Samba de Janeiro Slot Review

Everyone’s heard of samba even if most people have yet to experience in real life. It would be stretching the truth to say that this samba-themed slot successfully emulates the real thing. Still, given that most of us are never going to make it to Brazil to experience one of these street parties, online slots based on this concept are probably as close as we’re going to get. Although the graphics and animations aren’t good enough in Samba de Janeiro by Novomatic to transport you to Rio de Janeiro, it is nevertheless a valiant effort.

This is a slot which is unlikely to keep your attention for too long though it does have a few perks to it and there is the potential to win some serious sums from this game, not least when you trigger free spins. It’s just a shame that the remaining symbols including the playing card symbols are so unimaginative. In many other respects, this is a slot that has a lot to recommend about it. If it were brought fully up-to-date and made mobile-compatible it seems safe to assume that many more players would be enticed by this game. Samba de Janeiro is a game which certainly tries its best to convey that authentic Brazilian spirit. It would be fair to say though that in many respects it falls flat.

Party Fever

The design of the Samba de Janeiro video slot isn’t particularly attractive. This is a slot which features a dated interface and whose playing card symbols simply don’t go with the themed symbols of the game. In spite of all this, there are some nice touches here, like the way fireworks shoot from the winning symbols and the light bulbs, brightly coloured, which surround certain symbols.

There is also the stomping soundtrack which helps to bring things to life. In addition, there is the prospect of the gamble symbol which makes it possible to win huge amounts from this slot. The free Samba de Janeiro slot has 20 adjustable paylines and a bet per line which can range between 2 and 500. As a consequence, this means that you can set a max bet of 10,000 coins per spin. This is an insane amount but if nothing else it pave the way for gamblers to record some ridiculously big wins.

Samba Style

Although the design for this slot is less than impressive, when you spin the reels at least the soundtrack is more in keeping with that of a proper Rio samba party. If the gods are on your side and you succeed in triggering free spins, you could wind up very rich indeed. In demo play during this review, over 5,000 coins were one from 12 free spins. Part of the reason for this high number of coins was due to the gamble feature which made it possible to double up some of the wins. The gamble feature is also available in the base game and it is a simple red or black card gamble giving you the chance to double your money or of course to lose the lot.

Other Samba Slots

There are loads of other great slots out there that also have a samba theme including Samba Brazil by Playtech. It is a 25 payline slot which has medium volatility and an RTP of just over 95%. One of the best things about this game aside from the stacked wilds is that there are as many as 25 free spins to be claimed accompanied by a 3x multiplier. Gamblers who are into their samba-themed slots should also try titles such a Samba Brazil or Samba nights which have the same upbeat vibes, vibrant colours and uplifting soundtrack.

A Nice Samba Surprise

As samba themed slots go, this effort from Movomatic is a surprisingly fun one to play once you get into it. Due to Flash the game isn’t fully mobile compatible and it would also be fair to say that the graphics could do with being brought up to date. For its age however this is a slot which is enjoyable and which includes some nice touches and the chance to win some huge sums. Indeed, with the ability to wager as much as 10,000 per spin, this is a game which is likely to appeal to high limits players especially.
