Fire Joker Freeze — RTP, volatility and max win

Fire Joker Freeze is a Play'n GO spin-off of Fire Joker: the joker, stars and fruit such as cherry, lemon, plum and grape burn on a small grid. Stacked symbols fill whole reels, respins give a second chance and a bonus wheel hands out multipliers.

Like a classic fruit machine, it keeps to a 3×3 format and just 5 paylines. The symbols are cherries, lemons, plums, grapes and stars, led by the joker in flames. A round costs €0.05 at the low end and €100 at the high end, so the game covers small and large stakes alike. Fire Joker Freeze was released on April 22, 2021.

The 3×3 grid pays on just 5 paylines. A win needs three matching symbols filling a line completely – with three reels there are no shorter hits. Because symbols land stacked, one reel can show the same icon in all three rows and serve several lines at once. The wild fills in a missing symbol on a line. The stake of €0.05 to €100 covers all lines together.

Stacked symbols drive the base game: when two reels are full of the same icon, only the third is missing. That is where respins come in, spinning the reels again for another shot at the missing reel.

The bonus wheel is a prize wheel that awards multipliers. A hit on the wheel multiplies the wins on the grid and is the route to the biggest payouts in the game.

In Fire Joker Freeze, respins bring in the missing third reel when two stacked reels already match; other titles with this mechanic are grouped under inferno slots with respins.

RTP 94.2%, lower than 86% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility Medium, like 49 of the 182 slots in the Fire & flame theme. Background: what slot volatility means. Max win 1,000× (€100,000 at the highest stake).

In Fire Joker Freeze the joker returns 94.2%, below the inferno midpoint. A biggest prize of 1,000× the stake is modest too, which fits a three-reel game with only 5 paylines. Medium volatility comes mostly from the bonus wheel and its multipliers.
