Mirror Joker

While playing, your field does not stay 3 reels wide. During a Respin you get 5 reels of which the two on the left and the two on the right each display the same symbol three times. You get to re-spin the middle reel for free so you can hopefully catch one or more Mirror Jokers.

The simple slot is low to medium volatile and has a theoretical payout percentage of 96.20%. We are already curious to see if it’s a classic in the making, or just another game to fill the offering after all. You can read how Mirror Joker came out of the test in this slot machine review.

Basic features of Mirror Joker

As mentioned, a round of Mirror Joker starts with 3 reels and each 3 rows. In it you have 5 always active paylines. Your bet can be as low as $0.05 per spin and go up to $100. When you open the online slot, the bet is at $1. You adjust it by choosing one of the four other values or using the plus and minus.

Bonus features of Mirror Joker

Mirror Joker allows you to win up to 880 times your stake as maximum winnings. As you can see, that doesn’t work in the basic game with the 3 reels. There you win a maximum of 20 times your bet with a field full of 7s. Hence, we explain the two bonus features and you can aim for the max win.

Be surprised by the expanding reels of Play’n GO’s Mirror Joker during a Respin with four guaranteed equal reels.

Joker Wild

The ninth symbol on the reels of Mirror Joker is the Joker itself. This time it is another female jester with a gold background. She substitutes for all other symbols and also gives you 16 and 40 times your bet at 3 and 5.

Mirror Respin

The slot is all about the Mirror Respins. You trigger these by collecting two reels filled with the same symbol. You then get the payout of existing combinations. After this, the reels with Stacked symbols are mirrored around the reel with other symbols.

The reels may not contain a mix of symbols and jokers. But a reel full of jokers and a reel full of a regular symbol does count. After this you get two same reels, a middle reel with Respin and another two same reels. Since the playing area is now 5 reels wide, there are 10 active paylines.

During Respin, you encounter the titular Mirror Joker, or mirrored joker. This causes its win lines to pay out in both directions. So if you spin a playfield full of jokers, you win 5 times 16x. If during the Mirror Respin you make sure the middle reel is also full of Mirror Jokers, you get 10 win lines in both directions at 40x. So in total that’s 880x.

What is our opinion of the Mirror Joker slot machine?

The genius of Mirror Joker is in its simplicity. That’s what made Book of Ra (and Book of Dead), Starburst or Lucky Lady’s Charm so popular and why the games still attract players.

Everyone understands the gameplay of the base game. To this is then added a feature that grabs attention. Besides the typical use as a Wild, and in this case Mirror Wild, there is no role for the joker.

Finally, the theme is abstract, which means that outside of the symbols, you have nothing to look at. However, we do admit that the jazzy background music gives the slot some life.
