Joker’s Jewels

If you're looking for something modern yet classic, play the Joker's Jewels slot machine from Pragmatic Play at an online casino.

Retro slot machines have been in fashion for quite a few years now. We've played all kinds, some that were just retro, and some that were more retro than the original retro slots. Joker's Jewels by Pragmatic Play is somewhere in the perfect middle of how a quality retro slot should look and play. We were mainly entertained by the visuals, which were really successful. But that doesn't mean that the other things that make up the gameplay aren't worth it. So let's see what awaits you after launching it.

The Game’s visuals

Thumbs up for how the slot looks. Yes, this is exactly how we remember those magical, big, noisy, flashing boxes from our childhood. Not that we could play them back then, it's just that this is how we remember the machines that often stood in the corners of village pubs where our fathers or grandfathers bought us soda. Joker's Jewels pays homage to these veterans with its graphic designs, and although we've certainly seen nicer retro slot machines, we have to admit that we liked it. The sounds are also very faithful to the originals. Although they certainly don't please our ears, we still recognize that they fit perfectly to create the right atmosphere.

Basic game properties

If we look at the gameplay, Joker's Jewels offers a classic that has been proven over the years. You will spin 5 reels, each of which has 3 symbols on it. There are 5 winning lines. However, the lower number is at least partially compensated by the fact that the blue gemstone symbol pays out a win for just 2 symbols on a line.

Paying out winnings is also no different from the usual standards. We have already mentioned that for one symbol, a pair is enough to pay out a win, but for others, at least a trio is needed. Naturally, the more identical symbols on a winning line, the higher the win. Winning combinations apply exclusively from the left side.

Pragmatic has long since fully adapted the controls of its slot machines to mobile devices. Everything you need to play is located on the right side, within reach of your thumb. You can use the plus and minus buttons to adjust your bet, or you can go to the menu and place your bet completely there. In our opinion, there are just too many choices. We do not want to select the value of the coins and similar complicating parameters. We simply want to bet a certain amount and play. You can play either manually, by starting each game round by pressing the Spin button, or automatically. When using Autoplay, the slot machine will spin the reels for you, you can only watch whether you win or not.

Bonus features of the slot machine

In terms of bonuses, the Joker's Jewels online slot machine is completely retro. Why? Well, because there is only one bonus, and it doesn't do too much. That is, except that it can make you a few credits richer. And sometimes, that’s enough to relax.

In reality, however, this is the most classic Scatter symbol, which does nothing more than pay out a win for three or more appearances of this symbol on the screen. The only difference between it and the other symbols is that these three or more symbols can be placed anywhere on the playing field.

You won't find any more bonuses in the game, so the Joker's Jewels online slot machine is truly retro "with everything everywhere" as they say.

Review of the Joker's Jewels slot by Pragmatic Play

If you're looking for a simple but good-looking slot machine, Joker's Jewels will be the right choice. The game plays smoothly, doesn't surprise you with meaningless combinations and overcomplicated bonus features, and can bring you the pure, unadulterated joy of playing. We enjoyed it immensely. We're not saying we'd want to play this slot for hours at a time every day, but it works as a quick hop. If you want to try it for free, you can spin it, for example, at the online casino at Betsafe. The demo version is free and unlimited in time.
