Joker’s Jewels Cash

Joker's Jewels Cash: Slot Overview

Joker's, some may love em', some may hate em', but one lot that has a strong affinity for all things pointy bell hatted is software provider Pragmatic Play. Hot on the heels of Wild Wild Joker comes another mischievously themed online slot, Joker's Jewels Cash. This one is part of the studio's Joker's Jewels series of games, which has been running since the earlier part of 2015. That's quite a long time to be churning out slots which have basic, non-complexity as shared attributes. Joker's Jewels Cash sticks to tradition, being low on extras and high on simple, pacey, some might say repetitively tedious gameplay.

Load Joker's Jewels Cash, and you might momentarily wonder whether you're about to play an online slot or you've just arrived at the circus. This is largely on account of the big-top-esque soundtrack that evoked images of clowns with big shoes and dogs on unicycles. Having such a zany tune is probably a good thing, too, since Joker's Jewels Cash is a very basic game, so any extra stimuli is greatly appreciated. Monetary stimulus appears above the reel area, where information on pay symbols and bonus prizes is displayed. Like other Joker's Jewels slots, this one may make imaginative gamblers feel like they're sitting before a physical cabinet about to hit buttons on a machine to set things spinning.

Before clicking the play button, though, bet selection is on order, and stakes can be set as low as 5 c per spin or up to a maximum of $/€250. Behind all the jokers, sparkles, and cash is a highly volatile math model which puts out, at best, an RTP of 96.51%. On the front end, a 5x3 gaming grid is used, which creates winning combinations from the leftmost reel onwards, evaluated by just 5 paylines.

There might not be a lot of ways to win, but the game offers quite substantial symbol payout values when larger wins do occur. Five-of-a-kind combinations at least are rather chunky, as hitting 5 matching circles, blue gems, red diamonds, shoes, juggling pins, mystical instruments or jokers pays 40 to 1,000 times the stake. Joker's Jewels Cash doesn't have wild symbols to help form winning paylines, though, and its only other symbol is a bonus game scatter.

Joker's Jewels Cash: Slot Features

Joker's Jewels Cash has stuck with a minimalist angle when it comes to features, so try not to expect too much from this section. When 3, 4, or 5 scatters land anywhere on the screen, the bonus game is triggered. During the bonus round, players click on coins to reveal jackpot awards. This continues until 3 identical jackpot coins are revealed, thereby awarding the corresponding amount. The 6 possible bonus awards that can be won are the 10x Mini, 20x Minor, 100x Maxi, 300x Mega, and 5,000x Grand.

Joker's Jewels Cash: Slot Verdict

That's about as short and sweet as these Joker's Jewels games get. Well, sweet if you're into this sort of thing, somewhat sour otherwise. Like the others, Joker's Jewels Cash is for players who prefer gambling with all the modern faff ripped out of them as if the slot's maker has pruned away as much excess as possible, or wasn't concerned with coming up original features in the first place. What's left is fast-paced reel-spinning action, no modifiers getting in the way, no wild symbols crowding up the grid, nothing but hit winning paylines and trigger the bonus round to interrupt the base game's 1 in 8.23 spins hit frequency, as wacky sound effects keep the ears and the imaginative mind busy.

In short, Joker's Jewels Cash has been designed for a certain gambling appetite, one which appreciates what Pragmatic Play has designed in the JJ series up to this point. When viewed as part of the Joker's Jewels range, under a discerning microscope, Joker's Jewels Cash does manage to stand out to a certain degree, but that's not saying a lot since amongst the previous releases, Joker's Jewels had virtually no features, while Joker's Jewels Wild had two weak scatter symbol prize features, as a couple of comparisons. At 5,000x, Joker's Jewels Cash's win cap is solid, though it is small when compared to Joker's Jewels Hot's 27,000x top prize if anyone is shopping around for impressive figures (though this number should be taken with a big grain of salt). At the end of the test session, there wasn't anything particularly impressive about Joker's Jewels Cash to remark on, which is to be expected given it is part of a collection of slots that caters to a specific gambling preference where rudimentary gaming trumps all.
