Joker Leprechauns Review

Smiling, red-bearded Leprechauns with joker makeup and jester hats is not something you see everyday, and we have to warn you; it is a sight that can never be unseen. It might sound like a good idea to blend two of the most iconic themes in the world of online slots together, but only after the 11th stout on St. Patrick’s Day. Few would actually go ahead and follow through on such a bizarre concept, but hey, cheers to Kalamba for their boldness.

Joker Leprechauns is basically a reskin of Joker Max, but the math model has been given somewhat of an overhaul. More precisely, the potential has been cranked up to 10,000x, and the seed level of the 4 progressive jackpots has also been increased. You have 4 HyperBet levels affecting the RTP, multiplier wild values and number of free spins. Extra spins come in spades during the bonus round though, but penny punters will probably find it annoying that they cannot afford to get the most out of this game.

Joker Leprechauns Features

The first thing you need to decide is your Hyperbet level.

There are 4 Hyperbet levels to choose from, and we’ll sum up how it works for you below:

• Hyperbet level 1 (96.1 % RTP) - 1x multiplier wilds and 5 initial free spins in the bonus round.
• Hyperbet level 2 (96.22 % RTP) - 3x multiplier wilds and 8 initial free spins in the bonus round.
• Hyperbet level 3 (96.32 % RTP) - 5x multiplier wilds and 10 initial free spins in the bonus round.
• Hyperbet level 4 (96.42 % RTP) - 10x multiplier wilds and 12 initial free spins in the bonus round.

The smallest cost per spin is 50p for Hyperbet level 1, £1.16 for level 2, £1.9 for level 3 and £3.74 for level 4. This means that penny punters will be at disadvantage compared to players who can afford to spend a bit more per spin.

The red Leprechaun Joker wilds come with multipliers attached, while the yellow Leprechaun Jokers are wilds with no multiplier. Both wilds step in for all regular pay symbols, but only the red wilds will boost your winnings with the multiplier you choose via the Hyperbet feature. Wilds tend to land in stacks, and multiplier wilds will multiply with each other if more than one is involved in a win.

You trigger the Bonus Round when you land at least 3 bonus scatters on the same spin. You win 2x your stake for 3 scatters and 4x your stake for 4 scatters, and you get the free spin amount according to your chosen Hyperbet level.

Star symbols land to fill up a meter on the right hand side, and when 3 stars have been collected you get +3 extra spins.

Getting extra spins is relatively easy in our experience, so the bonus round might go on for quite a while. Non-UK players can take advantage of the HyperBonus option. This Bonus Buy feature allows you to purchase 4 different versions of the bonus round. These versions correspond to the HyperBet level features that trigger organically, and they cost between 33.44x your stake and 411.70x your stake.

Finally, you have the jackpot feature. Jackpot symbols will land in stacks during both the base game and the bonus round. You need at least 7 jackpot symbols in the same spin to win a jackpot. You have 4 local jackpots up for grabs here, and these are as follows:

• Platinum requires 14+ jackpot symbols to trigger, and seeds at £2,500.
• Gold requires 12+ jackpot symbols to trigger, and seeds at £250.
• Silver requires 9+ jackpot symbols to trigger, and seeds at £50.
• Bronze requires 7+ jackpot symbols to trigger, and seeds at £10.

The 200 Spins Joker Leprechauns Experience

A bunch of 10x multiplier wilds landed initially, and made us happy we went for the highest Hyperbet level. A longer streak of dead spins followed, before we landed the Bronze jackpot.

After that we decided to purchase the bonus round, and you can see how it all played out in the 3-minute highlights video below.

Review Summary

The marriage between the traditional fruit slot and the Irish Luck Leprechaun theme is unorthodox to say the least. The latter is usually dominated by green colors, something the glossy, colorful fruit theme completely overrules. The result is an incongruent mix that stands in stark contrast to the very harmonious and smoothly running gameplay.

At the highest Hyperbet level you’ll benefit from stacks of 10x multiplier wilds on a regular basis. This can lead to solid base game payouts for sure, but we hardly see the point in the 1x wilds you get on the lowest level. Doubling your amount of initial free spins in the bonus round is more or less the norm in this game, at least if you have 10 or 12 spins to start with in the first place. The 10,000x potential is a decent upgrade, and after your eyes have adjusted to the initial shock, a pretty worthwhile game will emerge.

Pros

• 4 Hyperbet levels
• Wild multipliers up to 10x
• Bonus round w/ plenty of extra spins
• 4 jackpots
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Irish Luck doesn’t mix well with colorful fruit theme
• Beefed up reskin of Joker Max

If you love Joker Leprechauns you should also try:

Joker 3600 - is a retro/arcade installment in Kalamba’s Joker series, and it comes with a tilted 5-4-3-3-4-5 reel set.

This adds up to 3,600 win ways, and you’ll benefit from 2x and 3x multiplier wilds. The bonus round comes with unlimited extra spins, and you can win 3 progressive jackpots.

Joker MAX - is very similar to the game at hand, but with a somewhat weaker potential. You have 4 different Hyperbet levels here too, with up to 10x multiplier wilds and 12 free spins. 4 progressive jackpots can be landed, and you can win up to 8,000x your stake.

Joker Lanterns - is a follow-up to Joker Max, and it comes with a Halloween theme. The game is basically a reskin, but you can win up to 10,025x your stake in this version. There are 4 jackpots up for grabs, and the bonus round comes with plenty of extra spins and multiplier wilds.
