I'm a huge fan on the WMS games. This company comes up with innovative and fun games over and over again. Unfortunately, "Mardi Gras Madness" just does not "do it" for me.

I have played the game long enough to know the bonus round is tough to get. You need to get 3 scattered symbols. When the bonus round finally arrives, you pick masked Mardi Gras revellers to get a number of free spins. You keep picking until the game starts. Typically ... the number of free spins in around 6 to 10. After each winning spin (if there are any) ... a float comes along with a muliplyer. Most are 2x or 3x --- it is possible to get 10x, but this is rare. Needless to say, most of the bonus rounds, when you finally get them, are busts!

The music that blasts is, "When the Saints Come Marching In" ... which I identify more as a spiritual tune ... and there is actually a woman singing the words.

Out of all of the times I had played this game ... I have jackpotted once. I'm sure the game plays as much as other WMS games ... but in my short sessions, this one just sucks the cash.
