The Haunted Carnival

Are you ready to peek behind the curtains of a carnival where many dangerous monsters perform?

The Haunted Carnival by Nucleus Gaming software is an online one-armed bandit that features a larger 5x4 board setup with 50 fixed paylines, incredible graphics and eerie music!

There are some special features waiting for you in the carnival as well – The Witch, The Clown, The Skeleton, The Mummy and Pumpkinhead, Master of Ceremonies!

Theme and Symbols

Arriving at the carnival, make sure to get the best sets that are available, as the spooky show is about to start at any moment!

As the curtains slide to the sides, you will get to see the board that blends seamlessly with the stage.

On the stage you will also get to see interesting symbols – balloons, brooms, bandages, bones and pumpkins – lower symbols that belong to their higher paying counterparts – clowns, witches, mummies, skeletons and Pumpkinhead!

Betting Options and Other Functions

Another thing that’s great about this online release, besides graphics, sound effects and number of paylines is definitely the amount of betting options that it comes with.

With the betting range that starts as low as 0.10 credits and gets as high as 40 credits, both newer players, but seasoned veterans should have no issues finding suitable options.

Unfortunately, the payout potential in the base game is not the greatest, so keep an eye out for some of the special features in order to get the most value out of your spins!

Special Features

Every 10 spins that you take, a new act takes place on stage where each of the performers has a special ability that will affect the gameplay:

• The Witch – For the Witch’s act, every Witch or Broom symbol that lands will be marked on the reels. This position remains marked throughout all of 10 spins. On the 10th spin, the Witch’s cauldron will transform the marked positions into Wilds!

• The Clown – During the Clown’s act, any clown and balloon symbols that appear on the reels also mark their locations. On the last spin, every marked location transforms into Mystery boxes that transform into a random non-wild symbol!

• The Skeleton – Any bone or skeleton symbols that appear on the reels during the Skeleton’s act will increase the counter by 1. In the 10th round, a macabre maracas player awards Free Respins according to the counter value!

• The Mummy – Each mummy or bandage symbol for the Mummy’s act increases the multiplier. On the last spin, the total multiplier will be applied, giving you a chance to score high wins!

• Pumpkinhead, Master of Ceremonies – The Pumpkinhead mimics the abilities of other performers, being a Wild symbol himself. During the Witch’s act, he awards 5 or more Wilds, during the Clown’s act he awards 5+ mystery boxes, during the Mummy’s act he applies a large multiplier, while The Skeleton’s act gets enhanced by awarding you with a random number of additional Re-Spins!

Verdict

By now we are used to Nucleus Gaming coming up with high-quality online products, which is the case with The Haunted Carnival – a horror-themed addition to this provider’s online portfolio.

Great bonus features, stunning visuals and sound effects, as well as the amount of betting options all make this a great all-rounder.

However, if you don’t feel like this one is your cup of tea, maybe Spooky Graves might be more to your taste!
