Masks, rubies and golden books: the story of carnival symbols

Street carnivals and slot games share a language: masks, bright colours, sparkle and a little mystery. Here are the stories behind the symbols of our four games.

The jester

Court jesters were the licensed rule-breakers of medieval Europe, and carnival masks kept their spirit alive. On playing cards the jester became the joker — and in Energy Joker he crackles with lightning.

The ruby

Red gems have long stood for passion and celebration. A single faceted stone is also a perfect game symbol: bold, simple and readable on any screen, as in Ruby Hit.

The golden book

Ancient Egypt has fascinated festival makers and game designers alike. A glowing book of legends with a pharaoh on its cover promises adventure — open it in Book of Gold.

The blazing coin

Fireworks and flames are the finale of any fiesta. Fire Coins turns that moment into one blazing golden symbol on a dark stage.

Just symbols

However festive, in our free slots these symbols only change the on-screen score. Results are random, and every spin is independent.
