Roll up! Roll up! It's time for the main event! Microgaming brings guaranteed entertainments with their circus-themed slot, Big Top.  This fantastic slot aims to harness the thrilling and exciting environment witnessed at the circus and channel it into your own very own gaming experience. Whilst this slot is one of their older offerings, it still provides ample opportunities to score that all-important win.

Our Verdict: Big Top is a 9 pay line slot running across 5 reels and 3 rows.  The developers do a fantastic job of encompassing this huge, bold and vibrant theme in just 9 pay lines.  When you enter this Big Top world, expect to see every hue of colour imaginable.  As you'd expect, the wonderful world of the circus provides the backdrop for this slot machine.  All the symbols used in this game are vivid.  This slot is the perfect choice for anyone on a budget as the betting range remains relatively low, with a maximum bet of just £5. 

The usual lower value 10, J, Q, K and A symbols are no longer clad in their usual drab attire.  Instead, they all have brightly colours costumes which tie in with the theme quite nicely.  If you're looking for a higher value win, then you'll be on the look out to land the special circus performer symbols. Expect to see a wonderful array of talents on display, from a sea-lion and his ball-balancing skills to a daring elephant who is definitely a cycling dynamo.  Your ringmaster is a rather cute lion, and if you're looking to win the top value pay out, you'll need to land multiple Big Top symbols.        

How to Play: This slot is extremely easy to use. You only have to worry about two buttons in this slot game.  One will decide your bet, and the other will spin the slot machine.  Hit the spin button when you're ready to spin those all-important reels! The lack of multiple buttons makes this slot game a great choice for beginners.  However, if you become a master of the regular features of this game and are looking for something a little more advanced, you can hit the expert tab to take advantage of the auto-play feature.  Here, you'll be able to run spins in succession. 

Wild Symbol: In this slot game, the wild clown symbol acts as the wild.  This wonderfully wacky icon will substitute for any symbol in the game except the scatter to complete a winning combination on an active pay line.  This symbol only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4.  It won't, however, complete its own winning combination when multiple wilds appear on your reels.  

Free Spins:  Watch out for the cheeky monkey! In this slot, the crazy scatter monkey works as the scatter symbol.  To activate this bonus feature, you'll need to land 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the game reels.  Three scatter symbols pay 2 spins, four scatters pay 10 spins, and 5 scatters grant you a huge 50 spins!
