Joker Bombs Slot Review

Joker Bombs Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Joker Bombs slot is played on 6 reels, 5 rows, and uses the all-scatter wins mechanic. This means that you simply need to land 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid to win. After each win, winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in. This continues until no new winners are formed.

Stakes range from as low as 20p and as high as £100 per spin. Like all Hacksaw Gaming slots, simply use the arrows to the right of the bet value below the reels to adjust your total bet. Autospins and turbos spins are possible in most territories apart from the UK.

The Joker Bombs RTP is 96.48%, which is typical of slots from this provider as most tend to be well above the 96% average for an online slot. Volatility is medium too, so bigger wins will land more often than slots with a higher variance.

The maximum win is 5,000 x your stake, which is a little disappointing to see as many Hacksaw titles are in and around the 10,000 x mark. In terms of hit frequency, it’s set at 23.54%, which means that just under a 1/4 of all spins on average will result in a winning combination of 8 matching symbols or more.

Theme – all the fun of the fair

The theme in the Joker Bombs slot game is rather jolly, with an upbeat soundtrack and balloons among other things dominating the reels. You may initially think it’s got a sinister twist to it from the title, but it’s a really fun game to play with no dark elements to worry about.

The reels are set inside a fairground, with a purple rollercoaster and a huge blue Ferris Wheel in the background. The visuals aren’t anything to shout about but it’s all very nicely done. It’s simple but effective. Land the Free Spins feature and day turns to night to give the slot a different feel, although the audio remains the same.

On the reels, you’ve got a number of different coloured balloons as the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by numerous candies in different colours that act as higher-paying symbols. The Red Candy is the most lucrative symbol, paying 2.5, 4, 5, 10, 20 or 200 x your stake for 8, 9, 10, 11-12, 13-14 or 15+ in combination respectively.

There’s no Wild in the game. They make up for it with 3 different joker bombs that can cause havoc on the reels and award big multipliers. Here’s a rundown of all the symbols you’ll come across in this game:

Joker Bombs Mobile

The Joker Bombs mobile slot has been created by Hacksaw Gaming using HTML5 technology. This means it’s playable on desktops, mobiles and tablets. The quality certainly shows on smaller screens and it’s really enjoyable to play on the go. However, I do prefer it on a bigger screen personally.

Joker Bombs Bonus Features

There are 5 bonus features in the Joker Bombs slot game. You’ve got 3 different types of bombs for some explosive action, and a Free Spins feature. You can also buy the Free Spins feature for a price if you’re not in the UK.

Multiplier Bombs

During each round, every win will be collected and displayed above the reels as a pending win amount. This amount updates after every winning cascade. If you manage to land 1 or more Multiplier Bombs, this could lead to some big wins as it interacts with the pending win multiplier. Here are the different types of bombs you can come across:

• Normal Bomb – lands with a multiplier value, explodes and adds a 2x, 3x or 4x multiplier value to the pending win multilp[ier.
• Revealing Bomb – will land with a ? and explode to add a 5x, 10x, 25x or 50x multiplier to the pending win multiplier.
• Epic Bomb – lands with an X and explodes to multiply the pending win multiplier with a value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x.

Free Spins feature

Land 3 or more free spins joker symbols in the base game of the Joker Bombs slot to trigger the Free Spins feature. You will get 10 free spins and the feature is packed full of more multiplier bombs than the base game. There’s also more chance of landing high-value bombs compared to the base game. Simply keep spinning away until the free spins run out.

Bonus Buy feature

In most territories outside the UK, you can buy the Bonus feature for a certain price:

Joker Bombs Review Summary – entertaining bonus features

I am fairly impressed with what I see here in the Joker Bombs slot. It might not be as good as something like Sweet Bonanza from Pragmatic Play, but there’s still enough going on here to keep you entertained. If it was just a slot with a generic Free Spins feature, I would think differently, but the 3 different joker bombs really enhance the gameplay overall.

While the 5,000 x max win is a little low compared to many other slots from Hacksaw, the medium volatility helps cushion the blow a little. The above-average RTP rate is also great to see along with a hit frequency of 23.54%.

Overall, it’s a nicely thought-out slot and gets a thumbs up from me, but it’s certainly not up there with the best this provider has ever created. Why not give our free demo a try first if you’re still unsure? It’s a nice way to test out a game before using any real money.
