Carnival slots are the perfect choice of game for those looking for some lively, colourful and feel-good fun. They are a particularly excellent choice of online slots in the UK during the cold, rather dreary winter months.

Online slot games with themes such as carnival and water, or even adventure slots, are a great way to get amped for those long, sunny summer days. Or, simply to get a hit of some fun slots to play during your downtime.

We’ve got some wonderful carnival-themed games here at The Phone Casino that are sure to dazzle you with their colourful displays and sublime gameplay.

Let’s take a look at some of the top carnival-themed games that we have on offer.

Carnival Queen

What better way to kick off a carnival-themed blog than with an online slot game based on the carnival of all carnivals? We’re talking about Mardi Gras, of course. Also known as “Carnival”, it is perhaps the most well-known and celebrated carnival in the world.

This is a Thunderkick slot with six reels and 4,096 ways to win, as well as an Avalanche feature, which gives you the chance to win multiple times in a single spin. When it comes to symbols, you can expect the usual card symbols, along with a couple of characters in their most colourful Carnival costumes, and some extra Mardi Gras tidbits.

The King’s Carnival crown and the slot’s ‘W’ wild symbol are the top-paying symbols in the game. Land two, three, four, five or six crowns on a payline and you’ll get 1, 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 times your stake respectively. The wild will replace all symbols except the scatter and can reward up to 20x your stake for six on a payline.

Get three or more mask scatters in the base game and you’ll get 12 free spins. If you get more than three, expect an additional four free spins (for every scatter). Land two or more scatters during the feature and you’ll get three additional free spins. There’s no limit to how many free spins you can win in total.

Buster Hammer Carnival

Buster Hammer is back and he’s bigger than ever before. Powered by Scientific Games, this game is played on a 5×5 grid with 3,125 to 32,768 ways to win. You’ll find Buster in a big fairground tent, doing the Russian Kozachok dance on big wins.

You’ll find the standard low-value symbols, which are the nine to ace playing cards, as well as carnival tickets, hot dogs, bow and arrow targets, and Buster himself, which increase in value in that order. 

The Buster Bet feature is a big draw. At Level 1, it will cost you between 50p and £12.50 a spin with Wild Hammers appearing on reel 3. At Level 2, you’ll get Wild Hammers on reels 3 and 4 – costing between 75p and £17.50 per spin. In Level 3, you’ll need to spend between £1 and £25 a spin but will get the wilds on the three middle reels. Get one or more of these wild hammer symbols in a winning combo and you’ll activate the Wild Striker feature, which changes your hammer symbols to Gold Wild Hammers.

The Mighty Free Spins is this slot’s bonus feature. Land three or more Buster Hammer Carnival logo symbols to win two, 10 or 50 times your stake (for three, four or five scatters) alongside 10 free spins. The grid expands to 5×8, which gives you 32,768 ways to win.

Esqueleto Explosivo

We’re moving on to Mexico now and we’re talking about a slot that is based on the country’s most famous day of celebrations: Dia De Muertos. Or, as most people know it, Day of the Dead.

Enrico Mortis and his aptly named mariachi band, The Boners, celebrate this special day in the best kind of way – with music. Thunderkick software is behind this 5-reel, 17-payline slots game and you can expect the usual high quality that they deliver.

The usual card symbols are the game’s lowest-paying symbols, but the main high-value symbols are different, colourful skulls that represent each band member. These skulls will sing part of a catchy Mexican tune every time you land a winning combination.

Explosivo Wild, Mucho multiplier and Dropping symbols are the game’s most important symbols. 

Explosivo Wild is a yellow, cool-looking skull with glasses and a stylish haircut. This will substitute for all the other symbols. If you manage to hit this symbol on the reels, it will explode all eight symbols around it and increase the multiplier by one level.

The Mucho multiplier feature will activate when you hit a win on a drop (see below) or when you hit at least one Explosivo Wild. The multiplier goes up by one level and then ascends by x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32 for every drop.

Dropping symbols are similar to the Avalanche and Cascading symbol features you’ll find in other games. If you get a winning combination, the winning symbols shatter and will be replaced with other symbols that drop down, giving you another chance of winning.
