Mardi Gras, better known as Shrove Tuesday in many Christian (especially, Catholic) countries, is part of Carnival celebrations held in February or March each year. During the festivities that attract celebs and performers from all over the world, people dressed in bright costumes flood the streets, participate in night parades and have fun for one or more days that precede Ash Wednesday. The Mardi Gras classic slot from Microgaming recreates the holiday atmosphere showing a neon-colored pink and black background with masked people, fireworks and disco lights.

The slot configuration and betting options are traditional for this kind of games released by Microgaming. Mardi Gras has three reels and a single payline that accepts 1, 2 or 3 coins. A coin is available in several denominations between $0.25 and $5, therefore a total bet can be almost anywhere between $0.25 and $15 per spin. Symbols are not versatile and include only three bar variants and two different 7s. Bars pay for a three-symbol match and for any three on the payline, with the maximum award being x45. Mardi Gras is one of the few 3-reel slots that pay for an “empty” combination. This means that a spin can sometimes result in no symbols on the payline; they can be above or below the payline but not along the payline. Should this occur, you win 3 coins for hitting an “empty” combo.

The Red Seven is the jackpot-awarding symbol that pays up to $20,000 if three of them land on the payline and you have placed three 5-dollar coins on that winning spin. Betting one or two $5 coins, you would get $2500 or $5000 for three Red Sevens, that is why you are recommended to play at max in order to get the most out of Mardi Gras and become a grand winner.
