Carnaval Forever review
Theme and Storyline
Carnavale in Rio De Janeiro is one of the
biggest events of the year in the whole continent of South America, the streets are
filled with locals and tourists dressed up in the most flamboyant costumes as floats
drive through the streets and people embrace, kiss and enjoy a caipirinha under the
city's lights.
This then is the setting for Carnaval Forever, Betsoft’s Latin themed
celebration of Rio’s carnavale.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations
As
befits so outlandish an event, the slot machine is a riot of colour with the symbols
being either sparkly Ace to Jack symbols or else sparkly humans in classic carnivale
style costumes. The backgrounds are similarly bright and anarchic.
Accompanying this is
a Latin rhythm on the soundtrack and plenty of noise for the spinning reels and win
chimes. It is a fun bright design that thoroughly evokes its theme.
Gameplay
For all
its elaborate design, the gameplay for Carnaval Forever is somewhat lacklustre. It is a
basic ten winline, five by three slot with a very simple bonus game.
It does have a
double or nothing gamble feature, allowing you to risk half your winnings or all of
them. And like several of Betsoft’s output, Carnaval Forever allows you to purchase the
free spins feature (see below for full details on the feature) for a standard buy in of
one hundred times your bet per spin.
However, Betsoft’s version of this increasingly
popular feature also adds the twist that every now and again in the base game a coin
will fall on the reels. These coins reduce the price of the free spins bonus. If you
collect enough coins the free spins will start automatically for free.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins
If you don’t want to buy your way into the free
spins bonus in Carnaval Forever you can do so by hitting the Queen of the Carnaval
symbols which will grant five, seven or nine free spins depending on whether you hit
three, four or five of these symbols anywhere on the reels.
Hitting the Queen of
Carnaval during the free spins will award an additional 2 free spins per symbol every
time a symbol lands.
You can buy the bonus feature in Carnaval Forever slot
This is the
only special symbol as Carnaval Forever does not even have a Wild symbol.
Bet Sizes,
RTP and Variance
The return to player of this game is a perfectly adequate 96.22%.
The
range of bet on the site we tested was €/$/£0.10 per spin up to €/$/£100.00 per
spin.
The volatility of this game is medium, but can be ramped up by using the gamble
feature.
Paytable for top paying symbols
Conclusion
Carnaval Forever is a nicely built
slot with great design choices. If you don’t mind the limited features it might be a
good slot for you.
To match it with our strategies we would recommend you using the
double or nothing feature.
