Playson grants clown unlimited powers in Energy Joker: Hold and Win
Provider injects lively Energy Coins theme with mischievous joker
Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, has combined the striking themes of its most successful games in its latest title Energy Joker: Hold and Win.
With coins, electricity and a grinning joker, this fast-paced release has lightning running through its reels. The blue Collect feature strikes the cells and gathers all values, including the Mini, Minor and Major jackpots and Bonus symbols.
The game’s Wild symbol, the joker, substitutes for all symbols on the reels, except Bonus and Collect icons. In the Multiplier feature, he returns once more, using newfound powers to upgrade cells in the Bonus Game to higher value wins. This feature sees coin, jackpot and collect symbols enhanced by random multipliers of x2, x3, x4, x5 or x10 within a cell.
If a Multiplier symbol lands in a cell that already has a multiplier, the previous amount will increase by the corresponding one. They remain on the reels and apply to respective cells when the Bonus Game ends.
Four in-play jackpots appear during the Bonus Game and trigger the corresponding amounts. On Bonus symbols, the Mini equals x25, Minor x50 and Major x150, while all 15 Bonus symbols landing on the reels triggers a Grand jackpot of x5,000 bets.
Another iconic feature of Playson’s titles is the Pile of Gold. Any Bonus or Collect symbols landing on the reels during the main game grant the chance to trigger it, then add Bonus, Collect or Multiplier symbols in quantity enough or more to activate the Bonus Game.
This unforgettable release demonstrates Playson’s deep awareness of its players’ tastes and combines its most successful games into one epic title.
Tamas Kusztos, CCO at Playson, said: “We have a well-established reputation for delivering high-energy slots with unrivalled graphics and animations. With Energy Joker: Hold and Win, we take this to a new level.
“The electrifying lightning, abundant coin imagery and iconic Joker offer a new level of gaming experience, while features such as in-play jackpots and Multipliers create the chance to achieve impressive wins.”
