Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Players are treated to an exciting trip to the big top with this game, as Circus Brilliant features a circus theme. In Roman times, circuses were open-air venues staging chariot and horse races, trained animal displays, staged battles, gladiatorial combat and equestrian shows. In 1768, Philip Astley set up a modern amphitheatre in London for displays of horse racing, performing stunts in a ring with the 42-foot diameter that is now the standard for circus rings. By 1770, the shows included what we now consider the classic circus acts, such as jugglers, clowns, tightrope walkers and acrobats, and circuses have been adored by audiences ever since.

The reels are full of colourful symbols and feature some old-fashioned circus acts, such as a performing seal, a balancing elephant and a bear-riding a bike, alongside a clown and a ringmistress.

There are some effective sound effects when the reels spin, with the wins accompanied by some fun animations and upbeat musical effects. Any fans of the Respin Circus online slot will certainly enjoy this circus-themed offering from EGT.

Circus Brilliant features

- Gamble

When players land a win of under 14,000 coins, they are given the opportunity to double it in the fun gamble game. Players must choose whether the spinning card will land on red or black. Choose correctly to double the win and play again; choose incorrectly and the win is lost and play returns to the base game.

- Free spins

Landing five of a kind of any symbol triggers the free spins bonus feature. Five of any one of the card symbols awards five free spins, the animal symbols award 15 free spins for five of a kind, and the clown and ringmistress award a very generous 50 free spins. All wins have a 2x multiplier applied, so this round can be very lucrative; however, free spins cannot be retriggered.

 - Jackpot card bonus

Circus Brilliant has a four-level random jackpot card bonus that can be triggered after any spin. Players pick from 12 playing cards until they find three matching card suits. This ends the bonus and the player wins the corresponding jackpot.

Overall review

Circus Brilliant is a fun and thrilling slot with all the fun of a big top experience. The game is visually appealing, with vivid colours and some fun animations; however, the main draw here is the range of bonus features. The gamble game keeps the play entertaining, while the free spins bonus can provide some great opportunities for wins with the 2x multiplier. The random jackpot card bonus adds an extra level of excitement, so players will definitely want to be part of this spectacular show.
