One of iGaming’s most prolific games studios released a new title last week, and the unusual mathematics of the game have raised a few eyebrows within the industry. Pragmatic Play’s Joker’s Revenge was officially released on the 8th of June 2026, and it’s the latest instalment in the provider’s long-running Joker franchise.
Now, Joker’s Revenge is a game that catches people’s attention for quite an unusual reason. It combines low volatility with a max win potential of 10,000x, and that’s a combination almost nobody in the online gambling industry offers. The game itself runs on a 5-reel, 3-row grid layout with 5 fixed paylines, and it boasts a slightly above-average RTP of 96.51% at its highest setting.
In the base game, players are tasked with collecting gemstone bags of cash and golden cups, with five-of-a-kind payouts worth up to 500x. The female jester character also serves as the game’s wild symbol, substituting for all other paying symbols. Landing three bonus symbols anywhere in view triggers the main feature, awarding an initial 5 free spins.
During these spins, any combination of at least two bonus or wild symbols triggers a progressive bonus pay prize that then increases with every spin, all the way up to a maximum of 10,000x. There are also three feature buy options available, costing 40x, 180x, and 1,000x your bet, triggering 5, 7, or 9 free spins respectively
It’s an interesting release, and with one of the Bonus Buys costing 1,000x, could this be one of the first low-variance pokies that actually appeals to experienced players? Time will tell, we suppose!
