Haunted Circus

The so-called 'freak show', or the circus as most people know it, used to be an attraction for people to pass their time, enjoy something interesting and have a good laugh. 

That was the idea, however, we're going to see something a little bit different here, it's not too far off the topic, but it comes with a little twist... 

That is...the 'haunted' part…

Join us and let’s review Haunted Circus from Hacksaw Gaming together!

Is The Theme Interesting? What Are The Symbols?

Haunted Circus is the online slot game by Hacksaw Gaming and it's one of the biggest paying non-progressive slots ever. The theme of this game is quite clear, it's the circus. 

But that's not all there is to it…

The haunted part is evident in the reels. The symbols might seem ordinary at first, but if you take a closer look, you will notice the skulls and the grave stones appearing once you match the line. 

The music theme reminds me of some horror movie tune - you know the feel when there's an abandoned carousel and it's all dark and gloomy. It's pretty spooky, at least from my perspective, but I must admit that the graphics really do match those of modern editions these days. The reel is highlighted with a flashlight to keep the focus on it.

There are 12 symbols in total, out of which 5 are low paying royals K, Q, J, 10 and A. The Bearded Lady, The Snake Lady, Green Clown and The Strongmen are premium paying icons with a value of 2,5x the stake for their combination of five.

There are also Wild, Bonus and Scatter symbols.

And What About Betting Options And Features?

Haunted Circus is made out of 5 reels, 4 rows and 1024 ways to win. You win by matching at least 3 or more symbols on adjacent reels starting from left to right.

You can wage your bets from as low as €0.20 and all the way up to a maximum of €100.00 per single spin. The title is of fairly high variance and has a return to a player of 94,83% but…

Do not get discouraged, lower RTP is usually the case where there is a fixed jackpot and that's just the case here with a fixed jackpot of $2,500,000.

Spooky Bonus Wheel Feature - you trigger this feature by landing 3 bonus scatter symbols. The game shifts to another gear where the wheel is made out of 3 different rewards. An arrow, free spins and a cash prize with multiplier.

If you land on an arrow mark you will progress to another level where the rewards are even better. There are 3 levels in total and if you happen to land on an arrow icon 3 times in a row, then the fixed jackpot of 2,500,000$ is won!

If you land on a multiplier, a fixed win based on your bet is awarded. If you end up on free spins the game goes back to the base game where you will play out freebies. The thing here is that you get more wilds and multipliers as well as an extra scatter symbol.

If you land 3 more scatters you can get additional 5 free spins up to a maximum of 10.

Wild Mystery Multipliers - Whenever the wild is a part of a winning combination it will change itself to a random multiplier of x2, x3, x4 or x5. It is possible for more than one multiplier to appear when two or more wilds are present up to a maximum multiplier of x625.

Ready For Final Verdict?

If horror theme is your cup of tea, then, by all means give Haunted Circus a try. The jackpot prize looks pretty tempting, but, if we are going to be honest with ourselves, it's highly unlikely we'll win it if that's all you aim for. 

Yet, if you're looking for something interesting and want to enjoy good graphics with a gothic and horror atmosphere you should definitely try it.
