Every software provider to online casinos has a Carnival themed online slot game in its portfolio. This slot machine starts to draw high traffic in the days before the Carnival in Rio. This year the date is February 28 and if you are a player at Bovada Casino or Bodog Casino then you should head for Wild Carnival. It is a product of Rival Gaming.

Wild Carnival allows you to revel in the festive atmosphere from home through vibrant graphics and pulsating sound. As the game loads you can watch the clowns on stilts and the samba girls go by. The thematic symbols include tambourine, drum, trumpet, beads, peacock feathers and masks. The playing card symbols are designed in psychedelic colours. The background of the symbols is transparent and reveals a Carnival scene as the reels spin. The jackpot symbol is the trumpet and it awards the highest payout of 7,000 times the line bet. The blue mask is an expanding wild symbol that appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5.

The action in Wild Carnival lies in the three bonus features. Three or more peacock feathers scattered on the reels triggers the free spins bonus in which all payouts are tripled. Three symbols award 5 free spins, four symbols award 10 free spins and five symbols award 20 free spins. Whenever the beads symbol lands on the reels it increases the bonus bead meter reading by 1. When the meter reaches the random maximum value indicated then you will be given a bonus payout. After delivering the bonus, the meter is reset to zero. Keep in mind that if you change any of the betting settings the meter will be reset to zero.

Three or more golden masks anywhere on the reels trigger the bonus game on the second screen. You will see the samba girl in her dressing room waiting to put on her accessories. You have to help her out by selecting from the 16 boxes beside her. You have only six picks. If the box selected by you reveals an accessory then you win a bonus credit. But if you pick an empty box then the turn is wasted. Wild Carnival is a 50 paylines online slot game in the 5x3 format. This is great because the winning combinations should appear more frequently. You can wager up to 10 coins per payline and the coin size can vary from $0.01 to $0.25.
