How do you make a follow up game to a legend? That was the quandary that was facing Eyecon when they decided they were going to create sequels to the original; and iconic; Fluffy Favourites game from 2006. The answer they decided upon was to keep all the themes that made the original such a triumph, polish up the visuals, and add a new bonus round. The end result was Fluffy Fairground, which is also sometimes known as Fluffy Favourites Fairground, just to emphasise the connection to the original.
This game takes place in the same incredibly cute and cuddly world as the first game, full of the same kind of stuffed toys we used to snuggle up in bed with when we were children, or tried to win at amusement parks and fairground when we were very young. The appeal is simple to understand; it speaks to the inner child in all of us, evokes a powerful sense of nostalgia, and makes for a bright, cheerful and entertaining environment for the game to take place in.
The background of the game reminds us of the summers of our youth; there’s even an arcing rainbow in the sky on the right hand side which might - deliberately, we think - remind British players of a certain children’s television program that was extremely popular from the 1970s through to the 1990s. The big top of the fairground’s circus is just about visible over the reels, and a big wheel across to the right adds to the spirit of fun. The whole playing area is a joy to behold, and the two dimensional graphics of the original have been updated and rendered in crystal clear 3D. This is a game that looks great on an HD screen.
On the reels, everything has been devoted to the theme; there are no basic card symbols, that would take away from the adorable animals! Instead we have a clown fish, a panda, a lion, a duck, a blue rhino, a purple hippo, a pink dragon, a giraffe, a turtle and a gorilla. A fluffy pink elephant; which is a constant within the Fluffy Favourites universe; takes the shape of the wild, and there’s also a big top symbol which is the scatter. The wild can substitute for any other symbol apart from that.
Bonus Features
Eyecon games tend to go one of two ways; they either create video-game influenced online slots which are full of intricate bonus features and plenty of layers of complexity, or they take a more basic approach which is more accessible to the casual gamer. Fluffy Fairground falls into the second of these two categories. Therefore it offers only two bonus features, but both of them are well executed and make worthwhile additions to the game.
1. Free Spins: Free spins are available within the game if you manage to find three, four or five pink elephant symbols (as well as being a wild, the pink elephant doubles up as a second scatter. It’s a very useful symbol!). Depending on how many you have on your reels, you’ll be awarded either 15, 20 or 25 free spins.
2. Hook A Fluffy: Hook A Fluffy is where the real fun is, though. Find 3, 4 or 5 big tent symbols and you’ll be whisked off to a special screen, where the animals float around on a water slide. That can’t be good for them, they’ll get soaked! Within this screen, you’re looking to find bouncy castle symbols. Depending on how lucky you are, you’ll be able to make three, four or five selections from the soft toys on offer. A lucky selection will bring you one hundred times your initial stake as a win, so choose carefully!
Fluffy Favourites Fairground Developer - Eyecon
Anyone who knows and loves online slots will need no introduction to Eyecon Games; they’re one of the biggest names in the industry, and they have a well-earned reputation for quality. They actually started life making regular video games, which probably explains the video-game style quality and innovation that their slot games often feature during bonus rounds.
Eyecon were founded way back in 1997. They caught the world’s eye with a game called ‘Gore’, which was downloaded several million times and established them as a confident and capable name in the digital entertainment world. In 1999, they decided their future would be based around making online slots; they’d seen the way the internet was developing, and decided to get their foot in the door before almost anybody else.
They took their time to get it right, and didn’t put their first release onto the market until they were sure they had a hit on their hands. That was 2003’s ‘Temple of Isis’, which is still popular with players today. One of their key strengths has been to make games that are designed to last for a long time; instead of hopping into the latest trend, or building games around a theme that will only be popular for a year or so, they create games with the intention that they’ll have a timeless appeal, and keep players coming back year after year.
Perhaps no game has demonstrated that so well as ‘Fluffy Favourites’, which was launched in 2006. It’s the jewel of the Eyecon crown, still as popular today as it’s ever been. Over ten years later it’s still recognized as one of the most played, and most loved, online slots of all time. That makes it an obvious choice to be featured here at UK Slot Games. It also explains why you’re currently reading a review of a sequel to that game!
Eyecon have released over sixty slot games to date, and their success has seen them able to open offices in both Australia and Guernsey. Whilst online slots are the focus of their business, they also have roulette and bingo titles on the market, too. Amazingly, Eyecon slot games receive more than six billion spins every year. That’s almost 11,500 a minute!
Eyecon are understandably proud of the success of their Fluffy Favourites franchise. On their own website, they say of Fluffy Fairground:- “After changing the history of soft slots forever with Fluffy Favourites, and then cementing the characters into the hearts of the playing public with Fluffy Too we are delighted that the third installment in the Fluffy Family has arrived.
