Jester’s Jackpot is a slot machine that is themed around playing cards, especially around the ones with the Joker on them. The slot is not exactly pretty to look at, it doesn’t offer any features that you might be used to and the prizes aren’t impressive either. All in all, not exactly a hugely attractive title, but let’s see how it works in the other areas.
It’s not only an older looking game, it also has the paylines to back that impression up, with only 9 of them available on 5 reels. The slot has no features inside and its top payout is worth $25,000.
Features of Jester’s Jackpot
The game’s 5 reels don’t bring with them any features, which isn’t necessarily a surprise once you see that it has fewer lines than other slots and that the graphics are of such a low quality. 5 reel slots with no features tend to be older and they also have a limited number of lines, as developers seem to have given up on this kind of game in the last decade or so. It’s the type of game where all you have to do is click on the Spin button, and you either get a winning combo, or you don’t. There are no feature symbols to help you out.
Betting options and jackpots
You are allowed to wager a single coin on each active line you want to use, so in this case the maximum number of usable coins is 9 per spin. Each coin gets a top value of $10, while the starting point is at $0.01. The wager reaches a max value of $90.
You can win 2,500 coins from this game, meaning up to $25,000 cash. The second best combo pays 1,000 coins, or $10,000.
Design and symbols
The theme is based around playing cards, a few different ones focusing on the Joker, though there are others as well. There is a boring checkered background picture, combining white and gray squares, with white reels and white symbols (they’re playing cards after all). The cards look pretty much like the ones you would hold during a real game, so they’re not just simple letters.
Symbols: Jester (2,500 coins), Ace (1,000 coins), King (500 coins), Queen (250 coins), Jack (100 coins), Jester’s Hat (25 coins) and Casino Logo (10 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
I wouldn’t say that it is, unless you’re finding these very simple games with limited graphics and no features to be more fun than I do. It doesn’t even offer a payout high enough to make up for the other problems it has.
You will find Jester’s Jackpot at any online casino which chooses to use software from Wager Gaming, playable either for free or for real money.
