Joker Rush Loot Boost is a 5-reel, 4-row video slot game developed by Slingshot Studios. The game features 40 fixed paylines and incorporates classic fruit machine symbols with modern bonus mechanics.
The slot adopts a classic fruit machine theme, blending traditional elements with contemporary design.

This design choice evokes nostalgia for traditional slot machines while offering updated gameplay elements.
Core Game Mechanics
Joker Rush Loot Boost operates on a 5×4 reel grid with 40 fixed paylines. Wins are awarded for matching symbols landing adjacently on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel. The game utilizes a total bet system, where the bet amount is divided by the payline cost of 10 to determine the initial bet. Only the highest win per line is paid, with all wins multiplied by the initial bet.
Wild symbols play a crucial role, substituting for all symbols except Scatters and Coins. They can form their own winning combinations and appear in both the base game and Free Spins. Scatter symbols, appearing only in the base game, offer wins when landing anywhere on the reels, with payouts multiplied by the total bet.
Bonus Features
Power Stacks™ Feature: This feature activates on every spin in both the base game and Free Spins. Symbols, except for Scatters and Wilds in the base game, can be randomly Power Stacked. During Free Spins, only Wild and Coin symbols can be Power Stacked, adding an extra layer of excitement to each spin.
ULTRA Link&Win™ Feature: Triggered by landing 6 or more Coin symbols anywhere on the reels, this feature awards 3 free respins. Triggering Coins are held in place while other positions respin. Additional Coins reset the respin count to 3. The feature includes various Coin types:
- Cash Coins: Display random cash values multiplied by the total bet.
- Prize Coins: Offer GRAND (1000x), MAJOR (500x), MINOR (100x), and MINI (40x) prizes.
- Booster Coins: Provide special enhancements during the feature.
Booster Coins include:
- 2x Multiplier: Doubles up to 4 Cash Coins randomly.
- Unlock: Activates an additional row, up to 3 extra rows.
- Extra Chance: Awards 1 free respin, up to 3 can be activated.
The feature ends when respins are exhausted or all positions are filled with Coins.
Free Spins: Activated by landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols, awarding 10 Free Spins. During this feature, Wild or Coin symbols are Power Stacked on every spin, enhancing the potential for significant wins.
Buy Feature: Players can purchase immediate access to Free Spins, ULTRA Link&Win™, or Max Mode ULTRA Link&Win™ features. Costs vary based on the feature and current bet amount.
An intriguing aspect of Joker Rush Loot Boost is the Max Mode ULTRA Link&Win™ meter. In the base game, landing 4 or 5 Coins contributes to this meter. When full, it guarantees the next ULTRA Link&Win™ feature to trigger in Max Mode, starting with all 3 additional rows active. This creates a heightened sense of anticipation and strategy, as players can track their progress towards a potentially more lucrative bonus round.
