Unusual for Play ’N Go
Chronos Joker is something of a departure for Play ’N Go. The action takes place on a 3 reel, 3 row, 5 payline machine. With the star-filled night sky in the background, you’ll see cherries, lemons, melons and plums. More rewarding are the 4 timepiece symbols. There’s a sundial, an hourglass and a pocket watch. The top standard symbol is the futuristic smart watch which pays 4 times your stake if you land 3 in a row. The Chronos Joker is the wild. Land 3 of these in combination for a payout of 16 times stake. All symbols can appear stacked.
Random multipliers
On any spin, you could see a payout boosted by a random multiplier. Known as the Multiplier feature, the size of that multiplier is shown in the meter above the reels. It can be 2x, 4x, 5x or 10x. If Chronos is feeling benevolent, he can award Super Multipliers of 4x, 6x, 8x or 20x.
Re-spins with multipliers
Land the same stack of symbols on 2 reels on the same spin and you’ll receive a re-spin with those 2 stacks held. Which re-spin feature you get depends on the multiplier that Chronos awards:
- Spins of the Future feature – this is awarded if the 2x multiplier is active (4x with Super Multiplier). This multiplier increases until a winning combination hits.
- Spins of the Past feature - this re-spin triggers if the 10x is active (or 20x Super Multiplier). Here, the multiplier goes down each time until there’s a winner.
- Spins of the Present feature - the re-spins here are triggered at the 3x, 4x or 5x level (6x, 8x or 10x Super Multipliers). This multiplier remains static until you find a winning combination.
Medium variance action
If you’ve come to Chronos Joker expecting Play ’N Go’s usual sky-high variance, you might be a little disappointed. The volatility here is in the medium range which is refreshing! The gameplay is also unusual for a slot from this developer but makes it more appealing in some ways.
Chronos Joker is simple enough but the variety of multipliers and whether they go up or down can take a little getting used to – you can win a cool 1,600 times your stake on each re-spin with the 20x multiplier though. It’s not our favourite Play ’N Go slot but if you want something a little different, then you’ll find it in Chronos Joker. If you want higher variance action, Cash Pump and Wild Rails are recommended.
