Samba Spins - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Welcome to the world of carnival in this dazzling game from Saucify free slots. With dynamic colours and animations, you’ll feel like you’re in Rio in this 5x3, 50-payline slot.

With not one but two expanding wilds, there’s plenty of opportunity for all reel wins across multiple paylines. This gives this slot well-balanced gameplay that will suit most players.

Apart from the two carnival dancers, you’re looking out for the fireworks scatter, which really does put a rocket under this game with up to 20 free spins with doubled wins.

We played the mobile-optimised version with smooth spins and animations, although the desktop game has some added surprises that give the graphics a boost.

We believe you should always try before you buy, so take this carnival for a few free play spins here at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Carnival in Rio is the biggest party on earth, with five days of celebrations, parades and the fabulous Sambadromo, which is where this slot seems to be set with its stands of seats.

The atmosphere is truly electric as the various samba schools get to perform in their incredible costumes, which take months to create. Then there are the dazzling balls, where the A-listers come to play, and the best street parties on the globe, where you can dance the night away to sensuous samba sounds.

The dynamic graphics and animations do their best to capture the magic. For example, the carnival queen and king expand in a cloud of confetti as they shake their booty to the samba beat.

There are whistles, drums and maracas, plus some hyper-stylised mask symbols showing some of the symbols of carnival. The samba soundtrack will have you channeling your own inner Garota.

RTP & Volatility

This slot has a standard if disappointing RTP of 95% with medium-high volatility gameplay, which is designed to attract most players to this fun-filled slot.

Bonus Features

The features in this slot are nicely balanced between the base game and the free spins bonus. Here’s how everything fits together in this colourful carnival-themed slot:

Expanding Wilds

When the Carnival King and Queen land on the reels, they expand in a flurry of confetti to fill the reels and create potential for all reel wins. Wilds appear on reels 2 and 4 and take the place of any paying symbol except the scatter.

Fireworks Scatter

This explosive symbol will trigger the free spins round when you land three or more anywhere on the reels.

You’ll also be awarded a prize that’s 10x, 40x or 100x your total bet when you land three, four or five of a kind.

Fireworks Free Spins

During free spins, all wins are doubled and you can retrigger the feature by landing more scatters.

3 scatters = 10 free spins
4 scatters = 15 free spins
5 scatters = 20 free spins

Overall Review: Our Verdict

Overall, Saucify have done a nice job of capturing the carnival spirit in this colourful slot. The well-balanced gameplay gives players plenty of potential to hit some big wins, even if the highest-paying symbols are rare.

It would have been great to see one more samba-related bonus game, but we can’t fault those expanding base game wilds or the generous free spins with doubled wins.

If you can’t get enough of the carnival feeling, Play N Go’s Samba Carnival free slot features multiplier wins up to 150x your stake in the samba drum bonus feature.
