Review of Joker 81

Theme and plot of the story

Joker 81 distinguishes itself from the competition by adopting a vintage one-armed bandit and fruit machine aesthetic. A fruit buffet of semi-new additions, such as plums and oranges, adorns the reels of this machine, in addition to the typical cherries, sevens, bars, and watermelons of old-school machines.

The notion of old-school, no-fuss, no-muss machinery is carried over into the game’s gameplay, which was designed to fit the theme. The number 81 in the title relates to one of the easy additional elements included in the game (details below).

Graphics, sounds, and animations are all included.

The visuals are no more or less impressive than they need to be. Although the backdrop is black, it has an abstract orange pattern that is just enough to give the impression that the field has not been left blank by the authors, but not enough to be distracting.

The symbols are well-designed, possessing the quick identification that cartoony icons possess while not being too minimalistic in appearance.

Almost minimal effort has been made to include sound into the design. When the 81-line feature is activated, all that is required is a single click on the reels, followed by the ring of a bell.

Gameplay

Joker 81 is a four-reel, seven-payline slot machine featuring just one set of rewards and only one set of winning combinations. In order to win the reward, you must line up four identical symbols on a pay line.

This game’s gameplay differs somewhat from the regular gameplay mentioned above in one respect. When the Bar symbol (which may also act as a Wild) appears on a reel, the 81 winline feature is activated and the game begins. This results in an additional 74 winning lines being added to the reels, for a total of 81 winning lines.

Wilds, bonuses, and free spins are all included in this game.

The 81-winline feature, which is activated by the Wild symbol, is the sole bonus feature available on this slot. In addition to activating this bonus, the Wild symbol may be used to substitute for any other symbol and pays out 120 times your wager per spin if you get four of them on a payline.

This game may be of interest to you if you want your games to be simple and free of unnecessary frills and extras.

Bet sizes, return on investment (RTI), and variance

Kajot Games does not disclose an expected return on investment (RTI) for this game, which is a warning indicator. While the industry average seems to be around 96% we can normally assume machines with a high return to player will make the effort to advertise this fact.

As a result of the fact that you must strike four symbols in order to earn a payment, payouts are very infrequent and usually rather little unless you manage to hit a pair of stacked symbols with the Joker symbol. Consequently, this game has a somewhat large standard deviation.

The range of bets offered on the site we tested was from €/£/$0.10 up to €/£/$100.00 each spin, with a maximum of €/£/$100.00 per spin.

Conclusion

Playing Joker 81 is a pleasurably simple slot machine that harkens back to a simpler time when slot machines were operated by pulling a lever and spinning the reels.

Despite the fact that we like its high volatility, it is difficult to suggest a slot that is so cagey with its other important statistic: its return to player (RTP).
