Play Joker Stacks Online Pokie Free
Launched in the autumn of 2017, iSoftBet’s Joker Stacks is one of the more creative and one-of-a-kind games you are likely to come across from the mid-ranked casino software provider. The online pokie features 5 reels, but not like you’ve seen them before.
With a 3-4-3-4-3 structure, the reels display plenty of bizarre imagery, from lucky symbols such as horseshoes, golden stars to fruit symbols, magic sevens and, of course, the titular joker icons.
There doesn’t appear to be a clear common theme running through the pokie, but if we had to guess one, we’d say that the developers have opted for an old-school pokie-style of theme for Joker Stacks.
How to play
Joker Stacks features 5 reels, each with varying numbers of symbols on them as we’ve said. Players are not going to be able to tinker with any of the 15 paylines which straddle these uneven reels, but they can alter their bets via the “total bet” counter. This will see stakes rise from $0.15 per spin up to $15 per spin in all on this pokie machine.

Features
Wild symbols: The joker (or jester, if you prefer) shows up as a wild in this game. As a wild, he can naturally replace any other symbols which show up on the reels of this pokie game, save for scatter icons. Of course, the other special thing about wilds (as showcased in the pokie’s title) is that they can appear stacked on the first, third and fifth reels of the game.
Scatter symbols: Those scatters appear as the aforementioned golden star. Landing 3 of these icons on the first, third and fifth reels of the pokie will trigger a free spin bonus feature.
Free spin bonus: Triggered via golden star symbol, this feature offers a simple 15 free games, but there are added perks there to be had, too. It is your duty to collect as many wild symbols on the reels of this bonus round whilst you still have spins left. Collecting 6 will give you 2 extra spins and a wild first reel.
Collecting 16 will offer you a wild third reel and 2 extra wilds. Land all 20 and you’ll get a wild fifth reel, plus two extra wild symbols. Collecting 20 is a challenge, and in all likelihood, you’ll have run out of spins by then.
Maximum pay-outs
The standard RTP (return to player) rate in this game is fixed at 96.60%, which is more than decent for any pokie from this developer.
The prizes you can win are not as generous, capped at 150x your total bet. To win that prize, players are going to need to land 5 of the red seven symbols on any payline in the game, although 5 of the blue sevens does still deliver a decent 125-coin secondary prize.
Summary
iSoftBet were aiming for a standard, simple but fun video pokie with classic pokie machine imagery (as far as we can tell). If that is the case, then they have succeeded in developing something which won’t blow you away but is fun to play.
