Head Over to the Fruit Machine in the Retro Mega Joker Online Slot

Traditional slot experiences don’t come much more authentic than NetEnt’s Mega Joker slot. This retro game is set within a virtual fruit machine, creating an old-school slot experience, available on any device at Bombastic.

Within our Mega Joker review, we’ll explore the game’s maximum win potential, how the base game symbols work and the special features that can add an extra dimension to your gameplay.

An Overview of the Mega Joker Online Game

Mega Joker is a three-reel slot game with five active paylines which pay from left to right. There are also additional reels above which are active when you trigger the Supermeter bonus stage.

There are no bells and whistles here in terms of slot sound effects or soundtracks, but this adds to the spit-and-sawdust nature of these retro slots.

How to Play Mega Joker

Once the game screen loads, you’ll be transported to an immersive virtual fruit machine, located in what looks to be a bar or pub area. To set your bet size per spin, all you need to do is choose between 1, 2 and 10 credits per spin by clicking between the coins in the bottom right-hand corner of the game screen.

To turn the sound effects on and off, click the speaker button in the bottom left-hand corner. Once you’re happy with your stake size, hit the ‘SPIN’ button.

In the middle of the machine you’ll see the ‘SUPERMETER’, which displays your winnings from the bonus mode in green.

Symbols and Paytable

There are five base game symbols active on the reels of the normal reels. It starts from the cherries, lemons and watermelons, through to the bell and treasure chest symbols. The Mega Joker symbol is also active during base game spins.

On the reel above – the Supermeter reels – you’ll find even more fruit machine symbols join you. There are lucky sevens, grapes, oranges, and the faithful Mega Joker. Land three Mega Joker symbols on the same payline during the Supermeter mode to land the maximum win.

Bonus Features

Supermeter Play Mode

Whenever you land a successful symbol combination on a payline, you’ll have the choice to either collect your winnings or advance into the Supermeter mode. To play on the Supermeter reels, your payout must be less than 2,000 coins.

All the wins you land during the Supermeter mode are housed within the Supermeter. Regardless of your bet size, all five paylines are active during the Supermeter mode. Wins on the Supermeter reels pay from left to right too.

Mystery Wins

There’s also a Mystery Wins feature when you play on the Supermeter mode. When you bet 200 credits, land at least one Mega Joker symbol anywhere on the reels to receive a Mystery Win, worth between 100 and 2,000 coins per Mega Joker.

If you bet 100 credits, land a Mega Joker in the centre reel to receive a Mystery Win, worth between 100 and 2,000 coins.

Anyone betting between 40 and 200 credits per spin that lands three Mega Jokers on a Supermeter payline will get an instant win worth 2,000 coins. Low-rollers betting at 20 coins per spin can still get a Mystery Win worth 1,000 coins whenever you land three Mega Jokers on a Supermeter payline.

Progressive Jackpot

As if that wasn’t enough for a retro fruit machine-style slot, Mega Joker also brings the heat with a potential progressive jackpot up for grabs. 3% of every bet you place will contribute towards the progressive jackpot.

This is a notorious progressive jackpot among fans of retro slots. It starts from a minimum of 2,000 credits but rises to anything upwards of 50,000 credits. It’s what’s known as a ‘local’ progressive jackpot. This means the Mega Joker progressive isn’t linked with any other slot games to pool resources.
