Cirque Du Soleil shows are spectacular affairs and Bally has tried to inject some of that awe and wonder into this slot adaptation. Visually, Kooza is impressively done, combining live characters with the drawn symbols.
There's plenty of action on offer too, starting in the base game. Each reel contains stacked mystery symbol positions - these can be replaced by any of the standard symbols. It's possible to replicate the same stacked symbol on multiple reels which offers some decent opportunities. This is known as the Mystery Stacked Reels feature.
Land the Box scatter symbol on the odd numbered reels and you'll trigger the Box Pick Bonus feature - here you'll be presented with 3 boxes. Pick 1 to reveal a cash prize or a spin of the Bonus Wheel feature.
The Bonus Wheel feature can also be triggered by landing the Bonus symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. Once active, spin the wheel. Depending on where the pointer lands, you'll win a standard cash prize, a jackpot prize or you'll trigger the Trickster Free Games Bonus feature or the Wheel of Death Free Games Bonus feature.
Trickster Free Games Bonus feature – first you'll pocket a payout of double your total stake. You'll then be awarded 10 free spins. Look out for the Trickster character who can randomly appear on the reels and upgrade symbols into wilds. The Mystery Stacked Reels are in play during the Trickster Free Spins.
Wheel of Death Free Games Bonus feature – once again a payout of double your stake is paid for triggering this feature. You'll then be awarded between 7 and 12 free spins complete with a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 4x. Between 4 and 15 extra free games can be added to your tally if you land 2 More Free Spins symbols. As in the Trickster Free Spins, the Mystery Stacked Reels are also in play here, boosting your chances of creating a big winning combo.
Land on the Jackpot when spinning the Bonus Wheel and you'll get a shot at winning 1 of 4 jackpot prizes courtesy of the Jackpot Wheel. They range from Mini, Grand and Colossal up to Tres Magnifique.
Cirque Du Soleil's live performances are feasts for the senses and the slot version of Kooza aims high as far as design goes. It may not have the wow factor the live shows but it's still an impressive looking slot game. The features offer plenty of variety too.
If you've seen a Cirque Du Soleil show, then you'll likely want to give Kooza a closer look. If you've not sampled their circus delights before then this slot adaptation is a pretty good place to start. If you like branded titles, Bally also offer you Michael Jackson King of Pop which is excellent.
