Play Circus Evolution for Free

You don't really get travelling circuses like in the good old days. Perhaps it is down to a shortage in clowns, or a lack of people crazy enough to fight a lion with nothing more than a big string, or maybe it is simply down to the fact that people can get their fill of bizarre entertainment by watching the latest reality TV show? Whichever reason for the decline of the circus, punters can get a glimpse of the magic by playing this new circus-themed slot machine from WorldMatch software.

The game is designed with a simple yet modern aesthetic, using stylised two dimensional graphics to portray a series of circus performers, including muscle men, lion tamers, dancing girls and the ring master himself. Punters will also come across a vicious tiger and a romping elephant as they play the game. Admittedly, there are more spectacular circus slots online, some of which go all out with the 3D graphics and animations such as Golden Ticket by Play'n Go.

This WorldMatch slot machine won't fail to entertain thanks the low volatility spinning gameplay. This means that players of the game won't have to hang about for too long before a few small winning formations begin to appear on 20 paylines of the slot machine. This does make for some relatively small wins, however, with a range of line bet multiplier prizes that begin at 3x for three matching 10 or J icons in a row. Punters can hope to find some bigger returns by finding a row of five ringmaster characters to return 1,000x the value of the bet per line.

There are 6 different betting levels available in this game, with punters able to choose line bets that range from 0.05 credits to 2.00 credits. So, with all 20 paylines in play, the minimum total bet will be a very reasonable 1.00 credits while the maximum possible stake in Circus Evolution is 40.00 credits. Admittedly, this isn't going to have any high rollers falling head over heels, but it will make for a top base game jackpot worth 2,000 coins.

The circus is all about thrills and surprises, and this slot machine sure has a few of those to give to the punters. To begin with, the game's wild clown figure acts as a substitute for all normal paying icons to help complete line wins during the base game. That wild symbol is also active during the slot machine's round of free spins, 10 of which are triggered whenever spinners manage to find three “Free Spin” tickets scattered on the reels, regardless of payline position. During these free games, all wins will be doubled by a x2 multiplier.

This online video slot has one last trick to reveal, and players will be able to find out what it is by finding three “Bonus” big top icons scattered on the reels. This will activate a bonus side game in which punters must throw darts at a spinning board covered in balloon. Each balloon that is hit has the potential to award more bonus wins. The bonus game ends whenever the designated number of throws have been used up.

Circus Evolution promises to take spinners back to the days when entertainment was found in a big tent in the middle of a field. Forget television and games consoles, this slot machine by WorldMatch software has the potential to entertain its players with a series of free spins and an exciting interactive bonus side game.

Admittedly, however, the low volatility slot won't award the biggest wins in the business and the maximum total bet of 40 credits is somewhat small compared to other slots on the internet. That doesn't mean that the game won't wow with its colourful aspect and appealing gameplay.
