Microgaming Online Slots Take Players To The Circus

Added: August 27, 2014

It is summer when the circus comes to town. Not only children but also adults enjoy this form of entertainment. However, there is a type of circus only meant for adults and that is in online slot games. The leading software provider Microgaming to online casinos offers a number of video slots with this theme. Some of these are reviewed in this article.

One of the earliest Microgaming circus themed slot games was Big Top. It is a simple 9 paylines video slot with a fixed wager of 1 coin per payline. The symbols on the reels are all taken from the circus and include ringmaster, clown, elephant, seal, the big top logo and the monkey. The clown is the wild symbol and the monkey is the scatter symbol. Big Top has no free spins or bonus games. Flying Circus is another Microgaming circus themed online slot. It also has a similar set of symbols. The ringmaster is the wild symbol and the clown is the scatter symbol. Flying Circus is a 20 payline slot game. The bonus awards 25 free spins with all payouts doubled.

As online slot games evolved, they became richer in features. This is evident from the next Microgaming circus themed slot titled The Grand Circus. This 20 payline video slot does not use high value card symbols so there are many more circus themed symbols. The Grand Circus does not have a wild symbol, but makes up with three scatter symbols. The first bonus game awards 20 free spins with a random multiplier for each spin. In the bonus game on the second screen you have to select three from six bears walking on a tightrope to win bonus prizes.

The latest and the most unusual of the Microgaming circus themed video slots is The Twisted Circus. Instead of the usual circus symbols there are snake charmers, fire breathers, bearded lady, tattooed Hercules, musical monkeys and other sinister characters. The Twisted Circus features the popular Microgaming 243 ways to win format. There are several bonus features. One of them awards 13 free spins with tripled payouts. The single level pick until match bonus game is activated by the ringmaster symbol. It is played on the second screen that is set inside a circus tent. You have to match three curious sights to win attractive bonuses. Four hidden wild symbols substitute for all and give you added winning opportunities.
