Big Top

Microgaming has quickly made a name for itself in developing old-school slot machine games that remind you of that time your parents went to Vegas. And Big Top is no exception. It has simple gameplay, bold colors, and cartoonish symbols that appeal to all kinds of gamblers – especially the ones who don't love all the hullabaloo of cutscenes and complicated bonus features.

The game have five reels and three rows. There are nine pay lines, which you can check out by mousing over or touching on the indicators that appear on the sides of the reels along the barber-stripe poles. The minimum bet is .25 credits, and the maximum is 45 credits per spin – again, appealing to a wide swath of punters. Icons include royal card symbols for ten, jack, queen, king, and ace, plus the Ringmaster Lion, the Elephant on a tricycle, the ball-juggling Seal, and the Big Top game logo.

A goofy clown in a Dr. Seuss-style hat is the wild in this game, and can substitute for anything you need to make a win except for the scatter. Meanwhile, the monkey is your scatter. When you land at least three on the reels, you'll trigger a multiplier up to 50 times your bet.

There are no bonus features or free spins. Like we said, Big Top is super simple. You spin, you hope for a win, and you spin again.

The dashboard is similarly simple, and any player will be able to understand. On the left side, you'll see how many credits you have. Then there is the number of lines you're betting (we recommend all nine), the number of coins you're betting, the total cost of your bet and how much you've won on the current spin. You can select your bet lines.
