Nitro Circus

Branded casino slot games can be awesome – just think of titles like Guns ‘n Roses or Creature from the Black Lagoon, both by NetEnt. Players tend to respond positively when two things they enjoy come together through the medium of slots.

With the Nitro Circus slot, launched in late 2018, Yggdrasil hopes to bring a little of that show’s speed and stunts to a casino audience. Have they succeeded? Well, we will let the players be the judge of that. To help you decide, we have put together a slow review for Nitro Circus, so you’ll know what to expect when you start your engines on this casino game.

Nitro Circus bonus features

There are 7 regular symbols on the Nitro Circus reels, including four faces that will be familiar to fans of the show. The lower value symbols include three sport-specific types of helmets like motorcross, biking and skating.

The four high-value symbols are performers that appear in the show with ringleader Travis Pastrana rewarding the most generously, multiplying your initial stake by 20 times when his symbol lands on a full payline.

Read on to learn about the other symbols and how they can help put the nitro in your casino experience!

Wilds

The Wild symbol can substitute for any other symbol on the reels.

Nitro Blast Mini Game

This feature is triggered by symbols called Nitro Bombs. Land two of these to activate the game, where you will get to choose one from five bombs. These can contain:

• Between 10 and 30 free spins rounds
• Nitro Wild – The Nitro Bomb symbols that triggered the feature on the main game screen will explode and will turn between 2 and 9 symbols in their immediate vicinity into Wilds
• One Vehicle will be added to the player’s collection
• Free spins multiplier: During Free Spins only, the total multiplier will be increased by x1, x2 or x3
• Extra spins: During Free Spins only, this awards 1, 2 or 3 additional spins

If the player lands 3 or more Nitro Bomb symbols in the same spin, additional goodies can be unlocked. Land 3, 4 or 5 Nitro Bomb symbols to receive 10, 20 or 30 free spins and one, two or three feature picks, respectively.

Nitro Circus Free Spins

Free Spins are triggered through the Nitro Bomb symbols and can have a multiplier factor as well.

Vehicle Collection feature

There are four types of vehicles to collect during the base game, minigame and the Nitro Jump feature. These are a bath tub, toy car, rocking horse and an armchair. Each one has its own benefits, such as the kind of tricks it can do, the size and boost range.

Bigger vehicles collect more coins while airborne. Stronger boost will land you a higher multiplier on the final jump and cooler tricks will impress the judges and improve your score from them. Collect 5 identical vehicle symbols to trigger the Nitro Jump feature, where all these factors will come into play.

Nitro Jump feature

There are two ways to trigger this feature. The first is by collecting 5 identical vehicle symbols. The other way is to land the symbols that spell out the word ‘NITRO’ in one spin. In the latter case, the player can select one of

three bikes to perform their Nitro Jump.
This event is comprised of 3 stunt jumps and a final Boost jump. Judges will give scores on the stunt jumps and these translate to coin wins. Players can also collect up to 6 of the following features during the stunt jumps:

• 25 coin win
• Final Jump multiplier
• 10 free spins
• Speed boost in Final Jump

Once the stunt jumps are completed, the final jump comes next. During this jump, players can choose to add a manual speed boost, which can improve the jump and land a better multiplier. However, players must remember that adding the manual boost also increases the risk of the rider crashing and losing any active multipliers.
