At first glance, you might think that the name of this game is a typo, but I assure you that it's not. You're thinking "Carnival" with circus freaks, wild rides, too much candy floss and pop and big teddy bear prizes. This is Carnaval, also known as Mardi Gras, the massive festival that goes down in the week before Lent.
Accordingly, all of the imagery used has an air of celebration about it. We have colourful banners, trumpets, masked dancers and painted clowns. Even the background music for this game continues the theme with cheerful carnaval music.
Having said that, my feeling is that what Microgaming have designed here is a slot title that gently removes some of the complexity found in any of the other titles. This is a game you want to play if you're a newcomer to the whole concept of multi line slots.
It can also be something to try out if you're a bit short stacked, because it only allows a maximum of nine coins on each spin. Betting starts at just five cents, too, although when you feel a bit braver you can ramp it up to a dollar.
The maximum possible jackpot on this game is 5,000 coins, which is nothing to sneeze at either. It has five reels and pays out on nine different lines, depending on how many you have activated on a given spin.
It does implement a wild symbol which is the Carnaval logo itself. You can use the wild symbol to complete almost any line, but it doesn't act as a multiplier in this game.
There's also scatter symbol, which to make things easy is simply labelled "Scatter." Three or more scatters kicks in an automatic win, but doesn't get you any free spins. However, the three scatters can be anywhere, on any reel, on any line, which does make things a bit easier.
All in all, a great game to try out while you find your online casino legs.

A pretty well-known video slot, in the ranks of fans of the provider Microgaming. This is a classic 9-line slot with average coefficients on the winning lines. I played it several times, and the maximum that I won, it was x150. In principle, not bad for this type of slots.

9 lines slots are underestamated and not easy to play. It takes a lot of experience and a good concept for them. The 5 scatter pays only 50x, yes, true but they are not that seldom. I could not get friendly with the slot, sorry, do not like it and wont play it any more. The graphics are old school and nothing that can keep...

5 scatters pays only 50x bet?? And wilds have no own paytable at all? That is horrible! And not even any bonuses or free spins available to trigger? This must be one of the worst game of all time. The symbols are also low paying, that added to a fact that it is a 9 liner slot which makes it harder to hit wins.

This is a very colorful slot, I really like playing here because of the colors and characters, I feel great! I like the simple slots sometimes, I never use to, but because I play busy slots most times, and my eyes are all over the games looking for wins, and seeing what is going on, I like a change of pace lately, and come to these kinds of slots to slow down and find peace, then go back to the busy slots. I am glad they still have these slots like Carnaval, I like them.

Whilst Carnaval has a reputation as being something of a 'classic' Microgaming game, it hasn't stood the test of time very well in my own opinion.

Whilst Carnaval has a reputation as being something of a 'classic' Microgaming game, it hasn't stood the test of time very well in my own opinion. It's relatively low variance and if, as stated in the review above, there really is a zero payout for a full line of wilds that is unforgivable in my book - most of these nine line games where it isn't mentioned on the paytable a full line of wild will give you the same as the highest paying symbol. I've never hit it so cannot say with authority. If your a fan of the old nine line games though, you might enjoy trying this one, but personally I would skip it and head straight for Thunderstruck or Break da Bank Again.

This is an old and became a classic MG slot. This slot has no large payouts and difficult to get rich from it, but it is also difficult to lose a lot of money on it.
