- A great-looking horror slot for Halloween
- Use wild symbols to turn more symbols into wilds
- Nice gameplay but quite a low win potential
I do enjoy a good, spooky halloween theme when playing slots, and spooky carnival slot from Red Tiger Gaming certainly looks the part. Set, well, at a spooky carnival, the graphics are sharp and the background is certainly quite creepy. You’ll see that there are 5 reels to play on with 3 rows, giving you a total of 10 pay lines. All you need is a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- 10
- Jack
- Queen
- King
- Ace
- Potion
- Cauldron
- Hammer
- Apple

Spooky Carnival Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. This is shown as a pumpkin and substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination. In addition to this, they can land with spooky coins attached, small symbols that are collected in the meter that you can see above the reels. When you fill the meter with 5 coins, 1 or 2 random paying symbols are turned into wilds on the following spin. If you get any coins above 5, these will be added to the meter after that spin.
Spooky Carnival Free Spins. This is the main bonus of the game as you might expect, and it’s triggered with 3 scatter symbols appearing on the same spin during the base game. They can only appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, and this will give you 10 free spins. Any spooky coins that you had from the base game will carry over into free spins, being stored in a meter. You can still collect new spooky coins during free spins, but whereas in the base game any transformed symbols are only turned for one spin, here they stay transformed for the whole bonus. Additionally, whenever you fill the coin meter, you get 3 extra free spins, so you have more time to enjoy this feature. Lastly, any coins you have at the end of the bonus will carry over into the base game.
Conclusion
Spooky Carnival slot from Red Tiger Gaming is of course released in time for halloween, and it has a great design as you’d expect from this developer. Colours are bright and vivid, and I like the carnival setting which makes it that bit more spooky and also less generic compared with many others. In the base game you get wilds that can lead to other symbols turning wild too, and this feature becomes much more effective during the free spins bonus as it becomes permanent. It is quite a simple game overall though, and the maximum win here is just 1,530x your stake, quite low compared to many of their releases lately. All in all, this slow will prove to be a bit of fun during the halloween season, but it’s unlikely to be played much beyond that.
