Circus Pokies At Australian Online Casinos

The circus is a form of entertainment that is becoming extinct. Soon it will be preserved only in movies, children’s books and online pokies. Microgaming is a leading software provider to Australian online casinos like Casino Mate, Royal Vegas and Ruby Fortune. It offers a number of circus themed online pokies in its portfolio. As the online pokie technology has evolved so has the complexity of these circus themed online pokies.

Big Top is an early circus themed online pokie from Microgaming. This is evident from its simplicity. Big Top online pokie has only 9 paylines with a fixed wager of 1 coin per payline. The circus themed symbols on the reels include ringmaster, elephant, seal and the big top logo. The clown is the wild symbol and the monkey is the scatter symbol. Big Top online pokie has no free spins or bonus games. Flying Circus is another Microgaming circus themed online slot from that period. The ringmaster is the wild symbol and the clown is the scatter symbol. It offers a bonus feature with 25 free spins. All payouts are doubled during the free spins.

The Grand Circus was released later by Microgaming at Australian online casinos. It is richer in features. The online pokie has 20 paylines. Also it does away with the usual playing card symbols so there are many more circus themed symbols on the reels. Surprisingly this online pokie does not have a wild symbol, but there are three scatter symbols instead. There are also two bonus features. The first one of these awards 20 free spins with a random multiplier for each spin. The other feature is a bonus game on the second screen where you select three bears walking on a tightrope to win bonus prizes.

The Twisted Circus is the latest Microgaming circus themed online pokie. It is different in content because it does not use the common circus icons. The symbols on the reels are snake charmers, fire breathers, bearded lady, tattooed Hercules, musical monkeys and other ‘twisted’ characters. The Twisted Circus has the 243 ways to win format. The free spins bonus awards 13 free spins with tripled payouts. The second screen bonus feature is triggered by the ringmaster symbol and is set inside a circus tent. You have to match three curious circus characters to win attractive bonuses. Four hidden wild symbols are included that substitute for all characters.
