The Twisted Circus Online Slot Review

Roll up, roll up! The Twisted Circus slot game is a colourful yet curiously dark twist on the funfair theme, with plenty of oddball symbols and some high-flying payouts. Software provider Microgaming does away with paylines for this weird and wonderful game, instead offering 243 ways to win when the circus tent has closed. Check out this Twisted Circus guide to find out which performers to watch out for and which bonuses are worth the price of admission.

TV shows like American Horror Story and Twin Peaks intrigue an audience with a fearful fascination with freakishness. Software provider Microgaming brings this intrigue along with charismatic charm to The Twisted Circus, with a wide variety of stereotypical side show characters such as the bearded lady, a snake charmer, the fire eater and the white-haired conjoined twins taking centre stage. The music playing along is a darker version of the chirpy Entry of the Gladiators (Thunder and Blazes), slowed down and warped. The ring master guides you through the circus, offering you free spins and bonuses along the way. The high return-to-player (RTP) rate of 96.36% may just draw you into the bizarre world of the travelling circus to stay.

The Twisted Circus slot game features a dark yet delightful cast of characters, from a double jointed joker, a curvy-moustached strongman and an accordion-playing monkey. The monkey pays out the lowest, with five symbols on the same payline scoring 1400 times the bet. The highest is the brave fire eater, with a full five in in a row scoring you 5000 times the original bet.

The Wild symbol is The Twisted Circus’ game logo and can stand in for all symbols on the board with the exception of two: the Scatter and the Bonus. The Scatter here takes the guise of an admission ticket, with a purple eye staring right out at you. If three or more of these appear anywhere on the reels, it activates a Free Spins bonus round with 13 free spins regardless of how many Scatters you land. Note, the Scatter symbol is incredibly valuable and a full five in a row could win you 60,000 times the original bet. Not only that, all of the wins that come in under Free Spins are multiplied by three, with a potential win of 416,000 coins.

There's another bonus round that appears when you spot the Ring Master symbol on reels three, four and five. He guides you to a different section inside the large tent, where you're presented with a 4 x 4 grid of circles, each with a star and a creepy eye looking out. Once there, you need to match three symbols for a prize. Wilds are also part of the bonus round and will stand in for the highest-paying combinations, as well as awarding multiple wins. Again, the fire eater offers the highest win of 15,000 times the original bet. But if you can uncover three Wilds before any other symbols, this increases to a jaw-dropping 42,000 coins.
