Dancing In Rio Slot Review

Get your feathers out for some Rio action

Williams have created a bright and vibrant game which compels you to play for multiple jackpots as you spin this Dancing In Rio slot machine.

Carnival slot themes have been done before, we’ve seen them before in the Playtech Football Carnival and Play’n GO Samba Carnival slots. And right bang of the Rio Olympics 2016 WMS have decided to bring out their very own version of a Brazilian inspired slot machine.

Coincidence? Probably not.

Set on the backdrop of multi-coloured feathers, this Dancing In Rio slot gives you 5 reels with 40 paylines littered with detailed slot symbols of female dancers enjoying the music and fiesta.

The highest paying symbol is the Rio Queen wearing the yellow headdress, and she comes stacked four symbols tall, whilst the two other females come as individual symbols. You’ll also find the drum banging blue man, as well as A – 9 lower paying symbols.

Then there’s the fact that the background colour of each reel will can change from purple to green which is how you win multiple smaller jackpots, as well as that big progressive jackpot prize.

Go Dancing In Rio with stacked wilds

The Wild symbol in many online slots generally gives you the ability to increase your hit rate by providing more winning combinations, and that is certainly true here.

The Brazilian flag inspired Dancing In Rio slot logo is wild, and comes stacked across all five reels. It has the ability to substitute for all the other symbols across the reels apart from the feathery scatter mask symbol which triggers the free spins.

Mixed with the stacked high paying symbol, the wilds can create some decent wins, but more often than not you can expect smaller wins during the base game of around 2x – 5x your bet.

And then there’s the free spins bonus.

Win 50 free spins or more

The flamboyant feathered mask symbol is what will trigger the Dancing In Rio free spins bonus.

Find three or more and you’ll get at least 10 free spins. Plus, depending on the amount of symbols that trigger it and the values on them, a whole load more.

Each mask will either have no value, +2, +5, +10 or +20, which indicates how many extra free spins you will get on top of the standard.

• 3 Masks = 10 free spins + any extras
• 4 Masks = 20 free spins + any extras
• 5 Masks = 50 free spins + any extras

More often than not you will trigger just 10 free spins; at least that’s what we’ve found anyway.

These haven’t always given us the best results either, with around 10 – 20x our bet wins, but they do seem to show up rather frequently for online jackpot slot games.

How to win the Dancing In Rio jackpot

There’s actually 6 jackpots up for grabs here, and depending on how much you bet will determine which of the two top jackpot prizes you could win.

Betting below 2.00 per spin will activate the Surge Jackpot which will give you 25,000x your total bet, where as if you bet above 2.00 per spin you’ll activate the progressive jackpot with an even bigger prize to be won.

Then there’s the other 5 smaller jackpots that provide you with:

• Pulse Bonus Jackpot awards 500x total bet
• Burst Bonus Jackpot awards 125x total bet
• Major Jackpot awards 37.5x total bet
• Minor Jackpot awards 25x total bet
• Mini Jackpot awards 20x total bet

Each of the smaller jackpots is won by finding a pattern of full green and purple reel backgrounds on a spin.

The two main jackpots require you find the first four reels to have green backgrounds and the fifth reel to have a red background.

All of which is easier said than done, and you’ll come tantalisingly close to those smaller jackpot wins on many spins.

Is Dancing in Rio online slot worth a spin?

As far as mobile and online jackpot slots go, this Dancing In Rio game won’t make you a millionaire.

But, the vibrant colours and festive music on each spin can be quite catchy and will definitely keep you focused.

With a unique way to trigger the jackpot prizes, you get close enough to feel the excitement, but you’ll have to budget wisely to win anything really big.

If you are lucky enough to find those free spins scatters with more than 10 free spins then you’ll get some decent returns, but don’t be disappointed if you only get around 10x – 20x your bet on most rounds.

The betting range from 0.40 up to 50.00 per spin gives all players the chance at a spin or two.

However, the fact you have to bet over 2.00 per spin to win the bigger progressive jackpot might not be worth it for some, in which case games like Hall of Gods and Mega Moolah offer you the chance to win Millions with smaller bets.

But if you can afford it, then it’s time to put on your best feathery dress and head out to the carnival for some festive spins.
