Article Summary:
Recently released by Hungry Bear, Big Top Terror is a new circus-themed online slot game created by Yggdrasil. Drawing inspiration from menacing clowns like Pennywise from the It movies, this game offers players the chance to win up to 50,000 times their bet, along with Sticky Wild Multipliers in the Bonus Game. With 5 reels, 3 rows, and 243 ways to win, players can place bets ranging from a minimum of 0.2 to a maximum of 5. The game offers three different RTP options, with a default rate of 94%; however, operators can opt for lower rates of 90.5% or 86%.
The game is set on a dark circus stage at night, featuring spooky clowns and fortune tellers as symbols. The Wild Symbol, embodied by a wicked-looking rabbit, and the Scatter Symbol, depicted by a cannon triggering the Bonus Game, are among the featured symbols. The game includes special features like Wild Symbol and Free Spins.
The Wild Symbol can substitute all other symbols except the Scatter Symbol to form winning combinations, with the potential for a multiplier during Free Spins. Triggered by landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols, the Free Spins feature activates the Free Spins Wheel, offering various free spins options. Wild Symbols become sticky during Free Spins, providing multipliers of up to 3X, with a maximum cumulative multiplier value of 81X.
Hungry Bear has crafted a game that offers straightforward gameplay and a user-friendly experience, highlighted by the enticing Sticky Wild Multipliers.
