About Cirque du Slots
Cirque du Slots is a Rival Gaming developed video slot, and one which is based on the famous Cirque du Soleil. The game features some rather flashy imagery for a Rival Gaming developed slot, and players can expect to find that they have total control over the 5 reels and 25 paylines in this game. All the paylines are adjustable, as are the coin values, which range from 0.01 up to 0.25 in all. Players can stake anything from 1 to 10 coins per line in this game, and that will see them able to wager anything from a floor bet of just 0.01 per line per spin, up to a ceiling bet which is capped at 62.50 per spin. This game contains a non-progressive jackpot worth 600x your total bet, which is won when a player lands 5 of the purple circus master symbols on any active payline.
Special Features
Unlike the purple circus master – which acts as the best-paying symbol in the slot – the green circus master is a wild symbol. Wilds can replace all other symbols in the game, and multiply any winning combinations in which they appear by 3x the normal rate of pay. Wilds can also expand to fill entire reels when they are used in winning combinations.
Players who land 3 or more unicycle symbols anywhere on the reels will pocket scattered wins, and advance the game to the next act. We’ll discuss there in greater detail in just a moment.
Free spin symbols appear as clowns. Land 3 or more of these icons in regular play, and you will active a free spins bonus round. That free spins feature consists of 7 free games, although players cannot retrigger the feature. Scattered wins worth 1x, 5x, and 25x your total bet can be had for 3, 4 or 5 scatters appearing on the reels. Wilds also play a special part in this bonus game, but how effective they are, depends on the act you are currently playing in.
Bonus Features
The act feature is the key to this game’s originality. In the first act’s free spins bonus, wilds expand horizontally across the reels. During act two’s free spins bonus, wilds expand either vertically or horizontally across the reels. In the third act, the wilds expand both vertically and horizontally across the reels. These expanding wild act bonuses are the key to making Cirque du Slots stand out from other circus-themed slot machine games.
