Road to Rio RTP and Volatility

8.4 

Medium volatility comes with 96.01% RTP.

It's time to relax a little and dance on one of the beaches of Rio de Janeiro! Bright outfits, fireworks, confetti, and loud music make you forget about your problems. This carnival-themed slot has a friendly vibe and luckily this first impression is not deceiving. Its volatility is at a medium level, which means that combinations here will be created more often than in high-risk games and still bring good prizes. The return is 96.01% which makes the math model more friendly as it is the industry average.

Theme

7 

Carnival begins! It's time to put on a suit, make a beautiful hairstyle and go dancing, or just grab a cocktail and go see the beautifully dancing girls. All actions of the game take place on one of the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Unfortunately, nothing is visible in the background except poorly drawn sand, a river and mountains. It's a pity that the provider decided not to spend a lot of effort on the visual presentation, since most games with this theme look much better.

When you press the Spin button, the reels start spinning and you can create a combination of premium or low-paying symbols at any time. The first category includes 4 beautiful-looking dancers and the second one contains 6 stylized playing card suits. There are also 2 special symbols, Scatter (Drum) and Wild, the first one triggers free spins and the second replaces all standard icons to help you win prizes more often.

If during FS 3 or more trigger symbols appear anywhere in view then you win the same number of free spins which get added to any you have left.

This slot machine has a fairly easy mathematical model that is suitable even for beginners. But If you are not ready to play right now for real money or want to try the test mode of the slot before the real game, then just try its Demo mode right on this page!

Max Win

7 

Have fun at the carnival in Rio de Janeiro and win up to 500x per spin!

500x is the maximum possible win for 1 spin, which is not enough for a game with medium volatility. If you still want to win this prize, all you have to do is wait for 5 premium Yellow Dancer symbols to form a winning combo on a payline. Luckily, there are Wild symbols and free spins with multipliers to help you win faster. Good luck!

Overall Rating

7.5

The Games Company knows how to make beautiful looking games, we've seen proofs in their portfolio but with Road to Rio their art team seems to have decided to just relax. The slot does not have a carnival atmosphere and looks as boring as possible. We also didn't like the low potential.

Now let's talk about the good side of the release. It boasts a perfectly balanced math model and quite exciting bonus features. But then again, why are they here if the player has nothing to strive for? This slot would be much more visible in the market with a higher max win.
