Showers: Circus Edition 2018 Slot Review

How to play Showers: Circus Edition 2018

The Showers: Circus Edition 2018 video slot runs on five reels and three rows with 10 paylines that pay both ways. I like this set-up because lines hit from left to right and right to left, so small hits come fairly often when the reels behave. Gameplay is straightforward, so even if you are new to Spigo titles you can spin a few rounds and get comfortable very quickly.

You set your total stake before each spin, with a betting range from 0.10 to 10 in the currency you use. The game always evaluates wins based on the bet per line, which is your total stake divided by ten. I usually adjust the bet with the plus and minus buttons, then rely on autoplay for longer sessions, while the max bet option works when I want to push the variance.

Symbols and payouts in Showers: Circus Edition 2018

The symbols in Showers: Circus Edition 2018 are all about a lively circus beach party, packed with different women and bright colours. The key one for me is the Hoop Girl, a performer holding a hula hoop who acts as the wild. She steps in for regular icons, but she also triggers the special hoop feature when she lands, which gives this slot its main punch.

Top value symbols are the woman with orange hair and the woman walking a dog, each paying up to 500 times your line bet when you catch five on a payline. Next come groups of women that can pay 300 times your line bet for a full line. I have also had strong hits from the Happy People sign and the DJ view, which reach 250 times your stake per line.

Below these sit the masked woman worth up to 200 times your line bet, and then the lower tier women in dramatic blue and purple outfits, which only pay 20 times per line for five of a kind. The paytable also lists a few filler icons with much smaller rewards, topping out at 2 times the bet for five symbols, with four of a kind paying 1 time and three paying 0.5.

Best Showers: Circus Edition 2018 bonus features

The standout element in Showers: Circus Edition 2018 is the wild hoop feature. When the Hoop Girl lands, she does more than just substitute. The hoop absorbs the symbols directly next to her on the grid and then randomly selects one of them. All adjacent positions change into that chosen symbol, so you suddenly have a cluster of matching icons that can line up for some very tidy wins.

The Hoop Girl appears only on reels two and four, but she can show up more than once on a spin, which is when things really heat up. There are no free spins or extra bonus rounds bolted on here, so this wild feature carries the whole show. As someone who enjoys volatile slots, I like that every hoop drop can reshape the board and throw up a surprise payout.

RTP & volatility in Showers: Circus Edition 2018

The stated RTP in Showers: Circus Edition 2018 sits at 96 percent, which is about standard for an online slot and feels fair across long sessions. Volatility is high, so the hit frequency can be streaky, but the pays are capable of getting serious when the right symbols connect both ways. I tend to treat it as a game for measured, patient play rather than short, casual bursts.

Showers: Circus Edition 2018 Slot Rating

As an experienced slot player, I rate Showers: Circus Edition 2018 higher than many simple five-reel titles, even though it only has one real feature. The both-ways paylines, strong top symbol pays and wild hoop mechanic blend well with the high volatility. Sessions can be swingy, but when the Hoop Girl behaves the slot feels exciting and rewarding, so it earns a solid spot in my regular rotation.
