Mustachioed strongmen, top hatted magicians and fortune tellers – clearly we are at the circus and not just any old circus. This is turn of the twentieth century entertainment where it was perfectly okay to stare at the bearded lady and very little was off limits. Microgaming’s Carnival Royale online slot celebrates that era of slightly dodgy morals.
Carnival Royale plays out over five reels and the payline structure means there’s 243 ways to win; essentially if you can land matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left hand side then you’re a winner.
There are some nicely-designed standard playing card icons and then we have some circus-related symbols including a female clown, the strongman, the magician and a beautiful woman.
The wild symbol is represented by a dressed-up monkey and there are two bonus symbols – balloons and an opaque fortune teller which activate the main features.
Bonus Features
Balloon Burst Game
To trigger this feature you will need to land three of the balloon scatter symbols on reels three, four and five and you will get to play a game where you must pop balloons with each one worth a cash prize.
Just continue clicking until you hit the balloon that reveals the ‘Collect’ message; that’s game over and your prize will be totalled.
Carnival Attraction Free Spins
The fortune teller symbol is the scatter which you need to land on reels one, two and three to trigger this feature. You will then get to choose between the following three options:
- Hugo The Strong – 5 free spins + 10x multiplier
- Madame Leora – 10 free spins + 5x multiplier
- Bottle Toss – 15 free spins + 3x multiplier
Make your choice, start the spins and away you go; the spins can be re-triggered by landing more scatters and it’s also possible to trigger the Balloon Burst feature from here.
Carnival Royale Online Slot Playing Tips
We tend to go straight down the middle in the free spins choice and opt for the 10 with a 5x multiplier; the choice is yours though.
Verdict
This is a decent enough slot with an interesting theme and some appropriately circusy sound effects. Two distinctive bonus features add to the fun so it’s worth checking out.
