At first glance, this Red Tiger Gaming slot seems to bank on the success of Esqueleto Explosivo, a highly successful slot by Thunderkick. After a few minutes of play, you’ll notice that what has really been plagiarised are the excellent production values. There’s no shortage of animations, music, and action in this slot. You’ll be sure to fall in love with the gameplay too. The game stands well on its own and is sure to be a hit.
Theme
Esqueleto is Spanish for skeleton, and skeleton mariachis are what you’ll find on the screen. From the moment you start the game you’ll witness spectacular animations and graphics. It’s not just about few skeleton symbols, but an overall pervasive theme that will make you want to pick up a guitar and dance around playing the tunes yourself. Everything from the card ranks to the high-paying symbols plays in tune with the game.
Betting Options and Functions
The symbols connect from left to right through forty fixed paylines. There is a total bet selector, which runs as low as 0.20 coins per spin. Players with deeper pockets can bet up to 500 coins per spin, though this depends on the casino as well. Plenty of leeway in either direction in any case.
The low-ranking symbols pay between four and 72 times your bet, while the sombrero cactus, tequila, and the skull pay between 24 and 300 times your line bet. The wild dancing lady pays up to 500 times the bet. The game comes with a 5 x 4 reel setup.
Features
Most of the features here are active during all spins, making the every spin an exciting one. The three skeletons play their instruments, each giving a special bonus. The guitarrista strums his tunes and summons wilds to the screen for guaranteed wins. The trumpetista blasts away symbols and lets new ones drop in their place, forming new winning combinations. The maraquero shakes the maracas so hard that the reels nudge to reveal new wins. All of these feature fun animations.
All three together form a special symbol of which three are needed to launch the free spins. A random number is awarded, with 25 being the max. During these spins, the above-mentioned features are guaranteed to activate at least once each.
A card gamble function can be used with any basic win. You get two choices here, either to choose a color or a suite. With color, your chances of guessing correct are 505, whereas with the suite it is only 25%. Choosing the right color doubles your pot, whereas choosing the right suite quadruples it. Choose wrong though and you lose the whole pot.
Our Take
At first, you think this is just a copycat slot, but as soon as you play it you forget all about other slots. Red Tiger Gaming is not the most know company, but with this slot hitting the markets they will soon be. Esqueleto Mariachi might well become the next big hit. This is not only because of the excellent entertainment but also because the special features tie in with every basic spin. No need to just wait for elusive free spins when every spin can lead to a winning feature. Try it, you’ll love it!
