Review
Raise the curtains for the worst circus show in the world. Play’n GO brings you 3 Clown Monty – the travelling clown trio and their fabled gorilla Bite-E, maybe for one night only due to unpopular demand. An eye-raising five-reel act featuring random wilds, wild multipliers of up to x25, second chance scatters, plus two free spins rounds in a highly volatile performance that can lead to wins of up to 20,000 times your bet.
Slot Details
3 Clown Monty is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 10 fixed pay lines. Wins are paid for three to five matching symbols landing on a line from left to right only. You can get tickets to the show on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with a default RTP setting of 96.23%. Be aware of lower RTP versions 94.23% and 91.23% that some casinos will choose. Check the help file to be sure.
Played from the back of the beaten-up circus van, a grubby pin-striped stand props the play area with deep red and gold-laced curtains forming the background. Bumbo, Schmucky and Whatda carry stubble, sinister clown make-up and slightly unnerving demeanours. The reels are cranky and busted, missing lamps, and held together with what looks like sticky tape. 3 Clown Monty has an edgy and realistic cartoon style to its design.
The pay symbols start at the low end with grubby cloth-laden card suits – red hearts, blue spades, green clubs and yellow diamonds – awarding 1x to 2x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by cream pies, the circus van and the clown trio. Hit five on a line to win 5x to 50x your stake. Bite-E, the mighty gorilla, is the wild, substituting for all regular symbols and yielding 50x your stake for five. Scatters have no pay value and serve to activate features or second chance respins only.
3 Clown Monty Slot Features
Would you pay to watch the worst circus show in the world? Some can be so bad that they are actually good again. Play’n GO is taking us from the flashy Golden Ticket 2 show to the 3 Clown Monty, a trio of wannabe circus stars that simply is not funny. However, together with their companion Bite-E, they might just make your visit to the show worthwhile. Various features and multipliers could reward you with up to 20,000 times your bet for the inconvenience.
Much of the gameplay relies on Bite-E and his Wild Multiplier Meter. He sits on top of the reels smoking cigars and usually scaring the audience. But, he might just change his routine in the base game when he lands as a wild on the reels to activate a random Wild Multiplier of x2, x3, x4, x5, x10 or x25. However, only wins containing a wild will benefit from the multipliers and more than one in a combo will see the win multiplied by the value. As he is part of the worst circus show, do not expect him to do it on every occasion.
For once, a teaser spin could lead to something surprising in this seriously unfunny circus show. With teaser spin, we describe the game round where only two scatter land instead of the needed three to trigger a feature. On 3 Clown Monty, two scatters will trigger the Dealer’s Choice. The two will turn into wild scatters and the game will randomly award 2-6 extra wilds or the missing third scatter. Should the Wild Multiplier Meter be active, then any wilds added can turn into multiplier wilds. The latter choice will lead you to the main act of the show.
Hitting three or more scatters organically or via the Dealer’s Choice will trigger the Tears of a Clown Free Spins feature. You will be offered to pick from three choices, each unveiling a random number of free spins. Based on the number of scatters in view, the outcomes can be: 5, 7 or 9 spins for three, 7, 9 or 10 spins for four and 9, 10 or 12 spins for 5 scatters respectively. During the round, Multiplier Meter is active on every free spin with Bite-E adding a random multiplier to any appearing on the reels.
But there is more to this sorry show than meets the eye. Prepare for the grand finale when you land two or more scatters on any free spins as it will trigger the Monty Spins feature. Again, the number of scatters will decide the potential amounts of spins. You will be given again three choices to pick one. Possible outcomes are 4, 5 or 6 Monty Spins for two, 5, 6 or 7 Monty Spins for three, 6, 7 or 8 Monty Spins for four and 7, 8 or 9 Monty Spins for five scatters respectively.
The first thing you will observe is that the wild multiplier active on the triggering spin will be locked in for the duration of the Monty Spins, a feature we have seen on the likes of Legacy of Egypt. The count for the standard Free Spins will be frozen until you finish the Monty Spins.
The main attraction of the final circus act are the Sticky Wilds, which will stay in the position they landed in for all remaining Monty Spins, plus, will have the active multiplier attached. At the end of the Monty Spins, you will be given the chance to win once +3 spins in another Pick-Me round. Get a full line of sticky wilds with a high multiplier and this circus show might just turn into a headlining win extravaganza. The maximum comes in at 20,000 times your bet.
Final Verdict
3 Clown Monty is a fresh circus-themed release from Play’n GO, forecast to be the worst show in the world. However, it turned out rather entertaining thanks to the Wild Multiplier Meter and the Monty Spins. As for the protagonists, they are off to the next town with their travelling circus show ready to be unfunny again. It is a full 3 Clown Monty, after all.
