It may have 5 reels but this Joker’s Jewels mobile slot is for lovers of classic games only.
This Joker Jewels slot may look like something that was created in the dawn of slot games, but its classic style is part of its charm.
You’ve got the white masked joker as the highest paying symbol, followed by hat bonus symbols, a guitar, some juggling cones and shoes.
Ironically, the lowest paying symbols are the actual Joker’s Jewels, what we can only assume are fake rubies, diamonds and topaz.
As soon as you heard bonus symbol, we bet you thought that much like classic games such as Sweet27 by Play’n GO or Aztec Gems by Pragmatic Play, that there must be something fun going on.
There isn’t. It says bonus because it does. It’s just the second highest paying symbol in this 5 reel slot machine, and that’s it.
You’ll get about 250 times your bet for a 5 of a kind, which isn’t huge, but you do get around 1,000 times your bet with the Joker, so that’s nice. We suppose.
The soundtrack is a little annoying, the flashing lights are supposed to make you feel like you are in Vegas, but are distracting, and the simple gameplay rarely engages.
We don’t need a million fancy features, but classic games like Couch Potato and Break da Bank Again have the monopoly on old-fashioned video slots.
Joker Jewels just feels like an unnecessary addition that doesn’t add anything to the genre.
That said, if all you want is to hold out for a decent 5 of a kind win, there are worse choices out there. But the same can be said of most casino games.

The Joker: This is the highest paying symbol. It doesn't do anything that special but does let you win 1,000 times your bet, which isn't bad for a simple slot.
It's also where you'll win the top win of 25,000 on a single payline when using the max bet of 25 in cash.
We hate giving a very playable game 2 stars because it seems to imply that we didn't like this Joker Jewels slot on mobile.
And sure, we weren't bowled over by its sounds and look, but it's still a decent mid to high variance 5 reel slot.
There are plenty of simple games out there that find fans exactly because all you are searching for is a good 5 of a kind win, and this would be it.
But in a time when graphics can make you feel part of the game, and where slots like Reel Heist by NetEnt shows what it takes to stick around for years, we don't think this will be a favourite on anyone's list for long.
