Pragmatic Play's Devil Joker slot delivers a thrilling online casino experience steeped in a dark and demonic theme. The classic casino backdrop features a hauntingly beautiful woman dressed as a devil, accentuated by fiery red tones and suspenseful sound effects, creating an immersive atmosphere for players.
Cluster Pays and Cascading Wins
Devil Joker eschews traditional paylines in favor of a cluster pays mechanic. Wins are awarded for landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6 reels. Following a win, the winning symbols disappear, triggering an Avalanche feature. New symbols cascade down to fill the empty spaces, potentially creating further winning combinations in a single spin. This Avalanche mechanic continues as long as new winning clusters form, offering the potential for extended win streaks.
Symbols and Special Features
The slot's symbols include classic card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) as the lower-value options. Higher-paying symbols comprise a golden crown, a pack of cards featuring a joker, dice, a mug of beer, and two red cherries. The redheaded woman in devil attire acts as the Scatter symbol, triggering the Free Spins bonus round when 4 or more land anywhere on the reels.
The Joker symbol serves as the Wild, substituting for all other symbols except the Scatter to complete winning combinations. Additionally, Wild symbols can come attached with a random multiplier ranging from 2x to 500x, applied to the win they help create.
Free Spins with Progressive Multipliers
Devil Joker's Free Spins bonus round offers the potential for significant wins. Landing 4 or more Scatter symbols awards 15 free spins. During this bonus, a win multiplier increases with each Avalanche, adding an extra layer of excitement and the potential for substantial payouts. Players can also earn additional free spins (by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols) during the bonus round.
Ante Bet Option and Bonus Buy Feature
Devil Joker offers an optional Ante Bet feature that increases the cost of each spin by 25%. In exchange for the higher wager, players benefit from a doubled chance of triggering the Free Spins bonus and a greater number of Scatter symbols appearing on the reels. However, the Ante Bet disables the ability to purchase the Free Spins bonus directly.
For players who prefer not to wait for the Scatters to trigger Free Spins, Devil Joker offers a Bonus Buy option. By paying a one-time cost of 100x the total bet, players can instantly activate the Free Spins bonus round.
