How to Win on Carnival in Rio

There are 50 win lines on the original slot, and a full 100 on version 2. When you combine this with stacked wilds, which are the logo symbols, this gives you a lot of opportunities to make big wins. Most of your bigger prizes will come when you cover a lot of the screen in one symbol (even wilds), as is the norm for casino slots these days.

You will find 4 dancers on the reels, which all come stacked. This means they will often cover entire reels. Each one is a different color with light blue, green and yellow all featuring. These reels also have an area from which each dancer came from. When you make a win with the yellow dancer, you will hear ‘Copacabana’ as one example.

Casino with gaming tables and slot machines. The casino has its own bar. Open on sea days from 7:00 a.m.

The rest of the winning symbols are playing cards, though these have been decorated to fit in with the theme. They are bright and loud with masks, jewels and fireworks all around them. While the wins are smaller, these can still come in very useful – especially during the free spins bonus game where you can hit a lot of wild symbols.

Free spins symbols are bright green, and can appear anywhere on the reels. You need 3 or more to trigger the 7 free spins bonus game and a small scatter win.

On-Reel Feature in Carnival in Rio 2

If you are playing the updated version, then you can find yourself enjoying ‘Samba Wilds’ at any time. You will see a dancer in full costume walk across the reels (well, dance across the reels would be more accurate). She livens up the music with a samba tune. After she has gone, all of the dancers on the reel for that spin turn into wilds – making for potentially very profitable spins.

Spring Carnival Slot Machine

All 3 versions of Carnival in Rio share the same free spins bonus game. Here you get 7 free spins, and a dramatic rise in the volume and intensity level of the music. This might seem like a smaller number of spins than you’d enjoy on many slots, however they come with a potentially very profitable added extra. For the duration of your spins, all of the dancers are wild, creating wins with any symbols (except the free spins ones). The usual logo wilds are still very much in play, which means you will find many spins with a good coverage of wilds. It is possible to trigger 50 (on the original game and HD version) or 100 (on the updated Carnival in Rio 2) wins at the same time during this bonus game.

If you hit 3+ of the free spins symbols while the bonus is ongoing, then you’ll get 7 more spins added to your total.
