How to play Mega Joker (members only)
Wins are paid when matching symbols land on an active payline, usually left to right starting from the leftmost reel. Your total stake is spread across the lines, and each line win is the line bet multiplied by the symbol's paytable value.
Mega Joker is played on a 3×3 grid with 5 paylines.
- Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $1 and $10. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
- Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.
- Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.

How winnings work (members only)
What 99% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 200x max win at a $1 stake
The top prize is capped at 200x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $200; on $0.20 it is $40. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.
What 99% RTP means
Expected return = stake × 99%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $1.00
RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a high volatility game.
The published hit frequency is 17%, meaning roughly one spin in 5.9 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.
Features explained (members only)
2 features explained: mystery symbols, progressive jackpot
Mystery symbols
Special symbols that all reveal the same randomly chosen regular symbol, which can complete several wins at once.
Progressive jackpot
A jackpot that grows with a share of every qualifying bet until someone wins it. Contributions are funded from the game's RTP.
Strategy tips (members only)
- Size your stake to the volatility. High volatility concentrates the return in rare, large wins. Long losing runs are normal. Keep stakes small (around 1% of your session budget or less) so you can ride out the swings. A simple rule: bring at least 300 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.17.
3 more tips and a session planner
- Check jackpot eligibility. Some progressive jackpots require a minimum or maximum stake to win the top prize. Part of every bet funds the jackpot, so base-game RTP is lower.
- Bonus wagering: at 99% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $10.00 on average. Check the bonus terms, as some casinos exclude specific games. Run your numbers in the wagering calculator.
- Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.
