How to play
This isn’t a tricky game to get your head around once you start spinning the reels. What’s more, the wide betting range caters for both modest players and high rollers.
Make your bets and hit Spin to set the reels in motion. If preferred, you can use Autoplay to line up between 10 and a thousand non-stop spins.
Alongside the standard 9 to A playing cards are four high-paying characters clad in carnival-style garb.
Carnival Queen Slot special features
Special symbols
The Wild is the letter W against a purple background and decorative frame. Land six on a Payline to bank 20x stake. Where there are no winning combinations, a Wild removes all other icons, bar the Scatter, horizontally and vertically.
The Scatter is a masked face (the Carnival Queen herself), with the word ‘Bonus’ in capitals.
Free spins
Land a minimum of three Scatters to kick this round off, and enjoy between a dozen and 24 free spins. Plus there’s an unrestricted chance to land three to 15 further freebies when two to six Scatters crop up in a free whirl, during which the multiplier will not reset.
Avalanche feature
Symbols which are part of Payline wins are replaced with new sets of symbols which fall from above, avalanche style. This carries on while new winning combos can be created, at which point the feature stops.
The multiplier goes up by one for each Avalanche you trigger. Again, this happens while there is the possibility of a fresh Payline win within that game round, and multipliers can increase by up to 7x.
Progressive jackpot
Unfortunately, Carnival Queen does not feature a progressive jackpot.
Return to Player (RTP)
RTP or Return to Player in Carnival Queen is a bog-standard 96.1% – it doesn’t get much more average than that. This game’s also pretty middle-of-the-road when it comes to variance.
