Epic Joker Introduction

Alright, our headline may have sounded a touch brutal, but it’s hard not to see the name as a bit over-the-top for a straightforward fruit machine with limited upside. Relax Gaming, for anyone unfamiliar, is a service provider that runs the Silver Bullet platform, which is where both Quickspin and Push Gaming distribute their titles. Notably, Relax Gaming recently struck a deal with Big Time Gaming to bring MegaWays mechanics into their lineup—something that could potentially filter through to Quickspin and Push Gaming later on as well, if we’re allowed a little speculation (though we genuinely don’t know).

Relax Gaming isn’t just a platform provider; they also develop their own slots, and to be frank they haven’t had a huge amount of success so far—although it does feel like something is starting to take shape there. Epic Joker, the game we’re looking at today, is a fruit machine that blends classic 3×3 gameplay with a slight futuristic edge. It’s not a standout title, we’ll say that upfront, but since we haven’t featured Relax Gaming before, this can act as a first look. And with the MegaWays partnership in place, it wouldn’t be surprising to see this up-and-comer continue to build momentum.

Epic Joker is a 3 by 3 fruit machine with 5 fixed paylines featuring wild re-spins and super mode free spins. The format is basic, yet it does have a polished sheen. If you’re into 80s-style arcade music, you might honestly find the soundtrack to be the highlight of the whole experience.

Epic Joker Paytable & Symbols

It caters to both casual players and big spenders, with stakes ranging from €0.05 per spin up to €200. As you know, we’re not keen on developers who muddy the waters with coin-value systems—partly because it turns into mental arithmetic, and partly because it can feel misleading. Credit to Relax Gaming for presenting a clear paytable where the numbers are shown directly in relation to your current bet.

As shown in the image above, a single payline of the highest-paying symbol—the Joker wild—returns 100 times your stake. The rest of the reel set is made up of cherries, bars, plums, lucky sevens, oranges and stars.

Epic Joker Features

Epic Joker includes 2 features – the wild re-spin and Super Mode free spins. The re-spin feature triggers when a complete stack of Joker wilds lands on the reels. That stack locks in place while the other reels spin again. If another stack lands, the sequence repeats. This is your strongest chance of hitting a full screen of wilds and claiming the top jackpot of 500 times the stake.

The second feature is the Super Mode free spins. Landing a full screen of any symbol awards 5 free spins. These play much like standard spins, although the reels may be boosted with additional high-value symbols. The free spins can also be re-triggered, taking you to 10 free spins in total.

Epic Joker Conclusion

If you’re a fan of fruit machines, Epic Joker could be worth a spin. If not, there isn’t much here that makes it a must-play. There are also stronger fruit-machine options available, including MultiFruit 81 by Play’n Go (not the most traditional), Mega Joker (NetEnt) and Power Stars (Novomatic).

On the plus side, the 97% RTP is nicely generous, and it could work as a fun high-stakes game for high rollers. On the downside, the 500x max potential feels far too small for us to find much real thrill in it.
