Jolly Jester is a 5 reel (non- progressive), 25 payline microgaming video slot. It offers a wild symbol, scatter symbol, multiplier, free spins, bonus game and you have a chance at winning a jackpot of up to $10,000.
Bring the Jester himself to your screen and spin the reels to some juggling balls, the King and Queen and their lovely castle. These are just a few symbols that you will find on the reel along with your usual high deck card symbols, and not to forget Jester’s boots and guitar, he’ll need those to entertain royalty. The creators have also used bright lively colours to add to the theme. Well designed I must add. The graphics, sound effects and background music will entertain every individual. The idea of the jolly jester feature is to have a cheeky side to it, as the Jester is making fun of you on the side while you are trying to focus and get the best possible bonus for that round. A unique idea from microgaming, is the change of symbol value or action during free spins. You will know what I mean when you get to the Jolly Jester feature.
Wild Symbol: The Jester Symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter symbol. This is the strongest symbol in the game as it can provide you with high returns.
Scatter Symbol: The Castle symbol is the scatter of this game. Spin up 2 or more anywhere on the reels to make a winning combination. This symbol will also trigger the Jolly Jester Feature.
Bonus Game/ Free Spins: When you get 3, 4 or 5 Castle symbols on the reels scattered, it triggers the Jolly Jester Feature. You will enter the castle’s courtyard and meet the Jester himself, dancing next to 9 brightly coloured boxes. You will keep choosing boxes until you match three of the same prize, and if you:
-Reveal 3 x Free Spins - 10 Free Spins at a starting multiplier of x1. After each free spin, the multiplier is increased by 1.
-Reveal 3 x Jester Symbols – You will be awarded 10 Free Spins, and during the free spins all the King and Queen Symbol becomes the Wild Jester Symbol, therefore more chances at completing winning combinations, and better yet all winnings are doubled.
-Reveal 3 x Castle symbol – You will be awarded 10 Free Spins, and all the King and Queen Symbol become the Scattered Castle symbol. All winnings will also be doubled.
The Jolly Jester Feature cannot be re- triggered
Gamble Feature: After a win, you get the chance at doubling or quadrupling the amount if you gamble correctly. To do this, click the gamble button on your screen before collecting and choose the card colour (black or red) to double your winnings. To quadruple your winnings choose the correct card suit. If your guess is incorrect you lose your total winnings.
Overall, this slot was quite fun to play with all seriousness put aside. Definitely recommend any player this game as it can be quite entertaining.
