Circus Launch

Game Review

Slot developers keep playing on the highly trending ‘burst’ mechanics, and this is their first foray into the world of innovative crash-style games. For those not in the knows, crash slots offer simple yet engaging gameplay, where players need to predict when to cash out safely before the multiplier curve crashes.

Much like other games in the niche, this one follows the exact same formula but comes with an engaging and unorthodox theme, which is actually a mix of two different themes. As the title implies, it’s about the circus, but the spectacle here is taking place on an asteroid, floating somewhere in outer space. Visually, this is terrific, with high-end graphics, animations, and sounds. Plus, it features six different seasonal skins, making it a perfect game to play all year round. Aside from the default theme, it has the US, St.Patrick's Day, Christmas, summer, and football skins, which should appeal to any kind of audience.

Back to the gameplay, this hardly offers anything new for those familiar other with crash-style games. The concept is simple - you launch an animal astronaut into space, and the aim is to collect the highest possible win before the rocket explodes. You can choose from five different funny characters, including a chicken, a monkey, a pig, a fish, and a panda. However, those are only cosmetic and do not affect the gameplay.

Once you have finished the preparations, click the launch button to start the round. You can play from just €0.5, and the maximum betting option per round is €500. Once the character is fired out of the cannon, the multiplier coefficient starts to grow and keeps building until the rocket explodes, or up to 5,000x. Keep in mind that the rocket can explode at any time and put an end to the game round. In case you do not collect the prize in time, you do not win anything and the bet is lost.

You can collect the accumulated prize using one of the three options:

• Collect Half - collects the accumulated multiplier based on half of the player’s bet, leaving the other half to play further in the round.
• Collect - collects the total win value. If used after the half collection, collects the win with the second half of the bet.
• Auto Collect - collects the win automatically when the set target multiplier value is reached. You can set the auto cash out feature to any amount from 1.25x to 4,000x.

The game’s volatility depends solely on the player’s strategy - the longer you stay without cashing out, the higher the risk. The RTP, however, is a whisker beneath the average level, clocking in at 95.99%.

Review Summary

All said and done, this is a decent alternative to other slots built on the player-favorite crash mechanics. While the gameplay brings really no surprises, the design is just flawless, and the vast selection of characters and seasonal themes is also a plus and is bound to be enjoyed by gamblers. Overall, they have done a pretty good job, and we’re looking forward to seeing what’s next the provider brings to the genre.
