A Crimson Masquerade - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Crimson Masquerade is an online video slot from slot designer Maverick Gaming played on a 5x3 reel that generates 25 fixed bet ways paying left to right.
The scatter symbol generates free spins, and during this feature, a random multiplier applies to winnings. This symbol also rewards players with a payout. There is a wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, and this symbol also forms winning lines in its own right.

Alongside the wild and scatter symbols, there are ten other paying symbols. In order of value, they are the Dama, Burrattino, Arlecchino, Dagger, Goblet, Pitcher, Bowl of Fruit, Fan, Glass and Rose.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

Maverick Gaming have taken us to an evening at the Venice Carnival, with characters hiding behind elaborate masks. They are joined on the reels by the kind of accoutrements that one might expect to find carried by the main characters.

The symbols are imaginatively crafted and sit on a translucent screen, through which we can see an impressive staircase by which the characters have entered the ballroom. Continuing the backdrop, we are treated to the sight of the beautiful hallway and candelabra lighting our way.

The theme tune is a haunting orchestral piece setting the scene for an exciting night of discovery.

Crimson Masquerade RTP and Variance 

Crimson Masquerade has an RTP of 96.04%, and we rate it as medium variance. Players do not have to wait too long for winning lines to form, but the features are a little harder to trigger.

The bet range is not too wide, so perhaps it's best to be a little cautious when you start out.

Crimson Masquerade Review 

This designer knows how to produce a game that is simple to play, yet keeps the player engrossed. Crimson Masquerade is no exception, and although there could be more features, the ones that are present make for a great game. Multipliers are all across the reels in free games, and these can really boost your bankroll.
The design is also great and the characters are classic and beautifully designed, taking the player into one of the great events of the Italian calendar, the Venice Carnival. 

There is a decent, above-average RTP, and medium variance means the player can feel their way into the game. This is also helped by a wide betting range, meeting the needs of novices as well as high rollers.
