UK-based software developer Pulse 8 Studios who create video slots for Microgaming exclusively has launched a sequel of their popular title Carnaval. The new title from February 2021 Carnaval Jackpot is more vibrant, bold and energetic than its predecessor and will have you dancing all night long trying to scoop up to 210,000 coins. You’ll benefit from Wild Substitutions, Scatter Pays and a Jackpot Respins Feature.
The 5-reel, 3-row layout offers merely 9 fixed paylines, across which players can stake from as low as $0.27 up to $54.00. The game pays out for a minimum of 3 matching symbols on adjacent winline positions from left to right. Tap Spin for the dance to commence or activate Autoplay so the reels continue whirling uninterruptedly.
High-win symbols include a Trumpet, Flag, Jester and a Carnival Dancer, issuing payouts between 20x and 60x your wager when 5 appear across a payline. Top-paying icon is the game’s Logo that grants from 2.50x to 500x the stake when between 2 and 5 hit. Symbols that you’ll see most frequently are those with lower payouts spanning from 7.50x to 12x the bet when 5 land and are depicted with Playing card symbols 10 through Ace. A Carnival Mask represents Wild that lands on three central reels only to replace symbols in wins, excluding Scatter. Scatter not only helps activate Free Spins but also awards prizes wherever it is on the grid.
As mentioned, Scatter strives to boost your wins during base game by granting payouts of between 1.80x and 7.20x the stake when from 3 to 5 land. You will need 3 Scatters to initiate Jackpot Respins. A different set of reels will appear with only Scatters and blank spaces landing. For as long as new Scatters hit, the Bonus will continue. The more Scatters you obtain, the higher will the prizes be. Finishing the round with 6 Scatters will issue a prize of 9x your stake, while managing to obtain an entire screen of Scatters allows you to walk away with a Jackpot of 3,600x the bet.
As this is a game of medium volatility with a RTP that stands around the industry average at 96.04%, payouts should arrive fairly often. Though the base game doesn’t offer many chances for heftier wins, it’s pretty dynamic. The Jackpot Feature holds the greatest potential as this is where prizes of up to 4,000x the stake can be bagged up. This relaxing and joyful title is well-optimized for portable screens, so players can check it out even when on the move.
