Cirque Du Fous - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Your visit to this circus will be unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Instead of marvelling at the spectacles before you, take control as you hit the buttons that start the circus rolling.

Don’t be worried if you’re scared of clowns...these clowns are aquatic and they have cash for you to win. An octopus joins in the fun as a juggler, which makes perfect sense but also seems a bit like cheating? Anyway, he’s the highest payout after the Wild so you’ll be pleased to see him make an appearance.

Developer Betixon is creating a fun suite of well designed, playable games that are hard to resist. They’re a young company, but the founders are veterans of the gaming industry.

This game is free to play in demo mode and we recommend this to familiarise yourself before you decide to play for real at an online casino.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The circus and traditional slot machines have a lot in common, both being entertainment fixtures for seaside visitors and evoking many of the same nostalgic memories of childhood. This is evident in the overall design of Cirque Du Fous, which in some ways looks like a traditional slot machine.

Its elaborately illuminated background features a festive red, gold and green palette plus Victorian style bulb lighting against candy canes and ornate decorations. The graphics are very high quality, perhaps a little too detailed given the oddity of some of the characters. They’ve taken the freak show element of circus life quite literally. A juggling octopus? Ringmaster with gills? A one eyed fish holding a rabbit ( couldn’t happen in real life)?. A trumpet playing amphibian dressed as a clown? You’ll have to show your friends or they won’t believe you.

If you haven’t visited an actual circus, or watched a kids TV show where someone gets a custard pie thrown in their face, the soundtrack may be....bemusing. But trust us, this is perfectly in keeping with the tradition of the circus and slapstick humour in general.

Cirque Du Fous RTP & Volatility

The RTP of Cirque Du Fous is 89.3%. Which isn’t great, but not a complete disaster.

It’s a very low volatility online slot. So you won’t be short on wins, they just won’t be enough to retire on.

Cirque Du Fous Bonus Features

Wilds

The Wild symbols can stand in for anything else apart from the Scatter symbols. These can land anywhere, no need to hit an active payline. Three or more will give you 10 free spins plus a multiplier of x2.

Multiplier Accumulator

Bizarrely, but in a good way, you don’t actually have to be winning to rack up multipliers that will kick in once your luck changes. After two losses you’ll receive x2, up to a possible x16.

Our Verdict

As far as free online slots go, it’s not a bad effort. The circus theme is always polarising, some love it when the Big Top rolls into their town and it leaves others running for the hills. Usually the ones who are scared of clowns.

So, fear will likely be a deciding factor in whether you decide to give it a whirl, or not. But with an ultimate jackpot of 100,000, you’d be crazier than these characters not to give it a try. With high volatility it’s a bit of a tightrope but you can definitely handle it.
