Cirque de la Fortune review
Cirque de la Fortune puts a wheel in the middle of the circus. In this Red Tiger release from August 2020, a Win Wheel triggers at random, and each of its four outcomes changes the board: turning reels wild, adding juggled wilds onto the grid, expanding a symbol or clearing low-paying symbols away. The free spins then add a second wheel for multipliers. The base grid is 6x4 with 30 win lines, and the catalogue rating is High volatility.
The Win Wheel
The wheel is the heart of the base game. It triggers at random and activates one game feature per trigger. The studio lists the bet range as €0.10 to €50.00 for a 6x4 grid with 30 win lines. Because the trigger is random and not tied to a symbol, there is nothing to aim for: the feature arrives, or it does not.
Wildfire
At least one reel turns into wild symbols. Wilds stand in for other symbols, so this outcome gives the spin more chances to form a win.
Juggling
Wild symbols are added to the slot. The studio does not say how many.
Magic
A random symbol expands and fills every reel it appears on. It pays when matching symbols are anywhere on the same win line, even in non-adjacent positions.
Disappearing
All low-paying symbols are removed, and high-paying symbols fall into the empty places. The effect is a board with a higher share of valuable symbols for that spin.
Free spins and the second wheel
Three Free Spins symbols award 10 free spins, and each additional symbol adds 5 more. During the round a second Multiplier Wheel joins the Win Wheel, and both can trigger on the same spin. The Multiplier Wheel awards a win multiplier of up to 10x and can only be activated on a win in the free spins. The structure points to the free spins as the stage where the larger outcomes are built.
What the numbers say
Cirque de la Fortune has one RTP on record, 95.73%, a house edge of 4.27%. Over the long run that is about $42.70 lost per $1,000 wagered. A 100-spin session costs about $0.85 at a $0.20 bet, $4.27 at $1 and $21.35 at $5.
The listed hit frequency is 25.24%, around one spin in four. The maximum win is 3,471x the bet, which comes to $694.20 at $0.20, $3,471 at $1 and $17,355 at $5.
Where it sits among High volatility games
Nearby entries in the catalogue include Fruit Snap at 95.75% and 3,482x, Doggy Riches Megaways at 95.7% and 3,494x, Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy at 95.69% and 3,319x, and The Wild Hatter at 95.79% and 3,600x. Wings of Ra from 2020 lists 95.69% and 3,166x. Diamond Blitz 2 has the highest ceiling of the group at 4,055x with 95.71%. The 95.73% RTP here sits in the middle of that range.
Pros
- Four different Win Wheel outcomes keep the base game varied
- Free spins add a second Multiplier Wheel of up to 10x
- Hit frequency of 25.24% and a max win of 3,471x
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Wheel features arrive at random, so you cannot plan for them
- The Multiplier Wheel works only in free spins, on winning spins
- High volatility with a 4.27% house edge
Verdict
Cirque de la Fortune builds a circus around two wheels. The Win Wheel changes the board at random, and the free spins add a Multiplier Wheel of up to 10x on wins. The 95.73% RTP and High volatility mean a 4.27% house edge and uneven results, with 3,471x as the ceiling. It is a game to try in the free demo first, then play only with a budget you are comfortable losing.