Fluffy Favourites Fairground is a wonderfully rendered game, offering the chance to win up to 25 free spins and an amazing “Hook a Fluffy” feature game offering players the chance to win up to 100x their bet. This is a timeless 5 reel, 25 line slot game that shows why Fluffy is everyone’s Favourite!”
Even though there’s a lot of hyperbole in that statement, we think they’re still selling themselves short. They didn’t so much change the history of soft slots as invent it; it’s a market they’ve made almost entirely their own.

You already know by this point that Fluffy Fairground is a sequel to an existing game. It’s not the first sequel either; there’s Fluffy Too, which came between the original and this most recent instalment. The incredible success of the franchise has practically demanded that Eyecon make more, and we’d bet that there will be more games bearing the Fluffy Favourites name to come in the future, too; especially if they can maintain the same kind of quality that they’re showing here. There’s a family of Fluffy Favourites games, and this is a brief outline of what they offer.
Fluffy Favourites
The original game in the series, and an iconic legend in the land of slot games. When this game was released, it was considered to be close to slot game perfection. In truth, these days it looks a little dated when you directly compare it to Fluffy Fairground, but that’s because over ten years have passed between the titles. It’s still full of charm and joy, and with its gentle volatility and 95.3% RTP it still attracts plenty of regular players, even though more modern takes on the formula are now available. One of the key differences between the games, other than the vastly improved animation and sound, is the bonus features; instead of the Hook-a-Furry mode that was innovated in Fluffy Fairground, there’s a Toy Box feature instead, re-creating the process of trying to grab a soft toy from a glass booth using a claw. Anyone who went to a British seaside when they were a child will know exactly what we mean!
Fluffy Too
The direct sequel to the original game (too = “two”. Get it?) is faithful to the original. The scenery is familiar and just as cute, but the fairground that all the cuddly toys call home has now moved to the beach! Most of the toys from the original game back it back for the sequel, along with some new friends who they’ve picked up on the way. Somehow, they’re even more bright and colourful here than they were in the original. The pink elephant is back as the wild symbol, too, and just like last time it will give you free spins if you can find a bunch of them. What really marks ‘Fluffy Too’ out as different from the game that came before it is the ‘Coin Pusher’ bonus. When three (or more) scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, the mode is triggered. Each coin you find is hiding a secret value; one of which is a multiplier of one hundred times your original stake.
Fluffy Fairground Jackpot: A “jackpot” version of the ‘Fluffy Favourites Fairground’ game.*
Fluffy Favourites Jackpot: A “jackpot” version of the original ‘Fluffy Favourites’ game.*
Fluffy Too Jackpot: A “jackpot” version of the second ‘Fluffy Favourites’ game.*
*In “Jackpot” titles, the maximum prize available within the game is increased to £25,000, although precise amounts may vary.
Fluffy Favourites Instant
This is a different type of take on the ‘Fluffy Favourites’ franchise. It’s also made by a different company; in this case, Instant Win Gaming as opposed to Eyecon. If you’re not familiar with the concept of ‘Instant’ games, it’s essentially a scratchcard game turned into a slot game experience In the case of ‘Fluffy Favourites Instant’, it takes the theme, the feel, and many of the adorable characters from the Fluffy Favourite world, and puts them behind a cover for you to scratch off. Three games are playable once you’ve selected your stake amount; the first is a basic game of finding three matching symbols to win a prize, the second requires you to find two matching symbols in a row to win the displayed prize, and the third is all about finding one lucky symbol anywhere on the screen.
Fluffy Favourites Bonus
Another game in the series that was made by Instant Win Gaming as opposed to Eyecon, and another fresh take on the online slot experience. If you’ve ever played ‘Tetris’ - and who hasn’t? - then you’ll intuitively know how to play this game already. Play takes place on a 9x6 grid full of the adorable animals from the Fluffy Favourites game world. All you have to do is find five or more matching animals to win a prize. Once you’ve matched them up, they’ll vanish from the grid, and more animals will take their place (exactly like making lines on Tetris!). You just carry on matching them up until there are no more left to match. The more matches you make, the more points you get. And what do points make? Prizes! It’s worth noting that not all of the animals are worth the same in this game; fifteen purple hippos will net you 10,000 times your initial stake, for example, whereas fifteen yellow ducks only get you fifty times your stake. That’s still a good multiplier! There are a few bonus games thrown in for good measure, including the kind of ‘prize picker’ rounds that make ‘Fluffy Favourites’ so popular in the first place.
Similar Games
When ‘Fluffy Favourites’ became a huge hit, the entire gaming industry sat up and take note. There may not have been many games themed around the ‘cute’ genre before; perhaps because the developers didn’t think it would appeal to adults; but they were wrong. In any event, there have been several games made since that have a few things in common with the Fluffy Favourites game world, but are either made by completely different development teams, or have nothing to do with the Fluffy Favourites franchise whatsoever. Here are just a few of them.
