Core mechanics
Body Bags can reveal symbols, Wild Freakshow Posters or Freak Coins. Tips Buckets collect coin values across the grid; according to the studio, landing multiple Buckets accumulates collections and clears spaces for another spin. The game uses a 5x6 grid layout.
Free Spins and multipliers
The Free Spins feature is triggered by Scatter combinations:
Three Scatters award “Cheap Thrills” (eight spins).
Four Scatters unlock “Main Attraction” (10 spins).
Five Scatters unlock “Full Freak Mode” (12 spins) with a 4x Global Multiplier.
Additional modifiers appear during play: Cannons add coin spaces, Mallets increase the Global Multiplier by 1x, and Free Spins Tickets add spins.
Bloodbath, bonus buys and Tempt Fate
The Bloodbath feature fills the entire 5x6 grid with Freak Coins, Scatters, Tips Buckets and Mallets, applying the Global Multiplier to the final result. There are Buy Bonus options to enter Cheap Thrills and Main Attraction directly. The “Tempt Fate” option randomly awards either a Free Spins bonus or the Bloodbath feature.
"Carnival of Freaks is the sort of place you probably shouldn't visit, but once you're inside, you'll want to see what the next attraction has in store," said Danny Gordon, Head of Studio at DEGEN Studios.
Danny Gordon added that "the fun is in how everything builds" and described how Freak Coins, Tips Buckets, Cannons and Mallets interact up to Full Freak Mode and Bloodbath. The studio presented the title as an experience in which the attractions raise tension and rewards.
