Harlequin Carnival

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 14 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base gameFive reels of three cells framed by two marble arches, caryatids and garlands of roses, in a Venetian carnival setting. Two engraved pediments announce HARLEQUIN RESPIN on the left and HARLEQUIN BONUS on the right, either side of a mascaron. The cells mix gilded card suits — club, spade, heart, diamond — with painted masks: moon, cat, foliage, a sun with a woman's face. A harlequin in a red and purple costume, tricorne and black mask, fills the whole third reel, labelled WILD top and bottom with x1 at her feet; a masked face in a tricorne carries the word BONUS on the fourth. Bet of €1, balance of €10,000, PLAYING FOR FUN notice.
Game rules, page 1First page of the rules panel: the game introduces itself with three features — Harlequin xNudge Wild, Harlequin Respin and Harlequin Bonus — on five reels of three rows, twelve symbols and twenty win lines. The list of theoretical returns opens with the game's own, ahead of that of the Harlequin Bonus buy, and the simulated maximum payout is given with its frequency, one round in ten billion. The Wild substitutes for every symbol but Bonus, and only the highest win on each line is paid.
Game rules, page 2"Pay table" page: at the top, the WILD harlequin at full reel height, with her medallion version alongside, showing a single tier, 15.00 for five symbols at a €1 bet. To the right, the card of the sun with a woman's face pays 15.00, 2.50 then 0.50. A second row of masks — moon, cat, blue beak, foliage — begins at the bottom of the frame, its amounts out of shot.
Game rules, page 3The same rules page, scrolled to the bottom: after the two theoretical returns, the simulated maximum payout and the twenty win lines come the paying rules — combinations from leftmost to right on adjacent reels, coinciding wins added up, reel configuration varying with the mode — then the operating clauses: rounds left seven days are closed, autoplay settings, a reset after twenty-four hours when playing in cryptocurrency.
