Are you ready for fiesta?!
Inspired by the Dia de Muertos or The Day of the Dead, Real Time Gaming is taking us to the South American country of Mexico during the celebration of this holiday.
On this day, people are remembering and honoring their deceased loved ones, but it’s not a gloomy occasion. Mexicans are grieving, yet celebrating the lives of those who have passed on.
In the background…
…we can see the festive streets of a small Mexican town. Colorful confetti are flying through the air and covering the cobblestones streets. The party is just beginning!
Visually, the graphics are stunning and the animations are beautifully done. The completely dark reels make the symbols really pop – up. It would be foolish not to expect mariachi music as the soundtrack in this case. Upbeat and loud, guitars and trumpets make the whole gameplay even more immersive.
Betting Options and Symbols
The Mariachi 5 is the 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win game.
Those of you who are interested in playing this title will have to bet between 0.30 and 300 $ per spin.
AND…
…what about the symbols?!
Well, there are the standard low – value icons 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. The high – value icons are 5 mariachi skeletons with sombreros and instruments, ready to perform. The highest paying of them all is the one wearing red sombrero and he will get you 750 x line bet for landing 5 on a line.
Special Features
There is a nice set of special features accompanying this video slot.
First of all, there is a wild and it’s a grouped symbol appearing only on the reels 2 and 4. It can substitute for all symbols bar the scatter. When this icon appears in a winning combination during regular game, the prize will double.
AND…
…the Scatter is represented by the piñata in a shape of a donkey. Piñatas are the central component to any Mexican fiesta, but especially children birthday parties.
Traditionally, they are made of clay and then covered in paper mache but…
…the most interesting part is off course that they are filled with fruit, candy or small toys. In the case of this release, getting three or more of them anywhere in the view will trigger the bonus spins.
When the additional round is activated, punters will have to choose one of 5 mariachi characters. Each one of them brings the combination of spins and multiplier. So…
…depending on which one you choose, you can get 5, 8, 10, 12 and 15 spins with x8, x5, x4, x3 and x2 multiplier. During these bonus rounds, extra scatters and wilds are added and scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet.
Conclusion
All in all, this video slot features immersive gameplay.
The theme is not unique, and there are more than a couple of releases based on this famous South American holiday and band of cheerful musicians but…
…the crisp and colorful visuals in combination with the festive mariachi soundtrack are creating a vibrant atmosphere. And with up to 15 bonus spins that go hand in hand with a multiplier, there’s no doubt additional rounds will appeal to players.
