Count Jokula Slot Overview
Count Jokula is a 3-reel, 3-row slot from Play'n GO running on just 5 paylines. Part of their long-running Joker Series, this one swaps the usual bright jester for a vampire-themed mashup; think Count Dracula cosplaying as a joker. Medium volatility, rated 6 out of 10 by the provider. RTP tops out at 96.22% but operators can configure it lower, so always check before committing real money.
I approached this as a potential quick-session bonus hunter slot. Bet range sits at 0.05 to 100 per spin, which accommodates high rollers in theory. The 3x3 grid keeps everything compact, and wins require three-of-a-kind across 5 fixed paylines. Not much room to breathe on a layout this tight.
Symbols and Paytable
Low pays are classic fruit; cherries, lemons, grapes and plums. A line of three awards between 0.4x and 1x your stake. High pays include chalices, daggers and bats, landing between 1.4x and 4x for a three-of-a-kind line. None of these figures excite me. For a slot with medium volatility, the base game symbol values are thin.
Joker Wild is the only symbol worth watching. Three of them pay 50x the bet, and the Wild substitutes for everything. Getting that full Wild line during respins with a healthy multiplier active is where the real money lives. Without it, the paytable feels anaemic.

Bonus Features Breakdown
Shapeshifter activates on non-winning spins when the Bat symbol appears. If converting that Bat into a Joker Wild would create a win, the transformation happens automatically. Essentially a dead spin recovery mechanic. Handy, but you have zero control over it, and the resulting wins are typically modest since it relies on whatever else landed alongside.
Respins of Evil is the main event. When a Joker Wild on the middle reel forms part of a win, a respin sequence starts. The Wild goes sticky, and a multiplier trail unlocks above the reels: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x, 10x, 15x, then 20x max. Each consecutive win grants another respin and bumps the multiplier. New Wilds landing on the middle reel also become sticky for the duration.
Cap is 25 consecutive respins before the sequence force-ends. At 20x, the multiplier holds for all remaining wins in the chain. On paper, this is where the 8,350x ceiling lives. In practice, stringing enough wins together at elevated multipliers requires extraordinary luck. No bonus buy option exists, so you cannot force entry.

Volatility, RTP and Max Win
Default RTP is 96.22%, but Play'n GO offers four lower configurations down to 84.23%. For serious players, anything below 94% is a hard pass. Always verify your operator's setting. Medium volatility means fewer extended dry streaks compared to high-vol titles, but the trade-off is a flatter return curve with smaller peaks.
Max win is listed at 8,350x in one source, 4,120x in another, and 1,400x in a third. I lean towards 8,350x based on the most detailed mechanical breakdown, which accounts for a full 25-respin chain at 20x multiplier with stacked Wilds. Regardless, the probability sits below 1 in 100 million. The ceiling is technically generous for a 3x3 grid, but the odds make it largely theoretical. For bankroll planning, expect most sessions to revolve around the low multiplier respin outcomes.
