5 Reel Circus Is the Greatest Show In Town
Our Rating:
After spending one very peculiar day at the circus, surrounded by freaks and beasts and ferocious free spins, we’re pleased to report that it was well worth the price of admission. With its classic big top theme, simple design and generous free-spins, this brand new release from Rival Gaming turns out to be quite the crowd pleaser. You’ll be ‘oohing’ and ‘ahhing’ as you spin through all sorts of strange and talented performers to line up winning combinations.
The Barnum & Baily style graphics, which cover everything from a bearded woman to a performing seal, are spot on. Other symbols include a contortionist, a dare-devil inside a cannon, a performing elephant, the ringmaster, a bear on a bike, a clown and a lion. Players who don’t like dizzying circus music will appreciate the muted sounds of a happy crowd with the occasional honk of a clown’s horn to keep everyone smiling. The layout of the game couldn’t be more straightforward—all you have to do is hit the “Spin” button and try to keep a straight face.
This game is pretty standard in terms of features. Click on the ‘View Paytable’ button at the top right or left of your screen to view all the possible payouts and combinations. The tiger is clearly a wild symbol so don’t be afraid, he will substitute for any symbol to help you make winning combinations. The double clown is a scatter symbol and, even if you’re afraid of clowns, they’ll award you with 10 free spins. If you win during the free spins mode they’ll triple the payout that’s listed on the paytable so keep an eye out for that goofy orange hair. While the simplicity certainly has its appeal, if you’re looking for a more interesting game with complex bonus levels, we’ll warn you now that you might find 5 reel circus a little lacking in that respect.
All things considered, we’ve given this game 4 stars. The nostalgic circus theme is fun and entertaining while the user-friendly layout makes for an enjoyable playing experience with massive winning potential. Run away with 5 Reel Circus where you’ll have a wild time in the big top and hopefully land some big wins while you’re there.
