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.
