Joker Millions is a 2015 Yggdrasil progressive jackpot slot with a classic joker and fruit theme. It mixes a 25 line base game with a freeze and respin feature, column multipliers and a pooled progressive jackpot. You reach the jackpot by landing five jokers to start a Jackpot Spin, then collecting all 15 jokers. It suits players who want a modern looking jackpot game with more going on than a plain line slot.
How does Joker Millions work?
The game uses five reels and three rows with 25 paylines, paying from left to right. Symbols are classic fruit machine icons alongside the joker.
In the base game, a freeze and respin feature holds winning symbols in place and spins the rest, giving you a second chance to extend the win. Column multipliers can combine with this feature to increase the payout.
Each joker that lands awards a mystery win of up to 1,000 coins.
What are the Joker Millions bonus features?
Landing five joker symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Jackpot Spin. In this round, the aim is to fill all 15 positions with jokers. If you collect all 15, you win the progressive jackpot, which is pooled across casinos running the game.
Partial results in the Jackpot Spin still pay through the jokers' mystery wins, but the progressive jackpot itself is only awarded for a full screen.
There is no free spins round in the usual sense; the respins and the Jackpot Spin are the main features.
Is Joker Millions worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
Yggdrasil lists the RTP at 94.3%, which is below average. Part of each bet goes to the progressive jackpot, which explains the lower regular return. Casinos may also use alternative settings, so check the paytable.
Yggdrasil rates volatility as medium to high, and SlotCatalog lists it as medium. The fixed maximum win outside the jackpot is listed at 2,500x by SlotCatalog, while Yggdrasil states €50,000. The jackpot itself is rare, so treat it as a bonus rather than the reason to play.
Tips before you play Joker Millions
- Check the current jackpot value at your casino, as it is pooled and changes over time.
- Remember the regular RTP is lower than average because of the jackpot contribution.
- Keep stakes modest; most of your session will be decided by the base game and respins, not the jackpot, which very few players ever hit.
- Try the demo to see how often the five jokers needed for the Jackpot Spin land.
- Read the game rules at your casino for the exact jackpot conditions, as pooled jackpots can have specific stake rules.
- Set a firm budget, since a below average RTP will usually reduce a balance faster than a typical slot.
