Welcome back to the famous carnival where you get to prolong all the fun you had while playing the previous release coming from the Microgaming slot portfolio!
This time, the devs teamed up with their partner Pulse 8 Studios and created a sequel with plenty of improvements in terms of graphics and gameplay, as well as a set of features that include a unique Jackpot Respin bonus!
Experience the authentic carnival atmosphere and see if you can grab the maximum prize of 4000x the stake!
Theme and Symbols
If you have tried out the original release, you would know what to expect in terms of graphics and visuals, only neater and improved!
The background is quite simple, showing several purple nuances with some glittery dots, while the reels are beautifully lined in gold and ornamented frame.
On them, you will see well-known icons from the previous online title, showing playing card symbols from 10 to A, a dancer, a clown, a flag, a trumpet, the game's logo, as well as...
...the Wild logo symbol with colorful feathers and the Scatter logo in golden letters.
The South American inspiration is noticeable in every detail and in the authentic Brazilian-style soundtrack that perfectly accompanies the action!
Betting Options and Other Functions
With a minimum bet of 0.27 and a maximum bet of 54 credits, Carnaval Jackpot has something to offer players of all levels.
The game is played across 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 9 bet ways, while...
...boasting the medium volatility and an above-average return to player percentage of 96.04%.
The lowest-paying symbols are the playing card symbols from 10 to A, rewarding up to 10x the stake for 5 across the pay line, while the most valuable is the game's logo, rewarding up to 555.55x the stake!
The Wild symbol appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 only, substituting for all other symbols except the Scatter!
Special Features
The main symbol of the game is the Scatter as it triggers its only bonus feature!
Land three, four, or five of them across the reels, and you will get 2x, 5x, or 8x the stake, respectively, as well as the Jackpot Respins feature!
When this occurs, all of the triggering Scatter symbols will remain in their places, as you will start another game of landing only black or Scatter symbols that will also become sticky whenever they land on the reels!
You will get 3 respins to begin with, and the number will reset to 3 each time you manage to land a Scatter symbol. The game finishes if you have three consecutive spins with only blanks or if you are lucky enough to cover all 15 positions of the grid!
The latter situation will award you the Carnaval Jackpot of 4000x your bet!
The other prizes include 10x, 12x, 14x, 16x, 24x, 32x, 48x, 80x, or 400x the stake from 6 to 14 Scatters across the reels!
Conclusion
If you loved the original online release, there's nothing not to love about this sequel as it comes with improved graphics and features!
The Microgaming partner, Pulse 8 Studios, did a great job with the game's Jackpot Respins feature, known as the Hold and Spin feature. Although you may not like the fact that the second-highest jackpot is only 400x the stake, only one symbol separates you from the game's maximum prize of a decent 4000x the stake!
