Joker Troupe Slot (Push Gaming)

The Joker Troupe slot has 4 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, oddly. A winning combination is created when 3 or 4 matching symbols appear on successive reels, starting from the leftmost reel and across any of the 10 paylines. With only the highest payout awarded, the only exception is the highest-value symbol as 2 or more are required for a win.

With a minimum bet of 10p a spin, the most you can spin for in the UK is £5 per spin (or up to £2 if you’re under 25). Outside the UK, the max bet is £100 per spin (or currency equivalent). Non-UK players can also benefit from Autoplay (up to 1,000 auto spins) and Turbo Mode.

The Joker Troupe RTP rate is 96.68%, which is well above the 96% slot game average. As expected, Push Gaming has created alternative RTP variants: 95.34%, 94.4% and 92.44%. Having a significant impact on the number of expected spins, below is the number of spins you can expect to play based on a £20 balance and a minimum bet of 10p a spin:

• 96.68%: 5,994 spins
• 95.34%: 4,271spins
• 94.4%: 3,554 spins
• 92.44%: 2,633 spins

In the high volatility bracket, there is no hit frequency rate information but Joker Troupe comes with 25,367 x bet max wins.

With a joker theme, the Joker Troupe slot is a modern take on traditional joker games. Slick and glossy, purple dominates the backdrop. You’ll also hear a subtle, electro style soundtrack which ramps up in the bonus features. Aesthetically, it’s rather odd yet unique.

On the reels, symbols include blue and red orbs, star fruit, dragon fruit, purple dice and a red and gold 8. The red and gold 8 symbol is the best paying, reward you with 1, 20 or 100 x your total bet for 2, 3 or 4 in combination.

Joker Troupe comes with 3 Joker Scatters: a Green Joker Scatter, Blue Joker Scatter and Red Joker Scatter. They are key to triggering their own bonus feature (more on these below).

Joker Troupe Mobile

Joker Troupe has been created using HTML5 technology, adapting to mobile, tablet and desktop devices. You’ll play in Portrait Mode if you access the game on an iOS or Android smartphone. The 4x3 reel layout works well on smartphones but a larger screen is recommended, especially for the Red Joker Free Spins feature.

With 3 bonus features, Joker Troupe offers free spins, streak respins and a wheel game. Each Joker Troupe member has its own bonus feature, with 3 of that joker landing to trigger it.

Red Joker Free Spins

3 Red Joker Scatters symbols landing anywhere during a base game spin will see you trigger the Red Joker Free Spins feature. With 20 seconds of free spins awarded, it uses the Hypermode mechanic.

Look out for Red Joker Scatters landing as they fill the meter. When you fill the meter, the free spins timer resets to 10 seconds. Importantly, the frequency of free spins increases allowing for more free spins.

With 12 levels, every subsequent level increase after level 4 increases the probability of red and gold 8 symbols landing on the reels. The feature ends when the timer runs out.

Green Joker Wheel

3 Green Joker Scatter symbols anywhere during a base game spin will activate the Green Joker Wheel feature. You’ll then see a wheel which has 14 segments: 2 Booster segments and 12 Bet Multiplier segments.

If the wheel stops on a bet multiplier segment, you’ll win that amount with the segment going dark for the remainder of the feature. The feature ends if the wheel stops on a dark segment.

When it comes to Booster segments, this is what happens:

• 1^st Time: If the wheel stops on a Booster segment, a 2x Wheel Multiplier is awarded plus 1 extra spin on the wheel.
• 2^nd Time: If the wheel stops on a Booster segment again, a 5x Wheel Multiplier applies with 1 more spin on the wheel.
• 3^rd Time: If the wheels tops on a Booster segment for a third time, you’ll trigger the Red Joker Free Spins feature.

With 2 Booster segments, the Wheel Multipliers multiply each other meaning a possible 100x multiplier. The most lucrative Bet Multiplier segment is worth 10 x your total bet so this can result in a 1,000 x bet payout if you’re lucky.

Blue Joker

Finally, 3 Blue Joker Scatter symbols anywhere during a base game spin will see you play the Blue Joker feature. Played on a new set of reels featuring just Blue Joker and Red Joker Scatters, you begin with 3 respins.

With Blue Joker Scatters transforming into Blue Hats, Red Joker Scatters lock in position: with either lands the number of respins resets to 3. Every 3 symbols landed unlocks a new row where new Blue Hats or Red Joker Scatters cand land. Each time a row is unlocked, the multiplier on Blue Hat symbols increases, up to 25x (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x and 25x).

When you run out of respins, each Blue Hat reveals a value that is subject to the multiplier (which are totalled and awarded). If 3 Red Joker Scatters are in view once the feature ends, you’ll go on to play the Red Joker Free Spins feature.

Bonus Buy

Outside the UK, Joker Troupe offers a Bonus Buy feature. With 4 options, below are all the details:

Rating: 4.6/5

Joker Troupe uses a revolutionary Hypermode mechanic that delivers high-octane action for a unique and breath-taking experience.

With a modern joker theme, I didn’t quite know what to expect when I fired up the Joker Troupe slot. Played on a 4x3 grid, this game is anything but a classic slot game.

Whilst the base game is pretty mundane, it’s all about the 3 Joker Scatter symbols as they each trigger their own bonus feature. The Green Joker Wheel feature sees you spin a wheel to win bet multiplier prizes and land on booster segments to increase the multiplier (which applies to bet multiplier prizes). In the Blue Joker feature, you get respins with multiplier increases that apply to Blue Hats in view: you can add plenty of new rows to see more Blue Hats.

Both features also give you the opportunity to trigger the all-important Red Joker Free Spins feature. Also triggered by landing 3 Red Joker Scatters, you start with 20 seconds of free spins. Using the Hypermode mechanic, the aim is fill the meter with Red Joker Scatters: this resets the free spins timer to 10 seconds and increases the frequency of free spins. With various levels, more high-value red and gold 8 symbols land for bigger winning potential: there is a fan like icon to the side of the reels that shows you progress.

When playing the Red Joker Free Spins feature, expect the feature to end abruptly on most occasions. If you land enough Red Joker Scatters, the game goes into overdrive and can pop off with a higher chance of higher value red and gold 8 symbols lands. Whilst it sounds quite simple, the increased speed of the free spins really makes Joker Troupe unique.

Earning cult status, Joker Troupe comes with 25,367 x bet max wins: a number only achievable in the Red Joker Free Spins feature. The bonus features do land fairly frequently though but smaller wins are to be expected most of the time.

Scintillating and exciting, the sound also goes into overdrive to match the gameplay. Push Gaming has managed to make the experience of unlimited retriggers more intense with a larger portion of the RTP reserved for 1,000 to 10,000 x bet max wins.

Due to its uniqueness, you’ll find other studios have mimicked the concept: Print Studios’ 12 Burning Baseballs (Blazing Train Bonus feature) and Relax Gaming’s Guitar Quest (Solo Mode Bonus feature) come to mind.

In summary, Joker Troupe is a superb and innovative slot game that will stand the test of time. Coupled with big max win potential, the revolutionary Hypermode mechanic often doesn’t get the credit it deserves in my opinion.
