Devil Joker Demo Review

In the world of online slots, some game engines are so powerful, so iconic, that they become true legends of the industry. The “Pay Anywhere” tumble and multiplier mechanic from Gates of Olympus is one such legend. Today, the masters of the craft at Pragmatic Play are unleashing this powerhouse once again, but this time, they’ve given it a fiery, demonic, and classic Joker makeover in their new release, Devil Joker. This game takes the divine power of the gods and drags it to the underworld. With a 5,000x jackpot on the line, the question is, is this a deal with the devil worth making? Let’s find out.

Theme and Design

From the moment you load the game, you are plunged into a fiery and mischievous underworld. The game’s large 6×5 grid is set against a backdrop of flames and gothic patterns, with a devilish joker character watching over the reels. The art style is a superb, high-quality cartoon aesthetic that perfectly blends a classic Vegas fruit machine with a dark, fiery theme.

The symbols on the reels are a collection of classic casino icons, all with a demonic twist. You’ll find golden crowns, dice, playing cards, and a foaming mug of what we can only assume is some kind of hell-brew. The game uses a Pay Anywhere system, meaning you win by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the screen. The sound design is a fantastic, high-energy rock track that perfectly captures the rebellious, high-stakes energy of the game.

Gameplay and Features

Let’s be perfectly clear: if you have ever played the legendary Gates of Olympus or Starlight Princess, you know exactly how to play Devil Joker. This is a proud and direct reskin of that iconic game engine. It’s a highly volatile slot with a generous RTP of 96.50%. The gameplay is still driven by the legendary Tumble and Free Spins feature.

Tumbling Reels & Multiplier Symbols: The game uses the classic Tumble feature. After any win, the winning symbols disappear, and new symbols fall from above to take their place, creating the potential for chain reactions. The key to big wins are the Multiplier symbols, which can land with values from 2x up to a massive 500x. At the end of a tumble sequence, all visible multipliers are added together and applied to the total win.

Free Spins Feature: The main event is triggered by landing 4 or more of the Devil Joker Scatter symbols, which awards 15 free spins. This is where the game’s legendary potential is truly unleashed. The feature uses a persistent, global win multiplier.

Whenever you get a win with a multiplier symbol present, its value is added to a total multiplier meter on the side of the screen. This meter does not reset for the entire duration of the bonus round. It only ever increases, and it applies to every single subsequent win. This creates an incredible snowball effect, where the final few spins can be played with a colossal multiplier, leading to the game’s 5,000x maximum win.

Final Thoughts

So, is Devil Joker a new king of the underworld? My verdict is yes, but he’s a king for a specific audience. This game is a fantastic offering for players who love the Gates of Olympus mechanic but want a theme that is a bit edgier and more classic than the mythological epics. The gameplay is, without question, some of the best in the world.

This game is built for the massive fanbase of Gates of Olympus and Starlight Princess. If you are one of the millions of players who love that style of game, you will feel right at home here. The team at Pragmatic Play has shown that a great game engine can be wrapped in any theme and still deliver a world-class experience. While it doesn’t offer anything new mechanically, it provides a fantastic new flavour of one of the greatest Slots ever made.
