The base game’s main mechanic is the Avalanche system. After a win, the participating symbols disappear and new ones fall into place. This can create several payouts within one spin when the replacement symbols form further combinations.
Wild symbols play an important role in increasing the multiplier. During an Avalanche sequence, collected Wilds are added to the Win Meter, and every 3 Wilds raise the overall win multiplier by +1. A Sparkle Wild can contain several Wilds in one symbol and advance the meter more quickly.
The Cannon Respin Feature moves Wild symbols to the upper reels and provides another chance to form new combinations. Free Spins continue this mechanic: the Wild collection does not reset until the bonus ends, so the multiplier potential gradually grows. Some versions include Bonus Buy when the operator enables it.
Theme and style
Animal Carnival uses a fairytale carnival theme. Its visual style combines animals, a circus atmosphere, a magician, a forest backdrop and cartoon symbols. The pokie belongs to the animals, carnival, cartoon pokies, fantasy and video pokies categories.
Fantasma Games emphasises movement and visual richness. The game looks light and cheerful, but its mechanics are quite active: Avalanches, wins in both directions, the Wild Meter, respins and Free Spins continually create new ways for a round to develop.
Popularity among players
Animal Carnival may appeal to players who enjoy animal pokies with Avalanche mechanics and bonuses featuring growing multipliers. Instead of a classic 5×3 layout, the game offers a taller 5×6 grid and 10 paylines that pay in both directions.
The pokie may attract players from the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and New Zealand. It particularly suits anyone seeking a Fantasma Games video pokie with Free Spins, Sparkle Wild, Cannon Respin and a maximum win of 5000x.
