Zombie Circus

Players on the lookout for the best video slots won’t want to miss out on Zombie Circus, the game release Malta-based Relax Gaming where the undead rule the big top.

This title may look and sound horrific, but the gameplay is fantastic! RTP is off the charts, and the Bonus Game transforms waves of incoming zombies into free spins with transformed wild symbols.

Theme

Relax Gaming combines two classic approaches to online slot gaming in this well-built title: an outing to the circus and a night with the living dead.

The resulting game is one no serious player will want to miss out on. An eerie, old-time circus tent provides the visual backdrop to the reels, with flaming lanterns swinging ominously back and forth and carnival music blaring.

Gaming symbols consist of four undead circus performers – a clown, a fortune-teller, a knife-thrower, and a lion-tamer – as well as the playing card values ace through ten.

A golden stage, flanked by skulls, acts as wild, substituting for other symbols to form wins while also offering this game’s top base play payout at 50x for five-of-a-kind.

This game’s most important symbol, however…

…. is the Merry-Go-Round Bonus Symbol. This opens the way to this game’s otherworldly Bonus Feature, where player’s chances for big wins are at their greatest.

Betting Options and Functions

The chaos of a zombie takeover has done no harm to this game’s solid gaming structure. There are 10 fixed paylines, all paying from left to right. Overall per-spin bet is set simply from 0.10 – 100.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 1000 spins, or as a simple on/off toggle, with optional win/loss limits available.

Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via an expanding menu at the lower left corner of the game screen. An accelerated game tempo can be enabled at the upper right corner of the game screen. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is phenomenal at 96.92%.

Features

• The appearance of Merry-Go-Round Bonus Symbols on reels one, three, and five activates the Bonus Game.
• The Bonus Game consists of waves of Zombies. During each wave, the player picks one one of five zombies to uncover a prize.
• Additional Zombie Waves can be awarded within the bonus feature, up to a maximum of four.

• The first wave of Zombies decides how many free spins are awarded.
• Each subsequent wave transforms one standard gaming symbol into an extra wild symbol for the duration of free spins.
• The feature can be re-triggered: three additional bonus symbols awards two additional zombie waves.

Our Take

Relax Gaming hasn’t been releasing its own games for very long, and is not yet a household name…

… but they make a great case for themselves here! Strong visuals, great features, and terrific odds make this slot an instant classic.

Players who enjoy this designer’s approach should explore King of Kings, an Ancient Egypt slot that comes packed with features and offers somewhat milder design.
