Graphics, Visuals and Themes

Samba Carnival is based on a flamboyant South American street carnival, and the design of this Play ‘n Go slot reflects the vibrancy of this Brazilian tradition and the tropical nature of the destination. The reels of the game are set against a deep blue and purple backdrop in which bright fireworks, blue and green costume feathers and a starry evening sky can be seen.

The reels and pay table are decorated with a luxurious gold trim to add to the festival theme, and the reel symbols are all brightly and festively coloured, featuring tropical Brazilian fruit cocktails, costumed parade dancers, maracas and samba drums.
