Join the ringmaster! In this case a cute little penguin with a death wish, but many friends, all bringing one hell of a show in this Wild Circus mobile slot.
If you are familiar with Red Tiger slot games then you’ll automatically recognise the cutesy cartoony style they are so fond of using.
It’s bright, it’s colourful, and you get Ace to 10 symbols intermingled with the likes of magic hats, drums, juggling clubs and even a little monkey in a red suit and hat.
This is what happens when circus animals take ownership of their lives and run the zoo. And you know what? This Wild Circus slot machine works.
At this point, you won’t be surprised to hear that there’s very little happening in the base game of this 40 payline slot machine.
Like, literally, you’ll barely get any decent wins – mostly because these are hidden in the bonus games, much like in Cinderella’s Ball phone game.
You get 3 penguins, and the black and white critter will fire out of a cannon and land you either a bonus game, a combination of bonuses, or a cash prize of about 5x to 10x your bet.
Look we don’t mind slots with bonus games – otherwise, we would have given Jumanji by NetEnt a much lower score.
And whilst those penguins show up often, more often than not you get a consolation cash prize or one of the three different click me games.
The Strongman is the most rewarding of the three, even of all to be honest.
But the two free spins are the most fun; one because it gives you multipliers (we’ve gotten up to 5x) the other because it gives you spreading wilds on each spin.
The good news is that for a 40 payline slot machine the minimum bet in this slot machine is only 0.20 a spin.
So if you are not sure how you feel about having more bonuses than spins, maybe start with a low bet and climb up if you like what you see.
Because there are good wins here – up to 2,000 times your bet, on the higher end of the Red Tiger casino game collection; next to Midas Gold slot.
Granted, it’s not as good as their online Laser Fruit game and it’s 10,000 times your bet max win, but few slot machine games reach those crazy heights.

Stacked Wild: The Monkey is the wild symbol and comes stacked across all the reels. He replaces other symbols, except scatter, to create wins.
Multiple bonuses: get 3 Penguin scatters and you'll shoot a penguin out of a cannon to land on one of multiple features.
Mostly you'll get a cash win. Or you'll trigger:
The best is when you get a combination of the Fire Breather and the Elephant spins, or the Bear and the Jester Spins.
You basically get two features, one following the other.
This Wild Circus game is certainly wild, with 5 reels and 4 rows giving you 40 paylines of big top spectacle.
And this is all about the spectacle, as you spin reels where the occasional stacked wilds give you decent wins, but you mostly wait for those 5 bonus games to trigger.
They trigger often, and the characters and animations are fun, but we can't help but long for more time spent on the five reels and less clicking on fire sticks or coins.
A good mobile game if you are want to try your hand at video slots with a little higher variance, but like that feeling of getting lots of wins often.
We probably still prefer Red Tiger's Lucky Wizard or even the simpler Masquerade slot game.
