Play Carnival Bonus for Free

The title sort of hints that this is more an old fashioned rendition rather than a contemporary one, as most modern games would choose bright colours, fluorescent lights and cotton candy. Instead, WorldMatch has used jesters, masked guests, guards and men of medicine to portray their story. The gentleman in all black, sporting a haunting cream mask will reward you the most money, up to £1,500.

While the reels look good they’re by no means the most engaging of images - the icons tend to remain static until a combo is made, and then they spring to life. All of the tiles are housed in the Gothic arches of a bygone age. You won’t find any generic symbols here, for each of them has been transformed into ones specifically for Carnival Bonus.

In between flamboyant and plain, this is a happy medium that will appeal to a lot of gamers, making it a staple slot for those nights in alone or with friends.

As with any night on the town, or in this case a night out at the funfair, you need to make sure you have your wits about you, and are prepared for the full range of delights available. To ensure you have a fun time, make sure to familiarise yourself with the controls.

Everything you need is at the bottom of the screen, meaning that most of the activity is dedicated to the spins of the game rather than an overload of information.

On the left hand side there is a small ‘i’ and cog symbol, with the former offering you tutorials and rules, among the payline combinations. And the settings widget allowing you to mute the sounds and select your payment option.

Further along you then have the bet lines selection, which you can set all the way to 25, followed by your chosen bet level, the big play button, max bet option and finally, the auto play. And there is even a social media button for you to share across your accounts, which is ideal for connected players.

Users can bet between £0.02 and £2.00 on each of the paylines, meaning you can have a maximum of 50 coins if you opt for the largest stake, which in turn will give you a greater chance for big returns.

The colourful mask is your wild here, and it will do the usual and remove all other icons on the screen bar those associated with bonuses and spins. Unusually, there are no scatters in this game.

However, it’s the free spins icon and bonus round tiles that you’ll be keen to get your hands on. Should you uncover three of the pale white masks also lurking, you’ll be given extra spins. Be weary though, as there’s no guarantee you’ll win any, even if you get a winning combo.

The one you’re truly waiting for though is the twinkling silver mask labelled bonus game, get yourself several of these and you’ll be given the chance to set off some fireworks. Five are presented to you, each with a prize of varying value.

This is definitely a slot machine that ticks all the right boxes, and transforms your bland night out into an eclectic mix of amusements. Although it’s easy to follow and get to grips with, the graphics and soundtrack make it a popular WorldMatch title among the online casino community.

Despite the jackpot being a smaller £3,000, there are a lot of ways to up your total thanks to the wild, spins and bonus round.
