Overview of Hold the Joker

Hold the Joker is presented by Games Global Studio. This online slot features a layout of 5 reels and 4 rows, with a fixed pattern of 20 paylines. The aim is to spin the reels and land symbol combinations to achieve wins. Each time the reels stop, any winning paylines are highlighted and corresponding prizes are awarded.

Reels, Paylines & Bet Limits

  • Reels: 5
  • Paylines: 20 (fixed)
  • Minimum Bet: £0.20
  • Maximum Bet: £5.00

Payline wins count from left to right, starting from the first reel. A payline is defined by a set path running across adjacent symbol positions on the reels. Only the highest win on each payline is paid when a winning combination occurs. The Paytable within the game displays specific payouts for each symbol combination according to your chosen bet. The total win from each spin is the sum of all winning paylines.

Wild Symbols

Wild symbols can appear in both the base game and during Free Spins. The Wild can replace all other symbols except for the Scatter and Joker. Golden Wilds offer added excitement by spawning either more Wilds or an additional Golden Wild on the reels.

Wild Sticky Frame Feature

Sticky Frame Feature 1

When a Wild symbol lands, it leaves an x1 Sticky Frame in its position. The multiplier of a Sticky Frame can increase and reach up to x5. Sticky Frames play a crucial role during the Joker Wild bonus, as their multipliers are applied to any win occurring on those lines.

Scatter Symbols

Scatter symbols only appear during the base game and cannot be replaced by Wilds. These symbols do not provide a direct payout.

Bonus Boost Bar

Bonus Boost Bar

By landing 2 Scatter symbols, a token is added to the Bonus Boost Bar. If the bar is filled, an extra Bonus Boost is granted when entering Free Spins. The Bonus Boost Bar resets after use in Free Spins and maintains separate progress for each bet value placed.

Nudging Scatter Respin

If 2 Scatters land on the top three rows, the Nudging Scatter Respin feature is triggered. Reels with a Scatter hold in place and nudge down by one row, while all other reels respin. When 2 Scatters remain at the end of a respin, one token is added to the Bonus Boost Bar. This feature continues until a Scatter reaches the bottom row or 5 Scatters are present on the reels. Landing 3 or more Scatters during this feature triggers the Free Spins round.

Joker Wild Bonus

The appearance of a Joker symbol triggers the Joker Wild bonus. During this bonus, all Sticky Frames on the reels are filled with Wild symbols. In the base game, Sticky Frames are removed at the end of the feature. However, during Free Spins, Sticky Frames remain for the duration of the round. Multipliers from Sticky Frames are applied to relevant payline wins. The Joker Wild bonus is available in both base game play and Free Spins.

Bonus Boost Perks

Upon triggering Free Spins, the Bonus Boost becomes active, presenting a card pick for additional prizes:

  • Boost Perk
    Boost Perk: Unlocks the first Suit on the Bonus Trail and awards 5 extra spins with an x2 multiplier.
  • +2 Spins Perk
    +2 Spins Perk: Adds 2 extra spins to your total.
  • +Frames Perk

Up to five perks can be awarded from a single Bonus Boost. Bonus Boost Extra Pick If the Bonus Boost Bar is full, you receive an extra card pick. Free Spins commence after the Bonus Boost round ends, including any perks accumulated.

Free Spins Round

The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, awarding 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins respectively. During Free Spins, landing a Joker symbol moves your position one step up the Free Spins trail, and if Sticky Frames are on the reels, the Joker also triggers the Joker Wild bonus. Progressing up the trail to a Suit milestone awards 5 extra spins and a corresponding multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x10 for each Suit reached.

When Free Spins conclude, there is a chance to be awarded 1 Bonus Spin, guaranteeing a Joker symbol. The Bonus Spin is an extension of the Free Spins, but the Joker in this spin does not count towards the Free Spins trail. Once the feature ends, the Free Spins trail resets. All paylines and bet values during Free Spins are the same as those used to trigger the feature.

Top Hat Jackpot Feature

The Top Hat Jackpot round is randomly activated by collecting Orbs from symbols that appear with an Orb overlay. Once triggered, 12 Top Hats appear on the screen, each concealing one of four Jackpot prizes: GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR, or MINI. Players pick hats until 3 matching Jackpot prizes are revealed, awarding that Jackpot. Only one Jackpot can be won per feature, and it can be triggered from the base game or during Free Spins. Progress for collected Orbs tracks separately for each bet value.
