The Twisted Circus

I know it's worth hitting the bonus round but do they have to make teaser rounds by making me see 2 scattered Ringmasters on the 3rd and 4th reel with no availing final scatter on the last reel? I guess that's the nature of slots! Although in the base game I did initially discover to get no wins for a long time before having to set the stage for large winnings...it took long but it became worth it later!

Nothing to thumbs down, I can not imagine anything bad I could say about this game.

Okay, here we go with another circus-themed game from MC. No, no, I said MC, not MG, but they are the same thing. MG is Microgaming, we all know that. MC is Master of Clones, not many know that. Hahaha. Yeah, this The Twisted Circus game is yet another clone from the MC. Not that I like to play it, or any of the cloned games, but it's something that I have to do nonetheless. It plays with the ever popular 243 ways to win, but it probably means 243 ways you could lose, and maybe only 7 ways you could win. Does that make sense to you? Nope, it doesn't to me. For me personally, it's probably like 7,776 ways to lose! Out of several thousands of separate playing on Microgaming games, my wins are only a handful and can be counted, but I'm not bothered to count them. Too little!Anyway, 'The Twisted Circus' logo is the Wild symbol in the game, paying a very low 25x the total bet for getting 5 of them. It triples all wins with it and substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter and the Bonus symbols. Getting 5 of the Scatter symbols pay the usual 100x total bet amount, and getting 3 or more of the Scatters trigger 13 free spins with all wins tripled. The Bonus Feature can be triggered during the free spins but its wins are not tripled. The Free Spins game can be retriggered too. The MC, nope, not the Master of Clones, but the Master of Ceremony, is the Bonus symbol, but it sure is a dumb one. It doesn't pay anything for itself. Getting all 3 of them triggers the Circus Match Bonus, whereby match any 3 symbols and win the corresponding prize. I have never liked this symbols matching game, but it is slightly better than the single 'Pick Me' feature, which always tend to pay me the lowest prize.There are 4 hidden 'Wild' symbols in the items to be picked, to make sure that you would end up matching 3 same symbols quickly, thereby missing out on matching 2 or more other same symbols at the same time. Yes, it is a possibility to win 2 or more prizes at one go, but I got it only once out of tens of attempts, and the 2 prizes that I won were the lowest 2 prizes. What the argh! The paytable indicates 'win up to $8400' on maximum bet, or 70x the total bet amount, but don't count on getting it easily. Before I forget, the other symbols in the game pay from 5x to 2.3x the total bet for getting 5 of each kind. What the argh! A very low paytable, typically associated with 243-ways games.

The Twisted Circus is a 243 payline, 5 reel slot game from Microgaming and the first thing I have to say about this game is WOW! It is easily one of the best looking slot games I have ever played, in a lot of ways it looks similar to the standard Microgaming setup but I dont know if its the combination of colours or what exactly but I just loved it! Even each of the symbols on the reels seemed to be so different and artistic compared to what is seen more often than not in slot games.As for the game itself it has two bonus features but in my time playing I only managed to get one of these. I landed three scatters after a hundred or so spins to get thirteen free spins in which I firstly managed to retrigger a further 13 free spins and at the end my winnings were multiplied by three and for a small bet I was delighted!I never varied from a small bet my entire time playing this game and that is partly based on the time of night spent playing this and partly down to how much entertainment I was getting from the minimum bet and with the game being so easy on the eyes I was in no rush to another game.All things considered about The Twisted Circus I am going to have to give it a rating of 7/10 and I would easily give this a higher rating if the bonus features made a few more appearances because all other aspects of this game are perfect for me.

Bonus game is absolutely not interesting and after playing it couple of times I am tired of slot at all.
