Play Carousel for Free

Firstly, the 5 reels are different to what you may have come across before. With Carousel, reel 1 is three symbols high, reel 2 is 4 symbols high, reel three is 5 symbols high, reel four is 4 symbols high and reel five is 3 symbols high – this gives you a 3, 4, 5, 4, 3 layout. Bets can be placed from as little as 0.20 or as much as 30.00. Use the control panel beneath the reels to set your bet and to use the autoplay facility.

If you’ve visited a funfair, you will recognise the design that jumps from the screen. All around the reels you will find popular attractions such as the spinning top, the house of mirrors and then – the main attraction the Carousel reels. The clown stands guard to the right of the reels with a hat that produces some magical butterflies, but all around you will find bright lights and a fun atmosphere.

Symbols on the reels are a carousel style lion, horse, reindeer and elephant, bucket of popcorn, carousel, lollipops, candyfloss, diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs plus the clown.

There is a top prize of 90,000 up for grabs and you don’t have to bet hundreds to get a chance of winning that. Minimum bets are 0.20 and return a non-progressive jackpot of 600.00 but increase your bets to the max of just 30.00 and you can win a staggering 90,000.

Keep an eye out for the carousel symbol because five of a kind on your payline will award a 1,500 cash prize. The popcorn bucket awards the second highest sum of 750.000.

The clown is your wild and he can make an appearance on any of the reels during the base game, to help form winning paylines.

The carousel symbol is the bonus symbol and when at least three fall on the reels, you will be awarded 5 free spins initially. During your free spins, the clown wild will be exclusively placed on reel 3 – this is to help boost winning potential. Bonus spins can be re-triggered by spinning in more of the carousel symbols.

Everyone loves a gamble and that’s what you get with the Carousel slot machine – an additional chance to gamble. Any win that you find on the reels during the base game will offer you the chance to gamble. Press collect beneath the reels to take your original win or click the highlighted gamble button next to it. The soundtrack and screen will change and there will be a flashing card face down on the screen. Top right shows you the five previous outcomes along with the amount you could win. Even at this stage you can take your original line win if you decide you don’t want to gamble. Now, guess the colour of the suit correctly and you’ll double your cash, but like any 50/50 game of chance, an incorrect guess will confiscate your winnings.

When we first loaded the game, the very first thing that impressed us was the design. Carousel looks exactly like a real-life funfair – there’s none of this cartoon or animated graphics on display. Carousel slot game offers a rich design and a superb soundtrack to accompany the game. Whether you’ve visited a funfair or not, you will recognise the tune that’s being played – a typical funfair soundtrack will emerge from the reels. The music plays continually but the spinning of the reels adds new sounds and symbols. We found Carousel to be a medium variance slot machine with lots of wins on the reels.
