THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols in the game come in the form of the high end of a deck of cards with 10 through to A. If the right amount of matching combinations land in one go then these symbols can offer between x0.4 and x4 the player’s stake.
Milk bottles, teddy bears, fire eaters and strong men represent the medium value symbols for this title. These symbols can offer between x0.8 and x12 the player’s stake, depending on the amount of winning combinations that land in one go.
A carnival worker depicts the high value symbol, offering between x1.2 and x14 the player’s bet.
Other symbols in the game include a Midway Money wild text symbol and a ferris wheel scatter symbol.
The wild will substitute for all paying symbols while also offering a payout between x2 and x20 if the right amount land on the same payline, whereas the Ferris wheel triggers one or more of the bonus games if three or more land at once.
These Ferris wheel scatters can only land on reels one, three or five.
Finally, a special expanded strong man symbol can land on reel four, while a strongman’s hammer can land on reel five. Landing both of these at once can trigger one or more bonus features, depending on the positions of the symbols.
THE DETAILS
The game has a strong man bell meter on the right side of the reels, with numbers from zero to 100. When two expanded strongman symbols appear together on reels four and five, the bell can potentially toll, revealing a number and activating the Ferris wheel. The higher the number, the higher the chance of gaining the Ferris wheel.
One of the bonus games offered by the Ferris wheel is the duck shoot feature. With this mode, viral duck wilds with the ability to spread to other symbols are placed on the reels.
Another feature is the fire eater game mode, which select a random paying symbol above the card royal queen and replaces every low-paying symbol with that chosen symbol.
The strong man feature is also available, and will always be triggered at the same time as the aforementioned bonus game modes. When this mode is activated, the reels can grow to five, six, seven or eight rows large with 50, 60, 70 or 80 paylines respectively.
Furthermore, a free spins feature can be gained from the Ferris wheel. Five free spins will be awarded to the player initially, with a chance to gain an extra seven spins if the triggering scatter feature repeats itself during the free turns.
