Jokrz Wild UltraNudge Slot Review
Under dim pink-and-purple neon, a grinning jester in a red-and-white cap leans out of the logo panel of a gilt fruit-machine cabinet, rows of tiny bulbs lining its arched crown. Jokrz Wild UltraNudge is BangBang‘s argument that one wild symbol is enough to build a whole game on – and they’re mostly right. It runs at 96.0% RTP (96.5% with Bonus Boost active) on a 5×4 grid with 40 paylines, it’s high volatility, and it tops out at 23,500x the bet.
The patience-then-payoff temperament is a family trait: the same streak-chasing DNA runs through BangBang’s Jokrz Wild Ultranudge GigaBlox, though the ceiling here sits well above its sibling’s, and through Caribbean Catch UltraNudge and Pulled From The Deep UltraNudge. The jester knows what he’s sitting on.
Base Game & Features
The paytable is a classic joker set, and it’s a modest one. Wins pay left to right across the 40 paylines: three or more identical symbols in sequence from the leftmost reel, with only the highest combination on each line counting. The values below are the wins at the default stake of 2 per spin, so a five-of-a-kind from the top symbol returns two and a half times your bet.
- Highest symbol: 5 = 5, 4 = 1, 3 = 0.2
- Second symbol: 5 = 5, 4 = 1, 3 = 0.2
- Third symbol: 5 = 2.5, 4 = 0.75, 3 = 0.15
- Fourth symbol: 5 = 1.5, 4 = 0.5, 3 = 0.15
- Fifth symbol: 5 = 1.5, 4 = 0.5, 3 = 0.15
- Low symbols: 5 = 1, 4 = 0.4, 3 = 0.1
- One low symbol pays 3 = 0.03
Total payline wins are calculated by adding every winning line together, and BONUS diamonds don’t need to sit on a payline to count towards the collection. Three systems sit on top of that table, and each has its own trigger:
- UltraNudge – any win that includes the Jokrz Wild
- Multiplier symbols – landing anywhere on the reels
- Jokrz Free Spins – collecting three BONUS diamonds during spins or UltraNudges
The Jokrz Wild substitutes for the paying symbols, and where a winning combination starts with three wilds, only the highest interpretation is paid out. The wild’s real job isn’t substituting, though – it’s starting the streak.
UltraNudge
Any win that includes the Jokrz Wild triggers the UltraNudge. The win pays, then every symbol on the reels nudges down by one position, and any new wins pay again. The streak runs until a nudge produces nothing further.
Because the reels carry wild and symbol stacks, a single nudge can re-line several paylines at once. A stack walking down the grid can keep the streak alive for payout after payout, and any multiplier symbols that land during the nudge add their values to the round’s running multiplier as the streak continues. One wild in the right place is all it takes.
Multiplier Symbols
Each reel contains multiplier symbols carrying values between x1 and x4. Landed multipliers cumulatively increment the total win multiplier for the current game round, so a round with three multiplier symbols in play can be running at a healthy multiple before the UltraNudge streak even starts.
The win multiplier begins at x1 on every base game spin. Whatever it has climbed to by the end of the triggering round carries over to the first free spin, which is where the numbers start to matter.
Between the stacked wilds, the nudging reels and the multiplier trackers running down the left of the screen, a good round is never quiet. Everything in the base game waits on the joker appearing in a win; until he does, the ornate cabinet is just furniture.
Jokrz Wild UltraNudge Free Spins & Bonuses
Jokrz Free Spins
Three BONUS diamond symbols in the collection meter awards the free spins. Diamonds count whether they land on an ordinary spin or mid-way through an UltraNudge streak, and the round begins once the current game round ends, with 12 free spins on the clock. Any win from the triggering game round is kept, with the bonus total added on top when the session finishes.
Inside the bonus, two rules change everything. The total win multiplier does not reset between spins, and any win – not just wild wins – starts the UltraNudge streak. A multiplier that climbs on spin one is still there on spin twelve.
Three BONUS symbols gathered in a single round during free spins award an additional 12 spins, so a busy round can extend well past its starting count. That matters more here than in most games: every extra spin is another chance for the non-resetting multiplier to climb another step.
Free Spins Gamble
Entering a free spin session offers a one-shot decision: gamble for double multipliers or take the round as it stands. Winning doubles the starting multiplier and every on-reel multiplier, bumping reel values to x2, x4, x6 or x8. Losing forfeits the bonus entirely and ends the game round.
Doubled multipliers on a non-resetting meter is where the game’s biggest outcomes live, and the price of reaching for them is the whole bonus. That’s the whole choice in one sentence.
Bonus Boost
Bonus Boost is a permanent stake bump rather than a one-off purchase:
- Cost – an extra 25% on the total bet per spin
- Trigger chance – roughly 20% better odds of hitting the free spins
- Spins – 15 instead of 12, with retriggers adding 15 rather than 12
- RTP – rises to 96.5% with the boost active
Given how much of this game’s value sits in the bonus and its cumulative multipliers, the extra three spins and the better trigger chance are doing real work. The three additional spins compound too: on a meter that never resets, every extra spin is another chance for the multipliers to keep climbing.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
This is a very handsome, very quiet room, and the joker is worth waiting for. When a stacked wild lands with multipliers underneath it, one spin turns into a rolling sequence of payouts that builds its own momentum, and nothing else in the game matches that feeling.
The carryover multiplier is the smartest thing here: because it survives between free spins, a round is never dead while spins remain, and the gamble at the door can double everything on a meter that only knows how to climb. That same single-mindedness is the weakness. With one in five spins paying and everything routed through the wild, the stretches between streaks run long, and the base paytable won’t carry you through them.
The long build and the bigger finish are the appeal here, and the payoff suits a player with the patience to sit through the quiet spells. The jester has been holding the same door for a while now, and what’s behind it still pays.
