Our editorial rating for slots, computed the same way for every game from the figures on this page: the return (its top and its lowest configuration), the top win, whether that win rewards the game's volatility, the depth of its features, and how much of its data the studio publishes itself. Where a figure is not available, that part is left out rather than guessed. It rates the game, not a casino or the studio, and it is not a prediction of what you will win.

Our reading

NetEnt publishes 96.20% for Judgemental, and SlotCatalog lists the same. SlotCatalog adds that other return configurations exist but does not list them, so we cannot say how far below 96.20% a casino's version might sit; the figure in the game's rules is the one to check.

It is a 5×4 game with a 15,000× maximum published by NetEnt. The 1,024 ways and the high volatility rating come from SlotCatalog alone; NetEnt publishes neither.

The reels are shaped by the Judges, who hold multipliers of 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 6×, 8×, 9×, 10×, 50× or 100× and are joined by re-spins and the Bribe, Applause (random wilds) and Tomato features. Three Bonus symbols award 8 Free Spins; two Bonus symbols and a Super Bonus award 8 Super Free Spins.

NetEnt mentions a feature buy, but none of the sources we read publishes its options or prices. The stake runs from €0.20 to €20 by NetEnt's figures; SlotCatalog lists a maximum of 60, and we use the studio's €20.

The studio's own page is read first. Third-party databases are research sources: we name them, and do not link to them. A studio can supply a game in more than one return configuration, and the casino chooses one. A higher figure at one source and a lower one at another usually means they read different configurations, not that one is wrong.

Questions

What people ask about this game.

The sources we read list 96.20%. The return that applies to you is the one printed in the game rules at your casino.

15,000× the stake.

High. Higher volatility means longer dry runs between wins and bigger swings in a session.

Because a studio can ship several configurations and each casino chooses one. A review that quotes a single figure is quoting one configuration.
