Harley Quinn waltzed into the DC Universe in 1992, supposed to be a throwaway henchwoman but quickly became the Joker’s main squeeze and Gotham’s poster girl for “I made poor life choices.” She traded her PhD for a jester suit and a lifetime supply of Stockholm syndrome, launching into a dizzying career of crime, chaos, and bad romance.
Over time, she ditched the Joker, found a bestie in Poison Ivy, and turned anti-hero. She is now, without a doubt, one of the most beloved comic book characters ever.
Now, meet Joker Qwin. She’s… well, she’s Harley Quinn in everything but the name to ensure that those pesky copyright lawyers from DC don’t look too closely at the Joker Qwin Hold and Win slot from Felix Gaming.
Are you ready to explore knockoff Gotham?
The Joker Qwin Hold and Win slot’s wild symbol is Joker Qwin herself. She only appears on reel two and when she does, she’ll expand to fill the whole reel. However, the symbol will only expand if it will complete a winning combination by doing so.
The appearance of three or gift scatter symbols will trigger a round of the slot’s hold and win feature. The triggering instant-win gift symbols will then be locked in place and you’ll have three spins to add more gift symbols to the reels. If you manage it, your spins will be reset. If you don’t, your round will be over. All instant-win amounts will then be added together and the total awarded.
If you end a round of the hold-and-win feature with seven boxes, you will be awarded the mini jackpot amount. Eight will award the major jackpot amount and nine will award the grand jackpot amount.
Is the Joker Qwin Hold and Win slot a fun homage or a sloppy knockoff?
The Joker Qwin Hold and Win slot provides a flexible betting range from $0.05 to $50 per spin, accommodating a wide variety of players. With a maximum win capped at $250,000 and a top multiplier of 5,000x, the game offers substantial reward potential for those seeking high payouts. Classified as a high-volatility slot, the Joker Qwin Hold and Win slot is designed to deliver larger, though less frequent, wins. The slot offers an RTP of 96.31%.
I can’t say I have much of an emotional attachment to Harley Quinn. That being said, I am also not a fan of a blatant ripoff with little thought or imagination. It can be done right, though. Slotout from GameBeat is a perfect example. It’s a blatant ripoff of Fallout but it’s handled with humor and humility and creates what feels like an alternate reality rather than a poor imitation of one. The Joker Qwin Hold and Win slot doesn’t achieve that. It’s just not fun to experience. I give it a five out of ten.
If you’re looking for a few Felix Gaming slots that I would recommend to someone, try out Kukers and Amazing Yu.
