Jester's Luck Slots
Fruit machines are a popular choice when it comes to playing slots online, the nostalgic feel, basic gameplay and simple way you can win are just a handful of reasons why players choose these machines over others. Novomatic have created another fruit machine to add to their portfolio and it’s one that’s packed with modern features to give you more oomph for your money.
Other fruit machines offered by Novomatic are Always Hot, Always Hot Deluxe and Blazing Riches. Jester’s Luck is a 5 reel, 25 fixed payline slot with bets ranging from 2 coins per line to a max of 400 coins a line – this gives you a minimum and maximum bet of 50 and 10,000 coins. Respins, wilds and base game wins are hiding within the symbols on the reels, along with a jackpot of up to 400,000 coins.
Fruity Stuff
Jester’s Luck is exactly how a fruit machine should look with its reels packed full of fruity combinations. The reels of the game feature 3 different symbols, these can include the following retro symbols – a red 7, golden bell, golden star, watermelon, orange, lemon, jester and card values of J, Q, K and A. Adjust your bet via the control panel and the paytable will show you exactly what you can win for your chosen stake. As you play, the panel beneath the reels shows you the current bankroll you hold, a message to encourage you to play and to show you how you can win plus your last win.
Coin it In
All prizes on offer are in the way of coins, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth winning. Jester and the red 7 symbols are the highest paying symbols of the game – 5 of a kind will trigger a max payout of 400,000 coins (for high rolling players staking 10,000 coins a spin). Medium symbols are the golden bell with 200,000 coins and the golden star and watermelon both with a payout of 120,000 coins. All remaining symbols offer payouts of between 20,000 and 80,000 coins for max stakes.
Simplistic Features
As with any slot machine, wilds can transform the gameplay, this is because a wild can replace other symbols to help create wins – look out for the jester because he is the wild of this game. Should you land a jester in any spin, you will trigger a free respin. During your respin, all jester’s present on the reels will become sticky wilds and be locked in place for your respin. Respins can be triggered to a max of 4 times.
The gamble bonus is a game of chance that puts you against a virtual dealer. Base game wins can be gambled on a turn of a card – just select red of black and the facedown card will show itself along with the winning suit colour, get that right to double your cash but get it wrong, and you lose everything you originally won.
Lots of Simple Fun
Jester’s Luck slot game is a basic slot, but that doesn’t mean it’s as dull as dishwater. First of all, you can accumulate wins by landing 2 of a kind of the bells and red 7 symbols – this is great because usually you are required to land at least 3 of a kind for a winning combination. Jester’s Luck is medium variance and if you are a seasoned player, you will know that this means the wins fall regularly on the reels – no hanging around for hours waiting for a win in this slot game.
Respins is the only exciting feature available and just like base game wins, you won’t have to hang around too long to get a free spin. When we played, we managed to trigger jester respins here and there, which offered us additional chances to win big cash. Sadly, the big value symbols don’t like to make themselves known – we were playing for well over an hour and only managed to bag a 5 of a kind of the low value symbols. Analyse the last cards called in the gamble feature before you make your prediction, these are there to help you make your decisions, but as it is a game of chance, you are more likely to lose than win, so we would recommend you conserve your bankroll by collecting wins – not gambling them.
