Mask Carnival

Worldwide there are plenty of parties that attract revellers every year, but only one can take the honour of being the classiest. It’s known for elaborate costumes and masks, and most believe it dates back to the Middle Ages. It’s so popular that about 3 million people make their way to Venice on Shrove Tuesday to take part in the festivities. Venice Carnival is celebrated in PG Soft’s Mask Carnival. 

 

Join the party

Legend has it that the Venetian Carnival was created to protect the residents of the City of Bridges. It was said to bring health and wealth for the following year. One of the most important aspects of the festival is the contest for the most beautiful mask. Masks feature a lot in this 5x3 video slot. In the background, you’ll hear an operatic track to help set the mood. In Mask Carnival, you’ll have the chance to win up to 20,000x your bet. Play for as little as €0.20 your bet, or as much as €20.  

 

The guest list

As you might expect a game playing tribute to the Venetian Carnival, the symbols are beautifully and intricately designed. The wild is a red and gold jester’s mask wearing a multi-tipped joker’s hat, complete with golden bells. He’s not only the wild but also the highest-paying symbol in the game.  Five jesters will reward you with 5x your bet. The next highest-paying symbol is also a red and gold mask, this time without the hat and with a blue frilly collar. The most contemporary mask on the board is a purple cat mask, it’s also the next highest-paying symbol. Next up are the white Medico Della Peste (Plague Doctor) and classic aqua and gold Columbina masks. The low-paying symbols are A, K, Q, J and 10. The scatter is the Rialto Bridge (the oldest bridge spanning the grand canal in Venice). 

 

Celebrate into the night

Mask Carnival has a few features to help you get the party started.

Verdict

Although you can play Mask Carnival in iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, OS and HTML5 it is ideally optimized to play on your mobile. Like all other PG Soft games, there is a lot of effort placed into the back story, which makes Mask Carnival a lot more interesting than typical video casino slots. As a game featuring medium variance, wins won’t always be big, but they do generally hit quite regularly. All in all, Mask Carnival is a fun slot with enough special features to keep it entertaining.
