A nightly Brazilian Carnival in the Rio de Janeiro City—thus the Rio Nights title—inspired this January 2019 video slot from Betixon. Themes: Brazilian dance, neon signage, merrymaking, card values, musical instruments, cocktail, and Lent season.

There are free games, a win multiplier, and sticky wandering wilds in Rio Nights whose players should match three, four, or five of its ten (out of eleven) symbols in the 25 fixed rightward winning ways to win from X4 to X600.

Rio Nights Characteristics

Christ the Redeemer—a Brazilian landmark featuring Jesus’ whitish statue at Corcovado Mountain, overlooking the sprawling Rio—is the background of the Rio Night’s 5X3 grid. The purple-partitioned grid has floral purple reels surrounded by orange LED dot lights.

The orange-hued Rio Nights’ special symbols: a substituting colorfully feathered “wild” drum (the landed wilds stick around as they progressively migrate to the leftward reel until they vanish on reaching reel one); and a perched “scatter” toucan whose 3+ symbols offer five wins-tripling free games in a purple-hued background.

The ordinary symbols: floral red-and-brown shakers; colorful carnival mask; smiling carnival queen; and cocktail-embedded neon red A, neon blue K, neon purple Q, neon green J, neon violet 10 and neon yellow 9.

The Rio Nights’ bet sizes: $0.25 (minimum), $0.50, $1.25, $2.50, $6.25, $12.50 and $25.00 (maximum).
