Joker Max: Hit 'n' Roll Xmas Edition Review

Winter is a time for joy and celebrations, so we usually see many festive slot releases during the period. Some studios, however, take a somewhat lazier approach, restyling their older games, which is the case with Kalamba Games and its Joker Max: Hit’n’Roll Xmas Edition slot, yet another seasonal reskin bringing nothing new but Christmas vibes to the players.

The slot under review follows into the footsteps of the original Joker Max: Hit’n’Roll, which has been received quite well by the gambling audience with its fascinating take on the fruit theme and a mouthwatering winning potential. The Xmas Edition offers a similar experience as pretty much everything remained untouched. Well, the design hasn’t also undergone a lot of changes, and you won’t tell for sure it’s a Christmas release if it wasn’t stated in the name. The major difference here is the background image, which switched from blue to red. Plus, the reels are now slightly covered in snow and the soundtrack turned to a more jolly one. That’s it.

Powered by a highly-volatile math model, rated 9 out of 10 by the developers, the Joker Max: Hit’n’Roll Xmas Edition slot has RTP Ranges, offering different return values, with 96.17% being the highest.

Wins occur roughly once in 8 spins, according to a hit frequency of 15.1%. What’s most impressive is the maximum win, which is a staggering 50,000x the bet. Finally, the bets vary from €0.3 to €15 per spin and the game can be played on any device.

As we head over to the symbols, we see 10 different pay symbols, including a bunch of fruits and other familiar classic icons that appear on the 5x4 reels with 40 fixed win lines. They are cherries, plums, grapes, and watermelons, worth 0.66x your bet for five-of-a-kind combinations, and clovers, bells, single, double, and triple bars, and fiery sevens worth from 1x to 2.66x your bet.

Joker symbols are the most desired here - they are Wild, acting as substitutes for any other regular symbols in winning combos, plus they pay 33.33x your bet for five on a line. More than that, Wild symbols can appear with a 2x Multiplier, which is applied to all wins they take part in.

All symbols can appear stacked on the reels, including the Wilds.

Joker Max: Hit’n’Roll Xmas Edition Slot Features

As you play through the base game, the Cashpot and Free Spins meters gradually upgrade, increasing the prize values and free games counter. The initial Cashpot values range from 10x to 10,000x the bet, and they can increase up to 50,000x. The Free Spins meter starts at 5 and can grow up to a maximum of 25. When a bonus is triggered, the respective meter is reset to the initial value.

When 3 Bonus symbols land simultaneously on the three middle reels, the Hit’n’Roll bonus wheel is activated, where players can win either a fixed cash prize, a Cashpot, or access to the Free Spins. There are 3 different options of free games, each with different Multiplier Wild symbols, namely 2x, 3x, or 5x.

During the Free Spins, new Bonus Accumulator symbols become available on reels 2, 3, and 4, which are collected to the respective meter when they land in view. Once 3 are collected, players are awarded +3 additional free games, no limits. However, Multiplier Wilds are only available on reels 2 and 4 during the feature.

Players can also use the HyperBonus feature to activate the Bonus Wheel immediately. There are two types of Hit’n’Roll bonuses - one can randomly award either cash prizes or Cashpots, and the other offers cash prizes and Free Spins.

The number of Free Spins and Cashpot values are determined randomly at the beginning of each HyperBonus. Keep in mind that the RTP is slightly increased in the buy bonus, up to 96.32% for the Free Spins wheel, and up to 96.58% for the Cash Wheel.
