Eighteen times the stake was the best a Joker line managed across 330 spins at 15.00, and the balance closed at 8,121.50 from 11,000.00. This 100-line fruit machine has no free spins at all, just a double-or-nothing Gamble once something pays and a Star scatter that counts anywhere.
Oh boy, launching this slot I didn't grasp what was what, so I quit reading the rules and just plunged right into it. I was hoping to discover along the way. There is no free spins round to find, only a Gamble option offered after a win to try to double it.
Fruits & Jokers: 100 Lines has a typical layout of 5 reels, 4 rows and 100 pay lines. The lines are fixed, and a line win needs 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on one of them. At least when glancing at the mechanics, it's not far from a classic slot. Imperial Fruits: 100 Lines and Fire Joker are other fruit-and-joker titles.
Symbols on the reels comprise lemons, cherries, oranges, grapes, watermelons and sevens. The latter pay the most of the fruit set, granting 2.6 times the stake for 5 on a line. The Star scatter pays anywhere on the reels, from 5 times the stake for 3 up to 400 times for 5.
Core to the game is the Joker wild symbol. It arrives stacked, substitutes for every symbol except the Star, and awards up to 15 times the stake for 5 on a line. My biggest win came on spin 108, a 270.00 payout worth 18 times the stake that included five Jokers on a line.
Minty’s Expert Conclusion: Wagering at a 15.00 stake proved to be pricey. In total I wagered 4,950.00 and won 2,071.50, finishing on a balance of 8,121.50 from 11,000.00. With no bonus round, it only returned 41.8% over 330 spins.
