Carnival Jackpot, developed by Microgaming is a flamboyant slot inspired by the annual Mardi Gras festival held in New Orleans. Samba dancing in full regalia and feathered headdress set the scene as you dance your way to respins and big prizes.
About Carnival Jackpot
Played across 5 reels with 9 paylines, Carnival Jackpot is available on desktop and mobile devices from 27p up to £54 per spin. It’s a medium variance slot with an RTP set at 96.04% and a top prize of 4,000x the total bet.The slot is bright and vibrant just like costumes worn at the famous festival. A rich purple backdrop house the gold encased reels. Bright and colourful royals represent the low values, along with a trumpet, a masked harlequin, a banner, and a samba dancer. There is also a wild and a scatter.
Gameplay
Carnival Jackpot is not enriched with features in fact there is only one and that’s the Jackpot Respins.To enter the respins you’ll need 3, 4, or 5 scatters landing on a single spin. First, you’ll receive a payout of 2, 5, or 8x the total bet. The scatters that triggered the feature lock on the reels, the reels are made up of blanks and scatters only. If another scatter lands during the respins it also locks on the reel and another respin is awarded. This continues while scatters land during the respins. Once no more scatters land your payout is calculated. The more scatters on screen the bigger your prize, there’s up to 4,000x up for grabs.
Verdict
With the vibrant, and flamboyant theme of Jackpot Carnival, you’d expect the slot to be feature-rich with plenty of action, but it’s neither. With only one feature to speak of it’s not exactly exhilarating. However, a top prize of 4,000x is something worth considering.
