Bigtop Circus Slots
Daytrips to the circus don’t seem to be ‘the done thing’ anymore, at one time of the day everyone would take their kids to see the acts, whooping and cheering as they watched. But now we’ve abandoned that in place of other activities, like going to the zoo or visiting a sealife centre. Those two options are good, but they’re not the circus.
MultiSlot is no stranger to churning out titles that are novelty themed and packed with quirkiness, so it should surprise no one that they’ve decided to bring the allure of the circus back to us. Big Top Circus is 5-reels of golden entertainment, all inside the yellow and red striped dome that is the big top tent.
Everyone knows that this is the place to be if you want to see the most talented of performers – along these 25 winlines users will see trapeze acts, juggling unicycling clowns (tad creepy), and elephants driving tiny cars. Each of the shows you manage to watch will gift you a prize that goes beyond a mere grin of approval, here you get money, potentially lots of it.
Roll up, Roll up!
Paying to see such a selection of shows won’t come cheap, oh wait, it does as we’re playing with MultiSlot, the ringmasters of affordable slot machines. They’ve kindly split their entry fees into bite size sections, allowing us to tailor make our experience as we go.
To begin with a lot of us will want to check out the advert that deals with the value of the coins we use, and so we go to the left hand side of the screen; with bright teal font and golden borders, it’s not easy to miss. Tap it and you’ll see the total change before your eyes, this can be done a total of four times before the whole thing loops around again; the max you can pay is 1 credit per line.
Then it’s onto the various ticket stubs, the Bet one deals with how many of the coins you want to pay with, again allowing you to click through and choose at a leisurely pace – you won’t miss out on a place at the show. All players can select between 1 and 5 coins, which can take their main bet up to 125 credits, of course that figure depends on other factors.
Next up there’s the Lines stub, the one that will alter the paylines. By reducing them you have less of a bet to worry about, but you also have less potential of winning decent amounts of money. It’s a double edged sword and so we leave the decision in your hands, yours alone to make.
A Burst of Helium
Moving onto the grid itself, there are many eye catching images to watch, but the clown and balloons of the bonus tile grip us from the start. We all know that clowns are a common phobia, but we promise you that this clown looks completely harmless, making it more manageable to interact with.
To avoid giving you more nightmares, let’s just assume you’ve got past having to land over three of the symbols and are now at the bonus level: before you is a clown holding a large selection of balloons. What do you do? What you don’t do is freak out about the clown being there, silently look past him to the rewards he carries – those balloons each have a cash prize inside. So use your virtual needle to pop the one of your choice, during its explosion it will rain down confetti and reveal the total.
What a Turn Out
Big Top Circus has impressed us so far, but what about the rest of the symbols and what they do? Well the wild just came along and solidified how special this title is, for there’s a 20,000 credits jackpot to be won. This amount isn’t reduced the smaller your stake and so we have found an accessible game with huge piles of money.
The big top wild isn’t the only icon feeling generous, the rest of the show and its members can rain down the cash with sums of between 300 and 2,000 coins, assuming you keep finding matches of five. If you don’t make that high a match, the payouts will drop down dramatically.
