How the Game Plays

Dancing in Rio brings the vibrant energy of the world-famous Brazilian carnival to the reels. This slot features a 5x4 grid filled with flamboyant dancers, maracas, and champagne bottles, all set against a backdrop of festive lights. Wins are formed by landing matching symbols across the 40 fixed paylines, with the top-tier carnival dancers appearing as stacked symbols to help generate larger combinations. The most distinctive aspect of the base game is the use of color-coded backgrounds—specifically green and red—that can appear behind any symbol.

Free Spins Explained

The bonus round is triggered by landing three or more Mask scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Depending on the number of scatters, you can start with 10, 20, or even 50 free spins. During the feature, the game uses a separate set of reels designed to increase winning potential. Retriggers are possible, and special bonus symbols can land to award additional spins in increments of 2, 5, 10, or 20, allowing for exceptionally long bonus sessions.

Jackpot Features Explained

This title is famous for its six-tier jackpot system: Mini, Minor, Major, Mega, Burst, and Surge. These are won through the color-coded background mechanic rather than standard symbols. To win the lower jackpots, players must land specific combinations of green backgrounds on reels 1 through 4. The top award—the Surge Jackpot—is triggered when the first four reels are entirely covered in green backgrounds and the fifth reel is entirely red. Depending on the bet level, this top prize can be a fixed 25,000x multiplier or a progressive jackpot.
