Joe Exotic

Joe Exotic, also known as ‘The Tiger King’, is an American media personality, a little bit eccentric and controversial, interested in big guns and wild cats. Red Tiger Gaming software provider found him interesting to be the inspiration and the main character of one of their games and powered this unusual but engaging slot. Although it looks a bit overcrowded and too detailed, the “Joe Exotic” online video slot is playable and gives attractive possibilities and awards. 

Theme and Symbols

The inspiration for this online video slot was found in Netflix’s mini-series about Joe Exotic and his world of big guns, wild cats, and country music. After the unusual pick of theme, there are a few objections about graphics and symbols. There are too many details attacking from the screen, photos from the show, and characters probably unknown for those unfamiliar with the TV show. 

Betting Options and Other Functions

“Joe Exotic” online video slot looks complex and a bit bizarre, but it is pretty simple to play. The game features five reels and four rows where symbols form winning combinations landing from left to right on an active payline. There are 20 fixed paylines that pay only the highest win on each of them.

The stake can be placed in the range from 0.20 to 20.00 depending on players’ wishes and possibilities. 

Symbols are divided into low-paying and high-paying groups, which all pay for three, four, and five matching icons on the line. The paytable shows symbols’ multipliers that will form the line wins depending on the number of winning icons and the current stake. 

Low-paying symbols are flasks, caps, belts, and icons of Joe wearing a black cowboy hat. Flasks pay the least – 2, 4, and 10, purple caps give 4, 8, and 12, while belts pay 6, 10, and 20. Joe will pay a bit more – 10, 14, and 30. 

There are five characters that will appear as high-paying symbols in the game. Eric Cowie pays 12, 20, and 40, James Garretson – 14, 24, and 50, Allen Glover – 16, 30, and 60, while Jeff Lowe gives 20, 40, and 100. The highest multipliers come with Joe Exotic, this time wearing a white cap, who will pay 40, 80, and 200. 

Special Features

Three special symbols can appear on reels 1, 3, and 5, and when three of a kind land at once on those reels, different features will be triggered. 

Three Exotic Spins icons award nine free rounds. The Joe Exotic Super Multiplier Wild symbol occupies the middle reel and stays there till the last free spin during the feature. This Wild will substitute for all paying symbols in order to make longer winning combinations. Every time the win happens, the multiplier for the next win increases for one, up to 15x. Five additional spins will be triggered if Exotic Spins icons land on the first and the last reel at once during free rounds. 

When three Vote Joe symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5 at once, the new screen will appear, and players are supposed to choose ballots until one of the candidates gets three of them and awards a prize. James Garretson will pay 5x the stake, Allen Glover – 20x, Jeff Lowe gives 50x, while Joe Exotic brings the biggest prize – 150x the current stake. 

Three Tiger Bounty icons appearing at once on the screen will make Joe give four offers 5x, 15x, 5x, and 50x the stake. Allen makes the decision which one to choose and brings the instant cash prize. 

Still, this is not the end of features in “Joe Exotic”. During the base game and free rounds, dynamite will randomly explode and blast all low-paying icons from the screen. High-paying symbols will cascade to fill the empty positions, significantly improving the chances of getting bigger wins. 

Conclusion

Maybe the “Joe Exotic” is too much for eyes and won’t everyone enjoy the theme, but the game definitely has something to offer. While regular symbols give solid payouts, special ones will trigger free rounds with possibly amazing multipliers or award different cash prizes. 

This is a mobile-friendly online video slot with medium to high volatility.
