Carnaval Forever

Upbeat music, colourful graphics and a chance at a solid win or two? This is the kind of festival we can get behind! And while it has an obvious inspiration in Brazilian carnivals, Betsoft put their own neat twist to things. After all, you usually go to a celebration to spend some money and have fun. But here, you can have fun and win money!
Carnaval Forever is played on a 5×3 board with 10 fixed paylines. Seek out the Carnaval Queen, for she can award up to 9 free spins. Oh, and did we mention those free spins come with guaranteed wins? With such a strong bonus, this slot doesn’t need any others. But they did add two more to keep things entertaining: the Double Up and Buy bonuses.

On one hand, we adore how colourful and visually appealing this game is. The night sky contrasts wonderfully with the colourful decorations in the background, creating a memorable image.The only thing we wish Betsoft would do was add an animation or two to enhance the entire experience.

This release is played on a 5-reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. There are a total of 10 fixed paylines, which cannot be turned on or off. To win, collect three or more identical icons in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All wins must follow one of the currently active paylines or else the cash prize won’t be awarded to the player.

Betsoft understands their gamblers don’t want to fiddle with the specifics. And so, picking your bet is remarkably easy: just choose any value between $0.10 and $10 per spin. We can’t say we’re thrilled with this betting spread, however.It’s good for casual and mid-range players, but high rollers will find themselves heavily restricted.

This game has medium volatility and a 96.22% RTP during normal gameplay. If you’re constantly using the Buy special feature, however, the RTP increases to 96.63%. Your maximum win in this release is $10,848, and will most likely come from the super lucrative free spins!

Symbols are split into two categories: the dancers and playing card royals! We’re not big fans of the letters and numbers, but we like their festive decorations. The dancers are obviously a hit, as is the festival king with his giant key! There’s also the colourful Wild and the Carnaval Queen Scatter!

Collect 3, 4 or 5 Scatters to win 5, 7 or 9 free spins with guaranteed wins. Furthermore, if you find Scatter while free spins are being played, you get two more extra turns.

If you’re feeling impatient, you can always buy a free spins round for 100x your total stake. However, when a Bonus Buy coin appears on the reels, it lowers the cost of the special feature. If you reduce the cost down to zero, it will automatically play a free spin with a guaranteed win.
