This game is no longer available at Wombat Casino. Sorry about that chaps!
Why not try the Trick or Treat slot from Genii instead?
The Wombat says: Roll up, roll up! We’re back at the circus! But don’t expect to see clumsy clowns or ladies in spangly leotards. In Microgaming’s The Twisted Circus slot, the acts are more like the kind you’d find in a Victorian freak show. Put it this way – they are a weird and wonderful bunch. It’s a far cry from their Mermaid-themed game, the Ariana Slot. What would the vicar say?
Let’s fire up the slot and take a spin!
Look and Feel
Screenshot
Underneath this Big Top, you’ll find some awesome animations, plus the off-key sinister Circus soundtrack. The reels are chock full of delightfully drawn characters including the Ringmaster dwarf, the Bearded Lady, Mystic Fire eaters, the chained strong man with loads of tattoos, exotic snake charmers and an accordion-playing monkey, to name but a few.
Add the blood-red velvet curtain that hangs above the reels to this freaky setting and you’ve got a deliciously dark looking slot.
Game Play
The Twisted Circus has five reels, three rows and is a 243 ways to win slot (so different from their pay-lines games like the So Much Candy slot and others).
All your symbols on the reels are related to the circus theme ( there are no high-value playing cards in this game, which makes a nice change).
The Twisted Circus logo is the Wild in the slot and will substitute for all other symbols on the reels to help you form more winning combos.
The Ringmaster Bonus symbol will trigger off a nice extra feature, while the Circus Entry Ticket is the game’s Scatter. Land three or more these beauties and you’ll set off the Free Spins round.
Circus Match Bonus
Land the 3x of the Ringmaster Bonus symbols on reels 3, 4 and 5 all at the same time and you’ll trigger the Circus Match Bonus. We like this added extra!
Here you’ll win some cash prizes by matching three of the game’s curious characters out of a possible sixteen on a second screen.
There are also four flaming Wild symbols hidden among the characters ( we think the Fire Eater has been at them), and if you uncover one, it will substitute for other symbols and award you multiple wins.
But if you match all three wilds, then you really are laughing, as you’ll scoop all the available prizes on the screen. It’s jackpot time!
Grab yourself an ice cream from Sunset Delight and head on into the bonus.
Free Spins Bonus Round
If you’ve managed to land three of the Entry Ticket Scatter symbols, then it’s time to get dizzy Wombat Fans, as you’ll receive thirteen (lucky in this game) Free Spins.
All your wins during this bonus round will be tripled thanks to a handy 3x multiplier. Plus, if you land another three Scatters on the reels during the game, you’ll retrigger the Free Spins and it’s another thirteen spins for you! The Circus Match bonus is also in play during this feature.
Conclusion
A big ‘thumbs up’ to Microgaming! As we love this sinister slot. The great theme and cool features set it apart from the usual circus-themed slots. Buy a ticket to the Twisted Circus! Who knows what surprises you might encounter when the creepy curtains peel back? We’re hoping it’ll be some chunky wins…
