Slot Review: Carnaval

Those with a taste for the ostentatious and festive will surely want to take a crack at Carnaval. No, that’s not a typo. Unlike “carnival,” which may be another word for either “fair” or “circus” and is normally characterized by wild animals, Ferris wheels, and/or fried dough and cotton candy, “Carnaval” usually refers to the celebrations preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of the Catholic Lenten period. Fat Tuesday, also called Mardi Gras, is a major celebration. Nowhere in America (and few places elsewhere) is the Carnaval celebrated so enthusiastically as in New Orleans, Louisiana. Regardless of the time of year, this online slot game will have you in the mood to celebrate!

Carnaval is a five-reel, nine-payline slot machine title by online casino software giant Microgaming. Coin values range from five cents to one dollar, with max coins set at nine. The jackpot is an itty-bitty five thousand coins, but this game hits often to make up for it.

The reels are filled with such classic Carnaval symbols as: trumpets, clowns, banners, and masked dancers. The festive purple and red background really contributes to the theme, as does the festive music! Rarely is the comprehensive “feeling” of a title integrated as fully as the theme is in this online slot game. The game’s logo is the jackpot symbol – line up five of these on a payline to win big! Carnaval features wild and scatter symbols to keep you on your toes, although we bet that this game will keep you enthusiastic enough by itself!
