Rio Fever

We’ve all heard of the Rio Carnival, while many of us probably have it on our bucket list of parties to attend before we kick the bucket. Some of us will never be able to make it to Rio for this extravaganza and Pariplay has acknowledged this. Therefore Rio Fever slot has been developed for you to get as close to the reel thing as possible and make some festive wins in the process. Free spins, wilds and other bonus features could make this more than just a party.

Pariplay released Rio Fever in 2018 so the visuals should stay fresh for the foreseeable future. The scene is quite sublime as the game opens up with the pay table sitting on an active background. To the left of the reels stands Christ the Redeemer, the famous statue of Jesus that overlooks the Brazilian city. To the right of the reels you’ll see the flashing lights emanating from the city centre. Samba girls are quite prominent on the reels, which will undoubtedly please many players, while mobile play will display the reels just as well as what you would see on desktop and tablet.

The maximum payout that carnival reel goers will be able to put towards their trip to Brazil is £100,000.00. This is just the maximum base payout, however the assistance of bonus play could see this amount go up. This amount is really good when one considers the maximum amount you’ll be able to bet is £40 per spin. There are titles asking for outlandish max bets for jackpots of the same size. One of the blemishes that we picked up is the lowish RTP ratio – 94.7%. Anything below 96% from 2018 onwards could be considered a bit weak.

Feature Symbols

For the players intrigued by the samba girls you’ll find 4 of them on the reels as symbols. They serve as the higher paying icons and are recognisable by their colour schemes – red, gold, blue and green. The dancer dressed in red is the highest paying at a possible 1500x your bet. You will also find a selection of lower paying symbols synonymous with the Rio Carnival, consisting of shakers, a carnival mask, a coconut cocktail, a drum and a dancer’s head gear. The head piece carries the highest value of these symbols at 200x your bet for a 5 of a kind win.

Look out for the wild symbol which carries the most value at 2500x your bet for a possible 5 of a kind win. It will also substitute all regular symbols to create winning paylines. There is also a bonus symbol that is responsible for getting you into those bonus features.

Bonuses and Jackpots

As with all our reviews, let’s have a look at the bonuses. The first thing to note is that the samba girl symbols are extra long symbols, and have the ability to fill an entire reel.

There is 1 randomly triggered bonus features in Rio Fever online slot. This is known as the Random Wilds feature, and can happen on any spin during the game. Fireworks will suddenly appear on the reels to replace symbols with wilds for boosted winnings.

The other bonus features will rely on the player landing the required symbol combinations on the reels. To get these features you’ll need to land 3 or more bonus symbols on the same spin, at which point you’ll be taken to a bonus wheel to give it a spin. The wheel could land on what is called the Samba Parade. This is a feature that awards 7 free spins, with a sticky wild added to the reels for the duration of the feature. The wheel could also land on the Wild Ginga feature, which sees you awarded 3 free spins with expanding wilds taking up to 3 random reels during the feature.

The wheel can also land on win multipliers. There are different sized multipliers, but the biggest one you’ll want to land is a whopping 80x.
