About Dark Joker Rizes slot machine

Theme

Dark Joker Rizes revolves around the classic fruit, bell, and joker layout. But this time, it has a slightly sinister spin. Take a closer look at the symbols, and you're readily able to tell that the lemons are some kind of frankenstein creation, the grapes have eyes, and the cherries are adorned with skulls.

What I'm saying is that Dark Joker Rizes is thematically way cool for anyone who likes classic symbols but finds them sometimes a bit too cutesy and colorful. We can also say that the "dark joker" that gave the game its name is probably not something for anyone with a severe fear of clowns. But if you find clowns creepy or funny in a creepy way, then you'll probably enjoy the Joker and the Jester in this game.

Graphics & sound

Yggdrasil, a game developer based in New Zealand, invests a great deal of money to ensure their slot games have a profusion of quality and a disposition that is nothing short of beautiful. Dark Joker Rizes is one of those slot games, with a hitch to the tale that makes it somewhat stylish. And that's what we've got here: a slot game that does exactly what it should while reserving the right to be called beautiful inasmuch as a slot can be.

The soundtrack is well done and suitably "dark" for this slot machine. It provides an atmosphere that feels a bit more "musk" than our usual offerings, and is definitely made for the late evening. The sound effects are smoothly incorporated into the soundscape and help build a mood without becoming bothersome.

Arrangements and interventions

The game Dark Joker Rizes has 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 fixed bet lines. There are 5 lines that pay from left to right and 5 that pay in the opposite direction. You select a coin value ranging from 0.10 to 3.00, which translates to a total bet range of 1.00 to 30.00 on the game. So, in effect, this is a relatively low-stakes slot. That fact feels welcome, though, because so many modern games can have nauseatingly high bet amounts.

Wins

As dark Joker Rizes is played at rather low stakes, the payouts are not as Moderna as in some other modern slots. Yet the game has a relatively high theoretical return of 96.3%, which allows a player to keep interest up by winning at regular intervals.

Of all the standard game symbols, the pentagram pays out the most, up to 300 times the line bet, or a grand total of 90,000 simoleons per spin. Of course, we are going not to talk about the potential bonus mode in which you could win big in this game, and that, my friends, is Jokerizer Mode. In Jokerizer Mode, the maximum payout goes up to 180,000 simoleons.

Symbols and functions

Mystery Win

Mystery Win

Mystery Win The wild symbols are the key to the game's "Mystery Wins." In the base game, 3 or more jokers are needed to win a random sum. See below for more details.

Jokerizer Mode Whenever you achieve a victory in Dark Joker Rizes, you are given the chance to shift into Jokerizer mode. This is really what passes for a special feature in this game, and it's not even a very special one, but it does ramp up the excitement because you're actually more likely to win in this mode than in the base game. You have the option of betting either 20 or 200 coins per spin in this mode. If you go all in on the 200-coin bet, you are basically buying yourself a 'guaranteed joker,' which, in gameplay terms, is an actual feature of Jokerizer and not a factor of the base game. Even if you bet 20 coins, however, you're still playing a mode with a higher payout percentage.

A guaranteed win of 6000 coins is what you get when you have 5 jokers. Four jacks award a payout of 3000-6000 coins. Three jokers yield a payout of 1,000 to 6,000 coins. Winning with 2 jokers (in Jokerizer Mode) gives you 20 to 6000 coins.

Summary

Dark Joker Rizes is an excellent choice for players seeking straightforward, no-nonsense gameplay paired with attractive visuals and solid payout potential. You won't find wilds, scatters, or typical bonus rounds on this game—but what you will find are devilishly themed symbols that deliver decent payouts and straightforward fun. The Joker and his evil cohorts will cough up nice wins if you're lucky enough to get them; and even when you're not, they're still pretty entertaining to watch.
