Circus of Horror slot review
A circus knife-thrower knows his craft: every blade pins the target to the board so it can't move an inch. In GameArt's Circus of Horror, a dark big top full of vampires, mummies and other nightmares, Grimo the Clown plays that target: in the base game, knives are randomly thrown at the clown wilds and pin them in place. The big idea: sticky wilds in the base game, free spins with x3 on every win and a risky Electric Chair bonus.
Ticket to the show: a 5x3 grid, 243 ways to win, RTP 96.68%, high volatility. Scatters award 8, 12 or 15 free spins with an x3 multiplier, and the Electric Chair bonus can double your total win.
Who's performing in the ring?
The reels feature vampires, mummies, sinister nurses and other figures from your darkest dreams. Grimo the Clown is the wild, substituting for every symbol except scatters and bonuses.
