Carnival Rush Slot by Betsoft

Three or more Scatters don't just start a bonus - they ask you to pick one. Free Spins or Bonus Spin, your call. Free Spins awards 8, 15, or 20 rounds depending on how many Scatters triggered it (3, 4, or 5), and retriggering inside the round adds 5 to 20 more, capped at 100 total. Bonus Spin is the wilder path: a single spin that feeds into one of three separate mini-games. Hi-Strike Smash puts targets on screen and you break them for multipliers. The Plinko Game drops a ball through a pegboard into multiplier buckets at the bottom. And Multiple Bonus Prizes is a straight jackpot draw - Grand at 5,000x, Major 500x, Minor 50x, Mini 10x.

The buy options split along those same two paths. 60x gets you in with 4 picks from the bonus selection, 40x gives you 6 picks - counterintuitive pricing, but more picks at the lower cost means more chances to land a specific game. BetBooster works as an ante bet at 1.5x your stake, bumping the odds of triggering any feature during base play. Wins still calculate from your original bet size, not the boosted amount.

Nighttime fairground setting, warm golden light spilling from every direction. A red-and-white striped circus tent anchors the left side of the grid, ferris wheel and carnival booths glow behind the reels, city skyline faint in the distance. The 5x4 grid sits inside an ornate golden frame lined with lightbulbs - old-fashioned carnival style, not the usual clean rectangles. High-pay symbols are two female performers, one brunette with a feathered headdress and one dark-haired in a purple outfit, plus a scatter designed as a vintage carnival ticket. Below them: a teddy bear, popcorn bucket, and carousel horse in Betsoft's chunky 3D rendering. Card royals from 9 through A come in gold and teal with decorative swirls.

Four jackpot badges sit permanently across the top of the screen in gold, red, green, and blue. The BetBooster wheel stays parked to the right of the grid - a physical carnival prize wheel with a red-and-white spinner, always visible, always reminding you the ante option exists. Between that wheel, the Plinko board, and the Hi-Strike targets, the bonus rounds play more like arcade games than typical slot features - three different physical interactions wrapped around a 10-payline base.
