The Amazing Circus is NYX Interactive’s first foray into the ever popular circus video slot genre. With a 5 reel, 20 payline format it is safe to say they have gone with the crowd on format but have upped the ante in the design and features stakes. Their slot offers no less than four features and the chance to win an impressive $100,000 jackpot!
The Amazing Circus Slot Theme
The slot has been designed to look like a Big Top, a huge tent where traveling circuses perform their shows. The reels are set upon this stripy background with a dark blue reel border offsetting the red and yellow glare of the tent.
The reel icons are typically NYX style, this is a good thing because they are vibrant, fun and best of all animated (some more than others). They include a juggling monkey, an elephant, fire eater, bear, popped corn, a strongman, a human cannon ball, the Ring Master and a hula-hooping performer.
The stunning design is complimented by an impressive array of betting options which range from just 0.05 to £/$/€1000 per spin. This vast range means both penny gamblers and high rollers (and everyone besides) can use the slot with their ideal total bet.
NYX has also included a handy 5 or 10 time automatic spin feature, which is handy and offers more control than a standard auto button.
The Amazing Circus Video Slot Features
The Wild Tiger Symbol can substitute for all other symbols bar the free spin, scatter and bonus. It’s a fairly prominent feature and doubles any winning payouts it contributes to.
Another handy feature is provided by the Big Top Tent scatter, as it pays out wins when at least two icons appear anywhere on the reels. You receive 2x, 5x, 15x or 100x your bet when 2, 3, 4 or 5 icons appear on the reels.
Free spins are won once 3, 4 or 5 big wheel icons appear on the reels. This will award 5 free spins for three icons, 10 free spins for four icons and 15 free spins for five icons which can be retriggered.
The ‘Select a lion’ bonus round is won when three, four or five lion icons appear on the reels. During the round you select from six lions, some contain instant wins whilst others will display collect. Once you discover the ‘collect’ the bonus round ends and your winnings are added to your overall balance. During our review this feature was triggered three or four times, with each round paying 3 to 4 times our line stake.
The combination of these four features with the overall look and feel ensures The Amazing Circus slot is fun and engaging. We like the fresh and fun graphics and feel the theme would suit slot players with a similar outlook and demeanour.
