BetSoft has announced that its latest online slot – Jumbo Joker – will go live at licensee sites on October 26.
The game is BetSoft’s fresh interpretation of the traditional, much-loved fruit machine that ihas been a staple of land-based casinos for decades.
Jumbo Joker has two tiers of reels and a Jumbo Meter that activates after any win of 20 coins or higher on the lower tier of reels. A player can choose to collect their winnings, or Go Jumbo! and wager them again on the higher reels.
Dan Cooper, BetSoft’s head of development, says the game will appeal to a wide range of demographics, especially those with nostalgia for playing in a brick-and-mortar casino. The animations have been enhanced to appear more modern while still retaining the classic feel, and realistic audio effects establish a connection to the physical experience of a pull-lever slot machine.
“Jumbo Joker is a good choice for players who appreciate the classic slots genre,” said Cooper in a release statement.
“The game offers a level of strategy that most traditional slots lack, and we feel that this will appeal to players who enjoy a more in-depth experience. Mystery Wins that occur during the Jumbo Meter mode keep the gameplay riveting so there is always something new with every spin.”
