Cursed Circus
Cursed Circus is a haunted big-top slot from Ava Studio, played on a 5x5 grid where matching symbols tumble away and exploding props leave multiplier tags on the board.
By the Reel Bulletin desk · Updated 5 Nov 2026
The setting is a circus gone sour. The Ringmaster, Killer Clown, Strongman and Fortune Teller pay the most, with a Ticket, Juggling Pin, Balloon and Clown Horn at the lower end. The raven acts as wild and the top hat is the scatter. There are no paylines on the 25-cell board: seven or more matching symbols anywhere form a win.
Each win clears, the symbols above slide down and new ones drop in, repeating until nothing more connects. At that point cannonballs and Jack-in-the-Boxes go off, blasting cells and marking them with multiplier tags; a win that touches tagged cells is multiplied by the total of those tags. During free spins, a curse meter builds and eventually fires the Circus Cannon across the entire board.
The RTP is 96.20% in every mode, with a 10,000x top win and very high volatility. Ante costs 1.5x and Super Ante 3x, and the buys run from Bonus at 100x through Super Bonus at 300x and Mystery at 500x to Mega Bonus at 1,000x. With the return fixed, the menu only changes the cost of each attempt.
