Before you start playing the Circus slot machine game you need to choose a character. Each character has varying levels of the following four abilities: Strength, Courage, Balance, and Showmanship.
These abilities will influence your winnings in the Circus slot machine game.
You can earn further ability points from certain reel symbols, and the Circus Bonus Feature games.
Your ability levels increase your win multiplier, so the longer you play the higher your winnings.
When an ability symbol appears anywhere on the reels, 1 ability point is awarded for the respective ability.

Wild Symbol
The Ring Leader symbol is a wild symbol. This means that the Ring Leader wild symbol acts as a substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations.
Multiple Ring Leader wild symbols on an enabled payline create winning combinations as shown in the "Regular Payout Schedule".
The Ring Leader wild symbol does not substitute for the Circus Tent symbol to complete winning scatter combinations or to activate the Circus Bonus Feature games.
Note: Only one winning combination is paid out per payline. If there is more than one possible winning combination on a payline, you are paid out the value of the highest combination only.

The Circus Tent symbol is a scatter symbol. This means that the Circus Tent scatter symbol does not need to appear in a line on an enabled payline to win.

Winnings are calculated by multiplying the Circus Tent symbol combination payout, as shown in the "Regular Payout Schedule", by the total number of coins bet.

The Ring Leader wild symbol does not substitute for the Circus Tent symbol to complete winning scatter combinations or to activate the Circus Bonus Feature games.
