Play Circus Train for Free

Developed using software by ThunderSpin, Circus Train is an online slot that contains 3 reels and it boasts unique mechanics that replicate the movement of a real train. Rather than reels spinning vertically like most real money online slots, each reel here consists of separate carriages (which hold each symbol) that are transported horizontally before grinding to a halt and revealing whether you’ve won or not.

Brightly coloured bulbs light up the area where the big top has been pitched with tumultuous sounds blasting out from the surrounding speakers and you’ll be pleased to hear that admission fees are friendly for players of all bankroll levels. With 10 fixed paylines in place, you can take your seat to witness the spectacular acts from a low limit of just 0.10 credits, while those of you who seek a front row seat for the best view can stump up a max bet of 100 credits each time.

Spotting lettered signage might not be as much fun as watching seals juggling, but they are plentiful and offer decent wins to get the fun started with rewards of up to 10x, 25x, 35x and 50x your line bet on offer for lining up J, Q, K and A symbols respectively.

Herds of seals juggling balls on stage sees you secure up to 100x, bears playing their guitars will be music to your ears as you collect up to 200x, witnessing elephants stomping across the stage sees you pocket up to 400x, while a maximum of 1,000x is on offer for spotting tigers with whips in their mouth – where on earth has the ringmaster ended up?!

Choo-choo! Cross your fingers for plenty of trains grinding to a halt on the reels as these represent the Wild symbol and will substitute for all but the Bonus symbols.

Guitar-playing bears and juggling seals are certainly impressive sights, however, it’s the fortune-teller and entertainer who you will be hoping to bump into most frequently in this free Circus Train slot machine as they represent Bonus symbols and are key to making it a night that you’ll never forget.

The fortune-teller gracing you with her presence two or more times during the same spin will result in you stepping through the door of her wooden cart to play one of two card games.

The Poker Bonus will be triggered whenever she appears two times as she deals you five cards and you cross your fingers for them all to match so that you scoop the top prize of 5x your stake, while 4x and 3x is on offer for matching four and three cards respectively. Every time she pops up three times, she will randomly lay out five pairs of playing cards face-down on the table as the Pairs Bonus begins. The aim here is to match the pairs with rewards ranging from 2x to 6x for each pair that you successfully match.

The entertainer, who appears wearing his top hat and looking very dapper indeed, is quite elusive, but the knives will come out anytime he shows up on the reels as you trigger the exciting Knives Bonus.

He arms you with three razor-sharp knives that you’ll have to throw at a colourful spinning wheel. Each of the eight segments on the wheel displays a multiplier value, ranging from 0x to 7x, so you’ll be hoping to hit the highest-paying segments to ensure you leave the big top with plenty of real cash.

A travelling circus never stays in one place for too long, but this one will remain open to players at all online casinos that offer online slots developed by ThunderSpin, and there is a vast number of other casino slot machines with a circus theme that have been released if it puts you in the mood for more flashing lights and acrobatic performances from dizzying heights.

If you fancy witnessing trapeze artists, sword swallowers and talented animals on stage, you should check out Big Top Circus by Parlay Games, while those of you who seek a more authentic experience can’t go wrong with Cirque du Soleil Kooza by Bally as it’s based on the famous kid-friendly show that many of you may have seen in person while paying a visit to Las Vegas.

The innovative approach to the reels spinning combined with the impressive graphics, the funky animations and sound effects, plus the trio of bonus games that have been included is sure to stop you in your tracks as this is a show not to be missed!

There are a couple of frustrating elements, though. An incorrect choice during the Pairs Bonus brings the fun to a rapid halt, meaning you need to be very lucky from the outset, and Circus Train is only available at a limited number of online casinos as not too many are offering releases by ThunderSpin at this moment, however, this is sure to change soon as the quality of their games is simply too good to ignore.
