Circus of Fortune - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Roll up, roll up to enjoy Circus of Fortune, a 5 reel, 20 payline slot from developers Casino Web Scripts. This bright and brash slot captures all the fun of a night at the circus with free spins, bonus features and more.

There are plenty of special symbols to look out for in this exciting slot including the juggler bonus, rabbit in a hat expanding wild and the fire-eater scatter. Other symbols include circus performers and animals plus 5 royals.

We’ll take a more detailed look at the bonus features later but the gameplay here is rock solid with a good balance between the classic features. Maths and graphics combine to create yet another highly playable slot from this studio.

Experienced players will recognise the way the features play out but playing some free play spins in a risk free environment is always the smart way to get to know the gameplay of a slot and assess the hit rate.

This browser based slot is designed to play on all platforms but we prefer to play such detailed slots on tablet or laptop rather than mobile.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Circuses have been around as a form of mass entertainment since Roman times but they were a bit different back then, incorporating chariot racing and gladiator battles at the Circus Maximus in Rome.

The modern circus was started by an Englishman, Philip Astley, but it was in America where it really took off with huge travelling extravaganzas. The primary colour scheme of red, blue and yellow, harks back to those early days when tents were as eye-catching as possible.

Perhaps the greatest of them all was run by PT Barnum, immortalised in The Greatest Showman. The Circus of Fortune is built along the very same lines with acrobats and jugglers, fire eaters and tightrope walkers, lion tamers and performing seals.

Everything is beautifully captured in crisp and sharp graphics. Every performer animates when they form part of a winning spin and the brass band soundtrack captures the atmosphere perfectly.

RTP & Volatility

This medium-high volatility slot will appeal to most players but the variable RTP of 92.75%-96.95% means you need to be careful where you play.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

There aren’t really any casual player options here with a minimum total bet of 1.00 playing over a single line and a max bet of 20,000 credits.

It’s those huge stakes that mean the top win is 1,250,000x in this slot but you’ll need patience, luck and very deep pockets to maximise the potential here.

5 of a kind payouts are the maximum available in the base game and pay in multipliers as follows:

- Lion pays 500x
- Tightrope walker pays 100x
- Seal pasy 50x
- Elephant pays 25x
- A pays 20x
- K pays 15x
- Q pays 10x
- 10 & J pay 7x

Bonus Features

We promised you a deeper dive into the three ring circus of bonus play and this slot doesn’t disappoint.

Wild Symbol

The first symbol to look out for is the rabbit in the hat wild that performs substitution duty for any paying symbol except the bonus and scatter. During the free spins feature, any wilds expand to fill the reels.

Free Spins

- 3 scatters triggers 3 free spins
- 4 scatters triggers 10 free spins
- 5 scatters triggers 30 free spins

Bonus Game

The juggler is the passport to the carousel bonus game when you land 3 or more on the reels. Pull the lever and watch the carousel spin and win credit prizes until you collect.

Progressive Jackpot

There are three progressive jackpots on offer that trigger at random when the screen fills with scatter symbols.

Gamble Feature

Want to boost your bankroll higher? On any winning spin you can activate the gamble feature where you can double your wins up to 5 times. Get it wrong and you’ll leave with nothing.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

We’ve played a few Casino Web Script slots and we’re generally really impressed by the output from this developer. The integration of graphics, gameplay and bonus features is seamless and this all-action slot just keeps on giving with multiple ways to win.

The heyday of the circus may be over but there are some great circus themed games around like Elk Studio’s Respin Circus slot with free spins, respins and an expanding wilds feature.
