Joker Explosion Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

If you play your cards right you could be in for a treat with Joker Explosion, a classic slot with an explosive twist. This is a bright, bold game from Wazdan, taking a 4x3 format with 7 fixed paylines and a generous 2350x the total stake top prize. Will you be able to trump the mighty jester himself?

Paint splats on either side of the reels identify the paylines. Below the reels you’ll find a neatly laid out user interface. Balance, information and sound are to the left. Bet increments are displayed in the middle. Spin, autospin and game speed are to the right. It's a user-friendly slot that you needn't have much experience of to get to grips with it, making it ideal for casual gaming. Meanwhile, longevity of gameplay is upped a little with gamble and free spin elements.

Symbols include the most valuable detonator plus the card symbols A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9. Dynamite is the scatter, capable of triggering the free spins feature. The joker is the wild, which substitutes all symbols bar the dynamite to help create winning combinations. If any amount of wilds appear on the reels without there being a win, they’ll stop for one further game.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Joker Explosion is a classic slot with a Jolly Joker twist, putting an explosive emphasis on playing cards in the design and symbols. 

The backdrop is a plain blue background with darker blue stripes. The reels are simply outlined in red, with the symbols set against a darker diamond blue pattern to give it some texture. Symbols are understated but bright, bold and glossy. The aesthetics cultivate a contemporary comic book feel that’s not too serious. 

Gentle animation gives the background some depth as playing card symbol silhouettes explode slowly out from the top of the screen. This is about as much animation as we get, with mostly flashing lights to celebrate wins. An upbeat digital dance track accompanies gameplay. If this gets irritating, which we found it did, it can easily be toggled off. More retro sound-effects are utilised for reel spins, which we like. 

Joker Explosion RTP and Variance

The RTP is 96.50%, which we think is decent enough for a video slot of this kind. It’s thought to be of medium volatility, so players could anticipate a midway point between high and low variance. It’s typically more likely that you’ll get medium-sized wins at a relatively moderate frequency.

How to Play Joker Explosion 

1. Familiarize yourself with the paytable and rules.
2. Set the speed: Normal, fast or ultra fast.
3. Lines are fixed so only the main stake needs adjusting. Use the -/+ buttons to scroll through the stake options and select your preference. 
4. Hit spin. 
5. You can also depress spin to make the reels spin super quickly or set automatic spins via autospin.
6. Always play responsibly and when the fun stops, stop!

Joker Explosion Review Overall

We like the colourful, comic-style aesthetics to give this a contemporary edge. It feels light and fun, but we did find the soundtrack rather annoying so that was silenced early on. There’s nothing eye-waveringly amazing about the design here, but it works well enough so that the slot is straightforward to play, engaging and enjoyable. 

The low 0.10 starting stake definitely gets a thumbs up for budget gameplay and we think the higher rollers will likewise appreciate the generous top 100.00 coin bet. Medium volatility provides a reasonable midway point for more players to enjoy the slot, and there are some decent wins possible with the dynamite symbol and gamble feature. The sticky wilds if there are no wins is a nice touch to help give players a leg up in the hopes of getting a payout. We’re also appreciative of the free spins that can be retriggered for more opportunities to win, giving the slot a little more excitement. 

Turn up the heat with the Fire Joker slot from Play’n GO which takes a more classic slot theme twist on a 3x3 grid with 5 paylines. You’ll find a Wheel of Fortune style prize wheel for cash prizes, respins, multipliers and a top prize of 800x the stake.
