Samba Carnival Slot Play'n GO

The 'Samba Carnival' video slot comes from Play 'N Go Slot with 5 Reels/15 Paylines/Bongo Bonus. As the title suggests, this slot contains as basic theme, a South American Samba Carnival in combination with the background music delivers all of that excitement/ sexiness, in terms of atmosphere/gameplay.

Recently, I decided to try it, as I had accepted a carnival offer, which contained 75 free spins. The amount won was of course low, so I thought of continuing trying further. Unfortunately, after continuous dead spins, rewarded me with 32x bet. With 3 Bongo Symbols triggering the Bonus Game which is a Pick ‘n Click prize of up to 150x bet, while the sexy dancer with the Purple ornamental feathers with top reward 2.500x bet.

Looking at the lively Samba Dancers and the lively festivity atmosphere, I would never have guessed that Play'nGo could release a cloned game! This became more evident with the release of their new game 'Holiday Season', a direct clone of 'Pimped', where the paytables remain identical, but the maximum possible win has been halved. Is Play'nGo following Microgaming's traits? In the cloning of their games, and in the low paytables too? I would hate it if this is the case. Then I have to dislike Play'nGo too, as much as I have disliked Microgaming since years ago!

Samba Carnival, for those who do not know yet, is probably the first direct cloned game from Play'nGo. The original game is none other than Lady of Fortune, or vice versa, depending on which game came out first! The 2 paytables are identical, no changes in any of the symbol values, no changes in the game features, except for new iconic symbols to reflect the game's title. Gees! I only found this out when I started playing Samba Carnival for the very first time recently. When I looked into its paytable, everything came back to me instantly, and I could recognise the Lady of Fortune becoming Samba Dancers instead.

In this Samba Carnival game, the Caracas is the Wild symbol, randomly multiplying any wins with it by 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x. It substitutes for other symbols except the Bonus symbol, but it doesn't pay anything for itself, and neither does it become stacked or expanded, making it a dumb Wild symbol nonetheless. There aren't any Scatter symbols because there aren't any Free Spins game. Argh! The Samba Drums is the Bonus symbol, appearing only on reels 1, 3 and 5, and getting all 3 of them trigger a Bonus game. Nothing nice or fun, just a simple Pick-and-Win game to win up to 150x the total bet amount. Pick 1 of the Samba Drums to find out what you have won. Don't be surprised if it's nothing big though. My picks came out 20x and 8x my bet amount. Disappointing, to say the least.

As for the other symbols in the game, the Purple Dancer pays 2500x, the Blue Dancer pays 1000x, the Green Dancer pays 500x, and all the others pay from 250x to 75x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind. Any combination of 3 or more same symbols on a payline is a win, the same way as in the game Lady of Fortune. The paytable is very low, there are only 15 paylines, so there cannot be any good big wins from this game, but you can expect lots of small almost-useless wins though, and also getting extended play time most of the time. If you like this sort of game play, then you may like Samba Carnival. For me, it's yet another disappointing game from Play'nGo.

There's been a huge rush of Samba and Brazilian themed games this year what with the olympics being held over there and all, you can't really blame the slot developers for jumping on this bandwagon but I have to say I've just about had enough of this theme at this point. That said, this is one of the prettier efforts of the bunch and the play mechanics are quite unique for a Play N Go slot too!

Other than a bunch of older IGT games I haven't really seen many slots that use the "adjacent symbols" payout scheme - this means that as well as paying both left to right and right to left you can also win a three of a kind prize from scoring three symbols on the centremost three reels on any active payline as well. Despite this the paytable doesn't look out of the ordinary to me with a top five of a kind win of 166x your stake and it's only the lower paying fruit synmbols that look to pay out poorly which is nothing new in slots, and when the lowest paying symbol still pays 5x your stake for a five of a kind I really don't think your getting a bad deal from this game overall.

There are four different wild symbols on the reels although they dont seem to appear that frequently which makes me wonder if either the reel strips are unbelievably long or if a different wild multiplier is chosen for each reel at the beginning of each spin. Bearing in mind that most slots have only one wild per reel strip I'm pretty much certain it has to be one of the above options as it definitely doesn't feel like wilds drop four times as often when playing this game. The maximum wild multiplier is 5x and it's possible to get several on a payline at once too which really helps to increase both the maximum win value and as a result the excitement of playing this game.

Samba Carnival is a very festive game from Play N` Go. Unlike many other games, in this game all the action is in the base game. This does not happen very often. There are wild symbols with different multipliers which help in creating very rewarding winning combinations. The highest amount that I have won during this slot thanks to the wilds is 300 x bet.

Samba Carnival is a 5 reels and 15 pay lines video slot game. This game is based on the very popular carnival in Rio. The purple feathered dancer is the highest paying symbol in this game. I have never got 5 on an active pay line, but I have got 4 on many occasions and a win of 250 coins should not be underestimated. The last time I played this game, I do not have to say that I play this game very often; I had a really good session. I managed to land 5 green feather girls on an active pay line in my second or third spin and I won 500 coins for that. It was a really good start, good for my balance and good for my ego too.

There is only one bonus feature in the Samba Carnival video slot game and it is called the Bongo Bonus. To activate this feature you need 3 drum symbols and you have to pick one set of drums to win a cash prize. It is possible to win 150 x bet in this feature, but for some reason I enjoy more the base game. Maybe because I have never won anything more than 10 x bet in this bonus round so it is more of like a distraction to me.

Samba Carnival is an amazing slot. I have played it many times and I was always satisfied with the outcome so I would recommend this game to everyone.

For some time now I've been developing a taste for slots inspired by the carnival in Rio de Janeiro, not only because they always show pictures of very sexy women, but because these games usually come with lively music and all kinds of elements that usually spread joy creating thus an optimistic climate that will certainly help us to get better results in the game.

"Samba Carvinal" is a slot of 5 x 3 reels manufactured by the company "Play'n Go" in which any of its 7 standard symbols may appear stacked, 3 of these symbols have garotas’ images and they have the highest payouts, the other 4 are images of fruits and fairly low prices, although it is more common to see such fruits than garotas stacked massively. This slot is characterized as very dynamic and this is because even with 15 paylines Play'n Go configured this game to validate hits made from left to right, from right to left and further hits made on 3 central reels, additionally there are 4 wilds with multipliers 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x, that despite of not occurring so often on the reels they have a very good potential for generating pretty decent payouts.

I initially liked this game very much, cash flowed pretty fast and my impression was of being in a system of a very fair play, and that always was that way while I kept my bet levels low, then my perception of this was slowly changing as they was going up these levels, had it not been this way my rating for this game would have been excellent; still, I think "Samba Carnival" is a very interesting video slot, you just have to learn to use it while the balance is tilted in our favor and then if we see that this changes just to leave. I forgot to mention the pick bonus that we are entitled upon the occurrence of 3 samba scatters, most of the awards I've gotten through this feature have been small, but once I got a great big win, I guess one out of three scatters has a bigger prize. Based on what it was stated earlier, I believe that "Samba Carnival" is a pretty fun game, but I think it is more suitable for low rollers than for high rollers.
