5-Reel Circus

5-Reel Circus Slot Review

This video slot surpasses its title from the off! From the simple opening intro clip reminiscent of a compere's announcement at an actual circus, you will be mesmerised into the energy behind this slot machine. The interface is decorated with all the embellishments you'd normally find associated with a travelling troupe. The clapping audience adds to the circus effect, as does the wonderful soundtrack of a repetitious melody played on some type of music box.

Decide your bet and spin the reels to some stereotypical sounds that carefully merge the circus' atmosphere to a wonderful slot-machine. The reel animations are smooth as are the special icons that move when you win prizes from their combinations. The two main icons you will be aiming for in this game are the Big Top Clowns icon and the Tiger symbol which are the scatter and wild symbols respectively. Between these two icons you can win the best prizes and trigger the free-spins. Special mention has to be given to some of the outrageous icons in this slot, most notably the Bearded Lady and the flexible circus artist.

This video slot isn't the most liberal with its prizes, nor is it the most thorough with its game devices. However though 5 Reel Circus has some shortcomings, the package itself of wonderful animations and designs, gripping sounds and reasonable prizes make it a worthwhile choice for any player.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol in this slot is a tiger. Reveal 2, 3, 4 or 5 across any active payline and you will drop line prizes of 10, 200, 2,000 or 7,500 times the line bet respectively. The tiger symbol can also substitute itself for all other icons (except the scatter) to help give you more chances of dropping a winning combination.

Scatter Symbol

The scatter symbol is the Big Top Clowns icon, (so called because two clowns are standing outside the Big Top-main show-tent). Reveal 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these icons scatters across the reels in any position from a spin and you will win a prize of your total staked bet from that spin multiplied by 1, 1, 3 or 100 times respectively. Show three or more from a spin and you will also win some free-spins.

Free Spins

Show three or more of the scatter icons from a spin and the result is a wonderful scatter prize and 10 free spins. Not only can free-spins be re-triggered from free-turns, but every prize you win from them will automatically be tripled! Those are the kind of free-spins we want to be having!
