Joker 2000 Slots
A joker, a jester, a fool. In the noble houses of mediaeval Europe, a jester would be tasked with entertaining all the noblemen and noblewomen at court. These jugglers, musicians, jokers and all-round entertainers would say and do the things other people dare not, and depending on the temperament of the royal they might even get away with insulting the king. Joker 2000 by Novomatic offers a different kind of entertainment in the form of an online slot you can play for real money. While it may not make you as wealthy as a king, you need not risk losing your head over it either.
If you find traditional fruit machines amusing then Joker 2000 will leave you feeling tickled, for it is an incredibly simple set up. Yes, it’s an old-fashioned game in some regards, but it’s not exactly medieval either. So in the setting of a Vegas casino pull up a chair and see what surprises this simple fool has to offer.
Joker Joker
It may sound a little bit silly, but Joker 2000 is two games in one. There is a basic game and a super game and both have their gleeful little joker in play. The basic game is a 3x3 configuration with 5 paylines. It’s so simple even an idiot could understand it, so if you can’t get to grips with this one the joke is on you.
The design of this slot is so reminiscent of the one-armed bandits you’d find in a casino that some part of you may be left yearning for a handle to pull. There isn’t one, so don’t try. With each click of the start button (where you cab bet from 0.20 to 100.00) the reels spin around giving you the chance to win coins as well charge the super meter. If you charge the super meter to 20 or more that is when the super game kicks in.
What is the super game? It’s the exact same game as the basic game, but instead of spending coins with each spin you spend super meter points. That’s gambling without risk, right up until your super meter points run out. During the super game any two joker symbols will give you between 20 to 2,000 coins which is bound to give even the most hardened of punters something to smile about.
Joking Around
In the basic game you also have the opportunity to gamble, and if you’re not going to gamble then what is the point of gambling? Gambling in Joker 2000 takes the form of choosing between two options: a red clover and a black horseshoe. Yes, clovers aren’t usually red, but you can’t expect the ordinary when you’re playing with the ridiculous. In total 6 lights, 3 clovers and 3 horseshoe are used. Once you make your selection the lights go on and off in a pendulum-like sequence from left to right and right to left. If the light stops on your selection you win the gamble and your coins are doubled. It couldn’t be easier.
If you love classic slots so much you simply cannot get enough of them, there are plenty of options out there. Ultra Hot, also by Novomatic, is exactly like the 3x3 fruit slots you’ll remember playing in years gone by. Of course, if you don’t remember playing anything like that then you can always just play it again to refresh your memory. Reel King is another option for classic slot fans, but this time with an expanded 5x3 layout and a higher number of win lines. In terms of mechanics and gameplay the choice is next to endless. The classic fruit machine lover is certainly well-catered for in the online market.
He Who Laughs Last
Joker 2000 is a simply executed mobile-compatible slot which could easily be found on the gambling floor of any casino in Vegas or Atlantic City. Although the game could be a little too nostalgic for some who might decry its lack of bonus features, what little it does it does do well. The super meter second game is a nice little touch, recycling the basic reel into a bonus game when activated.
The mechanics of the two games are entirely similar so there isn’t a huge amount of variance between the basic game and super game but it does create something for punters to aim at. Sound production and visuals are exactly as you would expect for this type of slot; basic but to a high standard. Joker 2000 may just be a bit of a harmless fun, but only a fool would dismiss it as a clown.
