A trip to the circus has to be one of the number one childhood memories for many people. Since the 19th century, the ‘Big Top’ has been travelling around the land, entertaining children and adults from far and wide. These days, you’re more likely to come across acrobats, magicians, trapeze artists and dancers than wild animals such as big cats. However, the image of ferocious tigers and lavishly painted elephants is one that has lasted and that we all associate with a day out at the circus. All of this and more is exactly what you can expect to find on the wonderful reels of Rival’s 5 Reel Circus slot.

Theme

The theme of 5 Reel Circus has been beautifully designed. There is so much detail and artistry in the artwork on offer here that you can almost hear the famous circus theme tune ‘Entrance of the Gladiators’ just by looking at the symbols on the reels. In fact, there is a suitably circus-esque backing track playing throughout the game, interrupted only occasionally by the ‘honk honk’ of a clown’s horn. The symbols on the reels have been drawn in a vintage style, just like you might expect to find on the poster of a Victorian circus such as Barnum & Bailey. These symbols depict big top tents, bearded ladies, contortionists, lions, tigers and their tamers, bears riding bicycles, seals balancing beach balls, and clowns – to name just a few.

How to play

Game play in Rival slots is never anything less than exemplary, so it’s no surprise that 5 Reel Circus is fun and straightforward to play. There is a fixed amount of 15 pay lines, so all you have to do is select from a wide range of coin values from 1p to 25p each. This leaves you with a wager which can be as little as 25p and as high as £37.50. Sadly, there is no bonus game up for grabs here. There are however a total of three jackpots, the highest one coming in at 7,500 coins.
