Joker's Revenge – What Is This Slot?
Joker's Revenge is a slot machine from Pragmatic Play that was released on 8 June 2026. It is a Low volatility slot that features 5 paylines arranged in a 5x3 grid layout and has 5 paylines that pay out for players. The theme of the slot is based on a carnival and features jester symbols and various prizes such as a gold money bag, ornate goblet, decorated scroll, a blue diamond, a green gem and card rank symbols of A, K and Q.
The BONUS symbol pays out on any reel position in Joker's Revenge and features 5 paylines in a 5x3 grid layout. The BONUS symbol is a jester crown that is only visible on reels 2, 3 and 4. When 2 BONUS symbols are landed by the player, they win. When 3 BONUS symbols are landed on reels 2, 3 and 4, the player is awarded 5 Free Spins. During these Free Spins the BONUS pay multiplies with every spin up to 10,000x the total bet from spin 13 onwards.
How to Play Joker's Revenge
Joker's Revenge utilizes 5 paylines on its 5x3 grid slot game layout. Wins from symbols that are paid out by the slot are only awarded if the symbols are arranged from left to right on the paylines in the slot machine grid. Each win is multiplied by the player's bet per line. The BONUS symbol, however, pays out for any position on the reels, and its wins are multiplied by the total bet placed by the player.
- Set the total bet using the plus and minus controls. The minimum is $0.05 (5 lines × $0.01 per line) and the maximum is $250. The BUY FEATURE 3 OPTIONS button is visible in the base game interface and provides direct access to the three bonus entry points.
- Press Spin to start a round. Eight regular symbols pay left-to-right across the 5 paylines. The Wild (jester face with "Wild" label) appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 and substitutes for all regular symbols in the base game - not for the BONUS symbol. Only the highest win per payline is paid.
- The BONUS symbol (jester crown with "BONUS" label) appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. Landing 2 BONUS symbols awards the BONUS pay (0.40x total bet) immediately, regardless of reel position. Landing 3 BONUS symbols awards the BONUS pay (1.00x total bet) and triggers the Free Spins feature with 5 initial spins.
- During Free Spins, the BONUS pay multiplier escalates with every spin. Landing 2 or more BONUS or WILD symbols in any combination awards the BONUS pay at the current multiplier tier. Landing 3 or more BONUS or WILD symbols awards the BONUS pay and adds 1 additional free spin, pushing the BONUS pay multiplier to the next higher level on the following spin.
Bonus Features
BONUS Symbol (Jester Crown)
The BONUS symbol in Joker's Revenge slot only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the slot machine grid layout. When the BONUS symbols are paid for, they pay out for any position on the reels, irrespective of which paylines the symbols lie on. The BONUS pays out for each line win multiplied by the total bet placed on the slot.
Wild Symbol (Jester Face)
The Wild symbol appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the Joker's Revenge slot. It can substitute for any regular symbol payouts but not the BONUS symbol. During Free Spins, the Wild symbol can substitute for any regular symbols or the BONUS symbols in the slot.
Escalating BONUS Pay Multiplier
The BONUS pay in the Free Spins feature in Joker's Revenge increases by one tier with each spin. The pay rates are 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 150x, 200x, 1,000x, 2,000x and 10,000x from spin 13 onwards. When a player lands a 2+ BONUS or WILD symbol combination, they will be awarded the BONUS pay for that spin's pay rate. The more spins a player earns by landing 3+ BONUS and WILD symbols in a row, the more valuable each subsequent retrigger will be.
Retrigger (+1 Spin)
When 3 or more BONUS and WILD symbols are landed in any combination during a spin in the Free Spins feature, the player will be awarded an additional spin and the BONUS pay will move to the next stage of its tiered pay rate for the following spin. If retriggers are landed after spin 7, the BONUS pay can reach tiers that are orders of magnitude higher than the initial start of the feature. There is no limit on the number of times that a round can retrigger.

However, the Free Spins feature has a high volatility with the BONUS pay rate increasing to 10,000x the total bet after spin 13. The low volatility for the base game makes it easier for the player to retrigger the feature to extend the game to receive such a high BONUS pay rate.

Our Verdict
✅ Pros
- The escalating BONUS pay multiplier is a simple but genuinely compelling mechanic - the fixed sequence from 1x to 10,000x gives the Free Spins feature a clear narrative arc where every retrigger matters. Low volatility makes the base game accessible for longer sessions at low bet levels. The BONUS symbol paying on any reel position (not just paylines) means 2-symbol wins happen frequently even on a 5-payline layout. The three Buy Feature tiers offer clear value differentiation, and the Super Free Spins 2 (1,000x) is a well-designed high-conviction entry for players who want to start near the high-multiplier tiers. The money bag paying from just 2 symbols adds base game depth beyond the 5-payline structure.
❌ Cons
- The 10,000x max win is achievable but requires the feature to extend to spin 13+ via consecutive retriggers, which demands a combination of BONUS/WILD frequency and retrigger luck not typical in Low volatility play. The 5-payline structure is intentionally simple and will feel limited for players used to Megaways or Ways-format games. The jump between the Super Free Spins 1 (180x) and Super Free Spins 2 (1,000x) buy options is very large for just 2 extra starting spins. No Ante Bet option means slower natural triggering without the Buy Feature.
