| 40 Joker Roll is a dice-themed slot from EGT Digital, released in July 2026 and played on a 5x4 grid with 40 lines that pay in both directions. That last detail is the one that separates it from the rest of the Roll family: combinations count from the leftmost reel and from the rightmost, so a symbol landing on reel five is as useful as one landing on reel one. The rest is the studio's established dice conceit – a paytable of coloured casino dice instead of fruit – set in a deep red cabinet with a dark blue reel frame, and topped by the four-tier progressive strip that EGT Digital fits across its catalogue. Paying Both WaysForty lines that resolve in two directions is effectively eighty chances per spin, and it changes how the grid reads. On a conventional left-to-right slot, a dead first reel kills the entire spin before it starts; here it does not, because the same forty lines are simultaneously being evaluated from the other end. What it does not do is make the game generous. EGT Digital has priced the paytable to account for the extra direction, and the reported hit frequency of 12% – roughly one paying spin in eight – is actually the lowest of any Roll title in this batch despite the doubled evaluation. The bothway mechanic buys variety in where wins come from rather than in how often they arrive. 40 Joker Roll Symbols And PaytableAt a bet of 10, the red seven on the white die leads at 250 for five, 125 for four and 25 for three. The flame die follows at 125, 50 and 12.50. Then the coloured dice, in two flat tiers: blue and green both return 50 for five, 12.50 for four and 5 for three, while purple and yellow pay 37.50, 7.50 and 2.50. Look at the shape of the seven's payline: 250 for five and 125 for four is a ratio of two to one, where most slots drop fivefold or more between those steps. That flatness is unusual and it is a direct consequence of paying both ways – four-symbol combinations land often enough from either direction that they cannot be priced as near-misses. The practical effect is that four of a kind is worth having here in a way it rarely is elsewhere. The screenshots show typical results of 2.59, 15.00 and 22.50 on a bet of 10, with the occasional 100.00 when the reels cooperate. Volatility is rated medium, which is fair for the base game taken alone. The Joker Respin WildThe Joker is the wild and the centrepiece of the game. He arrives in tall stacks on a single reel, and when a full column of him lands the screen freezes and a large RESPIN banner drops across the grid. The mechanic is straightforward and effective: the joker column is held in place while the other four reels spin again. The screenshots catch the sequence at both ends – the RESPIN banner over a stack of jesters on the fourth reel, and then a later grid where jokers have taken two full columns, reels three and four, with lines resolving through both for 100.00. On a bothway game a held wild column is worth substantially more than it would be on a standard slot, because it feeds combinations forming from either side. A joker holding the fourth reel supports left-to-right lines reaching across from reel one and right-to-left lines starting on reel five, simultaneously. That is the game's best moment, and it arrives often enough to be the thing you play for. The Clover Chance JackpotFour progressive jackpots run along the top of the screen – GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR and MINI – shared across EGT Digital's Clover Chance network rather than local to this title. The screenshots show the Grand above 3,470 and the Mini around 52. The round triggers at random on any spin and at any stake, and it is a pick game rather than a spin round: a screen of gold chests, each concealing a coloured ball tied to one of the four tiers, with three of a colour claiming that jackpot. There is nothing to collect and nothing to trigger deliberately – it simply happens, which makes it a genuinely equal opportunity across stake levels. As across the whole network, the low tiers are what most rounds deliver. The Grand is the reason the meter exists rather than the outcome to expect. GambleWins can be taken to the red-or-black card gamble, doubling on a correct call and losing everything on a wrong one. The face-down card carries the EGT Digital logo, the history of previous calls runs along the top of the panel, and the number of remaining attempts is displayed beneath the prompt. Given a base game whose ordinary results sit in the 15–30 range on a stake of 10, the gamble is the fastest route to something larger. It is optional, it is a coin flip, and the attempt limit stops it running away. Forty Lines Or A HundredEGT Digital ships the Joker Roll idea in two sizes, and the difference between them is larger than the line count suggests. The hundred-line version prices five sevens at 100 on a bet of 10; this one prices the same combination at 250, and the whole paytable scales with it. Both carry the same 1,000x ceiling, though this version returns 96.10% against the hundred-line game’s 96.35%. The other difference is directional. Only this version evaluates lines both ways, which means the held joker column during a respin is working on twice as many combinations as it would on the hundred-line game. For a feature that is the entire point of the title, that is not a minor distinction. Stakes And The NumbersBets run from 0.4 to 40 per spin – a narrow band by EGT Digital standards, and one that reflects the doubled line evaluation. The demo offers presets of 8.80, 9.60, 10, 10.80 and 12, which are unusually granular steps. The published RTP is 96.10%, noticeably below the industry midpoint and the lowest figure in this batch, and the maximum win is 1,000x the stake. That is a modest ceiling and it is worth being clear about where it comes from: five sevens is 25x, so almost the entire distance to 1,000x is covered by stacked jokers with respins, or by the jackpot round. PresentationDeep red background, dark blue reel frame, dice rendered with a hard gloss, and a jester drawn as a proper card-deck joker with a red and blue cap. The RESPIN banner is the one piece of showmanship in the whole game and it is well judged – large, brief, and immediately followed by something happening rather than by an animation. There is a turbo toggle and a fast-play hold on the right rail, both of which suit a game where the interesting moments are separated by a lot of ordinary spins. Who It Is For40 Joker Roll is the pick of the Roll family for players who want a base game with an actual feature in it. The stacked joker respin is a real mechanic rather than a cosmetic effect, the bothway evaluation makes four-symbol combinations genuinely valuable, and the two together produce spins that build rather than simply resolve. Against that, the numbers are ordinary. A 96.10% return and a 1,000x ceiling are both well below what Sugar Duke 1000 or Queen Amber offer, the 12% hit rate means long quiet stretches, and there are still no free spins, no multiplier and no bonus buy. If you want the Roll series with something to watch, this is the one; if you want the Roll series to pay well, none of them really do. You can try this game on Casino007 Online Casino.
