Joker Troupe Juggles Genre Expectations

The character of the joker, as found in decks of playing cards for decades, is no stranger to the world of casinos. Countless video poker titles employ the joker as a wild character that can stand in for any regular card in the deck, and jokers have also played a central role in a number of slot games. Joker Troupe from Push Gaming is the latest slot to feature the ever-popular joker archetype, and this title juggles expectations of the genre very nicely to deliver a game which feels as fresh and innovative as anyone could hope for.

Fantastic Four Reel Format

Joker Troupe is a four-reel slot, which immediately sets it apart from the plethora of three- and five-reel games that are available. When launched, the game has three rows, but more rows can come into play in one of the three special features which are available to be triggered. We will talk more about that in due course, but first we will focus on the main game, as that is where you are likely to spend most of your time.

The four reels of this game are presented against an abstract purple background, and the reels themselves are dark blue. This helps the colourful symbols to really stand out nicely, and those symbols include a water ball, a fire ball, two fruit items, a pair of dice, an upright infinity symbol and three different jokers (red, blue and green) which serve as scatters.

The visuals are fairly simple but bold and attractive, whilst the soundtrack has an upbeat dance vibe about it which is sure to have you tapping your feet in no time. Sound effects used to highlight the on-screen action fit the dance theme perfectly, and the overall effect of the audio and visuals is to create an enjoyably energising gaming experience.

The red, blue and green joker characters are each capable of triggering their own unique special features, as follows:

Red Joker Free Spins

Get three red jokers on the reels and you will trigger a Red Joker Freespins feature. However, instead of giving you a fixed number of free spins, as you would expect, you are given 20 seconds of free spins. Get more red jokers on the reels during this part of the game and the spins will increase in frequency as well as add to a special meter, with more higher-value symbols being added to the reels. If you manage to fill the meter to the maximum the timer will be reset to 10 seconds, giving you more time to land some free wins from your free spins!

Green Joker Wheel

Get three green joker characters on the reels and you will trigger the Green Joker Wheel feature. This will allow you to spin a segmented wheel to determine the award that you will receive. Here you can win a cash prize and a respin or a multiplier boost and a respin, and if you hit the same booster segment three times you will trigger the Red Joker Freespins feature. The multiplier value at the centre of the wheel is worth x100, so there is plenty to play for here.

Blue Joker Feature

Get three blue joker symbols on the reels at the same time and you will trigger the Blue Joker feature. In this part of the game you will see a special jester hat symbol on the reels. Get three blue hats on the reels and a new row will be added to the game and the multiplier value of hat symbols will increase. The multiplier value of hats can go all the way up to x25, and you can unlock seven new rows, giving you ten rows of symbols on each subsequent spin. Get three red jokers and when the Blue Joker feature ends you will enjoy the Red Joker Freespins feature.

Which Feature Will You Favour?

Joker Troupe offers a very satisfying base game, but the ability to trigger not one but three special features makes it even more entertaining. Each of the three features is sufficiently different to the other two to keep excitement levels high, and players will be keen to have a go at each one in turn in order to determine which one they prefer. Our favourite is the Blue Joker feature which can expand the game up to ten rows, but you may well feel differently.
