A short story from the game world
A dancer in a feathered headdress turns once and the street behind her decides to become a parade. It was going to happen eventually.
Carnaval sets a dancer in a feathered headdress against a dark ground; she turns once and the street behind her becomes a parade. The dark backdrop is what keeps the rich feather colours readable, and the game runs on five reels and 9 paylines.
Only the Party theme is listed in the hub, with no named features. Its line count, RTP and low volatility match Big Top, released about a month later, so the two make a useful pair for seeing how theme and stake range differ on near-identical numbers.
The published RTP is 96.94% with low volatility and a stake range of 0.25 to 225, and the release date is 2 July 2013. A far higher maximum bet than Big Top is the main numerical difference between them; spread and long-run return are listed as the same.
Microgaming effectively wrote the grammar of the online slot, and that depth still shows in every corner of the screen. The silhouette of a single symbol, the order of a paytable, the cue that marks a change of state — nothing here is left half-finished. Almost no other studio carries decades of formats, from classic three-reel machines to 117,649-way Maxways boards, in one library without the design language coming apart. If you are studying how these games are built, this is the most reliable text you can read.
- Built as a fixed paylines game on 5 reels and 9 paylines. 1,128 titles here share this format, so it is a well-covered one to learn from.
- Its published RTP of 96.94% sits 0.68 points above the 96.26% median of the other 1,099 fixed paylines games here. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a per-session one.
- The studio grades it low volatility, which 11% of fixed paylines games here share. Volatility describes the spread of outcomes, not how often a result arrives.
- Its artwork reads as music & party, which is how it is grouped for the structure-match panel below.
- A studio-published play-money demo is embedded above, as it is for 116 other Microgaming titles here.
Microgaming does not publish win cap for this title, so that field is left empty rather than estimated.
