As you'd expect from a slot based on one of the world's biggest carnivals, Samba Brazil doesn't shirk on sounds or visuals. In addition to the standard playing card symbols, Samba Brazil's reels include a variety of musical instruments, fire eaters and the famous carnival dancers. The on-screen action is accompanied by a drum-heavy soundtrack with blasts of whistles for every winning spin.
The carnival queen acts as the wild symbol and can expand into a stacked wild on reels 2, 3 and 4. The expanding wilds appear on a fairly regular basis and offer plenty of opportunities to secure a decent win. Find a payline featuring five wilds and a massive jackpot of 5,000 times your bet awaits.
The main feature is the Samba Music Bonus feature which is triggered when 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. You'll be presented with a selection of maracas each of which contains a cash prize, multiplier or free spins. Choose from the instruments on offer then continue with whatever extras you've won. It's possible to retrigger more free spins so keep an eye out for those scatters. 5 scatter also offers a 100x multiplier on your bet.
The final thing to watch out for is the Mixed Pay feature - you don't have to hit all of the same symbol to create a winning payline. It's possible to combine the head symbol and the hips symbol and still have a winning combination. These mixed combos must start from reel 1. They can be good payers with a five combination payline paying out 750 times your line bet.
Samba Brazil is all about entertainment. The gameplay is smooth and the visuals and samba-style backing track make it a joy to play. The bonus features aren't too shabby either offering a decent combination of features. Manage to match the expanding wilds, free spins and multiplier in a single combination and Samba Brazil is one party you really won't want to miss. If you like expanding wilds, there’s no better slot than Black Knight II by WMS which can give you up to 3 expanding/sticky reels in the feature for huge wins.
