FluxPlays verdict
Our verdict
For a bonus buyer, yes. For a base-game spinner, no. Bombs only multiply a spin that wins, and epic bombs multiply the multiplier itself, so the game saves its weight for free spins, where the bigger bombs come more often. The drawback is everything around that round: base wins are small, and bombs landing on them stay small. Our bought round hung on a single revealing bomb.
Who it suits
Play this if…
- Bonus buyers: one card on the buy panel, and the round is where the bigger bombs live
- You like a reveal: a ? bomb hides one of four values until it opens
- Learners: the base game shows every bomb rule in action, just at small stakes
Skip this if…
- Short-session players: bombs cannot rescue a spin with no win, and the low symbols pay little for eight
- Players who want a steady session: only 21 of our base spins paid anything
- You want one round to be like the next: our bought round hung on one bomb

Joker Bombs: Full Review
Every win in Joker Bombs waits above the reels until the spin is over, so bombs that land along the way can still multiply it. Hacksaw Gaming released this funfair-themed 6x5 pay-anywhere game in December 2021, with three kinds of multiplier bomb, a joker scatter for free spins and one bonus buy. Bonus buyers who like a round decided by a single big reveal will get more from it than players who want steady base-game pays.

How Joker Bombs works
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid pay, and winning symbols cascade away so new ones can drop in. All the wins from one spin collect as a pending total above the grid. Only when the cascades stop does the game apply any bomb multiplier and pay out.
| Symbol | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 to 12 | 13 to 14 | 15+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red gem | $2.50 | $4.00 | $5.00 | $10.00 | $20.00 | $200.00 |
| Pink diamond | $2.00 | $3.00 | $4.00 | $6.00 | $12.50 | $150.00 |
| Green square | $1.50 | $2.00 | $3.00 | $4.00 | $10.00 | $100.00 |
| Blue triangle | $1.00 | $1.50 | $2.00 | $3.00 | $7.50 | $50.00 |
| Star | $0.50 | $1.00 | $1.50 | $2.50 | $7.50 | $15.00 |
| Purple flower, heart | $0.20 | $0.50 | $1.00 | $2.00 | $5.00 | $10.00 |
| Teal and orange balloons | $0.10 | $0.20 | $0.75 | $1.50 | $2.50 | $5.00 |
Pays at a $1 bet. The jump at 15 symbols is the paytable's one big step: the red gem pays ten times more for fifteen than for thirteen or fourteen.

Multiplier bombs: what they do and when they pay
Bombs only matter on a spin that already wins. That one condition shapes the whole game, and the three types follow it in different ways:
| Bomb | Values | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 2x, 3x, 4x | Adds its value to the spin's multiplier, if the spin wins |
| Revealing (a ? on it) | 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x | Opens to one value and adds it, if the spin wins |
| Epic (an X on it) | x2, x3, x4, x5, x10 | Multiplies the multiplier already built, so it needs another bomb first |
Normal and revealing bombs add together. Epic bombs are the only ones that compound, which is why they decide the size of a big spin.
Our base game shows both rules at small scale. On spin 28 a $0.50 win met two normal bombs worth 6x between them. The spin paid $3.00. On spin 30 a normal bomb came first and an epic bomb then tripled its value, so a ten-cent win paid 60 cents.

Free spins: how they trigger
Three or more joker scatters give 10 free spins. The rules promise more bombs in the round and a higher chance of the high-value ones, and three more jokers during it add five spins. The same winning-spin condition still applies, so a bomb on a spin with nothing to multiply is wasted.

The round can also be bought for 100x the bet, the only option on the buy panel, at an RTP of 96.46%. There is no FeatureSpins mode in this game.
RTP, volatility and max win
The rules give 96.48% for normal play, a couple of hundredths above the buy. The demo shows only that version, and which one runs is the casino's choice. Neither the rules nor the intro carry a volatility label, and review sites list it as Medium.
Wins top out at 5,000x the bet. With bombs adding up and epic bombs multiplying the total, the route there is one spin that stacks a revealing bomb and an epic bomb on top of a solid cascade, most likely in free spins, where the high-value bombs are more common.

Tested on Hacksaw Gaming's official fun demo (client 1.30.4, game version 1.0.1) on 2 November 2026, with a $5,000 USD demo balance. The game opened at $2 and the bet was set to $1 for every counted round. Round wins are read from the game server's replies, bombs and free spins included. Whole session: 100 base spins ($100.00 staked, $22.15 back) and one 10 Free Spins buy ($100.00 for $146.00), ending at $4,968.15, matching the server balance after every round. The game has no FeatureSpins mode.
Bombs exploded on 11 of our base spins, but always over small wins, so the base game's best spin was the one on spin 28 above. No natural free spins arrived in the 100 base spins.
The bought round shows what the game is built for. Free spin 6 built $5.60 in cascades. A revealing bomb then opened as 25x, for $140.00 in one spin.
Later in our bought round: $144.00 won so far, two spins left, and another revealing bomb on the grid. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
The end of our bought round: $146.00 from ten free spins. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
That one spin made almost the whole round, which is the pattern the bomb rules point to. A 50x revealing bomb, a large epic multiplier and the five-spin retrigger never turned up, so this page covers them from the game's rules. One buy and one base session cannot measure the game's return.
Is Joker Bombs worth playing?
Only if you play it for the free spins. The bomb rules make the base game a slow trickle: bombs need a win to work on, and the five lowest symbols pay half the bet or less for eight of a kind, so even a good bomb has little to multiply. In free spins the same rules meet bigger and more frequent bombs, and one revealing bomb on a decent cascade can carry the round.
Pick Gates of Olympus if you want the same 6x5 pay-anywhere layout with a free spins multiplier total that never resets during the round. Choose Joker Bombs for epic bombs that multiply a spin's multiplier instead of adding to it.
In the demo, buy one round and watch for the question-mark bombs. Whether one opens on a spin with a real cascade under it tells you more about this game than a hundred base spins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the multiplier bombs work in Joker Bombs?+
They only count on a spin that wins. Normal and revealing bombs add their values into one multiplier for the spin, and a revealing bomb, marked with a ?, can open as high as 50x. Epic bombs, marked with an X, then multiply that multiplier. On our spin 30 an epic bomb tripled a normal one.
How do you trigger free spins in Joker Bombs?+
Land three or more joker scatters for 10 free spins, played with more bombs and a better chance of high-value ones. Three more jokers in the round add five spins. Our 100 base spins brought no trigger, so we saw the round through the buy.
Can you buy the bonus in Joker Bombs, and what does it cost?+
Yes. The buy panel offers one option, 10 free spins for 100x the bet, with an RTP of 96.46% against 96.48% in normal play. There are no FeatureSpins modes, so the buy is the only shortcut to the round.
What is the max win in Joker Bombs, and how is it reached?+
The cap is 5,000x the bet. Getting there takes a spin that stacks big bombs on a big cascade: revealing bombs of up to 50x added together, then an epic bomb of up to x10 multiplying the total. Free spins make that likelier, as they bring more of the high-value bombs.
