Appearing at a Microgaming casino near you is this online slot machine inspired by the ancient Aztec tradition of painting skulls onto one’s face; don’t be put off by this slightly odd theme – it a very high quality game which will make sense once you get to try it out.

Beautiful Bones is a five reel slot with 243 ways to win – there’s no payline structure and wins can be formed as long as there are matching symbols in adjacent rows starting from the left hand side. The ornate set of reels sits against a sparkly, glowing backdrop and there’s an enticing soundtrack to keep things moving along.

There are five high value symbols and these are all characters from this story – three ladies and two gents; these can all be stacked but only on reels two, three and four. 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.

The wild symbol is a big . red heart which will substitute for all others to form winning combos except for the sugar skull scatter icon.

Bonus Features

Wild Spin Again

This mini-feature is triggered whenever three symbols line up horizontally or vertically anywhere on the reels; you will now receive one free spin with the centre position of those three transformed into a wild.

Sugar Skull Free Spins

You may have already noticed the meter which runs up the left hand side of the reels and a position is filled up each time a sugar skull symbol lands on the reels; when ten have been collected you can choose to take the 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier or keep collecting for 15 free spins with a 4x multiplier. Keep going and you’ll eventually collect thirty skulls for 18 free spins with a 5x multiplier.

The Wild Spin Again feature is also active during any free spins but you can’t keep collecting skulls during this round.

Verdict

We always like a slot in which the main feature is guaranteed to trigger eventually and that’s the case with Beautiful Bonus; it’s also a good-looking game with plenty of colour and vitality. It comes with an RTP of 96.55%.
