Theme – Audio & Design Features – official slot based on the Tiger King

The TV industry is filled with larger-than-life characters and there are few who have had quite such an oversized impact as Joe Exotic. Joe was first spotted on this side of the Pond on a Louis Theroux documentary.

He became a global phenomenon in the Netflix series, Tiger King: Murder Mayhem and Madness, about the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park.  He is currently in jail after being convicted in 2019 of 17 charges of animal abuse and 2 counts of murder for hire.

The Joe Exotic slot is an official game so the design is as outlandish as you’d expect given its star. Expect gold, guns and exotic animals galore. Whatever the opposite of classy and understated is, the design here is that. There’s a hillbilly soundtrack pumping away in the background while you spin which is an ideal fit. This is just what you’d hope a Joe Exotic slot would look like.

The reels are made up of hip flasks, baseball caps, animal skin belts and rings. They’re joined by 5 higher value character symbols including James Garretson, Allen Glover and Jeff Lowe. Joe Exotic tops the bill for payouts, awarding 10 x your total stake if you land 5 across a payline. The wild symbol is Joe on a gold throne of course.

Joe Exotic is available to play on all devices including mobiles and tablets as well as desktop computers. The blingy visuals work just fine on the small screen devices and the straightforward features are easy to follow.

Joe Exotic Review Summary – a decent adaption of an outrageous character

Red Tiger Gaming has made a pretty good attempt at recreating the outrageousness of the Tiger King in the Joe Exotic slot. The design is really in your face which is to be expected.

There’s a decent range of bonus features on offer here though, taking classic extras and giving them a Joe Exotic makeover. The best of them is the Exotic Spins feature due to the potential 15x multiplier. This is where the 4,117 x stake max wins can be won.

The actual slot is rather tame and won’t be for everyone. I wouldn’t have thought Carole Baskin would appear but I would have hoped for more tigers and wild animals.

If you liked the jaw-dropping Netflix series, the Joe Exotic slot is certainly worth a look. Looking for more branded releases? Vikings by NetEnt and Jurassic Park by Games Global would be my recommendations.
