The Mexican Day of the Dead has formed the theme to several enjoyable online slots over the years and here it’s the turn of Red Tiger Gaming to come up with the musical goods in the shape of Esqueleto Mariachi, a game with a progressive a jackpot to complement the tasty bonus features.
Esqueleto Mariachi is a five reel slot with four rows and forty fixed paylines; the brightly lit town forms the backdrop to the reels which are strung with colourful lights and partly formed from animal bones.
The high value symbols include the bleached skull, a bottle of (presumably) tequila and a behatted cactus; 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.
The girl with the painted face is wild and she will substitute for all others to help form winning combos except for the Mariachi Spins scatter symbol.
Bonus Features
Game Modifiers
On any spin the following features can be randomly triggered:
- Guitarrista – the guitarist will play his instrument and wild symbols will be added to the reels for a guaranteed win.
- Trompetista – the trumpeter blasts symbols away, allowing new ones to fall in and potentially create winning lines.
- Maraquero – the reels are nudged to help form winning combos.
More than one musician can appear on the same spin.
Mariachi Free Spins
This is triggered by landing three of the Mariachi Free Spins symbols anywhere in view and you’ll receive a random number of free spins. Before the spins start you’ll also see that each of the Game Modifiers will be active a certain number of times and they are all guaranteed to appear once to help you out.
Progressive Jackpot
This is triggered from the base game by landing three of the jackpot symbols which will award either the Mega, Super or Quick Hit prizes shown to the left of the reels. There’s also a Daily Jackpot which must pay out before the time shown.
Verdict
There’s plenty to like about Esqueleto Mariachi with its colourful, undead musicians, appropriate background music variety of features; the progressive jackpot is always an enticing prospect and there’s an RTP of 96.06%.
