Players seeking the best online slots will want to look closely at Sugar Skulls, the Day of the Dead game from Booming Games.
This title turns what can sometimes seem like a morbid holiday into the kind of party no one will want to miss! Bright colors, festive design, and abundant features set this release clearly on the side of the living.
A bursting piñata can distribute Random Fiesta Awards on any spin, while free spins feature only higher-value symbols and wilds.
Theme
There’s no actual sugar or candy available in this slot, but with design and gameplay this sweet, this is hardly a problem.
Bright, colorful design pays homage the Mexican Dia de los Muertos, which is an occasion for great celebration and familial unity in Mexico and the world over. Candles honoring and inviting the spirits of the dead stand behind the reels, while ornate skeletons and skulls are to be seen everywhere.
Vivacious, mariachi-inspired guitar music provides a delightful soundtrack.
Gaming symbols include four florid, immaculately decorated skulls (one of whom sports a ray gun), as well as the playing card values ace through jack, which provide lower-value symbols.
A purple wild symbol substitutes for other symbols to form winning combinations.
This title’s most important symbol, though…
… is the winding gear Free Spin symbol. It acts as scatter, triggering the free spin feature when three or more appear on the reels.
