Fire and Roses Joker

While Jokers are known for being comical, the character in this online slot, known as Jolene, has a mystical aura about her. She stands to the left of the board and can interact with play in a couple of different ways, both of which will be discussed in this review. The Fire and Roses Joker slot has a 3-4-5-4-3 layout and comes with 720 pay lines that can operate from left to right or right to left, if at least three of the same symbols are present. 

This slot was created by Triple Edge Studios, a provider that has a strong partnership with Microgaming. Together, they have created some colossal titles, including the likes of Phoenix Reborn, Planet Fortune, and Dragon Maiden. Of course, they also released the hugely successful Rise of Olympus and Book of Dead slots online.

The standard symbols in Fire and Roses Joker revolve around the four playing card suits, with a green club, a purple diamond, a red heart, and a blue spade all being included. Next up are the premiums, shown as a playing card, a set of dice, two cherries, and a blue lucky seven. Should five of these form a matching combination, players will be awarded with 2x, 3x, 4x, or 8x their stake size, respectively. 

Wild icons, like in other video slots, can replace any of the previously mentioned symbols, and in this title, they are displayed as the Joker herself. There are also the letters J, O, K, E, and R, which represent the scatter symbols in Fire and Roses Joker. Last but not least are golden coins, which can trigger their own bonus round, as covered below!!

To start this section, let's touch on the use of the golden coins. Should these appear, they will add 0.5x the current stake size to the jackpot associated with the reel it landed on. Multiple coins can land during the same spin and at random; when enough are collected, the jackpot wheel bonus can trigger. This is pretty straightforward and involves a wheel being spun, with the outcome deciding which of the four jackpots is awarded to the player. After this round has concluded, the jackpot will be reset. 

Another feature in Fire and Roses Joker will trigger if scatter icons appear on exactly 4 reels. This will increase the multiplier in the top right by 0.5x, up to a maximum of 10x, which will be applied during the main bonus. 

In order to activate the aforementioned mode, scatter icons need to land on all reels simultaneously. Players will start with a minimum of 4 free spins, before all scatter symbols award an extra spin, or add a 1x multiplier for the duration of the round. All potential winnings, apart from jackpots, will be subject to this multiplier. Finally, it's also possible to retrigger the round by landing five more scatter symbols. If this happens, the player will be awarded with the same number of spins that they received at the start of the bonus. 

While the Fire and Roses game may appear to be rather basic at first, the animations and array of bonus features help this title to stand out from other casino slots. As mentioned earlier, the paylines in this title can also award from left to right, or right to left!
