Theme Park Slot Review
A new slot from NetEnt is usually big news around these parts, and its Theme Park: Tickets of Fortune promises quite a rollercoaster ride of entertainment. From the title of this slot it’s clear its theme intends to capture all the fun of the fair, but what are the Tickets of Fortune it speaks of? We’ll get to that in a bit, but first let’s get into the Park and see what traditional slot entertainment NetEnt have served up this time.
The Theme Park: Tickets of Fortune experience begins with a basegame of five reels stuffed with balloon-like symbols and other iconic carnival sights, plus fifty paylines on which you’ll be hoping winning combinations gather. Entrance to the Park starts at a thrifty £0.25, but there’s plenty of ways to wager on this themed slot up to an extravagant £250 if your pockets are more voluminous than a clown’s.
Within the basegame a couple of extra features add to the fun of the fair. First, a Stacked Wild of three rollercoaster carriages is riding reels 2, 3, and 4, and if luck parks all three to fill their reels after a spin some very big wins can be thrown up. Secondly, the Claw Crane symbol dropping into position on reel five triggers a neat little instant bonus win, very much in keeping with this slot’s fun-fair theme.
A bigger Claw Crane drops down in front of the reels to pluck a soft toy prize into view. We’re pleased to report that, unlike a real-world Claw Crane, this one does actually grab a prize rather than tease you by ineffectually fondling it, and each toy awards an instant cash prize.
This online slot’s main bonus game is where its ‘Tickets of Fortune’ moniker finally becomes clear. The trigger event is when three or more of the Golden Ticket Scatter symbols are in view on the basegame, and commences with three spins of a Wheel of Fortune. Each spin earns you either a fistful of ‘bonus tickets’ or extra spins to accumulate more.
The more tickets you can gather up by the end of this game the better, since these are the currency you will use to play the next stage of this bonus feature. Armed with your ‘book’ of tickets, Theme Park slot then reveals a map of six fairground stalls to play. Your tickets buy you turns on the games of your choice, and each game is a fun fair classic where your success translates into instant wins of real money!
There’s the Punch Bag, Sledge Hammer, Can Tower, Skee Ball, Fishing and Duck Shoot stalls to try your luck at, so plenty of reasons to keep returning to this slot to increase your chances of playing them all.
Verdict
NetEnt has ‘done it again’ with Theme Park: Tickets of Fortune. This slot is fantastic fun and a gift that keeps giving with the six bonus games its Tickets of Fortune feature can unlock. Even the most hard-core slot jockey who relishes the menacing challenge of games like Hitman and Aliens should love a little, breezy fun of the fair, and Theme Park: Tickets of Fortune has that in spades. Roll up! Roll up!
