Fun Fair

Every time I go to play a slot developed by Cayetano Gaming for the first time my attitude is totally optimistic thanks to the accumulation of good experiences I have had with many of its games, this time the turn is for "Fun Fair," a slot of 5 x 3 reels with a fully attractive appearance, colorful scenery and funny images inspired by the grand spectacle of the circus. At first glance the payout of this game looks fair enough and we can also see that this video slot owns a special feature that will lead you each time to enjoy one of five attractions available on it.

Once we have watched the paytable section, we are ready to start enjoying the fun and why not, perhaps also the generosity of this slot. After a couple of long sessions I feel a little disappointed of this game and everything is because I have just dealt with a hit average quite low in my opinion, my expectations were not met and definitely ain’t so fun when you see few opportunities to win on the horizon. Quite late I entered curiosity about the theoretical RTP of this game and I can see that it is only 91.71% (93.02% on information section of the game itself), quite low compared to most of slots that are normally found in a range between 95 and 97 percent, and yet some of them are almost unbeatable. For me the best chance to get big wins in this game has been getting some wilds stacked in combination with some high symbols, since to be honest, I never managed to trigger one of the promising bonus rounds that are obtained with the appearance of 3 star scatters; the name of the 5 bonus rounds are: baloon darts, shoot the ducks, coin bulldozer, magic free spins, slots always wins and finally ring the bell, but as I said, I do not have sufficient basics to make any comments about them because of lack of interaction. I am convinced that in Paddy Power casino, owners of Cayetano Gaming, I can find many other slots that besides of being pretty fun may offer a better chance of winning than Fun Fair slot; that said, I think it would be good that more players to share their experiences with this slot machine to confirm or refute my current perception thereof, which after all, I cannot deny that it has a great look.

Fun Fair is a very nice amusement park themed game which main strength is the fantastic atmosphere creating ability. The interface of the game is a very well done job and it’s beautiful, colourful and cute at the same time. Beautiful because the graphics are really great, detailed and clear and the used colours are perfectly placed, powerful and fortunately not eye-irritating thanks to the greatly selected colour tints and cute because the symbols (Ferris wheel, carousel, shooting gallery, candy-floss got a little funny and perhaps a little bit childish illustrations but they still look great and luckily the creators didn’t overdone them. So the entire appearance of the game is very tempting and make me child again who’d have love to spend all day in an environment like this so thanks to the creators to make me possible to recall a little bit the good old days.

Sadly at this 20-payline slot the winning combinations have a very questionable payout quality as the best we can win by them is just only 600 times of line bet which is needless to say far from being considered as a good or respectable ability and it’s also a bad thing that the Wild symbol which gives out this ‘grand’ prize can’t multiply the wins when it’s fulfilling its substituting functionality but just like all other symbols it may appear in stacked format on the reels which is a very important fact because it really can compensate the mentioned shortcomings as well as the not less than 6 different bonus games what the game provides so we really don’t have any reasons to complain about the game would be boring.

3 or more Fun Fair special emblems (doesn’t have own rewarding ability) during base game can give us the freedom to choose from the bonus games which we like the most or better suiting to our playing style. Magic Free Spins as its name shows give us 20 free games during the entire middle reel transformed into Wild and every spins there are played with the same conditions as the base games were played (not a bad free games version but sometimes it can be a little bit more open-handed but on the other hand the 20 spins are good enough to something happen there and getting more Wilds on the table may really can some tricks).

At Ballon Darts bonus we have to pop balloons (3 to 5) to win instant cash prizes (it’s not too interesting game and not last too long). Slots Always Win extra is basically a mini classic slot machine we must play with and after choosing our land-based slot imitation machine we’re awarded 3 to 5 tries to spin the reels (it’s a really nice mini game and though it’s not too generous but at least it’s enjoyable side game).

Shoot the Duck add-on is very similar the Slot bonus at least I like to play with it because of its entertaining ability and when it starts we’re provided a target number between 3-5 and our main goal here is to shoot down that many yellow ducks in the shooting gallery for instant bonus prizes.

My personal favourite is the Coin Bulldozer where we got at the beginning of the bonus some coins (3-5) which we must throw in the machine while a coin value meter is running and when we inserted the coin it stops and the value is displayed and when coins fall down the tray this coin value is randomly multiplied. Perhaps I can’t tell this working system precisely but it’s more simple in reality and I’m not saying it would be the most exciting side game on the market but I could pocket by it 2 times more than €50 for my €1 total bet.

The last bonus is the well-known strength measurement as we have to hit the button at Ring the Bell side game (we have 3-5 chances for doing that) and at the end of the extra the won bonus credits are combined determining the final won amount.

I like very much these kinds of bonuses. Some of them are interesting and enjoyable other more of a profitable mini games but except the free games all of them are really great imitations of what we can do and play in a real amusement park and that’s kind of authentic playing style is definitely respectable. The downside here at the bonuses which really influences the entire gaming experience is the fact that Cayetano games don’t really like to trigger secondary game frequently and at Fun Fair is really a big problem where so many extras are there to give us increased chances to win bigger amounts so if we want to get a taste of all bonuses we have to have enough patience and massive bankroll. Fortunately, the normal game mode has got relative good winning tendency thanks for the attribute of symbols to appear in stacked format and however seemingly poor is the payout numbers of winning combinations but playing the game that’s not really realized and we can collect some nice amounts throughout the entire game.

All in all, it’s a good looking, nice slot with powerful entertaining capability and for me surprisingly decent rewarding ability so I really like this slot and think this is a wonderful project from Cayetano despite of the obvious shortcomings that can be experienced at some area. I can advise to everyone to come and try this game because I’m sure everyone can find here something what will be loved and really believe this slot can cause some memorable minutes for its customers.
