Carnival Bonanza Slot Review

At the last carnival I attended with my wife and kids, we rode the Ferris wheelšŸŽ” first, which rekindled a long-forgotten fear of heightsšŸ˜Ø, which my kids found amusingšŸ˜’. Then we stood in a line for an hour to ride a roller coasteršŸŽ¢ that was over in less than a minutešŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø.

This roller coaster raises you 3 or so stories into the air and then drops you face first vertically down a dark hole in the ground at 100 miles an houršŸ˜«. I was so terrified that I pulled a muscle in my back from the fierce tensing.

I then walked around, in pain, paying through my teeth for my girl to win a stuffed animal. I would have paid anythingšŸ’ŖšŸ¦µ to avoid the roller coaster. Iā€™d be quite happy to play this kind of game in Carnival Bonanza slot from BGAMING.

Gameplay

Carnival Bonanza slot is set in a medieval fair, with a dragon as the game master. You play on 6 reels that hold 5 symbols each. This is a scatter-pays game, so you need to land 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels to create a win.

Winning symbols are removed from the reels, allowing the remaining symbols to fall to the bottom of the reels and new symbols to cascade in from above.

The high symbols include the dragon, a hobby horse, a toy sword, a horned helmet, and a tankard. Given the symbols are all toys, I suspect the tankard holds a milkshake.

Unfortunately, the game lacks a Wild symbol. However, it does feature a Scatter in the form of a bag of gold coins, which initiates Free Spins when 4 or more land on the reels simultaneously.

The RTPRTP stands for ā€œReturn to Player.ā€ The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a gameā€™s volatility rate.
is 96%
, and the most you can win here is $395,752. You can bank the top prize if you manage to hit the highest possible multiplier of 14,134x while betting the top of the range, which starts at $0.20 and ends at $28.

Features

FREE SPINS

When 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols land on the reels, they award 10, 20, or 30 Free Spins and add a Progress Bar to the right of the reels. During Free Spins, Multiplier symbols, gold coins, are added to the reels and carry random values between 2x and 100x.

Multipliers remain on the reels during symbol cascades; at the end of the spin, the values of all Multiplier symbols on the screen are added together, and the total win for the spin is multiplied by the final value.

Free Spins have levels reflected by the Progress Bar. The level affects an overall Multiplier in Free Spins; the higher the level, the higher the multiplier.

The feature starts at 0, and every win that occurs for a low symbol that hasnā€™t appeared yet in the round increases the level by 1. Every win for a high-paying symbol that hasnā€™t appeared yet increases the level by 2. The highest level is 15.

If you land 3 Scatters during Free Spins, youā€™re awarded 5 additional Free Spins.

BUY BONUS

You can buy your way into Free Spins for 100x your bet. A random number of Scatters will appear on the very next base game spin.

ANTE BET

You can double your chances of triggering Free Spins naturally for an additional 0.25x your bet.

Performance

I tested this game on my Android phone and gaming laptop, and it played perfectly with no issues.

Maximum Win

Bets range from $0.20 to $28. The highest possible multiplier you can get is 14,134x, which can turn the highest bet into the gameā€™s prize limit of $395,752.

Conclusion

Carnival Bonanza slotā€™s design is pretty funny and cute. One of the best Iā€™ve seen. Each high-paying symbol is subtly animated. Itā€™s the small things that make a slot fun to look at.

The sole feature in this game is Free Spins with Multipliers, a generous feature that awards 10 to 30 initial Free Spins, with the option to extend your run by landing Scatters during the feature.

The most impressive part of this game is the insanely high maximum win! It's incredible to win almost $400K from a $28 bet! I really hope there is a lucky player who wins it.

PaylinesPaylines are preset lines that run across the reels, and when you land matching symbols on them, that will result in a payout. The more paylines, the more ways you can win, but also the higher your bet per spin.: Scatter PaysWhen a certain number of Scatters land, that can result in a payout thatā€™s independent of a gameā€™s paylines.
Volatility RateSlot games can have low, medium, high, or extremely high volatility rates (or a combination thereof).

The less volatile the game, the more often it should pay out, but the lower the amount, the less the payout, as this is in keeping with the risk youā€™re taking. Volatility rate should be considered in conjunction with a gameā€™s RTP.
