Grand Circus (Ainsworth) Review

Circuses are fun and there are no clowns to put a dampener on this Big Top. So check out the attractions and see if the friendly circus crew can help you to boost your balance.

This game is free to play in demo mode and we think you should definitely do this to familiarize yourself with the gameplay before you decide to play for real at an online casino.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Well, the soundtrack is a bit of a departure, because it’s exactly that - a soundtrack, not music. There are the sounds of the seaside, shouting kids and an occasional trumpeting from an elephant. It’s an interesting approach, and of course you could easily layer some music over it. Preferably something reasonably minimal and no vocals or it’s all likely to get a bit messy. Much like the floor of a circus. Your tunes might get interrupted if you hit a winning combination, with some alarms and sonic whooshes, but you’re unlikely to mind too much.

The graphics are clear and engaging and use a warm colour palette of golds and reds. The non card icons animate when they’re involved in a winning combination, which is a nice touch.

Grand Circus (Ainsworth) Bonus Features

Wild Substitute

In this game there’s no ambiguity as to the Wild symbol. It’s a big gold and orange square with WILD plastered across the front. It can substitute for any of the game’s other icons apart from the two Scatter symbols. It appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, but not during features or free spins.

Grand Circus Scatter

Similarly, you’ll spot the game’s Scatter symbol coming. It’s a big circus icon with GRAND CIRCUS on it. If you catch between 5 and 15 of them anywhere on the reels during the base game, you’ll get a payout of 80. Five or more will trigger the free games feature.

Lucky Break Scatter

There’s also another Scatter icon, a gold circle with Lucky Break on it. Five or more will trigger the Lucky Break Feature. Three rings will appear and position themselves on the reels.

It always appears with a random prize, a multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x during the main game and free spins or with GRAND, MAJOR, MAXI, MINOR or MINI displayed. If you see Extra Break displayed then you’ll have an extra ring in the next round, plus a free spins bonus.

Our Verdict

Given the low RTP of this game, it actually hits wins and features pretty frequently, so you’ll need to keep an eye on your balance to determine the true state of play.

As far as circus themed slots go, this game relies more on features than narrative, which is always a good thing. With crisp graphics and an interesting soundtrack it’s definitely worth a go even if you’re a seasoned player.
