About Game

Joker Stoker Demo Slot

Hell Hot 100 gives you flaming fruit, stacked Wilds, and no free spins at all. The Joker Stoker demo has the same fire and fruit on a 5×4 grid and a stacked jester Wild, then puts Free Games on top. Three or more scatters start 10, 20, or 30 of them, and you can win more while the round is running.

Joker Stoker arrived as a June 2021 flaming fruit slot from the Endorphina studio, and yes, the joker in the name is the Wild. The gold logo, with its fiery red-orange texture, tops black reels set in a glowing gold-orange frame. You can spin it here in free play, Bonus Pop button and all.

Fiery Fruit Features

The Stacked Joker

Joker Stoker reels with two jester Wilds stacked on reel 1 above two lemons
Two flame-ringed jester Wilds stack at the top of reel 1, each with blue eyes, dark face paint, and a hat with a red centre point, above a pair of lemons.

A smiling jester is the Wild here, with blue eyes, dark diagonal face paint on her cheeks, red lips, and a three-lobed hat with a red centre point, all inside an orange flame glow. She replaces any symbol apart from the scatter, and she pays on her own as well, 50x the total bet for five on a line against 10x for five of either 7.

On base-game spins, the Joker appears stacked. Depending on where a reel stops, you’ll see the whole reel full of Wilds or just the beginning or the end of the stack, like the pair at the top of reel 1 in this frame.

Free Games

Joker Stoker reels with a FREE GAMES scatter on reel 5 and flaming strawberries in a 1.2x line win
A FREE GAMES scatter lands on reel 5, row 2, as flaming strawberries on reels 1 and 3 join a two-high Joker stack on reel 2 for 1.2x; it’s one of the three or more scatters the round needs.

The scatter is the words FREE GAMES in yellow-gold block letters with orange flames rising from the top. Land three or more in any position, and Free Games start, with 10 for three scatters, 20 for four, and 30 for five.

Every free game keeps the stake of the spin that set the round off, and more Free Games can be won while it lasts. During Free Games, the Joker may appear stacked.

Bonus Pop

Its button buys a package of 10, 20, or 30 Free Games at any time. The cost depends on your total bet and the package you pick, and a bought round plays out just like one won by chance, opening with a single base-reel spin that drops enough scatters to start it.

How to Play

Flames on Forty Lines

Joker Stoker’s 40 paylines are fixed, so the line count isn’t something you set. Matching symbols pay when they line up along a payline on neighbouring reels, beginning with reel 1. On each payline, only the highest win is paid. Wins on separate paylines add up.

The FREE GAMES scatter doesn’t need a line. It counts wherever it lands on the reels, and the paytable gives it no prize of its own, so its one job is opening the round.

Bets, Lines and RTP

Set the total bet anywhere from €0.40 to €140. The demo returns an RTP of 98.07%, against the 96.07% Endorphina lists, and that game figure leaves out the Risk Game. Endorphina files the slot under Medium-Low volatility.

After a line win, you can take it to the Risk Game, Endorphina’s card gamble, where picking a card of the same value as the Dealer’s is a draw and your winnings don’t change.

Fruit and Joker Pays

Below the Joker, which can replace any symbol but the scatter, the rest pay in matched sets: both 7s alike, the bell with the BAR, the watermelon with the strawberry, and the lemon, orange, plum, and cherry together. At three of a kind, the 7s, the bell, and the BAR all pay 0.5x. From four up, the 7s pull ahead, at 2x and then 10x. The FREE GAMES scatter has no row.

Symbol 3 4 5
Joker (Wild) 1x 5x 50x
Gold 7, red 7 0.5x 2x 10x
Bell, BAR 0.5x 1.5x 6x
Watermelon, strawberry 0.2x 1x 4x
Lemon, orange, plum, cherry 0.1x 0.5x 2.5x

Ultimate Slots Verdict

Free Games of 10, 20, or 30, started by three or more scatters and winnable again mid-round, are what Joker Stoker has and Hell Hot 100 doesn't. The Joker pays on its own and stands in for everything except the scatter, the art is sharp, and the fruit at the bottom of the table is thin at 0.1x for three. As a fire-fruit game with one bonus round, it earns 3.8/5.

3.8/5 Very Good

✓ What We Like

  • Joker Wilds pay on their own, 50x for five on a line, and cover for any symbol other than the scatter.
  • Free Games start from three or more scatters, at 10, 20, or 30 games, and more can be won while the round runs.
  • Stacks of Jokers appear on base-game spins, filling a whole reel or just the beginning or end of the stack.

✗ What Could Be Better

  • Fruit pays start at 0.1x for three lemons, oranges, plums, or cherries.
  • The Free Games are named for stacked Wilds, but the rules say the Joker may appear stacked during them, not that it will.

Detailed Review

Joker Stoker Review

Next to the 100 paylines of Hell Hot 100, Joker Stoker looks trimmed down. It has 40 fixed lines on the same 5×4 shape, and it has what Hell Hot 100 doesn’t, a round you open with scatters. Both games have a stacked Wild and the Risk Game card gamble, so the difference that matters is lines against Free Games. That makes Joker Stoker the more complete game of the pair, because three or more scatters here start 10, 20, or 30 Free Games that can be retriggered, while Hell Hot 100 has no free spins. More lines or a round to wait for? For a fruit-machine player who wants something to wait for, the round is the better trade.

Flaming Fruit Galore

The art is well made for fruit machines with a fire theme. The background fades from purple at the top to red and orange at the bottom with a faint diamond pattern, both 7s have a flame inside the stroke, and a strawberry that’s part of a win gets wreathed in flames. That touch makes a small line win look bigger than it is, and you should read the fire for what it is. The jester is the best-drawn symbol on the reels, and she’s also the top-paying one, which gives every stack of her real weight on a 40-line board.

The round is named for stacked Wilds, yet during Free Games the rules only say the Joker may appear stacked.

For a fruit-machine fan, the recommendation from this review is simple: load the Joker Stoker free demo and see how a 10-game round feels next to a 30-game one. Fruit at the bottom of the table pays 0.1x for three, and that’s thin. Anyone after a bonus with more ideas than stacked Jokers won’t be won over by this slot.
