Joker’s Spellbook Slot Review
Get ready to conjure magical wins and claim your fortune in Realistic Games‘ latest release, Joker’s Spellbook!
Joker’s Spellbook is your ticket to a spellbinding adventure, blending the circus charm with dazzling rewards. Realistic Games has created a visually pleasing 5-reel slot, entwined with the ‘Book’ mechanic and expanding symbols. Keeping the magic alive, Joker’s Spellbook also captivates its audience with an epic Bonus Wheel for a chance to win 1 of 4 Jackpot Prizes.
Juggling clowns, colourful jokers, and fancy tricks are part of the package in this particular theme, as witnessed in 3 Clown Monty 2, Joker Split, and Joker’s Jewels Wild. With much to live up to, what tricks will Joker’s Spellbook have up its sleeve? Let’s play on and find out!
Base Game & Features
Joker’s Spellbook is a standard 5-reel, 3-row Video Slot with 10 fixed pay lines and individual bet sizes between £.€0.10 and £.€100 per spin. Classified as a highly volatile slot, this game also includes an overall RTP of 96.10% and a sizable max win cap of 10,000x your bet.
Wins are established when 2-5 matching symbols land from left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel. As expected, the Book Scatter also acts as a Wild, substituting for all paytable symbols it connects with. Other symbols include the Joker, Diamond, Dice, Cards, and A-10 card suits.
Overlaid Tokens
In the base game, special Overlaid Tokens can appear on top of all paytable symbols, excluding Book Scatters. These tokens are responsible for triggering the Bonus Jackpot Wheel. When in view, they are collected within the Joker’s crystal ball, potentially triggering the Bonus Jackpot Wheel.
Bonus Jackpot Wheel
When the Bonus Jackpot Wheel is active, a special wheel featuring all 4 Jackpot Prizes appears. When the Jackpot Wheel stops, the segment aligned with the indicator arrow determines the Jackpot Prize awarded – these include:
- Mini: 10x your bet
- Minor: 25x your bet
- Major: 100x your bet
- Grand: 1,000x your bet
Extra Bet & Bonus Buy
- Extra Bet: Increases your chances of triggering the Free Spins round for double your current bet.
- Free Spins: Enter directly into Free Spins for an additional 100x your current bet.
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Book Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 10 Free Spins and a payout of 10x, 100x, and 500x your bet respectively.
At the start of Free Spins, you will receive 1 high or low-paying symbol as your Expanding symbol for the entire feature. The expanding symbol will expand to cover the entire reel(s), creating wins across all 10 pay lines regardless of their positions. Please note, that the selected symbol will only expand when there are enough of them on the reels. Landing 3 or more Book Scatters awards a further +10 Free Spins.
Our Verdict
It’s been a while since we’ve encountered the traditional ‘Book’ mechanic, but we’re all for it. Since Book of Dead and Rise of Merlin, the Book mechanic has been highly sought-after within the iGaming community, but it’s not one we come across often enough.
More often than not, Book games tend to leave the base game bare of features, with the Scatter symbol doubling up as a Wild. In Joker’s Spellbook, Scatter symbols quickly follow suit, but there is the welcoming addition of a Bonus Jackpot Wheel. This gives players something to contend with whilst grinding for the Free Spins round. In addition, players can access the Extra Bet option which increases their chances of triggering Free Spins with each spin.
The Free Spins round follows in the footsteps of all previous Book titles, delivering 1 Expanding symbol at the start of the feature. Unfortunately, the Free Spins round does not implement the Bonus Jackpot Wheel, which leaves the round pretty standard.
Unlike Play’n GO, Realistic Games has taken the necessary steps to make this game more rewarding through its max win cap. On a good day, Joker’s Spellbook can conjure up wins worth up to 10,000x your bet. This figure is not the highest we’ve encountered, but it certainly increases the overall appeal.
