Midnight Show

Midnight Show is the latest release from the development team at Evoplay Entertainment which may make you think that you are going to join a cabaret show, however, the truth is that this new slot offers a circus styled theme. All slots from Evoplay are always created to the highest of standards and this slot follows suit. Everything in terms of design is superb, and although the pay outs may not be quite as enticing as what competitors are offering you are guaranteed great fun with some outstanding action along the way.

Midnight Show Overview

When it comes to the visuals there is no doubt that this is based on a circus theme as there are fortune tellers, acrobats and all sorts of mystery and mayhem. The slot is set at night which adds to the fun and mystery which personally I really liked but I must stress that this circus is a form of adult entertainment and has not been created with small children in mind.

Gameplay & Symbols

This slot is played out using a 5x3 reel set and is complete with 20 active pay lines, making this a standard configuration that is shared with a lot of games that fall within this genre. Midnight Show provides you with a chance to win the top jackpot which equates to 631x your stake and the developers have announced that this slot falls in the category of medium volatility with a return to player that stands at 96.10% which is average for slots nowadays.

There are some great features on offer, and these include a Bonus Wheel, scatters, a variety of wilds and free spins which will plenty of opportunity to land some worthwhile wins. When it comes to the symbols you can expect to come across golden tickets, masks, two wilds that are represented by the Showman and the Beauty, perfume bottles, a jack in a box, drums, crystal orbs and the usual four playing card symbols although these so have some beautifully drawn wild animals on them.

Wagers and Prizes

Once you are ready to place your bet you can choose from a minimum of $0.10 which will not only spin the reels but will also ensure that all of the 20 lines are active in the game, on the other end of the scale is the maximum bet which stands at $500 for a single spin. With this bet range this slot will appeal to a wide audience from beginners to high rollers. Prior to this slot being released it had to undergo a variety of tests and it has been tested using 500 million spins simply for the developers to understand the potential that the slot can produce. The data that they have been able to collate from this testing confirms that the game comes with a medium volatility and is capable of paying up to 631x your stake during the free spins, although during paid rounds the best you can expect is 53x your stake, however that is adequate. You will be pleased to hear that the hit frequency is high at 46% and the return to player is more than adequate standing at a solid 96.10%.

Midnight Show Features

When it comes to features, Midnight Show offers features that are activated by the symbols and random events. In these events you will come across Hocus Pocus which is a feature that has three outcomes, and it can appear on your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th reels. The symbols that are hidden behind the circus curtain will transform into a single symbol.

There are two scatters on offer in this game with the first being present in the Bonus Ticket feature. If you manage to land this at the same time on your 1st, 3rd, and 5th reels you will activate the Bonus Wheel feature. One of the two scatters present in the game, is the Bonus Ticket. Land it at the same time, on the reels 1, 3 and 5, to trigger the Bonus Wheel feature. The Bonus Wheel feature begins with you choosing a colour from you reel and this will be either blue or red and this provides more spins if the colour is the one that you have chosen. When the feature comes to an end you will be paid out the total multiple of the bet you have collected.

The second scatter is represented by the pair of masks and these will also appear on the same three reels as the Bonus Ticket feature and again you must land all three to be rewarded with the free spins feature. In this feature there are additional feature symbols on offer, and these include the Beauty and Showman wilds which show up separately on different reels, which are your 1st and 5th. When the wilds land they begin to move in opposite directions, and you will be rewarded with re-spins along your way until you get to the other side of your screen. If the wilds meet on your reels, they will morph into merged wilds which then stay in the position they are occupying until the feature comes to an end.

Conclusion

There is no denying that Midnight Show is beautifully presented, however this is something that players have come to expect from any slot from Evoplay Entertainment. Although the slot may appear complicated once you have spun the reels a few times you will see that it is straightforward and offers some excellent win potential. Even though the pay outs may not be as high as you may like the average return to player and well above average hit rate there is no chance for you to get bored as the game is propelled forwards at a good pace.

I really enjoyed playing this slot and would recommend it to all, however, I do feel that the developers have created the slot with casual players in mind, as it is not only a great deal of fun to play but the wins and volatility do not get to the levels that experienced players may have come to expect. If I had to rate the game, I would see it as a solid 7/10 but give it a spin or two I do not think you will be disappointed.
