Hot Slot: Mystery Jackpot Joker Slot by Wazdan 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Hot Slot: Mystery Jackpot Joker Review

The Hot Slot series from Wazdan started out as a barebones experience almost completely stripped from features. They have since released several more feature rich installments, however, and Hot Slot™: Mystery Jackpot Joker can be seen as a back to the roots release, at least to a certain extent. It does have a few tricks up its sleeve, however, as we shall see below.

This is the first installment in the series that comes with a 3x3 grid, and you get classic fruit slot symbols set against the usual fiery backdrop. The scary-looking joker takes center stage, and you need a full screen to get to the lucrative Mystery Jackpot Joker feature. It guarantees 1 of 4 jackpots, and paid respins can help you trigger the feature as well.

Hot Slot™: Mystery Jackpot Joker Slot - Reels Screen

Hot Slot™: Mystery Jackpot Joker Slot Features

The typical fruit slot symbols pay between 1 to 8 x your stake for 3 of a kind wins, and wins are formed from left to right. Landing 3 star scatters anywhere in view pays 10x your stake, and the jester hat Wild pays 40x your stake for 3 on payline. The wild symbols also step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, like wilds usually do.

The Mystery Joker Jackpot Game triggers when you fill the screen with nothing but Mystery Joker Jackpot symbols. This gives you a spin where 1 of 4 jackpot symbols that fill the entire grid will be landed. These are the Minor, Major, Joker, and Grand Jackpot symbols, and they pay 15x-100x, 100x-300x, 300x-600x, or 1,000x your stake, respectively.

Hot Slot™: Mystery Jackpot Joker Slot - Respin Feature

If you land 6 Mystery Mega Joker symbols that fill 2 reels, you get the option to buy a Respins feature. The Mystery Joker reels are held in place, and you can pay 20x your stake per respin of the remaining non-Joker reel. You can pay for up to multiple respins, and this may help you trigger the Mystery Joker Jackpot Game.

The Bonus Buy menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. If available, you can click the shopping cart button to get 4 bonus buy options. These are standard, high, ultra, and extreme volatility options, and they cost 50x, 100x, 150x, and 300x your stake, respectively.

The 200 Spins Hot Slot™: Mystery Jackpot Joker Slot Experience

We didn’t land too many base game wins in our session, and we skipped the first option to pay for a mystery joker respin. When 2 reels got filled with jokers a second time, however, we didn’t hesitate. The respin landed us another joker reel immediately, which triggered the Mystery Joker Jackpot Game. You can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The classic fruit slot presentation is hardly unusual, but Wazdan has spiced things up by introducing a rather spooky-looking Joker character that steals the show in this game. You get to choose your preferred pace from 3 settings, as usual, and you can also choose your preferred volatility. A screen full of wilds pays 200x your stake, which is the most you can hope for from a base game spin.

You’re mostly spinning along hoping to land a screen full of the Mystery Jackpot Joker symbols, however, or at least 6 to get the paid respins feature. Coughing up 20x your stake per respin can seem a bit steep, but it worked out pretty well for us at least. It’s probably best to not go overboard with it, as the feature triggers on a fairly regular basis anyway. Hot Slot™: Mystery Jackpot Joker is an enjoyable and somewhat unusual installment in the Hot Slot™ series.
