Sugar Skull Spins

The Mexican Day of the Dead, with roots way beyond Mexico even being a thing, has proven to be a popular theme, both with players and with game developers.

Slot Factory shows their take on the subject in Sugar Skull Spins. If you don’t know what a sugar skull is, you’d be glad to know that it’s exactly what the name implies: a skull shaped from sugar. It’s not morbid at all, quite the opposite.

As for the slot, we’re looking at fifteen paylines that offer normal wins and also a progressive jackpot. Read the review to discover the full details.

Theme and Symbols

You should know that those sugar skulls are not meant to be eaten, they are purely decorative. So if you ever do end up in Mexico during Dia de Muertos, be sure not to commit that faux pa.

This also explains why the slot comes with such colourful graphics and a beautiful art style. Once you make it to the different bonus games the spectrum increases with plenty of interesting symbols added to the mix.

The audio effects are a mixed bag. On one hand, the music itself is pretty chill...on the other one, the sounds of landing a combination and such often break that tranquility.

Betting Options and Functions

Bet on the fifteen paylines, and collect your wins from the three to five symbol combinations that form on the five reel setup. The basic game is that simple, and it’s not at all different from the majority of slots.

What sort of wins there are? Quite nice ones. The smallest prize paid out is equal to your bet, and the biggest one is 500 times your line bet. Not a super-high spread, but again not that different from the standards of the industry.

Of course, this all changes when one of the many specials come into play...

Features

Let’s take the wild for starters. Land five of them on a payline and you’re suddenly looking at a payout 2000 times your line bet. Good enough, right?

Bonus spins symbol awards you with bonus spins, up to nine at a time. At the same time, it pays out up to 100 times the line bet as an immediate win.

Next up, the luchadores. Line up these Mexican wrestlers, and you get to choose between three mini-games:

• Wheel Deal

Spin the wheel until you land on a collect portion. Each different slice of the wheel comes with multipliers, which are added together to determine your total sum won!

• Pick a Win

Multiply your bet and win hundreds by picking the right wrestler out of several options.

• Around the Ring

Spin the wheel and move around the ring resting on a wrestlers cape. Landing on different positions comes with different effects. Multipliers, payouts, collect, or just plain old loss. Take another spin around the ring and win even more massive prizes!

Then there’s the progressive jackpot that you can land with five matching symbols!

Our Take

Amazing graphics, slightly scary effects, sugar skulls, a pretty decent basic game and a score of amazing special features. Full mobile compatibility too! What more could you possibly want from this theme? Slot Factory is certainly showing they know how to make slots here!
