Cabaret (MGA) Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Cabaret Game Theme & Story

The slot opens with a brief walk through the streets of Paris as you enter the Cabaret. Lights flash and the curtains open to reveal the stage and the many spectators who have come to watch the show. The stands circle around the stage and the performers look directly at you as they stand at either side of the reels.

Those who sit in the stands are all donning black coats and hats which tells players that this is not just a simple dance-themed slot. Instead, it has obvious links to the 1972 film of the same name, which is set in Nazi Germany, with many of the audience members looking a little too official for it to be just a coincidence. The main girl also bears a striking resemblance to Liza Minnelli’s character of Sally Bowles, with her chiselled black bob, bowler hat and similar outfit.

Cabaret Graphics and Soundtrack

The graphics in Cabaret have been done particularly well, with lots of details and small movements which help to make it feel more interactive. The stage is quite literally set with two female entertainers standing at either side of the reels, looking ready to jump into a performance. In fact, whenever you land a win, they raise their legs and engage in the can-can to help you celebrate.

The reels have been given a golden border which matches the balconies and details shown in front of the seats. Here, the lights shine down on the stars and the audience looks on, ready to be entertained.

On the reels are your traditional playing card symbols, which have been given a Cabaret makeover. There are also tickets, outfits and fancy headdresses which fit in with the theme perfectly.

The soundtrack has the traditional clicks and bursts of sound whenever the reels land, but when you manage to find a win, a brief song is played as the girls begin dancing. You can also hear the girls softly saying ‘oooh’, making kissing sounds and whistling to help spur you on.

How to Play Cabaret

The playing options sit at the bottom of the screen with the play button appearing front and centre. You will find your main bet options and the information icon, where you can see the paytable and learn more about the rules and features of the game. There is also a Max Bet option where you can choose the highest stake without manually adjusting the bet and credit value.

The orange option is Autoplay where you can select between 5 and 100 automatic spins of the reels. This is perfect for those who are playing the demo version and are looking to find out more about the general gameplay before going on to play for real. This is a common feature in most demo slots and one which allows you to sit back, relax and take in what the slot has to offer.

Cabaret Bet and Win Sizes

Cabaret gives players two different options when choosing their bet. The first is the credit value where you can select between 0.01 and 0.20. Then you can choose how many credits you want to bet with, with between 1 and 5 available. This means that you can play with a minimum of 25 or go up to a maximum bet of 125 per spin.

The amount that the matching symbols pay out all depends on how much you have placed at stake. Just as an example, the following figures are based on the minimum bet of 25.

The playing cards are, unsurprisingly, the lowest payers on the reels, with the 9, 10 and J paying 3, 5 and 15 when you land 3, 4 and 5 of a kind. The Q, K and A pay out a little more, whilst the picture symbols increase the prize even more. The highest paying symbol is the can-can legs which are worth 50, 250 and 1,000 when you land 3, 4 and 5 of them against a minimum 25 bet. Change your bet to the maximum and this same symbol will offer 250, 1,250 and 5,000 instead.

Cabaret Bonus Features

Whilst the graphics and general gameplay are pretty great, the features do lack a little. There are no free spins, respins or bonuses, and instead, this game relies on two basic features to keep it entertaining.

The heart cushion is the wild, which will substitute for all symbols to help you create a winning combination.

The only other feature is Double or Nothing, which is classed loosely as a feature. Many slots include a gamble option when you land a win, and the Double or Nothing feature is just this. The only difference is rather than choosing the next playing card colour to be turned over, you are taken to a roulette wheel where you spin the wheel for your chance to win double your winnings or leave with nothing.

It’s definitely not a feature-packed slot, but the way that MGA have transformed the gamble to make it relate more to the theme is worth mentioning. There is quite a collection of MGA online slots, so if you do enjoy the gameplay, it is worth checking them out to see the other features they offer.

Cabaret RTP and Volatility

Cabaret has a Return to Player percentage of 86.66% and has been categorised as a high volatility slot.
