic Bomb only goes off when there is already a pending multiplier for it to multiply. It seldom results in any remarkable wins. The best base-game spin of the session paid 37.50 on spin 362, 7.5x the stake, and 81 of the 130 paying spins returned less than the stake.

Joker Scatters and the 100x Shortcut

Joker Bombs ships with a Buy-A-Bonus choice. Like so, players will be moved straight to the free spins feature for the price of 100 times the stake, though of course players can also activate the free spins game the traditional route by hitting 3 or more Joker scatters. At the session's 5.00 stake that price comes to 500.00, which is more than any of the five rounds played paid back.

The Multiplier Bombs drop more frequently and with bigger values, kicking off with 10 free spins, and moreover, 3 more Jokers carry with them 5 extra free spins. Only one of the session's rounds retriggered, running to 15 free spins, while the other four stayed at 10 and paid between 16.00 and 90.00.

Minty Slots Verdict: Now that it has grown more embraced and standardised, including a Buy-A-Bonus choice does make some sense. The five rounds paid 310.00 between them, 32% of everything won over the session, and the first took until spin 136 to arrive. Either way, this slot is built around the bonus.
