Joker Lux Megaways: Slot Review and Free Play Demo

Joker Lux Megaways Review

We like how Lucksome has the cajones to go after the top dogs in whatever genre they are competing in, something they proved beyond any doubt with their excellent and recent wild west installment; 6 In The Chamber. Fair enough, Joker Lux Megaways is a reskin of their previous Bon Bomb Luxpots, but both installments are strong enough to compete in the highly competitive and popular scatter jackpots genre.

The classic fruit machine theme might have a broader appeal than the sugary candyland theme, and the many different facial expressions of the jokers make them less creepy than usual. Landing 13 jokers in the base game awards 5,000x your stake on the spot, and jokers are sticky as long as new jokers land in the bonus round. They can also add up to +5 to the Luxpot multiplier, and the total win is paid when no new jokers land.

Joker Lux Megaways Slot Features

The symbols pay between 1 and 5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, except for the top-tier lucky number 7 that pays 40x your stake for the same. Wild symbols can slide in on the top horizontal reel only, and they substitute for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins. All winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic, and the gaps are filled by new and/or existing symbols dropping down from above. This repeats for as long as you keep winning.

The Luxpots are stacked up on the left-hand side, and you can win 1x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 30x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1,000x, 2,000x, or 5,000x your stake according to the Luxpots Paytable. This is done by landing Joker instant prize scatters anywhere in view, and you need 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 in sight to take down the corresponding prize.

The Luxpots Free Games feature triggers when you land 4, 5, or 6 diamond scatters in view, and this gives you 12, 17, or 22 free spins, respectively. Joker instant prize scatters become sticky when they appear, and they remain sticky as long as you keep landing new jokers.

The corresponding Luxpot is paid when no new jokers land, as long as at least 3 are in view. Jokers can land with x2 to x5 multipliers, and they are added to the total Luxpot multiplier. Diamond scatters award +1 extra spin per scatter that lands.

The Bonus Buy feature is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. You can choose between the 3 following options (if eligible):

• Pay 60x your stake to get the Xplosive FS round with extra jokers.
• Pay 100x your stake to get the Delux FS round with even more jokers.
• Pay 300x your stake to get the Double Lux FS round with the most jokers.

You get to see a smaller Luxpot win in the base game, before we purchase and trigger the Xplosive bonus round at 0:40 into the 3:12-minute highlights video. We won some extra spins as well as joker luxpots, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Competing in the long since overcrowded scatter jackpot genre is not easy, and perhaps this classic looking fruit slot version will fare better than the original candyland release. Joker Lux Megaways is an excellent game if you can look past the reskin stamp, and it should rub any fan of instant prizes the right way. The cascading mechanic can accumulate joker scatters in the base game, and this is enhanced in the bonus round.

The Luxpots go up to 5,000x your stake in the base game, which is decent, but not exceptional. However, even more juice is added to the bonus round, where the jokers accumulate as long as new jokers land. This is a highly tense and exciting feature, and the jokers can even land with multipliers up to x5 attached to build the total Luxpot multiplier. Being able to win up to 25,000x the stake is not unheard of in this genre, but Joker Lux Megaways is still up there with the best of them.
