Cursed Clown Demo Review
I’ll be honest — when I saw Cursed Clown by Croco Gaming, I half expected another reskin of “evil circus” slot #87. You know the type: pennywise vibes, generic laughter, maybe a creepy bonus round if you’re lucky. But to be fair, this one actually tries.
The theme leans all-in on unsettling — rotting carnival tents, busted jack-in-the-boxes, and a clown that looks like he hasn’t slept since 1994. Visually, it’s not going to win design awards, but there’s a charm in the grime. It feels like you’re spinning reels at a rundown fairground in a horror B-movie. And I kind of respect that.
Gameplay-wise, Cursed Clown runs on a 5×3 grid with 25 fixed paylines. The base game’s got expanding wilds that show up as clown masks — they stretch across reels when they land, which can lead to some surprisingly solid line hits. Not mind-blowing, but decent enough to keep things moving.
The bonus feature is triggered with 3 scatter symbols — the dreaded clown bell. Once you’re in, you get 10 free spins with sticky wilds that can build multipliers as they land. If luck’s on your side, the last few spins can get hectic in a good way. There’s no bonus buy, which is a bit of a downer for us impatient types, but at least the bonus isn’t buried 200 spins deep.
The stats are respectable: 96.6% RTP puts it on the friendly side, and the volatility is medium-high — which basically means “prepare to wait, then maybe hit something decent.” Max win caps around 5,000x, so there’s potential, but don’t expect a Gates of Olympus-style fireworks show.
Croco Gaming isn’t exactly a household name, and while Cursed Clown doesn’t break new ground, it does feel like they tried to build an actual vibe instead of slapping a scary face on a template. That’s more than I can say for half the horror slots out there.
Might not be for everyone, but if you’ve got a soft spot for creepy carnivals and you’re not allergic to medium volatility, give the demo a go. Just… maybe don’t play it with the lights off.
