The name “Animal Carnival” immediately makes me think of the smash-hit Nintendo franchise Animal Crossing, which my younger sister has been completely addicted to for as long as I can remember. I suspect that Fantasma Games may have had the same idea, considering the look and feel of the characters and background presented here in the Animal Carnival online slot. Every time I write “Carnival”, I somehow keep writing “Carving” instead, too – what’s up with that? Staying on topic now, the game has an RTP of 95.64% and uses ten pay lines, whilst the maximum win comes in at a mere 1,642x bet.
Typically from this provider, you will find several features included in various parts of Animal Carnival; this is a rolling reels game labelled “Avalanche” by Fantasma, meaning that all wins are immediately removed from the reels allowing you to win several times from a single paid spin. A win meter on the left of the reel set fills up as you score multiple consecutive wins, and there is a separate wild meter that populates each time three wilds appear on the screen. Two base game mods are included – the “Cannon Respin” and the “Sparkle Wild”, and a free spins bonus round and bonus buy features are also available.

Let’s talk about the theme again for a moment – I suspect that most of you will be able to picture something close to the look of Animal Carnival without further prompting, but I will tell you a little more anyway. The animals are presented in a cartoonish fashion, pulling funny faces and the like, whilst tents and cannons complete the circus theme and give the game a fun and interesting look. I’m sure many other online slots feature funny looking animals. Still, the most obvious comparison is likely to be made with Animal Crossing and its sequels – if those games are your bag, you are almost certain to enjoy how this game looks.
With just ten paylines, I expected the paytable's numbers to be reasonably large. This time around, however, that is not the case, and even a full pay line of five wild symbols will only net you 5x your bet in the Animal Carnival slot game. I suspect that the reason for this is that all of the symbols are stacked on the reels, including the wild, but even taking that into account, I can’t help but struggle here - doesn’t that mean a full screen of wilds is both possible and would only pay 50x your stake? The queen pussy cat character is the highest paying regular symbol at 3.5x, followed by bowser… sorry, a crocodile at 3x, a deer (I think?) also at 3x, and a monkey and a bear who both pay 2.5x your bet for five-of-a-kind.
Fantasma has included 20 wagering options which start at €0.20 for the minimum bet and tops out at €200.00 for each paid spin as the maximum. I can’t imagine too many people would want to bet that much every couple of seconds, but hey – the option is there if you want it.
The basic game of Animal Carnival takes place on a standard 5x3 playfield, but you will soon spot the additional three bonus reels that appear above these that contain wild symbols and drop onto the reels each time an avalanche completes and removes symbols from the regular reel area. There are two modifiers that can occur at random during the base game, and these are as follows:
Any time one or more sparkle wild symbols appear on the main reels, it will activate this mod, transforming 1 - 4 random positions on the screen into additional wild symbols. The paytable notes that this mod cannot add wilds to the bonus reels above, which suits me just fine!
Keep an eye out for the cannon symbol, as one or more of these will trigger the second mod, which will kick in after you run out of avalanches. For each cannon symbol you hit, between three and six regular symbols will be removed to allow an additional avalanche to complete. If you do not score a win or run out of cannon symbols, the round will end, and you will be back to paying for your next spin.
As well as all of the action present in the base game, you also have a main free spins feature to look forward to whilst playing Animal Carnival. Three bonus symbols appearing on the main reels will award ten free spins after all avalanches and winnings have been paid out.
During the bonus round, all wins that you receive will be added to your win meter which is boosted by a wild multiplier once all free spins have ended. Any further bonus symbols that appear during your free spins will add one more free spin to your remaining counter.
If it is permitted in your jurisdiction, you can skip the regular game and go straight to free spins by paying 70x your normal bet amount. This seems like a fair price to me, considering that there aren’t too many additional features during free spins.
Fantasma Games have created a fun online slot with Animal Carnival, but it isn’t their best work ever. However, you might want to give it a look if you are searching for something new and exciting to play. So go on, take the demo above for a few test spins and see what you think.
