Grab your ticket and hold onto your hat as you enter the big top known as Spooky Carnival online slot from Red Tiger. The difference around this carnival is that it's less about fun and more about freakiness! That's right, set upon a dark and gloomy field in the middle of the night, you'll have to pick up potential prizes amongst some seriously spooky characters. To maximize your time playing this scary slot, look to activate Free Spins and capitalize on Wild and Spooky Coins. Time to throw your hat in the ring!

It's understandable that the scary nature of Spooky Carnival could be enough to make you a little cautious! However, if you can activate the special features within this game, you'll be much better off regarding potentially maximizing your total possible payout. So, to get you clued in on both the Free Spins feature and Wild and Spooky Coins, let's dive into this dark and gloomy circus.

The Free Spins feature within Spooky Carnival online slot machine gets triggered into action whenever 3 Free Spin symbols land on reels one, three, or five. As a reward for achieving this, you'll receive 10 Free Spins.

If you have any Spooky Coins stacked on top of the reels, these will transform to become Free Spins added to your tally. Another way to add to your spin tally is to fill up the Progress Bar to receive 3 extra bonus spins. Any Spooky Coins left above the reels, collected during the feature, will travel back with you into the base game.

The thing about Wild and Spooky Coins is that you never know when they might show up! After you spin the reels, you could land them at any point. If you do, the Spooky Coins will go into the Progress Bar, which sits above the game reels and has space for 5 coins at a time. Once the Progress Bar fills up with 5 Spooky Coins, the coins will transform and become Wild symbols that can enter the reels on the next spin. However, if you collect more than 5 Spooky Coins, these will still be able to be used, but won't be stacked in the Progress Bar until after the previous groups of Wild symbols have entered the game reels to make room for their entrance.

The game reels are found in an array of spider webs which lead the eye outward towards an ever-growing list of things that go bump in the night. The five game reels are filled with symbols that only increase the scary nature of this extra spooky slot game. Backing up all this freakiness is a theatrical and circus-themed soundtrack which boosts the eerily vacant vibe as far as it will go.
