The Showman Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

 
If you aren’t familiar with Leander free slots, the crisp visuals, high energy, and engaging nature of this traditional variety entertainment show online game will not fail to please. 

Across five, reels packed with colourful graphics The Showman offers players the chance to grab rewards such as free spins and expanding wilds. With its medium volatility and return to player rate of 96.05%, this is more of a steady and stable slot than a crazy, fast-paced adventure - an approach that brings its own charm to the table.

Graphics & Soundtrack 

Although the huge reels dominate the screen, they do it in style. Sitting against a theatre stage backdrop, they are edged by rich purple velvet curtains with fetching gold tasselled fringes. To the side, the showman stands proud, keen to express both his pride and his leading role in the extravaganza his team will perform for the crowds.

All symbols featured are beautifully drawn and right on topic. Besides the showman, who is the wild and subs for all the main images, you can expect to see images like a familiar white rabbit and top hat combo, playing cards, handcuffs for escape artists, and the knife thrower’s female assistant. The standard J, Q, K and A card symbols make up the icons with the least value.

How’s the sound?

We enjoyed the fast-paced, jazz-like background sounds. It's the perfect choice for a high-energy online slot like this. Listen out for the occasional surprise sound effect, like the slightly sinister laughter of the suited showman. 

The Showman RTP and Variance

The Showman has a return to player (RTP) rate of 96.05%, which is slightly better than average. This combines with a medium variance rate to deliver a slot experience that delivers enough winning opportunities to fill the ‘average’ expectation level.

How to Play The Showman

1. A good place to start is by setting up the game to suit your preferences. Plus and minus buttons for you to choose a bet size per spin are sitting on the right side of the reels.
2. Next, look for the three lines in a small circle, which clicks through to information on paytables, paylines, bonus details and so on. It’s always good to get familiar with the way a slot works.
3. You’re almost ready to play, so choose between the regular PLAY icon in a larger-sized circle on the right side, or to take it easy, you can go for the autoplay symbol sitting right above the PLAY button.
4. The reels switch for the bonus spin games, with the glamorous assistant taking the place of the showman. This time, some buttons display useful details on things like your bonus spin winnings.

Now you’re ready to take your seat for the show and enjoy the great range of talented performers who make an appearance!

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

You don’t need to commit to large bet-per-spin stakes when playing The Showman as the bet sizes start at just 0.15 credits per spin, up to a maximum of 90 credits.

Paytable rewards

All symbols pay out for three, four or five matches generated in one spin, but unlike many slots on the market, you won’t see huge differences between each win level. Here we take a quick look at what you can expect from each icon when five pop up together.

For five matches:

The showman [ringmaster] pays 125.00 credits

The white rabbit in a hat pays 50 credits

The guillotine pays 15 credits

The playing cards pay 10 credits

The handcuffs pay 7.50 credits

The wand and the flowers pay 5 credits

The A, K, Q, & J symbols pay 1.25 to 3.75 credits

The Showman Bonus Features 

Although there aren’t lots of fancy bonus options, the base game does offer a couple of possibilities. These are:

Extra wilds 

These are triggered randomly. Expect additional wilds to appear on the reels.

Magic reels 

This expanding wild feature has the symbols on reel 1 duplicate to cover at least one more reel.

Free Spins 

Look out for the knife-throwing young woman who represents the bonus symbol. If three of her images pop up together anywhere across reels 1 to 3, you get the chance to win some free spins. Simply choose two mystery symbols to reveal a win of 8 to 20 free spins, along with a multiplier of between 2x and 5x to boost each win. Any BONUS symbols that show up during this feature add an extra free turn to the total.

The Showman Review 

We think The Showman slot offers a good mix of opportunity and sheer fun, with a strong theme and top-class graphics. It’s got enough going on to avoid getting boring, but it's still incredibly user-friendly. So ‘roll up, roll up’ and take a seat as the show is about to go on.

If The Showman puts you in the mood for more nostalgic entertainment-type games, give Golden Ticket slot demo a try. It’s a larger-than-life tribute to an old-style circus starring characters like clowns and strongmen. It boasts some cool surprises, including a free spin shooting range feature.
