Jester's Wild Slot
The vast majority of slot games on the current market have something in common: card symbols that usually serve as fill-up icons before the most interesting icons show up. So instead of that, why not embrace the card theme completely?
This is what Jester's Wild by WGS has done. This video slot game is entirely dedicated to creating a casino-inspired, card game atmosphere with plenty of hidden bonuses, big wins and a lot of fun to be had on the reels. The classic card symbols have never been that fun before, and you are in for a treat.
Read our full review of Jester's Wild and get to know this original slot game a little bit more before you let the reels spin loose.
Shuffle the Cards and Get the Game Started
Jester's Wild is one of those slot games that stick to the origins of the genre and send players down to their local casino - figuratively speaking.
As a result, the game screen is made to look like a game table, covered in green velvet and placed right under the spotlight. The game looks bright and alive, with great graphics and top-notch animations at every moment. Certainly a nice way to make a good impression right from the start.
If you are not allergic to casino-inspired games, and we can think about any reason that you would be, stick around and let’s give you a tour of the basic rules of Jester's Wild.
Play Big to Win Big
Jester's Wild sticks to a set of easy and straightforward rules to help players get an easy start on the reels, as we will see in this section of our review.
The game matrix features 5 reels with three symbol positions on each of them, and 30 paylines in total on which to bet. The winning symbol combinations actually need to land on activated paylines in order to be valid and trigger a cash prize, which will go directly into your credit total. Take a moment to adjust your wager and select how many paylines you want to bet on thanks to the command bar below the reels, and hit the spin button to place your bet and set the reels into motion.
Keep in mind that you can increase your future rewards by betting a little extra and taking a risk on your next spin. Otherwise, try turning on the autoplay mode and place the same bet on several spins in a row, without having to lift a finger.
The Most Classic Paytable You Can Think Of
The symbols of Jester's Wild are all inspired by classic casino items, including a standard deck of playing cards.
The most common reel symbols are the number 9, 10, Jack, Queen and King. The rewards you will get with these symbols will not go higher than 200 times your initial wager, which is already a nice win but nothing compared to the rest of the menu.
The mini slot, dice, roulette and Ace make up the rest of the list. Now these symbols are a little more elusive than the others, so you will need a bit more luck and perseverance to manage to score winning combinations with them. Meanwhile, keep in mind that you can win a cash prize 1,000 times the value of your wager for a 5-Ace combination. We figured that it would be motivation enough.
Pull out the Secret Card
Jester's Wild also features a few special cards that bring some special features to the table and can work in your favour. The Jester is obviously the wild card of the game, ready to substitute for any of the symbols listed previously. Jester combinations can also be worth up to 4,000 times your wager.
The special Jester icon can only appear on the middle reel. When it does so, it will replace 4 random symbols on the reels with a wild card to spice things up a little and, perhaps, land you a few big wins in the process.
Finally, the colourful bonus wheel symbol is a scatter. Land 3 of them on any position to trigger the bonus round of the game; spin the wheel twice to win free spins (up to 32) and multipliers (up to x6).
A Brand New Feel
Jester's Wild is by definition a classic slot game, and yet it manages to give players a brand new take on the famous casino theme.
The result is an addictive game with generous bonuses and a lot of character. It will not take a few spins before you find yourself unable to stop betting.
