Theme and Design
Fans of the previous two instalments in the Joker’s Jewels series will feel right at home here. Almost nothing has changed, with the whole thing having the feeling of a traditional slot machine. It’s been given a brush of hot pink and a few well placed flames, but other than that, it’s more of the same.
If you’re a believer in the adage ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ then you’d certainly apply that here. It looks slick and clean, the flames are brilliantly retro, it just doesn’t bring anything new to the table.
RTP and Variance
Joker’s Jewels Hot has medium volatility, meaning the win distribution is relatively even without the big swings you experience when playing high variance slots. It also has a default RTP of 96.50%, but operators can choose to use the alternative rates of 95.50%, and 94.50% so be sure to check before you start playing.
Considering the large max win, these are really favourable stats, which should hopefully allow you to get close to that top prize.
Maximum Win
A top payout of 27,000x your bet simply can’t be sniffed at. The previous two instalments in this series had max wins of 500x and 1,420x so this is a serious leap. Combining this with a favourable RTP and sensible volatility means, for us, this slot is a winner.

Symbols and Paytable
This game features a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 10 paylines. Winning combinations are formed by landing three or more identical symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel.
The game includes 12 pay symbols, plus a wild. The lower-paying symbols are a mix of Single Bar, Double Bar, Triple Bar, and various coloured gems, including green, blue, turquoise, and red. Landing five of the same type of these symbols pays between 5x and 20x the bet. The higher-paying symbols are the shoes, juggling clubs, guitar, and Joker. Five of the same high-paying symbols in a line award between 25x and 100x the bet.
The Wild Symbol in the game, labelled “Hot Wild,” provides substantial payouts, offering 25x, 50x, or 200x the bet for landing three, four, or five Wilds, respectively. Additionally, the “HOT” Symbol triggers the Hot Bonus Paytable payouts when six or more land on the reels.
Features and Gameplay
Joker’s Jewels Hot keeps it simple and classic with just two distinct features. Let’s take a look at how they work.
Wild Symbol
The Wild Symbol (hot wild) substitutes for all pay symbols to help you create wins. It also offers payouts of its own as discussed in the paytable section, up to 200x the bet. If you hit exactly 15 wilds then you get the grand jackpot of 25,000x the bet.
Hot Bonus Instant Prizes
If you land 6 or more hot symbols then you’re awarded an instant cash prize. These vary from 1x the bet up to 5,000x the bet for 15x symbols.
Final Verdict
If traditional slots are your jam then you’ll love Joker’s Jewels Hot. This slot looks for all the world like an actual slot machine and features retro flames and a hot pink colour scheme that screams classic. The mechanics are simple but powerful, giving you the chance to win 25,000x the bet simply for landing the right number of wilds. The default RTP of 96.5% is player-friendly and the medium volatility is wallet friendly too.
If you’re the kind of player who’s into complex mathematics, multiple bonus rounds, and confusing ante-bets then this absolutely isn’t the kind of slot for you. However, if you love classic slots with big winning potential (up to 27,000x the bet), it doesn’t get much better than this.

If you want to feel like you’ve been dropped onto a Vegas casino floor then Joker’s Jewels Hot is the right game to play. The sights and sounds are bang on. And it’s one of those where you just keep hitting the spin button and waiting for a winning combo to drop.
Neither visuals nor gameplay are complex. The win rate came in a little low – 17.6% which is disappointing for a medium variance game – but there were some nice payouts of 18x, 32x and 38.5x. The best of those came from 5 Hot Wilds on the reels shown here. I didn’t see many of those instant win payouts but that might have just been an unlucky day.
Take aways? A great slot for those who like fast-paced and simple Vegas-style games with big potential.
