Hot Bonus Joker slot review
Hot Bonus Joker is an Inspired slot released in June 2021. It puts a classic fruit-and-sevens look on six reels and four rows with 50 paylines, using gameplay from Inspired’s Big Bonus. The free spins have no set number: a pick before the round sets a target, and the spins carry on until a single win reaches it, with a maximum win of 12,500x stake.

How Hot Bonus Joker plays
The symbols are the ones a fruit machine player would expect: cherries, lemons, oranges, grapes, plums and watermelons, a crown, and sevens in several colours. Wins need three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel, along any of the 50 fixed lines.
- Joker wild: substitutes for the paying symbols on all six reels in the base game. It doesn’t replace the star.
- Star scatter: three or more in view open the free spins.
Fifty lines on a 6x4 grid give far more chances to connect than a three-reel fruit machine, yet the look stays deliberately traditional. The base spins feel familiar, and the design work goes into how the bonus ends.
Free spins and the Pick Me feature
Three or more star scatters trigger the bonus. First, the Pick Me feature turns each star into a pick option, and your choice reveals the big bonus win value: a random target between 20x and 100x stake.
From there the free spins have no countdown. They run until one single win matches or beats the target, and smaller wins along the way are added to the total. Jokers land on reels 2 to 6 in the round and stick until it ends.
That makes it unlike a standard ten-spin round: a low target can end it quickly, and a high one can stretch it out while sticky wilds build up. The length and value of any round are down to chance.
