The sequel to the original Sparky and Shortz slot, Hidden Joules introduces a new alien setting with animated crystals and robotic sidekicks. The charming design pairs well with Play’n GO’s polished animations and immersive soundtrack. Gameplay revolves around cascades and multipliers rather than a traditional free spins round, with plenty of action thanks to special wild powers and Mega Symbols.
To play, select your stake via the scroll bar below the reels. Winning clusters of 5 or more symbols vanish, triggering cascades of new symbols. Larger clusters and multipliers significantly increase payout potential. The paytable (via the “i” button) shows symbol values and feature rules. Autoplay and quick spin are available in most regions but restricted in the UK.
The red alien is the most valuable symbol, paying up to 250x the stake for large clusters. Crystals and other alien symbols form mid- and low-paying clusters. Special wilds introduce unique effects, from removing symbols to creating Mega Symbols, while also contributing to multiplier boosts.
Play’n GO has delivered another engaging slot with Sparky and Shortz Hidden Joules. While it lacks a traditional free spins round, the mix of cascades, multipliers up to 25x, and wild-powered features keeps gameplay dynamic and rewarding. The maximum win is lower than the original, but the polished design and constant action make it a strong addition to the series. Fans of cluster pay slots and feature-heavy games should definitely give it a spin.
