At the fun fair, you can expect a myriad of smells, sights and sounds, and this online slot game does a great job of capturing the atmosphere. The result is a very colourful and stunningly designed slot game with many features and extras.

To trigger any of the below features, you would need to win the Strength Tester Persistent feature by ringing the fell. When this happens the Ferris Selection wheel will pop up. You will have to spin it to see what feature you have landed. These include:

Duck Shoot

This feature swaps the Strength Meter Symbols and sometimes other random symbols into targets. Once all the targets have been added to the reels, they will be shot and transformed into regular wild symbols.

Fire Eater

The Fire Eater feature transforms all Strength Meter Symbols and Scatter Symbols into 10s before a random symbol is randomly selected. Each symbol that is lower than the selected symbol will be swapped with the selected symbol. Two wild symbols will also be randomly placed onto the reels.

Midway Money RTP

The game’s volatility level is also very high, with the hit frequency standing at an average of 35.5%.

Verdict

No one can doubt that the Midway Money slot game is not a stunning and impressive game. Yggdrasil Gaming, in collaboration with Reel Life Games, has done a spectacular job of bringing the American-style fun fair theme to our screens.

The game comes with a retro feel with it that is reminiscent of 1990s video games. However, it more than compensates with numerous features. The only weakness that we can spot in this game is the fact all the features except for the free spins bonus round can only be triggered by winning the strength tester persister feature first. It is also notoriously difficult to win this round.

Despite its many features, the maximum win only stands at 7,602x your bet, which is technically quite weak for a modern online slot game.

It is a fun game to play, but it can also prove terribly frustrating, especially if you are trying hard to land one of the key features. Since they are hard to activate and the game comes with high variance, you can end up losing track of your bankroll and time.

There is absolutely no guarantee that you will be able to trigger them at all. You could go and play several rounds without winning a prize, so rookie players should take this game with a pinch of salt.
