Reel Circus Slots
Welcome to the world of the weird and wonderful with Reel Circus, the online video slot from Spinomenal.
Wonder at the bizarre and incredible sights while you spin the reels for the chance to win instant cash prizes online.
But will you leave the circus feeling like a clown? Here’s a review of Reel Circus from Spinomenal with everything you need to know.
Behold the Sights
Spinomenal are renowned for creating games with outstanding graphics and Reel Circus is certainly no exception.
The welcome screen that greets you offers five different members of the circus, from a striking sapphire-haired woman brandishing a whip, to a bendy acrobat showing off her flexibility and even a knife-wielding warrior whose skin is blue from head to toe.
And as you enter into the full game, you’ll find it full of the traditional people that you might find at the circus, set against the backdrop of what appears to be the Big Top.
On the reels you’ll find the ringmaster, a sad-eyed clown, a bearded lady, a fire-eater and the human cannonball, to name just a few.
The music in the background is simultaneously mysterious and sinister, hinting at the eerie surprises which could be in store for the visitors.
Search Among the Sawdust
In among the sawdust of the ring, there are plenty of prizes up for grabs – but you’ll need to do your research.
To discover what you could win if you can sneak past the all-seeing eye of the ringmaster you’ll need to take a look at the pay table. There’s no obvious button making it less than easy to find but if you click on the small question mark buried at the bottom right of the screen, you’ll be able to navigate there instantly.
Similarly to some other Spinomenal games, the symbols are split up into those deemed to be “Big” and those which are “Low Value”. However, whichever you land on the reels, you’ll still need to match at least three in order to get a prize. The more matches of a symbol you land, the bigger your prize will be.
Unlike some other games, Reel Circus pays out two ways, offering both left to right and right to left wins which is a major plus.
As well as the standard symbols, there are some extras on the reels which could increase your chances of a win.
Look out for the wild symbol, because not only can it help you to make up winning lines more easily, it also pays out a multiplier of between x2 and x10. The symbol itself specifies the win so you’ll need to look closely to see what you’ve won!
There’s also the scatter symbol, represented by the human cannonball. If you spin at least three on an active pay line you’ll win three times your bet as well as 10 free spins.
Cracking the Whip
When it’s time to stop looking around and get started, exit back out of the pay table and into the main game.
However, just before you start playing on the reels, you’ll need to set up your own betting preferences.
Reel Circus is a video slot which is played on 5 reels in a typical 5x3 layout with 15 pay lines available. The value of each line can be set by the player, from the minimum of 0.1 up to the maximum of 10. This provides a degree of flexibility for both low and high betters.
If you’re a bit apprehensive about diving right in, you can opt to try out the fun mode offered by Spinomenal. This allows the game to be played with a virtual stash of cash so there’s no need to risk any of your own money.
The benefit of this is that you can practice the game and become familiar with how it plays before you put any of your own cash at risk. And with full functionality too, you’ll experience all the thrills of betting even if you can’t win any real-life cash!
The fun mode can be played for as long as you want without the need to register, and when you’re ready to play for need, you can just make the switch.
Roll Up, Roll Up!
Reel Circus by Spinomenal is another well-executed game by this developer with superb graphics and a clever circus theme throughout. Unfortunately, although there’s scatter and wild symbols, it’s a bit light on bonuses and chances to win real cash so it may be more suited to less advanced players.
