THE GRAND SHOW: SLOT OVERVIEW
Last Updated: July 17, 2024Written by Stephen Cummings
Push Gaming are on a bit of a spree with the number of online slots they have released so far this year and we are always happy to play and review video slots by Push Gaming. In The Grand Show slot, Push Gaming have created a happy and colourful circus theme with plenty of paying symbols including instant payout symbols and jackpot symbols which are useful if you want to trigger any of the five total jackpots in this slot.
The Grand Show is now available to be played at UK slot sites. The SlotsHawk team has already tested and played The Grand Show for real money. Continue reading to find out how our team got on.
THE GRAND SHOW: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
We tested The Grand Show at Casumo casino and played the slot for around 10 minutes (you can see our full playthrough above). Within the first four minutes, we managed to trigger two free spins rounds whilst betting 50p per spin. Each time we triggered 10 free spins. Unfortunately in the first free spins game, we only won £5.10, which was disappointing. However, two spins later we triggered another 10 free spins!
The next 10 free spins were better than the first, although we still didn’t win as much as we would have liked. However, we did match a hat symbol with multiple instant win symbols for a win of £11.50. Following that, we hot a few smaller wins and after our second set of 10 free spins, we cashed another £15.30.
As usual, we continued to play until we reached the 10 minute mark. We did not hit many wins during that time apart from a mini jackpot win of £5 (10x). After around 10 minutes of playing The Grand Show for real money, we made a total loss of £9.60.
THE GRAND SHOW SLOT FEATURES
We are pleased to inform you that The Grand Show is set to offer a decent number of modern slot features.
INSTANT PRIZES AND JACKPOTS
Landing the Collector Symbol (Top Hat filled with coins symbol) will enable you to win Instant Prizes. Instant win prizes range from 1x the bet up to 1,000x the bet. In the bonus game, we managed to win £11.50 from a single spin. Jackpot symbols can trigger any one of a total of five jackpots on offer, the smallest being 10x and the largest being a whopping 10,000x the bet jackpot. When SlotsHawk played, we triggered the mini jackpot for a win of 10x.
FREE SPINS
The Grand Show free spins round is triggered by landing 3+ Scatter Symbols (tickets). In the Free Spins game, there are higher chances of winning Instant Prizes and jackpots.
BONUS GAME
This is triggered when you land Top Hat symbols on reels 1 and 5. The bonus game is set on a 5×8 grid. The bottom row will spin and will push prizes upwards via the Nudge Up feature, if all four rows are filled then the game will award a maximum win.
Full List of Features:
- Free spins
- Bonus game
- Instant prizes
- Jackpot symbols
- Jackpots
- Nudge up
- Boost
- Re-triggers
- Push bet
THE GRAND SHOW RETURN TO PLAYER (RTP) AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
The Grand Show has an adjustable RTP ranging from 96.28% to 94.35%. It may not surprise you that we would advise you to find a casino which offers you the opportunity to play the slot with its optimal 96.28% RTP range.
The maximum payout potential is 10,000x, this can only be triggered by winning the biggest jackpot, however. In the base game, we expect the max multiplier to be 1,000x.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING THE GRAND SHOW FOR REAL MONEY
In terms of strategies for playing The Grand Show slot for real money, there are a few things you can do. To begin, the Push Bet feature can be activated. This makes activating the slots bonus features more likely if you are willing to forfeit a percentage of your initial spin. When we played, we did test this feature but without any luck. Interestingly, without having the Push Bet activated we triggered x2 free spins games within three spins.
It is a good idea to play The Grand Show at a slot site where you will be able to play with the maximum RTP of 96.28%.
EXTRA INFO
The Grand Show has medium volatility/variance and is played on a 5×4 grid with 20 paylines. During the bonus game the grid will expand to 5×8. The minimum bet per spin is 5p and the maximum bet available is £100 per spin. The best features are the Instant Prizes and the Nudge Up feature which increases payouts and multipliers. The Nudge Up feature is only active during the bonus game. The Grand Show was released on 17/07/2024 and is developed by Push Gaming.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“The Grand Show is an excellent slot. The theme is a lot of fun and we are thrilled that there will be separate free spins and bonus games. The only downside is that there are too many low wins during the base game.”