Big Top: Big, bright, bold colours? Check. Adorable animals on the reels? Check. A circus setting? Check. ‘Big Top’ may have a lot of the same dressing as ‘Fluffy Fairground’, but it confines itself to staying in the circus tent itself instead of venturing into the fairground outside. That’s why the animals on the reels are joined by circus clowns, and the animals themselves are performing tricks. There’s even a lion in a top hat! Who let him be ringmaster? This game was made by Microgaming, and it’s one of their older titles. That age shows, even though it’s still fun to play. There’s no background music at all, barely any animation even when a winning line is found, and a one dimensional graphical style. It’s a fun game that’s easy to understand and easy to play, but doesn’t offer any bonus games other than a few multipliers.
Teddy Bear’s Picnic
NextGen Online have made something that feels a little closer to ‘Fluffy Fairground’ in ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’. The visuals are just as adorable and soft, and if you ignored the title this could be mistaken in look and style to a ‘Fluffy Favourites’ game. They’ve just moved the animals away from the fairground and taken them out on a picnic for the day. In an interesting theme, the teddy bears have lost all the items they need for their picnic, and if you can find their food and cutlery they’ll pay you quite handsomely for them! There are a few bear-themed bonuses, too; scattered picnic basket symbols can pay out up to 100 times your bet if you find them in the right combination, and there are even some missing bears to find, too! This is a non-traditional online slot in that it doesn’t offer free spins or a ‘prize picker’. It’s the ‘prize picker’ aspect of ‘Fluffy Fairground’ that really makes it stand out.
Wolf Cub
We don’t usually think of wolves as being cute, but that perception completely changes the moment you load up ‘Wolf Cub’. These adorable baby wolves would never bite you; would they? This is a wintry, and perhaps even almost Christmassy, game which features fluffy wolves out in the snow, needing your help. Unlike ‘Fluffy Fairground’ there’s only one type of animal on the reels here, but if you like wolves and huskies we doubt you’ll mind. This is a NetEnt game; yet another developer who’ve seen the success of ‘cute and fluffy’ games and decided to join in. There are free spins, bonus games, wilds and scatters; all the mechanics of a traditional slot are here for you to enjoy. Sadly no pink elephants though!
Furballs
Somewhere between ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘Fluffy Fairground’ lives ‘Furballs’. The creatures within the game haven’t been drawn with the same level of charm or lovability as the Fluffy Favourites gang have, but they’re an undeniably cute and endearing bunch; and there are a lot of them! This is a crisp, clean, sharp and simple game that won’t win any awards for stunning design, but the minimalistic layout means it’s easy to play on mobile formats. There’s a free spins bonus feature, which is what you’d expect as a minimum, and also ‘energy ball’, ‘lightning ball’ and ‘virus ball’ wilds which is where the ‘Space Invaders’ comparison comes from. Find one of these balls and they’ll have an effect on the furballs around them, either changing their colour or destroying them completely. That could make it easier for you to find winning lines, or it could make it harder. This is a Core Gaming slot game, which isn’t as innovative or immersive as ‘Fluffy Fairground’, but has a definite appeal of its own.
Jurassic Juniors
What if the fluffy favourites in the ‘Fluffy Fairground’ game weren’t actually cute stuffed toys? What if they were cute baby dinosaurs instead? That’s the major difference between ‘Fluffy Fairground’ and this title. If you remember the sitcom ‘Dinosaurs’ from the 1990s you’ll immediately see where this online slot got its inspiration from; right down to the dinosaurs in nappies! The adult dinosaur on the reels is the wild, matching with any of its children to create winning lines. The egg is a scatter, and can bring you free spins. Is it as in-depth or expansive in terms of bonuses as ‘Fluffy Fairground’? No, but it’s still a fun game to play, and cute to look at!
Mobile vs Laptop Gameplay
Eyecon are a company with one eye on the future; they know that mobile gaming is only going to increase as a percentage share of the market as time goes on, and they’re ready to move with that trend. They do an exceptionally good job of adapting their games for the mobile format, and Fluffy Fairground is yet another example of that.
Nothing has been lost in the move from the desktop or laptop to the smartphone or tablet version. The graphics are of the same quality, the sounds are still there, and the features are unaffected. The only difference between playing on a computer or on your phone is that you’re using your finger to do it.
The game is even aware of whether you’ve viewing it in landscape or portrait mode when you load it up, and if you change the perspective, it will adapt itself accordingly. Instead of shrinking the play area or the buttons, it moves them to a different area of the screen, making sure they’re always accessible, and the play area is always in focus and clear. As an added bonus, you get a much better view of the big top, the rainbow and the fairground than you do when you’re playing the desktop version. That makes the game even more cheerful to play!
