Fun of the Fair Slot
Roll up, roll up! It’s time to head to the quirky fairground with this vibrant new slot machine from Gamesys. All the famous fairground characters and rides are here to transport players back to their childhoods with the carousel horses, helter skelters and classic fairground strong men battling for position on the reels.
You can enjoy 20 paylines, wild symbols, scatters and 3 bonus games, while the tinkling fairground music plays in the background on every spin.
Exploring the Rides
The fairground is a great theme for a slot game and this creation from Gamesys shows its potential straight away with a range of great symbols and imagery. The background is a starry night with dark blue sky and twinkling stars, while the reels are surrounded by flowers and vines. At the top of the screen are a gentleman character and a lady cuddling a puppy while a cymbal and tambourine also feature. We are not quite sure what these symbols signify but they do add a certain charm to the game!
As far as betting goes, this is a straight-forward affair. There are 20 paylines and you can choose to play as many or as few of these as you prefer by clicking on the ‘bet one’ button. You can also choose the number of coins you want to bet by clicking the plus and minus symbols next to the ‘coin size’ box to select your line bet. This gives you a minimum of €0.01 and a maximum of €10.00 per payline, resulting in a minimum bet per spin of €0.01 and a maximum total bet of €200.
The symbols are excellent and include a purple swirly lollipop, a carousel horse, helter skelter, circus strongman wearing a stripey red leotard and carrying a huge hammer, three trumpets, drum, and yellow-coloured high cards. Whenever you hit a win, lots of trumpets appear at the top of the screen to play a jingle of congratulations!
Fairground Fortunes Revealed
The payouts at the fair are great if you hit the top rewards, while the lower paying symbols are not so generous. The top award is a massive 10,000x your bet, which is won by spinning 5 of the purple lollipops. This lollipop is also the wild symbol in the game, which means it can stand in for any other symbols except the bonus symbol to create more potential winning combinations.
The next symbol to watch out for is the helter skelter, which pays 1,000x your bet for 5 matching symbols. The carousel horse, the trumpets and the drum all pay 500x your bet for 5 matching symbols, while the high cards pay the lower rewards. The Ace pays up to 250x your bet, the King and Queen both pay up to 200x your bet, and the Jack pays up to 150x your bet for 5 matching symbols.
Strongman Scatter
The moustachioed strongman in his red and white striped leotard is the scatter symbol for the game. Spinning 5 of these amusing icons anywhere on the reels pays 100x your total bet, while 4 symbols pays 25x your total bet and 3 symbols pays 5x your total bet.
3 Side Show Bonus Games
If you spin 3 of the wheel bonus symbols, you trigger one of 3 bonus games: the Duck Shoot Bonus, the Punchball Bonus, or the Horse Race Bonus. The wheel will spin to reveal which of the random bonus games you will play.
During the Duck Shoot bonus game, shoot the tin ducks to build up your cash prizes. All your wins are multiplied by the number of paylines you are playing when the bonus game triggered. In the Punchball bonus game you have to help the strongman hit the punchball as hard as he can. The punch sets a wheel spinning with three possible rewards - a good punch will reward you with a hefty multiplier award. The Horse Race bonus game lets you pick a horse and race it by rolling balls into holes! However well you do in the horse race will determine your payout.
All the Fun of the Fair
This colourful slot machine turns a fun trip to the fairground into a potential money spinner if you are lucky enough to hit the right combinations. The 3 bonus games are brilliant in their simplicity and the fact they are randomly awarded means you never know what you will be playing. This mystery element helps keep players on their toes for a more exciting gaming session.
The wild symbols appear regularly, as do the scatters, so it always feels as though something new is happening. The atmosphere, sound effects and mix of traditional fairground and circus elements will keep you entertained while you spin towards the impressive potential payouts from amusing fairground characters and famous rides.
