Oh, Vikings definitely had dragons in their mythology, but instead of flying around on them like badasses, they mostly just got eaten, cursed, or somehow screwed over by them. Take Níðhöggr for example: this dragon’s whole job is to sit at the roots of the world tree, Yggdrasil, chewing away like it’s an all-you-can-eat salad bar, slowly trying to bring down the universe. And Fáfnir? That guy was a greedy dwarf who got so obsessed with gold that he literally turned into a dragon just to hoard it.
Now, what do Vikings and dragons have to do with carnivals? You’ll have to ask Bety about that with the provider’s new game, Carnival Bonanza slot.
How would you like your wins done?
The Carnival Bonanza slot features a “refilling” mechanic which is essentially just a cascading reels mechanic. The mechanic removes symbols involved in winning combinations allowing new symbols to fall into the empty spots. This gives you the chance to trigger multiple winning combinations on a single spin.
Four, five, or six scatter symbols trigger 10, 20, or 30 Free Spins, respectively. During a round of free spins, three or more scatter symbols will award five extra spins. Multiplier symbols appear only in free spins and range from x2 to x100. If multiple multipliers drop in one spin, their values are added together and applied to the total win. Multiplier symbols remain sticky throughout the refilling sequence.
Free Spins start with x2 to x5 multipliers, and each win increases the multiplier level—by 1 for low symbols and by 2 for high symbols.
If you’re not keen on waiting around for the free spins feature to be triggered the old-fashioned way, you can select to purchase a round.
Is the Carnival Bonanza slot just right or a little north of well done?
The Carnival Bonanza slot brings the heat you would expect from a dragon-themed slot with high volatility. You can bet between $0.20 and $28 per spin, making it a solid choice for both casual spinners and high rollers. It offers a whopping maximum win of $395,752, with a jaw-dropping multiplier of up to 14,134x. The slot offers an RTP rate of 96.1%.
My favorite of the Carnival Bonanza slot has to be the adorable dragon rocking the pointy-horned helmet—seriously, how can you say no to that? While it’s not overflowing with bonus features, the Free Spins round keeps things interesting with sticky multipliers and the chance for extra spins. It’s like getting fewer carnival rides but with a VIP pass to the best one. All in all, it’s a festive slot with big win potential, earning a solid 8 out of 10.
If you’re looking for a few other BGaming slots to try out, I recommend Kraken’s Hunger and Voodoo People.
