Haunted Circus Slot Machine - Play Haunted Circus Slot Free

Pros & Cons

The single biggest positive about Haunted Circus is the jackpot of 2,500,000.

Besides that, it has exciting bonus features that change up the gameplay, a theme it carries through to every piece of art and multipliers to make the winnings stack up. On the other hand, the non-jackpot prizes are on the small side, and if you don’t like the spooky circus theme, this game is not for you.

Introduction

Haunted Circus by Hacksaw Gaming demo slots is one of many Halloween themed slots, but it’s an excellent example of the theme. Plus if you’re one of the many people who like to keep it spooky all year round, it’s never out of season.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Haunted Circus is lavish. With a spotlight in the middle of the screen, a lush red velvet curtain that rises to show off the game reels and sinister vintage posters for a backdrop, the attention to detail is superb.

All the characters you would expect from a haunted circus are represented, from sinister clowns to bearded ladies, and the letter and number symbols transform from a vintage font to eerie eyeballs, skulls and fanged mouths. With an audience of gravestones and a seriously spooky ringmaster, the set is complete. It’s gothic, it’s creepy and it’s very well done.

Because of the very bright colors on the very dark background and the speed of the spins, the game can get a little difficult to look at over long periods of time.

The music box soundtrack is simple and fits the theme, and it hits just the right note when the announcement of a bonus game or free spins sets off a bloodcurdling scream.

RTP & Volatility

The theoretical return to player of Haunted Circus is 94.83%. Haunted Circus is a high-volatility slots game: there are some big prizes, but players can also go several spins without a win. Without multipliers in play, the base game prizes are small.

Haunted Circus Bonus Features

Haunted Circus has a lot of bonus features with big potential prizes, all unlocked by landing special symbols in the main game or bonus game.

The Wild symbol converts into a Mystery Multiplier. A Wild in any winning line multiplies the prize by 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x. Multipliers are cumulative: if a line wins 2.5x total bet, with Mystery Multipliers of 2 and 3, the total prize is 2.5 x 2 x 3, or 15x total bet. The maximum win with multipliers is 625x total bet.

In the base game, spinning three Bonus symbols triggers Haunted Circus’ Bonus Mode. This unlocks a bonus wheel with three rows. Each row contains free spin, multiplier or arrow symbols. Free spins unlocks Free Spin mode, as above. Multiplier symbols pay out the total bet multiplied by the symbol. An arrow symbol unlocks the next row up. Land three arrow symbols and unlock the enormous 2,500,000 million jackpot.

If you unlock free spins in the bonus game, you’ll return to the main game but in free spin mode. In this mode, there’s a higher chance of multipliers and a free spin symbol. Land three free spin symbols to trigger five more bonus spins, up to a maximum of ten. While in free spin mode, spins play automatically until there are none left.

Overall Review

Haunted Circus by Hacksaw Gaming is great fun. Although there’s only a small chance of winning that tempting 2,500,000 jackpot, there are plenty of ways to get multipliers and take the small base game winnings up to a pleasing level. The look and feel of the game are a great mix of fun and spooky, and you can sense (from beyond the grave?) that whoever designed it had a great time doing so.

If you can’t get enough of spooky themed slots, Sinister Circus slot demo on Slots Temple has a similar theme to Haunted Circus and is free to play.
