NetEnt's own game page caps the base-game max win at 200x the stake. Supermeter mode has its own separate ceiling of 2,000 coins per win. On top of both, Mega Joker carries a Joker-linked progressive jackpot that can only be triggered from base play, not from Supermeter spins.
- Base game: 200x stake maximum
- Supermeter mode: 2,000-coin cap per win
- Progressive jackpot: base-mode only, exact trigger pattern not consistently documented
Where the biggest payouts come from
Mega Joker splits its win potential across two separate systems, and that split is the reason its "big win" story looks different from a modern video slot. The lower 3x3 grid runs the base game with fixed 5-line pays; the upper 3x3 grid, reachable only through Supermeter mode, runs on a different symbol set and a different pay table entirely.
In the base game, the treasure chest is the strongest fixed-line symbol, and three chests on a payline is the largest guaranteed non-mystery win on the lower reels. The Joker itself does not pay a fixed line amount in base play. Instead it triggers a mystery prize, described across reviews as landing anywhere from 20 to 400 coins depending on the active bet, a 20-fold spread for a single symbol.
Supermeter mode is where the largest single-spin numbers appear. Once a base-game win under 2,000 coins is banked into the Supermeter balance, the player can spin an upper reel set that includes sevens, oranges and grapes alongside the familiar fruit symbols. Payouts scale up sharply here, and NetEnt states directly that 2,000 coins is the maximum win obtainable in this mode, whether it comes from three sevens or from a Joker mystery hit at the higher 100- or 200-coin bet steps.
Separate from both of these ceilings sits the progressive jackpot, which several sources tie specifically to Joker symbols landing in base-mode play at maximum coin bet. The exact combination required to trigger it is not consistently described across the sources reviewed, and NetEnt does not publish a jackpot trigger table on its official page, so the precise pattern cannot be confirmed here. What is consistent across sources is that Supermeter spins do not feed or trigger the jackpot, since it sits entirely on the base-mode side of the game.
No source consulted documents an actual paid-out jackpot amount, a specific big-win session, or a real payout screenshot with a verified figure. Anyone looking for a documented record hit on this title will not find one in the material available; what can be stated with confidence is the structure of the three separate win ceilings rather than a history of individual jackpot hits.
Key date
Mega Joker released by NetEnt, launching with the dual base game / Supermeter structure that still defines its win potential today
What drives the size of a win here
- Supermeter mode: a separate 3x3 upper reel set unlocked by banking a base-game win under 2,000 coins at max bet
- Joker mystery symbol: pays a variable prize rather than a fixed line amount, in both base and Supermeter modes
- Progressive jackpot: linked to Joker symbols in base-mode play, not reachable from Supermeter
- 17% hit frequency: a relatively low frequency of winning spins, consistent with the game's high volatility rating
- Fixed 200x stake cap in base game, separate 2,000-coin cap in Supermeter
Terms used on this page

- Progressive jackpot
- A jackpot pool tied to Joker symbols in base-mode play; not accessible from Supermeter spins
- Hit frequency
- The rate at which spins produce any winning result, stated by NetEnt as 17.00% for this title

Frequently asked questions
Is the 2,000-coin Supermeter cap the same as the overall max win?
No. The 2,000-coin figure applies specifically to Supermeter mode. The base game has its own separate 200x stake ceiling, and the progressive jackpot sits outside both of these fixed caps.
Can a Joker mystery hit reach the full 2,000-coin Supermeter cap?
Yes, sources describe Joker mystery prizes in Supermeter reaching up to 2,000 coins at the higher 100- or 200-coin bet steps, matching the mode's documented maximum.
Does spinning in Supermeter mode ever contribute to the progressive jackpot?
No. The progressive jackpot is consistently described as tied to Joker symbols landing during base-mode play at max coin bet; Supermeter spins run on a separate pay structure and do not feed it.
Why does the Joker pay a range instead of a fixed amount?
The Joker functions as a mystery symbol in both modes rather than a standard paying symbol, so its win is drawn from a documented range (20-400 coins in base play, up to 2,000 in Supermeter) rather than one fixed value.
Bottom line
Made for Players who understand coin-based Supermeter mechanics and want a slot with a documented, structured approach to bigger wins rather than a flashy modern bonus round
Not made for Players expecting frequent hits or a free-spin bonus round, since Mega Joker has neither and relies on a comparatively low 17% hit frequency
Mega Joker's biggest wins come from a two-tier structure rather than a single headline jackpot figure: a 200x cap in the base game, a 2,000-coin cap in Supermeter, and a separately triggered progressive jackpot tied to base-mode Joker hits. High volatility and a 17% hit frequency mean these larger outcomes surface less often than on lower-volatility titles.
