Carnival of Calacas

We all know that the holiday atmosphere in the world of online video slots starts around late September and after many interesting Halloween-themed online games, we are going to analyze one inspired by the famous Mexican holiday. 

Carnival of Calcas is an online game designed by Wizard Games casino software and played on 5 reels, 3 rows with 20 paylines. On the list of extras, punters will find 3 different and pretty innovative multiplier-based bonus features but we will cover them up in the following sections of this review. 

Let’s see what this is all about, shall we?

Theme and Symbols

It’s not the first and it definitely isn’t the last online title inspired by the Day of the Dead and as far as visuals are concerned, we must admit that it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. 

Royal card letters are the lowest-awarding icons in the game while several theme-matching icons represent the most lucrative ones in the game. 

Finally, there are 3 different special symbols each corresponding to a different special feature. Not bad, right? 

Betting Options and Special Features

Carnival of Calacas uses a 5x3 grid with 20 paylines. When it comes to wagering, it should be noted that all punters willing to give it a testing spin will be able to place their bets inside the range starting at 0.20 and going up to 200 credits per spin. 

It’s a medium-volatility online game with a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96.06% which is a shade above the current state of average. 

As is the case with the majority of similar online releases, Wild symbols will help you form more winning combinations by stepping in for all other regular icons. Of course, it can’t replace either of the special symbols. 

3 or more basket symbols will trigger the Ofenda Bonus feature where punters will need to pick a basket in order to win a multiplier. On the other hand, 3 Catrina bonus symbols will activate the Catrina bonus feature where you will need to spin the wheel in order to grab some precious multipliers. 

Finally, there’s the trail-based bonus feature - El Camino de los Muertos that can be activated by landing 3 or more Catrin symbols. Basically, you will need to spin the wheel to move along the path and win multipliers as well. 

Conclusion

Despite being extremely simplified both in terms of visuals and gameplay, Carnival of Calacas is another well-balanced online game by Wizard Games offering simple yet innovative bonus features, average odds and some substantial payouts.
