Joker Coins Megaways Review

OnlyPlay has apparently decided to give their less than memorable fruit slot from 2021 the Megaways treatment, and Joker Coins Megaways is somewhat similar to the original. The fruity visual presentation hasn’t changed much, but the 6x6 dynamic grid is obviously bigger and bolder than the 3x3 classic grid you get in Joker Coins. The visuals are pretty generic overall, but the glossy fruit machine symbols have timeless appeal for a reason.

You will not find all that many features in this game, but you get wild symbols to help you out in the base game. They can appear on the 4 middle reels only though, and the main attraction is the Hold & Win Bonus. It comes with sticky cash symbols that reset the respins tally, and filling reels award larger prizes called Full Reel Awards. They go up to 1,000x for a 6-position reel, and you can win up to 9,113x your stake overall.

Joker Coins Megaways Slot Features

The symbols pay between 1 and 12.5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and you win by landing 3-6 matching symbols on adjacent reels from the uttermost left to the right. Each reel comes with up to 6 positions, and the grid maxes out with 46,656 Megaways.

You need at least 6 joker scatter symbols in view to trigger the Hold & Win Bonus Round, and the triggering symbols turn into sticky cash coin symbols on an otherwise cleared grid. Only cash coins or blanks will appear during the feature, and the cash coins come with prize values between 1x and 18x your stake.

You start with 3 respins in the tally, and any new coin symbol that appears resets the tally each time. Coin symbols also become sticky on the grid whenever they land, and filling a reel with coin symbols award the corresponding Full Reel Award. The size of the full reel awards depend on how many positions the full reel has, and here is an overview:

• Mini Award - a full 2-positions reel gives you a 20x your stake prize.
• Minor Award - a full 3-positions reel gives you a 40x your stake prize.
• Major Award - a full 4-positions reel gives you a 100x your stake prize.
• Maxi Award - a full 5-positions reel gives you a 250x your stake prize.
• Grand Award - a full 6-positions reel gives you a 1,000x your stake prize.

The Hold & Win Bonus Round is over when you run out of respins, and this is when the sum total of your winnings are paid.

Review Summary

OnlyPlay hasn’t exactly gone overboards with this Megaways version of their original game, but then again, it was a rather simple fruit slot to begin with. Joker Coins Megaways plays out on a bigger and bolder format, of course, but the number of win ways is well below average for this engine.

The Hold & Win feature is fairly standard stuff as well, although it comes with full reel prizes that aren’t that common. Such features are not unheard of though, and it’s always appreciated to be able to win larger prizes. The top-tier jackpot only pays 1,000x your stake though, which isn’t all that in the grand scheme of things, but you can apparently win up to 9,113x your stake in Joker Coins Megaways. This is a bit below what’s on offer in the original game, which is a somewhat strange choice.

Pros

• Up to 46,656 Megaways
• Wilds on the 4 middle reels
• Hold & Win w/ full-reel prizes up to 1,000x
• Win up to 9,113x your stake

Cons

• RTP of 95.24 % is below average
