Masked balls and Venetian aristocracy are the themes of Royal Masquerade, an online video slot from developer Play ‘n Go. Masquerades were popular among aristocrats and royals a few centuries ago, and the residents of Venice particularly enjoyed donning extravagant masks to obscure their identities while attending the events. This pastime led to the historic tradition of the mask festival in Venice, which is still held on an annual basis to this day.
