Jolly Jester is a 5-reel 25-payline video slot with a wild, a scatter and three different free spin modes. The game is based on a standard 5×3 configuration and allows for adjusting three wagering options: the number of active lines, the number of coins per line (1–5) and a coin denomination ($0.01–$0.20). By increasing or decreasing the said values, you can place a bet starting at $0.25 and up to $31.25 per spin. The top three cash awards are $12,500 (five Jesters), $3125 (five Castles) and $2500 (five King and Queen symbols).

Bonus features

The Jester image is a substitute for all non-feature symbols. Besides, five wilds pay the slot’s largest prize stated above.

The Castle is a scatter, which means that it pays regardless of its position. Hitting two to five of them awards x2 to x100 a total bet. Three scatters on the reels activate a Jolly Jester feature played on the second screen.

Once in the feature, you will be presented with nine colorful boxes. You are to pick them one by one and continue selections until you find three matching pictures. At the end of any Jolly Jester feature you are awarded 10 free spins with one of the three extra bonuses accompanying the free spins:

• matching three Free Spins icons awards 10 FS’s with the initial multiplier of x1. The multiplier goes up by x1 with every subsequent spin, finally reaching x10 on the last free spin
• if you match three Jester icons, all King & Queen symbols will morph into wild Jesters during free spins
• if you match three Castle icons, all King & Queen symbols will transform into scatters every time they land during free spins.

On the downside, free spins cannot be retriggered from within themselves; anyway, the Jolly Jester bonus can result in a very good profit.

After any winning spin, the slot offers an optional gamble feature that you can skip.
