Balloon Race Live- What you need to know
Balloon Race is a sparky blend of a slot and a live game show that is themed around a hot air balloon concept. Created by Evolution Gaming - famous for the renowned Crazy Time game, this delivers on the interactive gameplay of live casino.
Balloon Race Live is a three-phase game where you need to qualify for the live game show, where the first balloon to reach the top wins. There are a combination of multipliers to win from the Qualification phase, Top Up phase and the Balloon Race bonus round.
The game starts with the Qualification Stage, which is played on a five-reel, three-row slot with 10 fixed win lines. In this phase, there's one scatter symbol (with multipliers), one Expanding Wild, and eight paying symbols. Your objective is to land a winning combination of any three symbols to qualify for the bonus game.
When you've successfully qualified, any scatter multipliers (up to 30x) you got during the Qualification Phase will be carried over to the Balloon Race Bonus round. You can still also get payouts for all winning combinations during the Qualification Phase, which will be paid out according to the pay table.
After qualifying for the Balloon Race Bonus round, you can take part in the Top-Up phase. By clicking the TOP-UP button, you release 3–6 balloons, each containing a possible Top-Up value. As the balloons get higher, they can either pop or reach the top. If they reach the top, their respective Bonus value will be added to the corresponding finish target and will contribute to the total Bonus value for the Bonus game.
When the Top-Up time is over, you'll automatically be transferred to the Balloon Race Bonus round.

Bonus Features in Balloon Race Live
If you have completed the first two phases - the Qualification and Top Up stage, it's time to hit the main Balloon Race Bonus Game:
Balloon Race Bonus Game
The Balloon Race Bonus round is where there are extra bonuses to win. The Bonus game features a ball drawing machine that contains 80 balls in yellow, purple, green, and red (20 balls of each colour), with different multipliers waiting for you at the finish line.
As the race begins, coloured balls will be drawn randomly. When a ball is drawn, the balloon of the corresponding colour will go up one space. This process will continue as the ball-drawing machine draws different-coloured balls.
The objective is for one of the balloons to be the first to fly five positions up to the finish line. When one balloon gets to the top after five steps, the race is done. The colour of the winning balloon will determine what multiplier you get. Once the first hot air balloon has reached the finish line, all multipliers (Scatter, Top-Up, and Bonus round) will be calculated together using the formula: (Scatter multipliers x Bonus round multipliers) + Top-Up multipliers = Final multipliers. That’s what you win.
