Neko Games unveils Rio-themed instant bingo slot Carnaval Link&Win

Buenos Aires-based games studio Neko Games, part of the Games Global network, has announced the launch of its latest instant bingo slot, Carnaval Link&Win. “This groundbreaking game merges the vibrant spirit of Rio’s Carnaval with innovative gameplay mechanics, setting a new standard in the instant bingo category,” Neko Games describes the slot.

Carnaval Link&Win is the first instant bingo game to feature the popular Link&Win slots mechanic. This feature allows players to collect Link&Win Coins and unlock a slot-based bonus with 3 free respins, with the chance to win a 10,000x Mega Jackpot by filling the entire grid with coins. 

In addition to Link&Win, Carnaval Link&Win introduces several features that enhance gameplay and player engagement:

• Super Line: Achieve a line win before the 18th ball draw to trigger the Super Line feature. Spin the Whirligig to boost winnings with multipliers up to 50x, or land a Carnaval symbol to unlock a Level 2 Whirligig with even greater multipliers. 
  
  
• ExtraLink: During the Extra Ball stage, every purchased extra ball has the chance to award an ExtraLink prize. This feature allows players to cash in the value of collected Link&Win Coins without losing them from the Link&Win panel.
  
  
• Scratchcards: Activate the Scratchcard Bonus with Bonus 1, Bonus 2, or Bonus 3 patterns to enter a 3x3 scratchcard bonus with a guaranteed prize. Scratch all squares and match 3 symbols to win, with amounts ranging from 10x to 100x. Bonus 2 and Bonus 1 scratchcards also offer additional Whirligig multipliers.
  
  
• Wild Balls: After purchasing an extra ball, players might receive a Wild Ball instead of a standard numbered ball. Wild Balls can be used to daub any number not yet called, giving players more flexibility and a strategic advantage. 

Sebastian Perrier, Managing Director at Neko Games, commented: “Carnaval Link&Win represents a significant evolution in the instant bingo category. By integrating the Link&Win mechanic into a bingo format, we’re offering players an unprecedented level of excitement and potential rewards.

"Our innovative features such as Super Line, ExtraLink, and Scratchcards are designed to keep players engaged and entertained, making every game a celebration of Carnaval and further bridging the gap between traditional bingo and slots.” 

The game's festive theme and features are inspired by the spirit of Brazilian Carnaval, seeking to immerse players in the lively atmosphere of Rio's Sambadrome.
