Animal Party is one of the arcade tables in the Joker123 lobby, and despite what older write-ups say it is not a slot at all. It is a round-based wheel game: a countdown runs, you drop chips on an animal and a colour, and a pointer in the middle of a ring of little 3D animals decides who wins.
The betting board
The main screen is a grid of fifteen boxes. Four animals (lion, zebra, penguin and a pink owl) each come in red, green and yellow, and every box shows its own multiplier. On the board in these screenshots the lion pays x31 in red, x40 in green and x35 in yellow. The zebra runs x15 to x20, the penguin x8 to x11 and the owl x5 to x7.
The right-hand column is a separate side bet. Heart and Spade each pay x2, and the clown pays x26. Above the board a history strip shows the last results, each animal with a heart or spade icon over it, so you can see what has landed recently. That strip is a record, not a prediction.
Placing a bet
The bottom bar holds everything. UNIT sets the chip value (1.00 by default), and each tap on a box adds one unit to it. CLEAR removes all chips, UNDO takes back the last one, and DOUBLE doubles what is already on the board. TOTAL PLAY shows your stake for the round and WIN shows the last payout. Press CONFIRM before the big countdown number in the top-left corner runs out, otherwise the round goes ahead without you.
The wheel round
Once betting closes the camera swings to the arena. The pointer turns around the coloured ring and stops on one animal standing on a red, green or yellow tile.
After the spin a WIN RESULT screen lights up the winning box on the board.
The five random bonuses
The info page lists five features that can trigger on any round. You do not buy them; they just happen.
- Party Ball: multiplies the round's win by two, three or four.
- Lucky Wheel: a bonus wheel that adds extra prizes.
- Drumming: gives extra stops, so more than one spot can pay.
- Thunder Lightning: picks one animal, and that animal wins in every colour.
- Color Speaker: stops on a colour, and every animal in that colour wins.
How to play it on a small budget
Low boxes like the owl or the x2 side bets come up often but pay little. The lion boxes pay well but miss far more often. Covering half the board every round feels busy and still loses over time, because each box has the house edge built into it. One or two small bets per round and a fixed stop point works better than chasing a lion that has not shown for a while.

Questions players ask
Is Animal Party a slot?
No. There are no reels. You place chips on an animal and colour, then a pointer spins around a ring of animal figures and the landing spot decides the result.
Why does the lion pay more than the owl?
The multipliers are set against how often each animal and colour lands. A lion box pays more because it comes up less often than an owl box, and the house edge sits in every box either way.
Can I bet on several boxes in one round?
Yes. You can spread chips over as many boxes as you like before the countdown ends, but every box you cover is a separate bet and only the one that lands pays.
