Joker 10000 Deluxe is the 2017 follow-up to Betdigital's original Joker 10000, now flying the Light & Wonder flag after a few corporate reshuffles. The grid is the same chrome-framed 3×3 fruit machine: cherries, lemons, melons, BARs, gold crowns, a smug jester perched above a Supermeter readout. But the Deluxe tag earns its keep with one specific addition – the Super Gamble – which is genuinely unusual and worth understanding before you spin.
Mechanically it's still a five-payline classic. Coin range runs from a cent up to $50.00, each line costs two coins, and the RTP only hits its advertised 96.5% when you play all five lines. Drop to fewer lines and you're stuck at 92%, which is a quietly punishing detail the game doesn't advertise. The standard paytable is brutal in its simplicity: cherries 20x coin, lemons 40x, melons 60x, BAR 80x, crown 100x. Three Jokers on a line trigger the mystery prize, anywhere from 20x to a full 10,000x coin value, with the current top award glowing on the Supermeter strip overhead.
Land a win and you get the usual choice. Bank it, double it on the Red or Black card guess, or (only at max five-line bet) press SPIN to push the credits up into the Supermeter. Inside the Supermeter the Joker rules tilt in your favour. Two visible Jokers pay a mystery prize, three scattered Jokers pay three separate mystery prizes, three on a payline still cap out at 10,000x. Auto-collect kicks in at 10,000 coins regardless.
And then there's the new toy. Super Gamble sits inside the Supermeter and lets you dial your own odds with plus and minus buttons, aiming at any prize tier up to the 10,000x ceiling. It runs at a flat 100% RTP, which sounds incredible until you realise that just means the expected value matches your stake. So you'll either climb the ladder or you'll watch the Supermeter empty in one click. Is that better than the standard Red/Black? Honestly, depends on your patience for slow doubling versus one big swing.
The criticism writes itself: the Deluxe upgrade is essentially Super Gamble plus a cosmetic polish, and the Supermeter still demands max bet to even open. High volatility, no wilds, no scatters, no buy bonus. Just a grinning Joker, a 10,000x ceiling, and a gamble screen with sharper teeth than most.
